Fabre, the naturalist, tells in The Fortnightly Review a char- acteristic story about Charles Darwin and himself. Darwin wanted -to ex- plain the "homing" instinct of bees, and induced Fabre to begin a series of experiments with that purpose in view, A regular plan of. campaign Was drawn up. . Marked bees dark box and hive in the opposite direction from that in which they were finally 1ib- erated. The box was repeatedly turned about, so that the Inmates would lose all gense of direction. Every possible means was taken to render useless any known or con- ceivable method of obtaining one's bearings. The bees were even placed within an induction eoil in the effort to confuse them, The result of a long and elaborate series of iests was nil so far as any explanation of the homing power was concerned. In every case from thirty to forty per cent. of the bees found their way home without apparent trouble, no matter how confusing the trip away from home had been made. The story is characteristic, because it illustrates the thorough way in which the author of the "Origin of Species" attacked all his probiems. He was not one to merely "opine pret- tily and probably," and let it go at that, He put' everything to the test of experiment, and when the answer came out wrong, or did not come out at all, he 'scrapped' the hyp- "esis as a matter of course Instead of try-| ing to explain away its failure. A Novel Experiment, To Mr. Harold Brighouse, the Fng- lish playwright, belongs the distine- tion of being the first dramatist to write a play round the professional footballer, and the experiment earned cordial praise from the critics, Moreover, the professional footballer is represented as a very decent fellow possessed of a sense of honor, which is highly refreshing in these when sedentary pedants are prone to malign him as a wolf in sheep's clothing. a . Mr. Brighouse belongs te the Man- chester school of playwrights why have been brought fo 'he fromt by the repertory movement. Still on the right side of thirty he has something like; eight pleys to his name; all of which have attracted attention. His one-act play, "The Price of Coal," was received with enthusiasm when presented in London. It deals with a pit disaster and represents the qui heroism of the miner's wife. His best known play, however, is "Dealing in Futures," which # a somewhat bit- Ing attack on cerghiin phases of indus- trialism, All . Brighouse's plays are concerned With tae vital issues round him, and Manchester has rea- son to be proud of this native' pro- duct. : -- You May Speak First Now. King - George 'and Queen Mary have made an innovation in court etiquette, Breaking down the tradi- tions under which nobody must ad- dress the monarch unless"he is first Spoken to, Their Majesties have in- timated that at private dinner parties at least guests must ROL hesitate either to open the conversation or to broach a new subject of conversation. As the King and Queen are going to dine out regularly during the coming Season the innovation is causing a reat stir. It is hailed as an admir- ble move, ) Queen Alexandra still adheres to the old custom, possible on account of the fact that her deafness makes it dificult for her to follow general conversation. The late King Edward, though he unbent occasionally on special gecasions, was on the whole a strict observer of the rule which "hedged his divinity" against risk of being -cdressed on a subject for which he was not prepared, while Queen Victoria's strictness in the matter| has been chronicled by many who met her. iers-------------- Hippopotamus Ivory Less Used. Trade in hippopotamus tvory is earrfed om in Africa on a much small- er scale of late years than formerly. The teeth of the "hippo™ are much harder than those of the elephant, and for a long time were used in the manufacture of false teeth, which were skillfully carved from that ma- térial. Old Le Vaillant: remarks, in his "African Travels," now more than a hindred years old: "It is Surprising that E especially Frenchmen, sh an article of commerce teeth of the hippopota the help of science t replace our own, anfl we may see them flashing delightfully in the mouth of a preity woman."

Many years bing tailors went about the morth of Scotlnad working at"private houses by the day much on the same ines as some mod- ern dressmakers, These visits often lasted a week and were familiarly spoken of jn the trade as "whipping the cat."
