E~.a of ths Rarnaol.

Tn the barnacle we have a unique and wonderful case of a creature that can afford as age comes on to dispense with the eyesight that was so useful in youth, for the young and old bar nacle are as different, one from the other, as fishes from seaweed. In the beydey of life the barnacle swims about the sea, seeking its food with the aid of its eyes and- generally lead ing a roaming existence. Later in life, however, it grows tired of this aimless wandering and settles down to worry ship captains by attaching itself to the keel of their craft and de flying the much advertised powers of various preventive paints Once there, the barnacle has become a fixture, and whether on ships or sharks its eye sight is of no more use. It cannot seek it's food, and it cannot shun its foes. for it never more will move. Therefore its eyes become superfiu- ous and, according to natures invaria- ble rule in such cases, disappear Our Dumb Animals.

CAPTURE OF CITY
 IN MEXICO BY THE
 REBELS CONFIRMED

Mexico City, June 10.-Twenty slrvi- vors of the federal garrison which was unsuccessful in the defense of zacate- cas struggled into Aquas Calientes to- day, with further confirmation of the capture of that city by the rebel forces a month ago. The reports which the survivors furnished were tele- graphed to the officials of the war de- pertinent here. The other members of
 the garrison, about 800 soldiers all
 told, were either captured or killed as,
 according to the refugees, they were
 fighting a rebel force three times as
 large as the garrison. They said they resisted until fighting resulted in the killing of many non-cornbatants. The successful rebels footed o3some extent One of the richest residents of
 Zacatecas was executed because he re-
 fused to contribute 10000 pesos The
 governor was made 3, prisoner. No mention was made of any for eigners being injured. The refugees
 said the rebels won little ammunition as that which was not used in the de- fense of the garrison was exploded by the federals before they surrendered.
 Four cannon and a few machine gums ! were captured.
 | According to advfces received by the war department, the rebels are nov
 ing to Aguas Calientes, where the gar
 rison is not large and the situation is now complicated because there are many idle wrorkmen who might join the rebel ranks. The police here, last night, arrested Dr. Rafael Copedo, a former governor of San Luis Potosi

 have been implicated in a plot to in l cite rebellion in the capital.

rha Noise of siII.vxormn.

A naked man is always in attend ance in the matching room of the silk worms of China. The worms, being so very frail that the temperature and humidity of their chamber must not vary, their guard is naked, so that he may detect any slightest change by the senSidveness of bis skin.
 After the worms are matched no loud talking is permitted near them, and there are even guards whose duty it is to keep the flies off them These guards must bathe before entering the worms presence, and their breath must be sweet and inoffensive. On ions, for instance, are forbidden fruit
 Such precautions seem absurd. Yet it is unQuestionable that China leads the world in silkworm culture. A Chi nese siIkworm farm breeds the strange industrious creatures by the million In one of the great silkworm houses it is possible to hear the worms feed ing; yea, it is even possible, so numer ous are they, to hear the sound they make in spinning their cocoons, 8 sound like the ripple of rain.-Chicagc Record Herald

GOVERNMENT HAS ADVICE FOR ALL
 PRODUCING EGGS

Washington, June 10.-Convinced that means could be found to over come loss of several millions of dol lars a year in the egg industry, the department of agriculture has just completed an extensive inquiry into the causes for bad and addled eggs. In a statement issued, today, the in vestigators fix the blame on the far mers and poulterers.
 ''The greatest part of the loss is due mainly to ignorance or indifference on the part of the farmer producers, p said the report, +'and only a small part is caused by carelessness on the part of the buyer and shipper"
 The department urges the observ- ance of five simple rules, in the con duct of the egg industry as follows:
 Give the hens clean nests. Gather eggs at least once daily. Keep eggs in cool, dry place. Market eggs at least twice a week. Kill or sell all mature birds as soon as the matching season closes
 The result of the investigation has been embodied in a special pamphlet ordered printed by the department
