Eccentric Paving.

1t Is related that when Macmillan
Emanuel succeeded to the throne Of
Bavaria he celebrated the event by
causing one of the roads leading to his
palace to be paved with plates Of bur
nished copper. This, cleaning In the
sunshine, gave all the effect Of the
more precious metal-gold.
We are told also that Louis XIV.
paved one Of the courts at Versailles
with squares of silver, each Of which
had recorded upon it some triumph of
the French arms. In the center Of the
court stood a large tablet Of gold In
representation Of the luxurious mon
arch's favorite emblem-the sun.
Memoirs of the time of Louis make
mention of a lodge erected to the love
Of his youth, the fair Louise de la Val
Here. The approach was paved with
mirrors, wherein was painted an allie
CORY setting forth the undying devo.
ton Of the king to Louise.

Insect Sits on It's Eggs.

Family matters in the case Of insects
usually mean only the depositing of
eggs in suitable situations for the in
dependent development Of the off
spring, the parent insects often dying
before the young appear. The earwig,
however, provides a remarkable excep-
ton to the general rule, for it sits upon
its fifty or more eggs until they are
Matched, just as bird would do, and,
moreover, if the eggs get scattered it
carefully collects them together again.
In the early months Of the year, when
digging the soil, female earwigs may
frequently be found together with their
batch Of eggs. At the slightest sign
Of danger the young ones huddle close
to their mother, hiding beneath her
body so far as it will cover SO large a
