' ‘some: cuaiosirizs 011" INSECT 1.1m , an insect from above we may be forgiven for sup- posing tlic second of its body-divi- slcns ithe thorax) to be its chest. It l; certainly iii the position where a "chest" should be. But there are important differences as we shall If we examine on dollar inheritance-bur there PAUL BURST presently see. I have alluded to tho ___- ' fact that the ears of a cricket are A I L ' " in its less: to be exact, in the tibiae ' oi‘ its fore-legs. Some species of cricket, however, have the auditory organs underneath the thorax, just ahead of the fore-legs. What is the us: of these organs? Wiiat do insects hear. seeing thlt they can make no vocal efforts, as the higher orders of animals d0? Well there are several ways of pro- ducing call-notes, which are usually in: prerogative of the male insect. The locusts-which we call grasshop- pcr.;—‘fidd1c" by rzisping the wing covers with the legs. Other insects, 111111; flying, rub the under surface cf the iorc-v/ings, or wing covers, against the hind wings and make a droning sound. And there are other mechanical ways of sercnacling which I ncsd 1"iot particulaiire. RD TH URSDA About the time of the advent. of the telephone English schoolboys, ivhosc imagination was touched by the invention, used to cut the bot- toms out of two tin canisters, cover one end of each with parchment, bladder, or even papa‘; then with a taut. string running from the centre cf the one diaphragm to that of the other, they spoke into the one canis- tcr and the sound was iaerpetuated more or less distinctly by the other. This simple apparatus will help us to understand the “ear” of the crick- et. Imagine an urificcin the thorax closed by a tyinpanic membrane, and an auditory nerve running from it to the brain. in the manner of the schoolboy: taut string, and we have an illustration sufficiently clear for our purpose, Another distinction of tlie thorax from c "chest," is that all the six legs of the insect spring from the thorax. And in order to secure flex- ibiiuy the thorax is divided into three parts, each of which bears a pair of legs. In fact both the’ abdo- men and thorax are composed of chitlnous. Plates, which allow I cer- tain freedom of movement, so that the animal is gal-bed like a mediaeval knight; in his jointed armor. From the thorax, too, spring the wings, 11511111111 two in number. They may be accompanied by wing cases in some orders of insects as grass-hoppers. nndbeetles; by balaiicerg as in the common housefly; or by a second pair of wings, as in the moths, ants and bees. Some insects, however, have no wings, or only rudimentary ones. The abdomen is the “body” of the insect. In the Short-horned Locusts the ears are situated underneath the first segment of the abdomen, next to the thorax. The breathing holes wspiracles) also tn this class o.’ in- sects are along the sides of the ab- domen. Legs never spring from this part of the body; indeed appendages to the abdomen iire rare, exceptions occurring however in the case of in- iiorthcrnmust tip of Iceland.

ON BOILING POTATOES Boiling potatoes in their “jackets” I am informed ls "the method of a lazy cook," inasmuch as it throws part of the labor upon the consumer; but its convenience is so great that the practice will survive all that can be said against, it. In an analysis of the potato, in these notes some time ago, lt was pointed out that the pro- tctn, 1h: most viiluablei substance of the tuber, lies in a thin layer Just uiidci' the skin and in paring the po- tato this is invariably cut away. Boll- ing the potato “in its jacket" is the first step in the right. direction to- wards saving this substance. But, owing m the demand for a “mealy" potato, the plant breeder has either greatly reduced Ol‘ else weakened the connective tissue. so that as the boiling nears completion, the skin together with the protein, cracks and separates from the starchy portion. The problem was, in the first instance, how to stop the potato from splitting. Being of an lnqulsitlvc turn of mind, and know- ing that salt. hardens some tissues, I tried the effect of adding a heap- ing tablespoonfu! of salt to the water, The result was encouraging, as the potatoes spilt very slightly indeed. still. when the peeling took place. there was considerable waste. Tomato skins come off when they are scald- eci; would the same effect take place in the case of the potato? The next batch was washed 7h cold water,‘ then the pan was filled with scald- ing water from the kettle and-the salt added. The potatoes, when cook- ed, were It great. success; the skin came off, 1n great flakes, as thin‘ as tissue paper, and on taking a sec- tion of the tuber, the protein layer and the starchy centre were easily (llstlngulshable. When the potatoes were washed in scalding. instead of cold water. the effect was better still. The salt improves, the flavor too. and the salt water with its minerals drawn from the potato form a valu- able addition to the pig-feed. By us- 1118 scalding water the time required T" 600111118 was cut down consider- ably.

A LONG TRIP A house agent had a farm on his books which was supposed to be haunted and to prove rumor wrong hc decided to engage a man to atiiy there for one night.

On jibe lawn ‘he discovered the remains- iof s. window sash and shutters com-l lpletely wrecked,’ but of the watch- man there was no sign. Foui-‘dnys later the house agent. came across lilm tramplng along a country lane three miles away. Hallo, George, he cried. Whore have you been all this time?
