THE INTELLIGENCE OF INSECTS.
1t is Of a Different Order From That of the
Mammal.
.WannnnaI.

The remarkable researches of Lord
Avebury better known to scientists
as Sir John Lubbock, of Berthelot,
Weismann, Fabre, Romanes, and
others, concerning the intelligence of
insects, have been supplemented by
the studies and experiments of Pro-
fessor Nathan Harvey, of Michigan.
Professor Harvey has proved that, al
though proportionately the intelli-
gence of mammals is of a similar
order to the intelligence of man, that
of insects is of a different order.
The nervous system of the insect
differs completely from that of the
vertebrates. Not much is known of
the insects organs of sense, but
enough to make it possible to form
certain conclusions Harvey holds to
the opinion that insects are devoid of
hearing, although some savants claim
that they call their fellows and an
swer their call by peculiar rasping
motion of portions Of their bodies.
The nervous chain of insects is
formed by two cords Joined in gang
lions; 1t is not like the spine of the
human being in any respect. Insects
have no sense of smell nor any sense
Of taste, although it has been pre-
tended that their sense of taste lies
in the gullet, and that flies are capa-
BILE of discerning differences in food
products by the different odors. The
antennae of insects serve as very
weak organs Of feeling. On the other
hand, insects are endowed with very
acute organs Of which man knows
nothing, because the human body pos.
sesses nothing of the nature of the
organs Of the antennae, nor is there
anything in man resembling anything
in the structure Of the insect. Such
sense of sight as certain savants have
attributed to insects is extremely
short.

The life of the insect differs essen
TALLY from the life of man, and the
insects means of protecting and
maintaining its existence is peculiar
to the insect race.
In man most feelings and motives
OF activity result from the impulses
of self-preservation. The insect has
no such instincts. Possibly it has.
like man, the faculty of the appre.
hension of danger, but when 1t makes
attempts to escape from danger its
action is not wholly due to the desire
to escape. The ant and the bee show
that their intelligence is not devel-
oped to any important extent, and II
is probable that most of the activity
of the two insects is due to instinct
that is to say, to the acquired func-
tions peculiar to the species and not
to the individual.
Professor Harvey calls attention to
the fact that many human actions are
purely instructive, although they are
attributed to the action Of the will.
A man raises his hand instinctively
to parry a blow; instinct sends the
hand to an itching or aching point.
The action Of a man who turns his
head when he hears a sound is in
stinctive.
Intelligence cannot be considered
in all its expressions as a purely psy-
Geological faculty. 1t seems to be
comprehension based upon the con-
sciousness of relations. 1t has diff
ferent modes OF exercise. When we
talk of the intelligence of insects we
talk of something very different from
human intelligence. AS there are
divers categories of thinking beings
in nature, SO there are different forms
Of mentality. Insects have a form of
mentality of their own.- -Harpers

With deepening mystery closing in
It Is now a very gccd time TO admit
/ that little indeed is known regarding
! the nature of comets. Every eSpla-
nation made since science began IS be-
/ set with difficulties. All hypotheses
so far made fail utterly TO account for
all the facts For ages 1t has been
k-own that cometary streamers point
away from the sun while coming in
and also going away No explanation
could be made until the year 1899 A,
D., when II was discovered that ra-
diant energy waves press against any
object upon which they beat. All
adopted this fact as being the real
cause Of the streamers OF comets. Ex-
cessiyely minute particles in the nu-
cleus, It was taught, were driven to
the rear by The pressure of the solar
waves of light, heat and any other
which may exist but not yet dlscov-
ered
But this plausible doctrine has
troubles Of it's own. Here are facts
50 far declared about comets: They
come in from the interstellar deeps
toward the sun; they start with slow
motion, but this increases day by day
until finally, when the nearest point
to the sun is reached, they wheel
around it with speeds beyond all pow
ers of imagination, and dash away to
space depths with a velocity decreas-
ing with the same rate Of acceleration
when coming into the solar system.
They all start to fall on a curve, eith-
er a parabola or hyperbola, scarcely
distinguishable from a straight line
for lengths of several million miles.
All comets would no doubt move
around the sun as a focus once only,
never to return, were 1t not for the
planets. These disturb the motions
of comets and draw them into ellipti-
cal orbits. Ellipses are closed curves;
hence comets on these must make
regular returns as members Of the
suns family of cosmical bodies. Ju-
piter, owing to its huge mass, has at
tracted many comets and changed
their paths from the open to closed
curves and adopted them into his
family Of comets. The sun alone can
not adopt. A planet can also reject
instead Of adopt.
If a comet is coming around here
on a parabola, it will go around the
sun and fly away toward the same
direction in space whence It came.
Now, n slight increase in the speed of
a parabolc comet will change its or
bit into a hyperbola; it will pass
around the sun and retire to infinite
deeps in a different direction whence
1t came. If the incoming velocity is
decreased, the parabola will be
changed to an ellipse, The planets,
changing position all the time, can
either accelerate or retard.
The magnitudes Of the heads Of
comets range from 10000 to 10000
miles in diameter. A few have been
seen with a less diameter than 10000
miles, but many greater than 100,-
900. The nucleus of the comet of
A. u. 1911 was 100000 miles in
diameter, that of the eartn being
1916 and Of the sun itself sec, 900.

Mayor w. w. Zimmerman will is.
sue a proclamation soon setting aside
the first week in May as cleaning up

only one day has been set aside for
this purpose and the idea of devoting
an entire week to this end is some

never been tried before in this state.
The movement is heartily indorsed
by the women's federated clubs of
this city and the board Of health.

and the cooperation of everyone is
asked in the movement Mrs. F. w.
Stephens of the federated clubs spoke
before the students at the high school
this morning and solicited the aid
and support of the pupils in making
the movement a success. She dwelt
at length on Richmond's reputation as
being one Of the most beautiful cities
In this part of the country and asked
that that reputation be retained She
told how the pupils could help to
keep this reputation by taking pride
In the general appearance Of their

1t is said that Mrs. Allison joined
church shortly after the Lucy murder
It is thought that the fact that she
possessed knowledge as to the perpe
traitor Of the crime SO preyed on her
mind as to cause her to declare that
she could keep the secret no longer.
No Criminal Assault.
The new theory accounts for several
details OF the crime which have here
tofore baffled the authorities. It is
the general belief of the physicians
that no criminal assault was made on
Mrs. Allison. The house was not rob-
bed and the time of the murder was
carefully planned, by some one alleged
to be familiar with the customs and
habits of the family at a time when
Mr.. Allison and the two children would
not be present to interfere in any way
with the carrying out of crime IL one
was found to be necessary.
Mrs. Allison hved but a short dis
tance from Joseph Lucy at the time the
latter was murdered. 1t was not
until recently, however, that 1t was
known she possessed knowledge Of the
murder, and this leaked out when she
Is alleged to have told some OF her
friends that she knew the pernetrator
of the crime and could keep the secret
no longer. as she thought that she was
defeating justice. She Is alleged to
have said the secret was driving her
crazy.
What Officials Believe.
1t is alleged that more than one per-
son was mixed up in the Lucy murder
and in fact that authorities are prac-
tically convinced that the crime was
committed by well organized gang. It
is thought that a member of this gang
was sent to the home of Mrs. Allison
on Wednesday of last week for the
purpose OF keeping her quiet on the
subject, and, falling to secure any sat
isfaction, carried out his Instructions
to kill her II necessary.
The theory that tramp committed
the brutal crime, however, is still main
tanned by many in spite of the most re-
cent bit of evidence. A man was ar
rested at Hagerstown last evening on
OF being the murderer. but
was released this morning as he did
not answer the description of the fu-
gitive. The following communication
was received from G. N. Sells, deputy

was arrested here last evening
