Caterpillar Sense.

Can caterpillars think? II caterpil-
lars cannot actually>do so, il appears
that they have a degree of sense not
generally recognized. In a London
institution lecture some time ago
Frederick Enock, who has been study
ing the insects for half a century,
showed that they really seem to be
conscious of their marking and colora-
ton and are able to use the knowledge
in protecting themselves from the
birds, their natural enemies. A pic
ture Of a geranium branch thrown on
the screen apparently represented only
a mass OF dead twigs, yet there were
included eight caterpillars, looking al
most exactly like the twigs. An even
more remarkable exercise Of protective
foresight may be seen when the cater
pillar spins its cocoon on leaf and
evidently becomes aware that the leaf
may become detached and that its fall
may be fatal to the chrysalis. To pre-
vent this catastrophe the caterpillar
fastens the base OF the leaf to the stem
by siken threads. This strengthen
ing Of leaves has been noticed many
times and is striking evidence that
the little thread spinner must realize
the danger from a fall.

Experience Tells

The other day a travelling
salesman tried to sell me a new
Talking Machine. He claimed to
have the best machine on the mar
ket, and he did have a good one.
| told him that if he could beat the
Brunswick | would take on his
Agency.
We tried out various high-cl'ss
records, first on his machine then
on the BrunSwick-Records made
by Caruso, Galli-Curci, Alma
Gluck, and others Neither OF us
could detect any difference until
we tried out a Piano Record. Then
he acknowledged that ] had him
beaten.
always knew that the Bruns-
wick was a good machine, but
did not know how really good it
was until we made this very exact
ing test.
say now, and unreservedly, to
any man or woman who is con-
templating buying Talking Ma
chine, that they are making a mis-
tate If they buy before trying out
the Brunswick.
II may not be as loud as some
other machine, still no one wants
a brass band in the average sized
room; but if you have ear Tor tone,
if you want perfect reproduction.
the Brunswick will certainly be
your choice.
II gets its marvellous sweetness
of tone from The fact that the sound
amplifier is entirely made OF wood,
and everyone knows that there has
never been any question o! the
fact that wood is the only sub
Stance that will properly care Tor
the vibration caused by all musical
instruments. Its reproduction OF

thorough demonstration OF The
