And this noise is of different kind in differ ent animals, so it is produced in differ ent ways. Scarcely "any two insects make their music in the same manner. There is the little katydid. You all know the katydid, of course. It is in color a light green; its wings are gauzy and beautiful. Just where the wing of the katydid joins the body there is uuck nage, ana another ridge corre sponding to it on the wing. On these ridges is stretched a tvin but strong smn, wmcn makes a sort of drumhead. It is the rubbing together of these two ridges or drumheads which makes the queer noise we hear from the katydid. it. is ioua ana aisunci, one not very musical, and the next time we hear the sound "Katy did! Katy didn't!" you may know this katydid is rubbing the ridges oi ner body together and per haps enjoying doing it. The moment it is dark she and all her friends begin. Perhaps some of them rest sometimes. but if they do there are plenty more to take up the music. Then there is the bee. The bee's hum comes from under ita wings, too, but is produced in a different way. It is the air drawing in and out of the air tubes in the bee's quick flight which makes the humming. The faster a bee flies the ' juder he hums. Darting back and forth, he hums busily, because he can't help it, until presently he lights on a flower or even a fence, and all at once he is still again. Reaohed the Limit. 'Paper flowers are all right in their place," said a gentleman who boasts of the joys and comforts of married life, "but I'll be hanged if there isn't even a limit to paper flowers. My wife and daughter have the craze, and they have it bad. If I attempt to light the lamp invariably set fire to a tangle of honeysuckle. If I go to the library I am frightened to death lest I break one of the branches of morning glories that hang like cobwebs in front of the glass. If I attempt to sit down, stand up or walk, I am compelled to recon- noiter about and to indulge in all kinds of Fabian tactics before I can move. I did not object They enjoyed it and I was satisfied. But Sunday the limit was reached; then my regal anger was aroused. I have a small .conservatory which is the joy and pride of my life. One Sunday one of my business friends came up to see me, and 1 took him out to show him my flowers. That's where the trouble was. My wife and daughter had paper flowers in every nook and corner. Every plant in the place had a paper flower. That settled the mat ter. That night there was an extreme ly large bonfire in our yard." Cincin nati Tribune. INDUSTRY.

He concludes by saying that "the scientific men of to-dav who arc making investigations in bacteriology are as feverish as were the prospectors for gold in California half a centurv ago."
