TIRELEss INSECTS
Built For the Strenuous Life. They Are
Never Weary.

In Insects, Their Life Histories and
Habits Harold Basin, the entomolo-
giSt, says thar, contrary to popular be-
lief, spiders are not Insects. Insects
have six legs, neither more nor less.
and another peculiarly of the insect
is that it has wings. sometimes two.
more often four Spiders have eight
legs ana no wings; therefore spiders
are not insects.
Insects have no backbones and no
skeletons, says Mr.. Basin, but skins
with hard, durable surface called
chitin. which makes up light shell of
armor that forms the outside Of the
body. to the inside of which the mus
cleS are attached.
Insects do not breathe through their
mouths, but through holes in their
bodies. called Spiracles. Insects have
neither veins nor arteries. The blood
is pumped directly from the chambered
heart into the body cavity, where it
battles and nourishes the organs. In
sects have wonderful ana enyiable di-
gestive organs and feed upon and di-
gest almost any substance from which
nourishment may be extracted.

HISIUKiC EKGNNER PASS.

the rugged Alpine dcfenses against the

the dying cries of warriors and clash

the passage OF many armies through
more than 1000 years Of restless his

Innsbruck, the Tyrolean capital, is ct
the northern terminus of this way.
while Botzen. the largely LatiniZed me-

PoLITENEss IN CHINA.
Il Takes Peculiar Form at Times,
Particularly at Dinner.

FdTtlCulaIly at IifIIlcT'
4 Chinaman prides himself on his
poIitencss more than on anything else.
So when he meets you he shakes his
own hand. When he goes TO leape.you
he folds his hands across his breast
and makes three bows.
Some places in China it is considered
polite, when you are invited to a
friends house, to throw the chicken
bones on the floor. AS you are having
dinner and chatting about the rice crop
it is proper form. when you get through
with drumstick, to toss it on the
floor and go on with the conversation.
The host takes this as a compliment
for it shows that you know that he has
servants enough to clean the things off
the floor. If you put the bones on the
plate it reflects on the number of serv
ANTS that lie can afford to keep. -. :.
If you leave n dollar on your dress
ing table your room boy wouldn't steal
it for anything; he would lose face If
he did, but when your back is turned
he will exchange it for a counterfeit.
He can do this and still keep his face.
II you Miss something about your room
and know positively that your boy stole
it and accuse him he will deny 1t as
long as he has breath. Under slow
fire and salt he would still deny that
he had taken it; to admit that he had
stolen your knife would be to lose face
But after accusing him, if you will
let it go for a day or two the Knife will
mysteriously return, or you will find it
under. a handkerchief on your dresser
You know that he has returned ii, and
he knows that you know, but his face
has been saved, and as result he is
light hearted and happy. Homer Croy

THE PROBLEM Of CAPITAL

Obstacle to Sc Overcome-Most Di-
rect Method of Assessing Property
Owners Has Distinct Advantages.
The first cost Of the replanning of n
city is the principal obstacle which has
to be overcome, says Frank Rooster,
author of city Planning and Mantle
nance" Although there can be no ques-
ton of its ultimate worth and almost
ipcalculable value to the city. yet the
problem of securing the necessary cap
ital and the proper distribution of the
burdens and the benefits TO be derived
requires careful financing.
While cities like Paris, London and
Berlin have spent hundreds of mil
lions of dollars on improvements. they
are only able to do it at the cost of
considerable additional burdens TO the
taxpayers, which in smaller cities,
though proportionateiy less. would still
be ,insupportable. e n
The principal methods adopted are
those of assessments, gradually de-
creasing in extent with the distance Of

Ivy the city for long period until a
favorable opportunity arises for its sale.
Excess condemnation is highly de-
sirable for sites of schools, parks and
tho li.c which are III contemplation,
as the city may hold the land over Il
long term of years in advance OF its
utilization and be saved the high cost
of sites whose purchase is delayed I'M
til the city is built up. Excess con-
demnation. however. as means of
paying for the cost of improv ements is
open To serious objections. The en-
hanccment in real estate values after
the improvements are made is seldom
more than half the cost of the improve
ment, besides which there Is the inter-
{ est on the bonds and the loss of taxes
that would have been paid by private
owners on the land so condemned. -
The most direct method of assessing
: the property owners offers advantages
over the,eXcess condemnation system
particularly when all the property
benefited Is assessed, even though il
Is at considerable distance from the
location of the improvement itself As
the purpose of excess condemnation is
simply to enable the city to reimburse
itself for the cost of the improvement
by the benefits derived therefrom. as
sessment proves to be method for
large improvements. just as equitable
and effective since those benefited pay
the sum directly TO the city, instead of
having to sell their property to the city
and then perhaps buy it back again.
Direct assessment. however, is open
to many serious objections. for the
amounts must be arbitrarily fixed ana
may ana may not prove fair. Further
the property owners must obtain the
capital Immediately and the amount is
thus withdrawn at once instead Of be-
ing distributed over term of years
as in the sale of bonds.
Experience is necessary in assessing
property, since the property owners are
entitled to have the burden equitably
adjusted and to know in advance what
they will have to pays The assessments
should not decrease in direct proper
ton to the distance fnom the improve
ment but in Il more sharply decreasing
ratio, the most equitable rate for which
should be obtained and applied by
those who are called upon to make
assessments
