ANALYZING A HAIR.
Science Reads 1t as Expert Woodsmen
Read the Trees.

Read the Trees.
10 the German analyst hair is pack
ed with information. The approximate
age and physical condition can be con-
structed by an examination of single
hair.
The hair of every animal has certain
distinguishing characteristics. 1t is
not to be mistaken by competent in
vestigator Some animals, as for ex-
ample fhe COW, have three types Of
hair. These will be known by their
structure. Under a proper microscop-
ical examination hairs will be as easily
distinguished by an expert as varie-
ties of trees in grove will be distin-
guished by forester.
There was a case in which a dagger
found on the prisoner had few short
hairs caught entangled in a nick of
the blade. He explained this by say
ing that he had used the dagger to kill
a rabbit that he had found trapped in
hedge. The authorities reported to
the police, after an examination of the
dagger, that the hairs were not of hu-
man origin, but they also added they
were not rabbit hairs; they were
squirrel hairs.
The police were extremely puzzled
until they finally discovered that on
the night of the homicide the prisoner
had worn a great coat trimmed with
squirrel fur. He had, in fact, careful
ly washed the knife after the assassi-
nation and thereby removed every EVIL
dence of his act; but, unfortunately
for him, he made the mistake Of at
tempting to dry the dagger by wiping
it on the fur lining Of his great coat

INSECT MARVELS.

These TireIess Creatures Are Built For
the Strenuous Life.
Many interesting facts, the result of
long study, are given by Mr.. Harold
Basin, an eminent entomOlOgist, In
his book, insects, Their Life Histo-
ries and Habits"
Contrary to popular belief, spiders
are not insects. Insects have six legs,
neither more nor less, and another pc
culiarity of the insect is that 1t has
wings-sometimes two, more often
four. Spiders have eight legs and no
wings; therefore spiders are not in
SectS.
insects have no backbones and no
skeletons, but skins with hard, dura-
BILE surface called chitin, which makes
up a light shell of armor that forms
the outside of the body to the inside
of which the muscles are attached. In
sects do not breathe through their
mouths, but through holes in the bod
les called spiracles. Insects have mel
their veins nor arteries; the blood Is
pumped directly from the chambered
heart into the body cavity, where 1t
batheS and nourishes the organs. In
sects have wonderful and enviable di-
gestive organs and feed upon and di-
gest almost any substance from which
nourishment may be extracted.
Because of the way they are built,
insects are particularly fitted for the
strenuous life. and tired insect is
thing unknown. They are always busy
travelling, buzzing. biting or seeking
some work to do"
