AS a specimen of how practical the
Janancse are with their knowledge of
western science and determination to
deal with disease, they have levied a
tax on every household to produce two
rats every month. A fine is imposed
if the rats are not caught, and pro-
duced at the time of inspection. Every
raj is examined, and if found to be

they come is to be thoroughly

in hearing distance obeyed him and
stood bareheaded A moment later
the young man fastened towards an
elderly gentleman, shouting as he

SEEK TO TERRIFY ENEMIES
Insects. Physically Unable to "Put Up
Fight" Resort to All Sorts
of Schemes.

It is generally believed that many
animals, especially insects, assume
what is called a terrifying attitude, .
by means of which they escape their
natural enemies IN the Geological
"Jahrbuch'' Mr.. Arnold Japha de-
scribes the terrifying attitude" OF the
hawk-eyed moth.
During the day this insect sits with
folded wings on the willow, or other
tree. The eye spot and the rose-red
part of the wings are hidden, and the
moth looks like a group of dried will
low leaves. This is its protective at
titude by which it wishes to escape
observation. But if disturbed, 1t I'M
mediately assumes the terrifying at
titude." The eye spot and red are dis
played, thorax arched, abdomen curved
up. This is accompanied by protru-
ding and retracting of the front OF the
body.
The movement lasts some few sec
onds, or half a minute. This is thought
to brighten the moths enemies. The
eye spot may suggest the eye OF some
larger animal, while the energetic
motion may. give the impression that
the enemy itself is about to be seized
and deyoured.
But does the moths terrifying at
titude" really frighten its enemies, and
allow it to escape; Standfuss tried
some experiments with a view to set
Ting this point. He gave specimens
of the moth to nightingale, red-breast,
black-cap and other birds. Four out of
five were obviously frightened when
the moth assumed the terrifying at
tituda," and left it alone after one
trial

Agnes Carr Sage. in her book,

who. without living in the presideR-

their fun at the presidents expense.
Among them was the adopted daugh"

are In favor of Van Buren,. The little
maid stood a good chance of knowing
Van Buren,, Harrison. Tyler and Polk

the one who would have enjoyed the
