STICK INSECTS.

They Sleep In the Daytime by Going
Into . Rigid Trance.
One Of the most curious inhabitants
of the insect world Is what is known
as the stick insect. about which Pro
fessor Schmidt OF the Imperial uni
versity Of st. Petersburg has been
making some strange discoveries.
This queer insect remains In a quiet
state during the hours Of daylight
Until now 1t has always been supposed
that this was slumber. but Professor
Schmidt says II is really a state OF
catalepsy. or trance. which the insect
has developed as means OF protec-
tion against its enemies.
When I'm one Of these frances the in
sscts will remain for hours In most
abnormal Notwithstanding on their
heads fat on their backs or with
their legs extended high I'm the air
and the body arched in the form Of a
bow. Only some prolonged excitement
of the nervous system will rouse them
from this rigid cataleptic state. but
when the trance is over they show no
signs whatever Of muscular fatigue.
The stick insect passes all Its days
In trance and feeds at night on the
foliage Of plants where It hves.-Ex'

Amateur Headsman.

Most Of us are wont to think Of the
beheadment as a relic Of the dark ages,
but the last decapitatiOn which took
place In the British isles was no later
than 1920. The victims were two un-
fortunates who had taken part In the
Bonnymuir rising and were convicted
Of high treason. The sentence was car
ried out In Stirling, Scotland. The
headsman. who was masked and wore
q serge gown, was a small. nervous
man who did his work so badly that II
was not until the third stroke that he
decapitated one Of the unfortunates.
The assembled crowd yelled "Murder!'
and the miserable headsman was heard
to remark, III wish to heaven l had not
It to do" For long time his iden-
tity was a mystery. but 1t later devel-
oped that he was young medical stu
dent Of Glasgow. The Ak and the
mask which he used on the occasion
may still be seen.-New York Sun.

Crowded Street.

Crowded Street.
There are great many persons In
jured on windy. rainy nights because
they hold their umbrellas down In or.
der to protect their faces from the
driving rain," explained an ambulance
surgeon. I'm their desire to protect
themselves from the rain they place
themselves In grave danger Of being
struck and run over by surface cars,
automobiles and other vehicles.
'4f you wish proof Of my assertion
Just stand In a doorway some night
where you are protected from the rain
and where you are In position to see
an eXpanse Of thoroughfare which all
kinds Of vehicles use. You will be sur
prised at the large number Of persons
you will notice crossing the thorough
fare with their umbrellas held down so
far that 1t is impossible for them to see
anything approaching. They seem OBJ
iyious of danger. and spectator
would suppose from their actions that
there was not the remotest chance of
an accident occurring
"It IL q fact that many pedestrians
are injured on windy. rainy nights.
With their umbrellas pulled down so
that It is impossible to see ahead or to
the sides. the pedestrians walk in front
Of vehicles and are knocked down and
injured before they realize what has
happened."-New York Sun.

In England: i've been here and there

It's the most curious varnish Of civili-

shop boys. and the houses are all so
new that the walls are not even pa
pered. and on the walls In the midst
Of the hangings Of brocade and the
enormous gold frames and mirror you

Two months later he wrote from Bal
timore: "Now l have seen three great
cities-Boston, New York. Philadel-

the spring where the water bubbles up
that slakes your thirst and to dip your

the stay Of your four walls and the
timbers that uphold the roof that shell

shields; to find the air and the water
exhilarating; to be refreshed by a
morning walk or an evening saunter:

to be thrilled by the stars at night; to
be elated over a birds nest-these are
some rewards Of the simple life.-John

A few months since wealthy man

facts. He hunted up the lawyer. and
after few preliminary remarks about
the deceased. he said rather bluntly:
