Wasps and Beetl Victims That the sting of the wasp, which punctures the nerve centers of a cap- tured caterpillar or spider, usually par- alyzes the creature into helplessness rather than kills it Is well known The victim remains alive in the bur- row or cell in which the wasp stores it 8s food for the larva which will emerge from the egg lald in the same cell. Therefore the newly hatched grub finds ready for it a provision of Hving meat instead of decayed car- rlon. That “wizard” among entomologists, the venerable Fabre, has discovered a similar yet even more extraordinary fact in the history of the glowworm beetle (lampyris—namely, that it an- aesthetizes the prey upon .which it itself feeds, so that it may constme it at leisure and predigested. This beetle, whose brilliant phosphorescence at- tracts the eye in the dusk of the sum- mer evenings. habitually hunts and Seizes upon a certain small snail in or- der to eat it. The curious thing is that the beetle anaesthetizes the mollusk at the first attack, preventing it from escaping by withdrawing to safety deep within its shell. Upon finding the snail the beetle dashes forward and, thrusting out its sharp, curved mandibles, re- peatedly stabs the side of the body of its prey. After a few punctures the snall becomes insensible and remains in that deadened state for three or four hours—a time more than sufficlent for the beetle to complete its meal.— Independent. INSTINCT IN PLANTS. Actions That Seem to Indicate Some 8ort of Nervous System. Plants sometimes appear to possess reasoning power. Charles Darwin in- stanced the case of the rootlet, which, piercing its way through the sofl and detecting a stone or lump of hard clay in its path, will go round it without touching it. “How does the rootlet or plant know that the stone is there?" he asks. “Certainly it cannot see it and as it does not touch it cannot feel it. The avoidance therefore seems to be in the nature of perception of some kind which is a mental operation.” The specles of mimosa known as the sensitive plant will contract its leaves even at the sound of a footstesp,-and when such a plant is being transplant- ed it crumples up during the process in such a way that it really appears to be suffering from fear. Afterward it re- covers and resumes its ordinary mode of life. Plants undoubtedly possess con- sciousness of a kind which enables them to carry out certain operations necessary to their preservation, and this can only be done through the pos- Session of some sort of mervous sys- tem.—London Standard. —_— Disra Nuptial Joke. There was a little joke between them (Disraell and his wife) which I heard from the late dean of Salisbury. “You know 1 married you for your money,” Disraell would say to her. *“Oh, yes, but if you were _to marry me again you would marry me for love,” was the regular reply. . “Oh, yes!” her husband would-exclaim, and the little nuptial comedy ended. But what Disraell said to Bernal Os- borne once about his marriage is much better worth the telling. It was at a dinner party after dinner when the men were alone. *“What did you mar- ry her for?’ Osborne asked in his char- acteristic way. Disraeli twiddled his wineglass ‘in the pause that followed this point blank inquiry. Then he lifted his head slowly and looked the other very expressively in the face. “For a reason,” he said, “which you could never understand—gratitude.”— From “Lord Beaconsfield and Other Tory Memories.” The Coach and Four Came, Among the many records of Harrow school Is that of a boy, the son of a poor local tradesman In a very small way of business. His schoolfellows often taunted him about his family poverty. Their thoughtless jeers, al- though hurting his feelings, drew from the lad the retort, “I intend before | die to ride in a coach and four.” The years sped by, and, lo and behold, the poverty stricken youngster of Harrow had developed into Dr. Parr, the great- est ‘scholar of his time, whose cus- tomary and favorite means of locomo- uut:I‘:L was a coach and fouri—London The child step- state. very lowest point. sociation with some of the statement. ~ Notice to | Automobile Owners The shop of the Northern Automobile Co., has been taken over by myself and I wish to announce that I intend to give Bemidji autoists an up-to-date service that will not be surpassed by anything in the I have with me trained automobile mechan- ics, who received their training in large shops in the cities and every bit of work will be inspected by my- self.
