took the precaution Of holding a re-

Il ls the Controlling Force In About
Every Human Effort.
We cannot escape from the fact that
sex attraction Is the great event In hui
man life. Sex IL the controlling force
IN nearly all Of human efforts. War

form Of the sex h.atlnct. Neither lit
erature nor art would exist In any ap-
probable degree without sex. Men

for the love Of woman.
In only one heid Of human activity
Is there no faint OF sex feeling. and
that Is science. Science Is cold and
dlspassionate. 1t has Imagination. but
the Imagination Of the explorer and
not the love-. Science has only one
aim and end-the discovery OF truth.
Science Is another world from the hot
earth Of economic and military compe-
tltion, which have for their ends the
attainment Of love and marriage.
Through science mankind will grad

THE HOLY GRAIL.
Story Of the Green Crystal Vase Of the
Ruins Of Cesaroa.

Ruins Of CssaTea.
Few places are more Absolutely Cit
les OF the past than Cesaree. Some
one has spoken Of tho remains of its
ancient glory as the ruin OF ruins. "
The medieval town which was twice
rebuilt by the crusaders covered
scarcely a tenth OF the area occupied
by the city as st. Paul knew It. and
the ruins that we see today are chief
ly the relics of the medieval city,
which was itself built ont OF the ruins
OF the ancient city.
What u rich quarry Cesarea has been

fact that. though 1t has been drawn

crusader, captured the city at the be-
ginning OF the twelfth century. says
the Christian Herald, gave rise TO tho
story Of the Holy Grail. which has In
spired so many legends and poems,

Precautions In oldsn Days Whom an

AN INSECT MARVEL.
Curious and Complex Is the Tongue Of
the Butterfly

Curious and Complex Is the Tongue of
the Butterfly.
OF all the murvels in which the
world Of insect life is 30 rich none Is
more curious and remarkable than the
tongue of the butterfly.
This is always of great length.
When not In use it Is cooled like
watch spring in fat spiral close to
the he'd. But whom the butterfly WIS.,
its the lower on which it feeds the
tongue is uncoiled. the tip inserted
deep In the heart of the flower and the
juices sucked up.
The butterhys tongue really consists
Of two tubes. Each Of these has a
concave inner face, whose edges In
terl0ck one with the other, so as to
form n third or central tube.
In butterflies we have the highest
development of the insect race, SO far
as beauty is concerned. In other re-
spects. however. they do not hold 50
high u place They are outranked in
intelligence by ants. bees and wasps
and In perfection Of external parts and
mechanical excellence OF the joints by
beetles.
The colors and patterns on the wings
which make butterflies so beautiful are
due to the arrangements Of innumera-
Bile scales that can be distinguished
only with a powerful microscope. In
some cases these scales are themselves
colored. but often the effect OF color is
only optical due to the reflection Of
light from the delicate ridges on each
scale.-New York American.
