Their "Foot-Notes."
Copyright. 1921

TRICKETs sing with their wings
and not with their legs And
katydids do the same. You do not
believe it? Since you were little
child you have been told that crick-
cts made their shrill and chirping
sounds by clubbing their hind legs
together OF scraping their legs
against their wings or sides, or
something like that. At. any rate.
they made what might be called
foot notes or sang by leg power.
Insect students have. settled the
question. They say that crickets. like
nearly all other varieties Of singing
insects. have, "stringulating organs"
these organs together. they produce
vibrations and the wings, which are
hollow, serve as sounding boards and
increase the volume of the sound. The
"stringulating organs" look like two
small folded wings having saw-like
edges. The insect rasps these two
saw edges together.
The matter was settled by q cam
era. It was not easy for the photog-
rapher to obtain a sitting" from a
cricket and to catch him or her in

scientist with the camera posed a
little cricket in the light where the
camera was focused on him. Then he
set OF an instrumtnt which made, a
noise so much like a cricket that the
cricket thought 1t was one. Whether
the cricket thought he was being
serenaded or challenged or Knocked by
another of his kind does not matter.
The cricket answered with his well
known song and the shutter opened
and closed before the lens quicker
than the>vink of an eye and the Sc
cret Of the cricket was read on the
sensitixed plate when. 1t was devel-
oped.
That is how it came, to be known
that the cricket does not sing by
scraping his legs together, or by
scraping his wings together. but by
rasping those special instruments

Kitchener would say. ITS impossible"
and close his lips firmly. At this
point Lloyd George would attack him.
this proposal in swift and persuasive
phrases Lord Kitchener shifting on
his chair, would repeat, TITS i'm
possible" Then in question after
question Mr.. Churchill would ask
why it was impossible. IT'S impossi-
ble," Lord Kitchener would humble
at the end of these questions Finally.
when nearly everybody had attempted
to extract from him the reason for
his refusal to countenance this pro-
posal, he would make an impatient
side movement of hiS head. unfold his
arms. bend over the papers on a table
with a boyish smile OF relief. 'Oh. all
right, have 1t your own way"
He lacked almost every grace of
the spirit There was nothing amiable
in his character, Very few men liked
him a great deal, and none. should
say, loved him. do not think he
was brutal by nature. although his
nature was not refined; but he culti-
waited a brutal manner. He had the
happiness of three or four friendships
with cultivated and good women. but
the beautiful crea ture whom he loved
hungrily and ,doggedly. and to whom
he proposed several times could never
bring herself to marry him.

in his character, no sanctuaries for
the finer intimacies of human life.
AS Sainte-Beauve said of Rousseau,
HE has at times little goitre in his
voice" One sees the fullness of his
Limitations by comparing him with
such great figures of Indian history
as the Lawrence and Nicholson; in
that comparison he .shrinks at once
to the dimensions of a color sergeant.
But in attempting to study a man
of this nature. for our own learning,
we should rather observe how notable
a victory he achieved in making so
much of SO little, rather than ;vocif-
crate that he was not this thing or
that.
He began life with no gifts from
the gods: it was not in his horoscope
to be either a saint or hero. no one
was less likely to create enthusiasm
or to become legend; and yet by
resolutely following the road of duty,
by earnestly and stubbornly striving
to serve his country's interests. and
by never for one moment considering
life or the making of his own for
tune, this rough and ordinary man. bred
in himself a greatness which. mag

Of its long history.
One could wish that behind this
formidable greatness of personality
there had been greatness of mind.
greatness of character. greatness of

capable of directing the whole war
and holding the politicians in leash
to the conclusion of a righteous
peace But these things he lacked,
and the end was what it was
Character" said Epicharmus. "is
destiny to man." Lord Kitchener, let
us assert, was faithful to his destiny.
And he was something more than
faithful, for he .sanctified this loyal
ty to his own character by a devo-
ton to his country which was pure
and incorruptib1e. Certainly he can
never be styled THE son OF Cronos

|THAT every child has the right
to be we'll born: that every
nation has the right to hold a
population steadily improving
in the sources Of its origin; that 1t Is
the duty of this generation to strive
toward the elimination of the grossly
defective, physically and mentally.
may be said to have been, speaking
very generally, the message Of the
Congress Of Eugenics. recently in ses-
sion in New York. with delegates
present from the worlds capitals Of
thought.
Most distinguished Of these, un-
doubtedly. was Maj. Leonard Darwin.
son of Charles Darwin, creator Of the
theory Of evolution and author Of the
famous book. "The Origin Of Species"
1t, has been my privilege to talk to
Maj. Darwin and. having done So. I
am forced to the conclusion that he
feels the world is now in danger Of a
backward slip-a pause in the great
progress which his father pointed out
had raised humanity above the beasts.
But" said Maj. Darwin. "all this
backward tendency may be very
quickly and effectively checked. Now
is the opportunity for an awakening
Of the public mind. and an awakened
public mind can utterly reverse the
tendency.
THAT must become a steady aim of
every thinking person. If all think
ing persons become firm in this de-
termination the unthinking eventual
ly must be forced to travel by the
road to new competence.
ttTwO sentiments demand this Of
= the thoughtful" the distin-
guished Englishman continued. "One
is that Of patriotism. which demands
a noble nation. The other Is the love
Of children, which is inmate in every
rightly beating human heart. The
love Of children must result, when
developed in the thoughtful mind. in
the resolve that in future generations
children shall be happier than they
are now.
IA happier childhood for the mass
can be accomplished only through
general Improvement of conditions
combined with better birth.
And this?' .
More careful marriage. certainly
would be the first step in the right
direction.
"Consider what else that would
mean-all tending, though. toward
the same end.
divorce surely is in almost every
instance the result of careless mar
riage. 1t is at present the scandal of
the two great AnElo-Saxon nations,
Great Britain and the United States.
"A nation thinking of eugenics
would regulate its marriage system
SO that careless marriages would be
avoided. Such unions are eugenic-
ally disastrous, for they prevent the

and tell you that much of the sue
cess of the Chautauqua in Newbury
is due to Mrs Darling, the Chautau-

credit of the coming of the Chau-
tauqua, and inviting and pledging
for it's coming next year.
