Gorgeous Insects.

To gain, some idea Of the splendor
Of some Of the worlds moth and but
terflies n should glance over nearly
complete collections Of them from the
tropics as they occur in South Amer
lea, Asia, Africa and the great east
ern and western archipelago, with GER
tain parts Of Australia. Such collec-
lions are to be found In the United
States National museum In the re-
serve and duplicate series. There IS a
superb species that comes from Africa,
wherein the "tails" to the hinder pair
OF wings are over eight inches in
length. Then we have the gorgeous
Atlas moth Of the East Indies that
measures a foot across from tip to tip
Of Its upper wings.

pain Potnts.0

On every human body there are
four million pain points" connected
by nerves with the brain. They arc,
OF course, distributed very ~unevenly.
They are placed close together at tho
tips Of the fingers and are furthest
apart In the back. anyone can test
this for himself. II you will place
two needles one quarter of an inch
apart by sticking them into a piece of
cardboard you will have a very effect
I've instrument for making tests. Put
your finger on these two points and
you will. Of course, feel both Of them.
Now apply them to the small of your
back and you will feel but one point.
IN other words, the nerve centers IN
your back at this point are more than
2 quarter of an inch apart.-Boys'

MomentouS events n abnormal

Often they attract little attention at

The first event Of the kind to be re
corded was when Adam and Eve were
in the Garden of Eden, the only rep
~resentatives Of the human race.
Adam pIucked the forbidden apple
from the tree, and from that time
mankind has been prone to take that
which does not belong to him.
Many centuries ago a man was on
trial charged with a serious crime.
Knowing his guilt, a crooked lawyer
conceived the idea Of bribing witnesses
to swear that he was in another place
when the crime was committed.
Since then fictitious alibis have op-
ened jail doors and freed guilty crimi-
nails until today 1t is becoming almost
impossible to convict one who has the
backing or Rangland.

and dumped a cargo Of tea into Boston

From that little incident there has
sprung into existance the greatest ma
tion the sun shines on today.
An insignificant individual in Serv-
la threw a bomb that extinguished
the career Of In Austrian archduke.
That he paid the penalty of his
crime with his life was not sufficient.
His act was the torch which set ablaze
a fire Of passions that came near to
consuming the world. Neither the
