Insects That Walk on Water

Insects that walk on the water bv
means of pneumatic floats are the
familiar spider and the pond skater.
The pond skater really walks on
pneumatic floats. There are tiny hairs
on the feet of this insect, SO fine that
they cannot be seen, that are arranged
to collect air. The amount collected
In and about these hairs Is sufficient
to allow the insects to walk or float
on the surface of the water. AS each
foot is put down 1t forms q cupllke de-
preston, or tiny pit, In the water. The
foot does not sink, because the air
bubble that has been formed is too
light to let it. A fine covering OF hair
protects the water spider, too. and even
If 1t is submerged in the water II is
never really wet; the hair keeps a lay
er OF air between its body and the
water. 1t looks like a white uearl
when below the surface.

WHALE BLAMED FOR DISEASE
Thus Diagnosed by Prominent
Danish Scientist.

The echinococcus disease (caused by
small tapeworm in the liver or
lungs), which first made It's appear

DENSE to be due originally to whales.
The Medical Record quotes from
Dutch scientific paper some Of the
facts upon which Van DENSE bases
this theory.
at is said that this affection is en-
demic In Iceland and that 1t eventual
ly reached Friesland from that locality.
Not only Friesland was attacked In
the eighteenth century, but many other
seaports along the North sea and Eng
fish channel. The connecting link APP
peared to be the whale fisheries, orig
inally Basque industry, with head
quarters at Bordeaux. In the seven

All That ls Left Of the Mastoden.

An early find of mastodon bones
from Shawangunk, Ulster county, New
York. was presented to the University
Of Virginia by Thomas Jefferson,
third president Of the United States,
who, like Theodore Roosevelt, twenty
sixth president, was an enthusiastic
naturalist. 1t is noted by natural his
tory that after the great transeontinen-
tai glacier receded large marshes were
left in the region where these bones
were unearthed. and in them these an
imals frequently became mired. Both
Ulster and Orange counties have been
prolific in mastodon remains. The
Warren mastodon, dug up near New
burg in 1915, and now in the American
museum, is the most perfect skeleton
so far found. Bones are frequently
turned up by farmers, and the speci-
mems have even included hair long.
dense and shaggy, and Of dark golden
brown color.

1t was "a pretty cake with ltiasy
pumpkins on it too, and the witch and
her broom bore the same, typical fruit,
this being the work of Mrs. Ulrich,
who, indeed was the fairy godmother
of the pumpkin affair and who is to
be thanked for the whole party.
The real refreshments consisted OF

TRACED DESCENT OF HORSE

Researches in the Marshes

Horses of the miocene tertiary times,
and during the pliocene age, when
came later. roamed around the marshes
of Oregon, according to Professor Con-
don of the University Of Oregon. A.
letter which the professor wrote a
woman In Nashville, Ore, thirty years
ago, has been discovered, in which he
referred to some of his own specimens
of the early horse.
There were in Oregon three or four
species of the small horse" the pro-
fessor wrote. ~ have fragments OF
many individuals of several of these
species. The one of which have the
most complete skeleton was about two
feet high. He lived during the miocene
tertiary times.
"My fossils would not warrant me
in speaking of more than three hoofs
on each foot; the center one on each
foot being large and the other ones
small. Each fetlock bone furnished
him with what was an external hoof.
Belonging to later period, the plio-
Gene, have other horse remains. The
older classification gives the name Hip
parton to the pliocene horse. The side
hoofs Of this animal were still extern
