Solomon as Naturalist.

There is an odd reluctance upon the part of many people to go to the ant, the water-bug, the beetle and oth- CT 'invertebrate" or backboneless creat.res, to consider their ways and be wise. Solomon was learned nat uralist of his day and perhaps the first animal behaviorist of all time.
 Not alone ants and bees taught him much, but all insects, beasts of the field and birds of the air contributed to his wisdom. If Solomon were alive today, he would more than glory in the domain of experimental research into the behavior of the lower crea- tures He would no doubt write down-to-date volume of proverbs founded upon the learning abilities, the memory and the behavior in gen eral of 1eas, lice, flies, gnats and other insects.

NaIIIe If Old Coins

In the public mind coin more than 50 years old is hoary with age and so ra~re as to be almost priceless, but silver dollar of 1795 is actually worth no more than g to dealers, and then only if it is in an excellent state of preservation, for great many of them were coined A half dollar of 1903 is worth as much as 15 cents more than it's face value, but collec- tors and dealers find that there are so many of them in circulation that there is no profit in buying and selling them. In fact, person might have a hundred United States coins of diff ferent denominations and dates, no two alike, but all more than 100 years old, which would be worth to a dealer not over $10 above their face value.

nenc or sun worship.

That the ancient practice of embalm- ing the dead is a religious rite con nected with sun worship is the theory advanced by Prof J. Elliot Smith in a study of the migrations of peoples. published in the Memoirs and Proceed ings of the Manchester (England) Philosophical society, theory that the editor of the Lancet says Pro- lessor Smith appears to have proved beyond dispute.
 Professor Smith has traced the prac- tice of mummifying into the remotest corners of the earth. In a hot, dry country like Egypt it was easy to pre- serve body, but in hot, damp climates it was, in the words of the Lancet, "a very beastly and never very success ful business" that could have persist ed only as religious rite. It prob ably had it's origin in Egypt and was spread throughout the world by early missionaries.

Memories of Insects.

Euglenae and practically all micro scopic animalculae, even of the most simple nature, have been found to have association of ideas, or, better, associative memory. That is to say by rewards of food and punishment of one sort or another, they learn definite performances. In brief. they associate the act with the conse- quences. Bedbugs and eockroaehes, no less than feas and plant lice, have been actually trained to obey the whip. Professors Szymanski. Holmes, Bone, Brundin and Mast are but a few of those zoologists who have studied the learning process" and behavior of such insects.

NO CONTROVERSY
 WITH THE JUDGES
Tax Officials Can't Understand
 Probate Criticism
ALL BUT TWO IN ACCORD
Those Differ Only in Interpreting Inheritance Law Tax Regarding Direct Heirs and Next
 of Estate.
Special Hartford Correspondence)


 Special Hartford Correspondence.)
 Hartford The criticism of the tax commissioners office. in the issuing of circulars of instructions 70 judges of probate. nude at the meeting Of the probate assembly in this city. was the subject of much conversation st the capitol. In the tax department there was difficulty in understanding the object of the critics and to what they particularly referred. It was said there has been no controversy be- tween the department and any judge of probate in the state, and that. so far as the officials knew, there was not likely to be a dispute over anything.
 Under the law passed at the last session matters relating to taxation in connection with estates in the pro bate court are now within the Jurls- diction of the tax commissioner. For merly they were taken care of by the state treasurer. The change in jurls- diction was made by the legislature in spite of strong opposition of citizens and OUGiatS, WnO let1 tidt liO NoAN should continue to be done by the treasurer.
 The change in jurisdiction was the result of efforts first made a number of sessions ago, and renewed at every session afterwards until 1915, when a general assembly more sympathetic with the efforts took action on the matter.
 All but two judges of probate in the state have accepted the state treasurer's interpretation of the law, passed at the session of 1913, relative to the inheritance tax. The two judges who dissent are Judge Hub bard of Litchfield and Judge Gregory of Norwalk. The particular point Tn dispute relates to the exemption al lowed on the inheritance of direct heirs. The inheritance tax on prop erty valued at s500.00o and going to direct heir, say son, would, ac- cording to the interpretation Of the treasurer's office be S10,S50. and, ae- cording to the two dissenting judges to S10950

CELEBRATE DAY OF LIBERTY
festivities of Swiss Cartons to Which All Visitors to the Country Are
 Attracted.

August 1 is the day when the liberty at The Swiss cantons is celebrated. At Geneva one of the fayorite forms of oalebration is to throw cclored lights on the great fountain of jet d'eau" ,bat rises out of the lake. Every color of the rainbow plays over the tower ing column of white spray, washing it n this shining rainbow dress. At nigbt the water seems to float in the air like a many-colored banner. This iet eau or jet of water is acknowl- edged to be the highest fountain in the world. At the place where the waters of Lake Geneva narrow into tbe barbor. readyto flow into the River Rhone. a small breakwater has been bufIt. Beside it a great water main with a nozzle six inches in diameter IS suspended. with the end turned in such a way as to throw the water high in the air. This is done by what is termed gravity pressure" and the mighty current seems trying to rise AS high as the great storage reservoir where it has it's source, in the hills east of Geneva.
 Tourists and townsfolk walk out on the breakwater to stand beside the fountain and wonder at it's mighty roar and it's great column of water. When the wind takes the t.p of the fountain the spray is scattered in some new direction, so that visit to the fountain, perhaps in small boat, may mean a wetting. The water falls into the lake with steady pattering sOTnd

Parachute For Bombs.

Self-propelled bombs provided with parachutes are the latest war inven- tion. The bombs are timed so as to explode when they reach the trenches of the enemy. These bombs were in- vented by the Austrians and are being used extensively by their ayiators. The Allies have traif-ed sharpshooters to combat this dangerous device. These men aim to hit the bombs in lmid-air, thus causing them to explode prematurely and harmlessly. World s Advance.
