Insect» Rank Among Wonders of Nature In«e<-t» are wonderfully constructed creature«. Any part of their structure ia truly remarkable. Consider the eyes, for Instance. These are of two kinds, namely simple eyes and com pound eyes. The former are like “small polished lenses.” The latter are divided Into minute areas, or facets. Folsom says that these facets are not necessarily equal in sire, for In drayon flies the dorsal facets are frequently larger than the ventral. Their number Is often enormous. The common house fly has <,000 facets to each eye; the swallow-tail butterfly may have is many as 17.000. The beetle o f the genus Mordella has 25, 000, and a hawk or sphlngld night fly ing moth 27,000. In most species of two-winged flies, In the wasp like four- winged flies, and In other kinds of Insects, the eyes of the male are larger and closer together than those of the female. The difference Is at tributed to the fact that the male is more active than the female, especial ly In the matter of seeking out the opposite sex. The maggots or flies which live In darkness hare no eyes. N o P artner o f th e D evil One time Servals Le Roy, the Illu sionist, was playing In Milwaukee. He ran out o f rabbits— a serious situ ation for any magician. Le Roy found that an old German who lived outside of the city raised rabbits. He Immediately went to the farm. The rabbits were there— plenty of them— and the required number was soon bought and puld for. Le Roy was so pleased that he pulled out a pad of his personal pusses nnd wrote out one for the farmer and his wife. The Ger man took one look at the pass and his eye fell upon a picture of a devil that adorned the slip of paper. Then he seized the rabbits and threw the money back In Le Roy's hands. He would have nothing to do with any transaction In which the devil was concerned.—Howard Thurston In Col lier's. D octors’ H ea rt D e tectiv e An experimental model of the first portable electro-cardiograph, used In studying the electric currents o f the heart, has recently been demonstrated. The cardiograph Itself Is not a new device, but never before has there been an Instrument which Is portable, nor one commercially developed In which vacuum tubes are used for am pllfylng the heart voltages. Records of a patient's heart may be obtained now at the doctor's sur gery or In the patient's home. A doc tor can easily learn to operate the portable device after a few demon strations. says a writer In English Mechanics, and It la expected that the apparatus will be producible at a coat and In quantities that will penult of Its wide use throughout the medical profession. Cities That May Be Been In tbe City of Brotherly L o t s they dream large dreams of progress; witness this from the Philadelphia •while t w t w The A n insti tute sf Steel Construction projects the «tty ef 2000 A. D. as having buildings 100 stories high, with landing stages tar aircraft and traffic at two or three levels. The project la feasible and reasonable, not remotely Utoplim. It has little In common with tbe prophet ic fantasies of mere literature, for It Is the consensus of men whose every day concern Is with structural mate rial and grimly utilitarian building prehtoms. The dally experience of pedestrians and motorists In every large city will support the view that eae street lovel—except where there are boulevards excepttoaally wide— Is laarsasfngly Inadequate to modern metropolitan purposes. There Is a harassing and Incessant problem not ■ ssely la rapid transit for vehicles, bat hi what used to be the safe and staple process of walking across s street from curb to curb.
