The eggs of the glowworm are
luminous, and it is the same way
with the firefly of tropical America.
The larva of the firefly carries with
it at birth the torch transmitted to
the egg by its ancestors. Indeed it
has several-lights, one on eaoh seg
ment of Its body. These luminous
spots may be lighted and extinguish
ed successively, like the gas burners
of a stairway swept by the wind,
and it it is a very curious spectacle
to see two of the larvte struggling
together and twisting about while
emitting flashes of light. Imagine
what the effect would be if the com
batants were as large as pythons!
In the adult state the firefly has
three lanterns—two on the back and
one on the belly. When the belly
lantern, which is the brightest of
the three, has been carefully sepa
rated from the body, dried and pul
verized, it still gives out light when
a drop of water is let fall upon the
powder. This is only pne of many
interesting experiments made by
Dr. Dubois. He has succeeded iu
making photographs by the firefly
light, using very sensitive plates.—

FUN AS A MEDICINE.
Light Hearted Mockery Often Better Than
Severe Reproof.
One of the provorbs in the book
of Proverbs says that "a merry
heart doeth good like medicine,"
and it might safely bo said that it
very often does a great deal more.
We appear to be coining back to the
same opinion by way of reaction
from the grave and sententious
moralities of our great-grandmoth
ers. A very clever little book of
rhymes and pictures professes to be
"The Bad Child's Book of Beasts,"
and comes nearer to Lear's wonder
ful nonsense pictures and verses
than anything we have seen since,
though it is not quite so gleefully
extravagant and the humor is of a
rather different kind.
But the idea of the book is evi
dently that a "so called" bad child
needs nothing but a little fur to
make him "unnaturally good"—
which means, we take it, that the
bad child and the good child are de
viations from the happy mean to
much the same extent, and that the
bad child needs laughing into the
happy mean as much as the good
child needs laughing out of that se
vere and priggish moderation which
used to be held up to the earlier
generations of this century as a
model for their initiation in such
books as "Sandford and Merton.
When the writer _of the book of
Proverbs or the writer of the spe
cial problem which he placed in his
seleotion spoke of a merry heart
doing good like a medicine, he prob
ably thought of the emancipation
which such a heart gains from the
misery of being self occupied—the
power it gains of looking out on the
world with a lightness of spirit all
its own. And that is, indeed, the
sense in which fun may be said to
be the best of all medicines. To
learn to laugh at the foibles of oth
ers is harmless and even useful
enough if you do not laugh at them
ill naturedly, but to learn to laugh
at'your own is a close
approximation
to wisdom, if you laugh at them
with true insight into the ridiculous
side of those foibles. Of course fun
is no medicine for the graver sins
and moral distortions of human
life, for these are not subjects for
laughter, but rather for tears. But
there are many imperfections for
whioh light hearted mockery is a
far more effectual medicine than
any kind of moral scorn or reproof.

You cannot learn how foolish it is
to play with edged tools half as well
from being worried to think it
wrong as you can from being shown
that it is in the
lightest degree ridio
ulous.
And you cannot learn that it is
absurd and pedantio to believe in
your own wisdom in any way half
so effectivo as you can from catch
ing yourself out ns it were in that
affectation of superior discretion
which only gives you the air of
blinking and solemn emptiness that
the owl embodies in the rolling of
his darkness loving eyes. Books of
nonsense are the best cures in the
world for that laughter of fools
which is like tho crackling of thorns
under a pot and for that childish
assumption of virtue and sagacity
which BO completely fails in conceal
ing the vanity from which it pro
ceeds. To endow the heart with a
good reserve of innocent fun is one
of the surest of preservatives against
real evil.
The child, or indood the man, who
can laugh hoartily and without
bitterness—bitter laughter is not the
laughter of the heart—is very soon
aware of the approach of any condi
tion of mind which involves feel
ings inconsistent with that hearty
laughter and is put on his guard
by the sense of self reproach with
which those lighter moods affect
him and make liim feel that he
has no right to them. That, we sus

oertalnly purges the spirit of all
those foibles which are very often
the cloaks of insincerity. The child
who imagines himself spirited be
cause he delights in provoking th»
creatures beneath him and in play
ing practical jokes on the compan
ions around him is better cured of
hiB delusion by being shown how
silly he looks to those who see
through him than by any other
method.
And tho child who is full of the self
importance of knowing rather more
and learning rather more rapidly
than his schoolfellows is far more
easily laughed out of his conceit
than he could ever be argued out of
it. Good fun is a remedy for foibles
and at least a danger signal against
deeper evil. The child or man who'
feels that good fun has a reproaoh
and a sting for him is well aware
that he has wandered from the
straight way.—London Spectator.
An Aiii|Hkor Xemptm.
Some of the antiquities of thiw
eountry which find their way into
museums are rivaled in age by a.
living creature at the zoo. It is am
alligator terrapin, or Mississippi
snapper, whose 150 pounds of snb
stance have been accumulated in a
lifetime of five centuries or more.
At least that is what the scientists'
calculate, and they say that there la
no reason to doubt that it was pad
dling around as a little turtle in the
Mississippi when De Soto first gazed
upon that river. The giant terrapin
measures about 5 feet from snout to
tip of tail, and during its residence
of seven or eight years at the zoo it
has grown not a particle. It is too
lazy to move about much, and BO
nature has endowed it with special
facilities for catching food. When
hungry, it lies in the water with its
mouth wide open, and the bright
little red tongue looks so much like
a worm that it serves as a bait to
attract fish, on which the terrapin,
feeds.—Philadelphia Record.

The ostrich is popularly supposed
to be the only bird that eats door
knobs and padlocks and things of
that sort, but it is said, neverthe
less, that it would be equally dan
gerous to turn the emu or the casso
wary loose in a hardware store.
A Leuoa of Patriotism,
Familiar lessons should be incor
porated into our textbooks, inculcat
ing reverence for our political insti
tutions and embodying an elemen
tary knowledge of our system of
government, together with the re
spective functions of its legislative,,
judicial and executive departments,.
the conditions required for Ameri
oan citizenship and the duties and!
rights of the citizen. These lessons
should of course give a conspicuous-:
place to the memorable events of
which our country has been the the
ater and which serve as landmarks
on her onward progress. They
should include a brief sketch of the
nation's heroes, statesmen and pa
triots, whose martial deeds and civil
virtues the rising generation will be
taught to emulate.—Cardinal Gib
bons' "Embassador of Christ."
Aristotle.
Zoologists regard Aristotle as the
founder of their science, although
the scientific classification of the an-,.
imal world was not made until the1
time of Linnaeus, who in 1741
divid
ed the animal kingdom into six
groups. The classification of ani
mals into four divisions was made
by Cuvier in his great work, "The
Animal Kingdom," published in
1816.
