of the insect world are by no means
weaklings, but on the contrary, possess
marvellous muscular force and what
certainly is a wellnigh inexhaustible
fund Of energy.
, Probably most insects are stronger,
and more enduring, in proportion to
their size, than any of the higher ami
mails. They are always active, and
apparently quite beyond the reach Of
fatigue while life lasts. But ceaseless,
rapid movement imposes a serious tax
upon the machinery. Consequently we
| find that the insect is almost always
short-lived. 1t is said that the worker
hive bee literally wears herself out,
and dies, after a few weeks OF toll
for the benefit Of the commonwealth
in which she plays this brief part.

ODD FEAT OF JACK KNIGHT
In Memorable Battle Player Got Five Hits Without Hitting Safely Be-
 fore Twelfth Inning.

The major league player able to manufacture six hits in a game seems to be, like the dodo, extinct. Ath- letes, season after season, come through with five hits in a game, but getting six safeties seem to be an inn possibility
 The last major leaguer to make half dozen hits in one game was Jimmy Williams, and he turned the trick on August 25, 1902. when he was one of the orphaned Baltimores, in contest with the Chicago White Sox, for whom Clark Griffith and Dummy Leitner pitched.
 It would seem to be an impossibil- fty for player, whether of the major or minor leagues, to get five hits in a game without hitting safely before the twelfth inning, but Jack Knight, now of the Cleveland American as- sociation team, did that when he was one of Connie Mack's employees, on September 1, 1906.
 On that day Philadelphia and Bos- ton battled for 24 innings, and Knight made five of his teams fifteen hits of

DEMAND IS FOR ABLE MAN
High Positions Waiting for Those Who Are Competent Properly
 to Fill Them.

We know big firm in one of the oldest and most important industries in this country which has been hunt ing for over a year for man to whom to pay $15, 1000. and they cannot find him, writes the editor of the American Machinist
 We know an executive who wants two or three men as assistants; if he could find them in his plant he would gladly pay them $40 8 week. He has tried a considerable number in these positions during the past year, but without success as yet. He feels that he is positively hampered by the lack of them.
 We know that there is an active de- mand for $2.000 men. and we can readily believe that there Is a keen demand for $10.000 men.
 It is remarkable that in a plant em- ploying, say thousand men, there are so few who raise themselves above their fellows far enough to be con- spicuous to the management. And even, of those few, not all have the initiative, the ginger, and faculty of being thorough that would make them of value as assistants to the execu- tive. What god-send to the engineer is the draughtsman who can do his own thinking, and dig out the solution of a problem somehow without con- stant prodding and pointing from the boss!

 paper Syndicate) ; Long time ago, at the ball game, the little boys would sit outside the play ing ground with the old men so that the old men could tell them about the plays. for each little boy believed that when he grew older he would become one of the best ball players the h. dians ever had.
 And when the play grew exciting, and some young fellow was carrying the ball down the ground swift as light, lodging among the players like some strong-winged insect, the old men would cry out:
 There goes the bat--watch him twist and turn!" And when the young man had lost the ball and the game was no longer exciting, the little boys would ask the old men to tell them why the swift dodger was called the bat. And the old men would say:
 "Once the animals and the birds had a great dispute about which could play ball best; and the dispute lasted so long that the only thing they could do to stop it was to fix a day for a great game between them.
 When that day arrived, the animals all came together on broad meadow near the river, and all the birds gath cred in the tops of the trees close by. For the animals, the Great Beaver was captain. and on the way to the ball ground he boasted about how strong he was and what he would do to any bird that tried to take the ball away from him. To show how strong he was, the bear threw big logs over his shoulder
 And the Great Terrapin, who was at that time as big as the bear, showed how big and strong he was by rising up and humping the earth until it shook
 up in the trees, the birds chose the Great Eagle for captain and the swift hawk for lieutenant. Both of them were brave and fine ball players, but when the birds saw the Great Bear and

PUT NEW PUPIL IN BOYS EYE
One of Wonders of Modern Optical Surgery Recently Performed
 Many People Wear Glasses.

Every time you return from Europe you are more impressed by the inn mense number of Americans who wear eyeglasses. We are a nation of spec tacled people.
 I asked Dr. McCluney Radcliffe, who in the last few years has examined or operated upon 17,00O eyes at the Wills hospital, what single aff1iction is re- sponsible for most eyeglasses.
 "Farsightedness," was his reply.
 He told me also that the relative number of persons who wear eye. glasses is increasing. As matter of curiosity I subsequently, counted the spectacled men who were sitting in one large 'clubroom having lunch. There were 29 of them, while but 15 wore none.
 All kinds of surgical science is inn proving, but none more rapidly than that pertaining to the human eye. Not long ago Doctor Radcliffe put new pupil in the eye of a boy who had been suffering from an old injury.
 The longer time which children must now spend in school is believed to be one important reason for the very great number of young persons who wear eyeglasses. But oculists insist that while more people wear glasses, the average sight of all Americans is now better than ever.
 A similar thing is true of the human tooth. While far greater sum is now paid to dentists than formerly, the average tooth is much better than that of our forefathers. Both eyes and teeth used to be grossly neglected Philadelphia Ledger.

the Great Terrapin, they were not sure that they could defeat the animals.
 While they talked about what they could do to win, two little animals, no bigger than mice, came creeping up eagle. They told the eagle that they wanted to play on the side of the birds.
 But,' said the eagle, you have four feet; you belong with the animals! Then the little creatures that the ami mals had laughed at them for being so small and would not let them play; and the eagle took pity on the tiny fellows and said that he would let them play. But how about wings?
 They all studied about how to get wings for the two little mouse-like creatures. and then the hawk remem. bered that they had a drum which they used in the dance, and over the head of this drum was stretched the thin skin of a grounding. Why not cut piece of that skin and stretch it on cane splints in the shape of wings and fasten the wings to the forelegs of the little fellows?
 
 mouse-like creatures fitted with the wings cut from the head of the drum i; but then they found that they had used all the grounding skin they had. And to make the other little fellow ready to play, some of the strong birds pulled with their beaks at the skin between its forelegs and its hind legs until it was so stretched that the little fellow could sail right across from one tree to another.
 'The one with the wings, the birds called the bat, and the other was called the flying squirrel And when the ball game began, both the bat<and the flying squirrel helped to win for the birds. And among all the players the bat was best because he could dodge better than any of the rest "So, when you grow up to be ball player, you will know that you are good if you hear the people call you a bat!"

Then. all of a sudden, she suddenly ceases. an acute silence supervenes and the other does not know whether to break the pause or slip away. The fact is the queen talks well by, dint of concentration; this does not always last until the end of the conversation, and once the thread is broken she grows abstracted, thinking of some thing else.
