The Early Greeks.

The early Greeks depended upon
the natural springs and cistcrns
hewn in the rock, but the INSULT.
cheney of the supply led to daring en-
gineering works. AS early as 625
B. c. tunnel, 1900 feet long, s feet
high, was cut through a hill which
stood between Samos and a coveted
supply of water, Fifty or sixty
years later extensive works Of a
similar mature were constituted to
bring water TO Athens from the hills
of Hymettus, Pentelicus and Par.
nasus Two conduits from Hymct-
tus passed under the head of lllissus
and were cut in the rock for most OF
the distance This conduit and one
from Pentelcus met in a large rcser-
voir Just outside Athens and from
this the water was distributed
throughout the city by underground
channels. Some of the ancient aquc-
ducts continue to supply Athens at
the present time.

Five Times as Numerous.

An English scientist is quoted as
authority for the statement that
there are five times as many species
of insects as there are species of all
other living things put together,
The oak tree alone supports $50
species Of insects and 200 kinds
make their home in the pine Forty
years ago Humboldt estimated that
the number Of species preserved in
collections was between 100000
and 10000 but scientific men now
say that there must be more than
100000, without taking into con-
sidcration the parasitic creatures.
OF the $4,000 species in Europe,
however, not more than $500 are
obnoxious or destructive There
are more than 100000 kinds of
beetles.

Enemies to Railways.

When railways were first made in
England they were opposed by the
people for the most absurd reasons.
DR.. Ashley Cooper, a famous physi-
clan in his day, said they would ruin
the nobility in a few years bv cut
ting up their estates, The agent of
the Duke Of Bridgeway kept game
keepers night and day with instruc-
tions to shoot all railway men who
trespassed on the Dukes grounds
But the surveyors managed to get
the better of the agent. Choosing a
moonlight night for the purpose,
they caused a number of shots to be
fired in a wood The game keepers
at once hurried to the spot to catch
the suspected poachers, and while
they were gone they examined the
land

Jan. 1st will prove money maker for
the government. First Assistant Post
master General Grandfield estimates
the net profits for the first year at $1O,-
100000. One reason for this is that the
rates as whole are not low. Within
fifty mile limit the rates are low
enough so that the government will
secure the business while outside that
limit the express companies will still
be able to compete with the mail rates.
