A Splendid Success.

The Best County Institute ever Held The Jasper county Annual Teachers Institute opened Monday morning in the Rensselaer public school building. The attendance the first day was 112 and this increased the next day to 120. Encouraging as is this great, almost universal attendance of the teachers of the county, more encouraging still is the keen and intelligent interest shown by all of them, almost without exception, in the work of the Institute and in the cause of advanced common school education in general. Tire county superintendent has again been very successful in the instructors he has secured for the Institute. Mrs. Fannie Burt, teacher of the primary model school in the State Normal, and perhaps the ablest exponent of the best methods of primary instruction in the state, is present during the entire session. Prof. Parson, president of the State Normal, was present Monday and Tuesday, and most profitably occupied the greater portion of the days. Prof. S. S. Parr, Principal of the Normal department of DePauw University, came yesterday and will remain until the close. State Superintendent Holcombe was also present on Wednesday. The evenings also have been and will continue to be most profitably occupied. On Monday evening the Annual Teachers Be-un-ion was held. Tuesday evening Prof. Parsons lectured on the subject of Shakespeare. Mr. Holcombe lectured on Wednesday night, and for the remainder of the week, Prof. David S. Jordan, president of the State University, will lecture on Thursday night and Prof. 8. S. Carr on Friday night. Below are the names and residences of all the members of the Institute enrolled up to Tuesday evening: HANGING GROVE. P H Overton. C R Peregrine, Frank Peregrine, Lillie M Peregrine, Alpha Banta.

Change of Structure Due to Change of Function.

* * * Here, however, my chief purpose is to add an instance showing, even more clearly, the connexion between change of function and change of structure. This instance,'allied in nature to the other, is presented Dy those varieties, or rather sub-varieties, of dogs, which, having been household pets, and habitually fed on soft food, nave not been called on to use their jaws in tearing and crunching, and have been but rarely allowed to use them in catching prey and in fighting. No inference can be drawn from the sizes of the jaws themselves, which, in these dogs, have probably been shortened mainly by selection. To get direct proof of the decrease of the muscles concerned in closing the jaws or biting, would require a series of observations very difficult to make. But it is not difficult to get indirect proof of this decrease by looking at the bony structures with which these muscles are connected. Examination of the skulls of sundry indoor dogs contained iy the Museum of the College of Surgeons, proves the relative smallness of such parts. The only pug-dog’s skull is that of an individual not perfectly adult; and though its traits are quite to the point they cannot with safety be taken as evidence. The skull of a toy-terrier has much restricted areas of insertion for the temporal muscles; has weak zygomatic arches; and has extremely small attachments for the masseter muscles. Still more significant is the evidence furnished by the skull of a King Charles’s spaniel, which, if we allow three years to a generation, and bear in mind that the variety must have existed before Charles the Second’s reign, we may assume belongs to something approaching to the hundredth generation of these household pets. The relative breadth between the outer surfaces of the zygomatic arches is conspicuously small; the narrowness of the temporal fossae is also striking; the zygomata are very slender; the temporal muscles have left no marks whatever, either by limiting lines or by the character of the surfaces covered; and the places of attachment for the masseter muscles are very feebly developed. At the Museum of Natural History, among skulls of dogs there is one which, though unnamed, is shown by its small size and by its teeth, to have belonged to one variety or other of lap-dogs, and which has the same traits in an equal degree with the skull just described. Here, then, we have two if not three kinds of dogs which, similarly leading protected and pampered lives, show that in the course of generations the parts concerned in clenching the jaws have dwindled.— Herbert Spencer, in Popular Science Monthly for April.

The Cost of Wheat Production.

The phenomenally low prices for wheat which have prevailed during the past year have directed attention to the details of the cost of producing that grain, and in various States of the wheat section the statistical experts are making calculations to settle the ques-» tion whether, at the prevailing prices, the culture of win at can be profitably continued. One of the most interesting reports yet published on this point has been made by the Michigan Secretary of State concern ng the cost of producing and marketing the wheat, oats, and corn crops of 1885 in that S: •:*<>. The average yield per Acre is j. . nat 21.98 bushels of wheat, 40.55 bushels of oats, and 70.87 bushels of ears of corn. The yield thus indicated applied to the cost per acre shows an average cost per bushel of 59.1 < ents for wheat, 29 cents for oats, and 21.1 cents for ear corn. The average price of wheat on January 1, for the State, is placed at about 74 cents, oats 30 cents, and corn 24 cents per bushel of ears. In regard to wheat, the report observes that the “net profit on investment in the southern counties is 88 per cent, and in the northern counties 85 per cent” — Scientific American.
