LIGHT

A fIashlight, operated bv a small

invented in Boston. It's being adopt

the top-notch intellects went in

That's why real artists now are
scarce, and real statesmen scarcer.

Science

For the first time In history a head
has been taken from a living insect
and grated on to the body of another.
This interesting experiment was
done with water beetles and has been
performed several times. Three speci-
men were exhibited recently by H.
Graham Cannon to the Royal Society
at Burlington House, London. The
bodies of the beetles were of the spe-
Giles called hydrophilus. while the
heads were Of the species dytiscus.
Skin, bone and gland grating have
become common, but 1t was supposed
that grating a complete head, inolud-
ing the nervous system. was impos-
sible. The water beetles were chosen
for the experiments because they are
harder than many other insects and
because of their size the results are
more easily seen and studied.
Beetles are insects of the order OF
coleoptera, having four wings. One
of their pronounced peculiarities is the
fact that the outer pair OF rings is a
stiff case used for covering the other
wings when they are folded. There
are over $4,000 different kinds OF
beetles.
Platinum, now a most expensive
metal, was once 80 common IN the
Ura1 mountain regions of Russia that
pots and pans and even stove-pipes
were made from it and it was found In
the novels Of peasants.
In 1902 William H. Wollaston, an
English chemist, discovered how to
work 1t. The value of platinum in
creased and it soon disappeared as
kitchen utensil. Wollaston separated
two other rare elements from
platinum. These are called rhodium
and palladium. Platinum soon be-
came Of great value in electrical APP
planes. In fact, it became so valuable
that the price became prohibitive and
1t is now used chiefly for jewelry.
Wollaston was perhaps the greatest
scientist the world has known.

highest distinction that can be con-
ferred on a geolog1st-

The Doubt
By BERTON BRALEY


Time was when I was ready
For any old adventure;
When | was brash and heady,
Oblivious of censure.
But now, figure chances
Down to the smallest fraction,
weigh the circumstances
Before I get in action.
Time was I chased Illusion
And thought advice was needless,
And plunged into confusion
With eager youth and Needless;
But now, before I journey
In fantasy's dominion,
talk with my attorney
And ask for his opinionl
l once was most imprudent,
AS young men, I suppose, are;
But now / am a student
OF what the ICONS" and pros"
are.
And from lot of humping
I've gained some erudition,
I'm not so quick at jumping
AT each new proposition
I've learned to curb my hurry
And thus avoid a blunder,
And yet-and yet I worry
And cogitate, and wonder;
| wish some kind adviser
My load Of doubt would shoulder
Say, am I getting Wiser,
Or merely getting Older?
