Their origin carries us back to the very commencement of things. They were one of the earliest of the forms of life and the pioneers of insect life. As some one has said, ‘They are the true aristocrats of in- sects,’’ the kings of their kind. Learned savants and researchers tell us that the most primitive of cockroaches are found deep down in what are known as the silurian rocks, which were formed such countless ages ago that they don’t attempt to count them at all. They were not very unlike their lineal descendants of today, the principal difference being as to their wings, and it is probable that should one of these ancient creatures be in some way resurrected and go scurrying across the kitchen floor it would be stepped on with as little thought and compunction as are its modern kindred. As these wings con- stitute the chief and often the only means ing in most cases been wholly dissolved by putrefaction, it is perhaps worthy of note that their development was more per- fect than in the present varicties—except- almost ddentical~and that they are pre- lation.ef the membrane. With the lapse of ages the forms and shape:of.the wings gradually underwent a change,.or rather a series of changes, as well as the size of the body, and the orig- epecies. It has always been a law of na- ture:that all forms of life shall advance from a simple uniformity to a complex di- versity or from homogeneity to heteroge- neity, tertiary epoch, wher: the first mamuzual life was introduced into the world, have been thus far discovered and described, many of Pennsylvania and West Virginia. The investigations of late years have demon- strated, in fact, that America, as is South Aierica today, was the most fruitful of any part of the globe, both in its varieties and its numbers. When we remember that there.are at present from 700 to 800 spe- cies, that their numbers have been steadily decreasing for some millions of years and that. their kind once comprised one-half of the ancient or paleozoic insects, we can form some vague conception of the propor- tions of .cur cockroach populaticn of the past. The eeckreach of modern times is com- monly smaller than its progeniter; but, being of the same roving habits and in- quisitive nature, has become a famous traveler in these days of worldwide com- merce and communications.

The Spectacular Side of It Doubtless Has Strong Attractions. In The Century there is an article on “Heroes Who Fight Fire’? by Jacob A. Riis in the series of “Heroes of Peace.”’ Mr. Riis says: Doubtless there is something in the spec- tacular side of it that attracts. It would be strange if there were not. There is ev- erything in a fireman’s existence to en- courage it. Day and night he leads a kind of hair trigger life that feeds naturally upon excitement, even if only as a relief from the irksome idling in quarters. Try as they may to give him enough to do there, the time hangs heavily upon his ands, keyed up as he is and need be to adventurous deeds at shortest notice. He allsto grumbling and quarreling, and the necessity becomes imperative of holding him to the strictest discipline, under which he chafes impatiently. ‘They nag like a lot of old women,’’ said Department Chicf Bonner to me once, ‘‘and the best at a fire are often the worst in the house.’’ In the midst of it all the gong strikes a familiar signa). The horses’ hoofs thunder on the planks; with a leap the men go down the shining pole to the main floor, all else for- gotten, and with crash and clatter and bang the heavy engine swings into the street and races away on a wild gallop, leaving a trail of fire behind. Presently the crowd sees rubber coated, | helmeted men with pipe and hose go through a window from which such dense smoke pours forth that it seems incredible that a human being could breathe it for a second and live. The hose is drayged squirming over the sill, where shortly a red eyed face with disheveled hair appears, to shout something hoarsely to those be- low, which they understand. Then, un- less some emergency arise, the spectacular partis over.
