Brain of thu Raa.

In German scientific periodical @.
Jonescu gives the results of his studies
of the brain Of the bee. AS might be
expected from its wonderful instincts.
this Is found to be very complex. The
various divisions of the brain are de-
scribed In detail. but perhaps the most
Interesting part Is the comparison Of
the brains of queens. workers and
drones. The worker has larger brain
than the queen. and as the difference
between queen and worker Is the re-
suit Of diet during the grub stage 1t
appears that the food which develops
size of body and fertility Is not best
for the growth of brain. The royal
jelly" as mental stimulus Is a fail
ure. In the drone the brain is not
larger than in the worker. but the op-
tic lobes are large. corresponding to
the large eyes.

Didn't Wait the Attack,

At Boulogne during royal reception
some years ago a number of English
ladies In their anxiety to see every
thing pressed with such force against
the soldiers who were keeping the
line that the soldiers were forced to
give way and generally were. as po-
licemen say. "hindered In the execu-
command, observing the state of af-
fairs, called out: "One roll Of the
drum! If they don't stand back kiss
them ALP After the first sound of
the drum the ladies took to flight.
IF they had been French" said a
Partisan journal. they would have

Mike" Murphy Says that Change

Thinks Rule l. Necessary Regard
ing Linemen's Position
in the Game.

Mix" Murphy. PENIS veteran trainer
and football expert. is not among those
who think the great college game has
been injured by the no pushing or pull
ing rule and kindred changes adopted
this year. IN fact. Mike" is an optimist
as far as football is concerned. They are
improving the game all the time" he
said 10 a group Of last years Pennsyl-
vania team few days ago. 1t has
been a better game since 1905 than it was
before. and il will be better next fall
than it was last year. They have made il
impossible for all the strain OF the attack
TO be directed against one weakening
man. and tker have given greater oppor-
tunity for rest and recuperation by the
players during the game think they
will have 10 leave US the forward pass,
though. or we won't be able 10 gain
ground al all With the forward pass
in the game. the team on the defensive
viii have 70 play their half-backs back
10 stop the pass. and then il may be
possible 70 shoot one man through the
line and get him loose for a run with
out violating the no pushing or pulling
rule. IF they take the pass away. then
the half-back viii play UP close TO the
line and will throw the rur7er back
as he comes through the line for he must
come through alone.
7 think some rule viii be found neces-
sary requiring the linemen 10 play in

they have done in the past, I don't think

through them at all Make theyu play up
and he would have some chance az
least OF slipping past them.
These rules are going 20 put the game
back where IL was before 1892. Then the
game was largely individual. There was
little interference and no concentrated
massed attack. The development Of fine
team play and concentrated tack began
under Woodruff of Pennsylvania and
Stagg Of Springfield Training School at
the same time. Before that there was
no mass play. because the game had
not been syssematized. Now there will
be none because it will be impossible
