In a German scientific periodical O.
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-
scrlbed In detail, but perhaps the most
interesting part is the comparison Of
the brains of queens workers and
drones. The worker has a 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

larger than in the worker, but the op-

He felt that he was restored to con-
sciousness in the right nick of time for
the especial purpose of holding a con-
ference with the second messenger dis
patched to him through Jacob Marley's
Intervention. But, finding that he turn
ed uncomfortably cold when he began
to wonder which of his curtains this
new specter would draw back, he put
them every one aside with his own
hands and, lying down again, estab-
lished sharp lookout all round the
bed, for he wished to challenge the
spirit on the moment of its appearance
and did not wish to be taken by sur
prise and made nervous.
Gentlemen of the free and easy sort
who plume themselves on being ac-
quainted with move or two and be-
ing usually equal to the time of day ex-
press the wide range of their capacity
for adventure by observing that they
are good for anything from pitch and
toss to manslaughter, between which
opposite extremes no doubt there lies
a tolerably wide and comprehensive
range Of subjects. Without venturing
for Scrooge quite as hardly as this

that he was ready for good broad

| when the bell struck ! and no shape
appeared he was taken with violent
fit of trembling. Five minutes, ten
minutes, a quarter of an hour, went
by, yet nothing came. ALI this time he
lay upon his bed, the very core and
center of blaze of ruddy light which
streamed upon 1t when the clock pro-
claimed the hour and which, being
only light, was more alarming than a
dozen ghosts, as he was powerless to
make out what 1t meant or would be
at, and was sometimes apprehensive
that he might be at that very moment
an interesting case of spontaneous
combustion without having the con-
ISOLATION of knowing 1t. AT last. how
ever, he began to think, as you or
would have thought at first. for 1t is
always the person not In the predica-

say, he began to think that the source

obeyed.

no doubt about that-but It had I'M

whole form; but, though Scrooge press

not hide the light which streamed
from under it in an unbroken food

CAUSES OF THE PARIS FLOOD.

One of the curious reasons assign
ed for the predicament of Paris in
passing through a period of high
water in the Seine-the highest since
1615-is that the average rainfall in
the Seine watershed is comparatively
small. The modern city has been built
on that basis. The rivers banks are
not built high enough for an excep-
tionaI flow of water, and even the city
sewers have a run-on capacity much
less than that in many American
cities. The Philadelphia Press notes
the difference between the Seine and
the Susquehanna, rivers of about the
same length and draining nearly the
same number of square miles. While
the French streams watershed has an
annual average rainfall of 24.S inches.
the American has one of from IS to 43
inches, the annual run-off of the Seine,
as a consequence, being much the less
in ordinary years.
In explaining the present flood in
the Seine, recourse must be had evil

he shuts in. A truth which we seldom
appreciate. and one that may eman-
cipate multitudes from anxiety and
strife, is that one may be very rich in
this world and not exercise extensive
prerogatives of private ownership. In
deed, the AMOUNT of stun which we
must privately possess in order to be
as rich in life giving materials as Is

serving as with much goods. We are

wealth OF the world, above bread and
