HOW INSECTS BREATHE.
System Of Tubes That Run the lenoth
of Their Rodisa


of Their Bodies.
Landlubber animals have lungs. and
sea creatures have gills. But insects
have neither one nor the other They
oave complex system Of tubes run
ming throughout the whole length of
the body by means OF which air is con-
veyed to every part OF the system. As
they are destined to contain NOTHING
but air. they are strongly supported to
guard against collapse from pressure.
This support Is furnished by means
OF fine thread running spirany with
In the walls Of the tube. much in the
same way that a garden hose is pro-
tected with wire. There are generally
two OF these tubes which run the
whole length OF the insects body.
Many dies. as larvae, live In the wa
ter. Arranged along each side of their
bodies Is a series of exceedingly thin
plates. into each OF which runs n Sc.
ries OF blood vessels. These plates act
and absorb the oxygen contained In
the water. The tail ends In three
feather-like projections. BY means of
these the larva causes currents of W.
ter to dow over the gills, and thus their
efficiency is increased.
The gnat also lives In the water as
a larva, But It has no gills: there
fore II cannot breathe the oxygen in
the water, but must breathe air. This
Is done by means OF a splcade situated
at the tip OF its tail. Indeed. the tail
Is prolonged into little tube. The
larva floats along head downward I'm
the water with this tube Just above
the surface TO enable IL to breathe.
After some time 1t Is provided with
two little tubes. which act In the same
manner.-Chlcago Tribune.

A RUSH OF BUSINESS.
VI Cam Just st the Tins He Wants

VI Cam Just st the Tims He Wanted
to Sell His Place.
One OF the leading men Of Louisville.
reported to be one OF the richest, got a
bad start In business. He began by
being a photographer. but found that
the business didn't come up to expec-
tations. He therefore wisely decided
to sell out and start at something else.
He finally interested some people in
the proposition and appointed a time
when they should come and look things
over
He now has the reputation Of being
shrewd. and that this is not a com
plimentary designation only is indi-
Gated by what happened then. He in
serted IN advertisement In the daily
papers In small enough type not to at
tract everybody's attention and vet
conspicuousiy enough to win consid-
GRAFTON from those who make a point
or looking for bargains, announcing
that on a certain day he would take
pictures free OF charge. BY n coin
cidence the day he set was the day
when the prospective purchasers of
his business were TO be there.
The ad.. as usual. paid. and that
afternoon his gallery was crowded
with visitors. They thronged In and
out. and he could not take care of
them rapidly enough, even with the
aid or several assistants. When the
folks he Intended to do business with
came he greeted them with a crown
OF disappointment. explaining that he
was simply so busy that he couldn't
see them then and asked them TO come
back In the morning. when things
would likely have slackened up. They
agreed and went away duly impressed.
He sold out to them next day, and It
Is perhaps superfiuous to add that he
got more for his outfit than he would
have done IL 1t hadn't been for the
modest little advertisement.-Lou

Breaking Them 70 the Yoks.

Edward l-isie. whose Observations
on Husbandry" was published In 1857.
described the method employed by his
"oxhind" or cattleman To break cattle
to the yoke: HE yoked two OF the
steers. being two yearlings. together
aud so suffered them TO walk about
the ground where there were no pits
or bitches for them To receive hurt by.
He also tied together the bushy parts
OF their tails. the reason OF which was
because they should not be able to
turn their heads TO each other SO as
to strike one another with their horns
or by bending their necks too much by
endeavoring TO face one another and
then striving break their necks." I'm
this condition the oxhind let them GO
on the ground, II without holes or
bitches. all night or else turned them
into an empty open barn so yoked and
thus treated them two or three times
before lie worked them.

HIS TWO TEMPTATIONS.

Billy Robelon. brakeman on the
Long Island railroad. has two qualities
that GO far toward making a human
success namely;
he Is honest and red headed.
Billy's quality OF honesty keeps him
on the straightway tracks. and his red
headed determination furnishes plenty
or motor power for speed.
The other day he was suddenly con-
fronted by two great temptations.

bag were worth $4,000.

money and offered him a lifetime lob
