DUT get the rhapsody direct
ID from the Paris Matin it,
self:
"Finkler took a series OF in
sects-butterflies and caterpil-
lars-and with fine scissors cut
their heads off. He then imme-
diately grated these heads on
different bodies than those to
which they had originally be-
longed.
After a few weeks the in
sects operated on began TO re-
cover. but, to the intense sur
prise of the professor, the newly
formed insects began in every
case to assume the characters
tics Of the heads which had
been grated on them.
Bodies lost their original
color and took the color of the
insect whose head they were
wearing.
"A female insect on which a
male had been grated became
a male.
Not only dld the professor
succeed in changing the heads
Of insects and larvae OF the
same species. but he grated
the heads of one species on an
other. an operation hitherto con-
sidered impossible.

BY S. E. Kiser-

THERE'S little in this world that's right;
See what an effort truth requires;
Men who will tell you black is white
Need little practice to be liars;
The things we like to do are bad,
The things we ought to do are dreaded;
So often those who love grow sad
And sorry after they are welded.
THE choicest fruits are sure to grow
In places where it's hard to reach them !;
The things our children should not know
There's never any need to teach them;
The things we do not want are cheap.
The others always cost us dearly;
The secrets that we wish to keep
Are read in all our actions clearly.
MOT this, but some place far away
AZ Is sure to seem the most delightful;
When you have helped friend you may
Expect him to be turning spiteful;
II dogs could benefit mankind
BY running here and there and biting
I'll wager that you couldn't find
A dog loose at the present writing.
A CALM upon the landscape lies
q When we would like to have it breezy;
It's hard for people to be wise,
But foolishness is always easy;
The man who lives far from the shore
Would like to live beside the water;
The son whom you are waiting for
Is almost sure to be daughter.
