The mental processes OF the horse
and the dog are those OF man In much
lower degree, IN the vIcw Of Professor
n. A. Harvey OF Michigan. but the In
telligencc of insects must be Of very
different kind. The double nerve cord
and gangila differ both IN structure
and position from the brain and spinal
cord OF man. Insects eyes are I'm
movable and compound and perceive
motion and color. but not form. Ants.
bees, wasps and other insects have not
hearing. Taste and smell cannot be
Identical with those senses In man, and
feeling is a perception through touch
hairs instead OF tine skin. But insects
have very acute senses that we do not
possess. A cccropla moth can perceive
u female a mile or more away, al
though man could not detect Il un-
der the same conditions at a distance
Of more than six inches. and ants bees
aud wnsps seem 10 have other senses

fering from man In general structure,
with shorter lives and different living,

Soup Without a Spoon.

Soup without spoon seems even
harder to negotiate than meat without
a fork, and we can sympathize with
the complaint recorded in the diary of
Felix Platter. a young Swiss. who went
to Montpelier in 1862 in order to study
medicine. He lodged in the house Of
his professor. Catelan, one of the
greatest doctors of his time, and yet,
writes Platter. I'VE were compelled to
eat our stew in the usual French fash
ion-that is to say. picking the meat
out with our fingers and then drinking
the broth. In vain we begged our
hostess to let us have spoons, but not
single one was to he found in the
house, the only implement on the table
being large knife fastened with an
iron chain. No one here seems to have
ever heard of spoons, which we at

they put on the table as many spoons
as there are people present. West
