Most of us are wont to think of the beheadment as 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 a serge gown. was small. nervous man who did his work so badly that il was not until the third stroke that hr decapitated one of the untortunates The assembled crowd yelled 'Murder!' and the miserable headsman was heard to remark.

STICK INSECTS.
They Sleep In the Daytime by Going
 Into Rinid Irance.

 Into a Rigid Trance.
 One of the most curious inhabitants of the insect world is what is known as the stick insect, about which Pro lessor 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 it has always been supposed that this was slumber. but Professor Schmidt says it is really a state of catalepsy. or trance. which the insect has developed as a means of protec ton against its enemies.
 When in one of these frances the in, sects will remain for hours in most abnormal positions-standing on their heads. flat on their backs or with their legs extended high in the air and the body arched in the form of q 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 lives.-Ex, change.
