ANIMAL LANGUAGE.

So am da Bo til Shrill mod Low That W« Cannot Hear. Most people suppose a mole to be dumb, but It Is not. A mole-can give « sound so shrill that It hasn’t any effect on the human ear at all and an* other sound eo low- and soft that no tinman being can hoar It Yet a weasel can hear both these sounds as plainly as yon can the report of a gun. and a Bound registering machine—the plionantograpli—will show them both, with scores of other sounds you are deaf to. The usual note of the mole Is a low pur, w hich it uses a good deal while at work underground, and It can also shout at the top of its voice if hurt or alarmed; but, though It shouted and purred In your ear, you wouldn’t hear 1L The Bound register, however, with Its delicate pencil that marks the volume of sound on a paper, gives the quality of both sounds. A weasel, too, which is one of the mole's enemies, can hear these sounds through a couple of inches of earth and often catches the mole when he throws up his hillocks of earth. The common field mouse, too, has a pur that Is altogether beyond you, though you can bear him squeak plainly enough If he is hurt. A death's head moth, too, can squeak, but that Is done by rubbing his wings together and is not a voice at all. But the champion of all creatures for good hearing and one that can hear a •ound that is over 100 degrees beyond your own limit is the common thrush, and you may often amuse yourself by watching him at It. He can hear a lobworm moving underground, locate him by the noise and haul him out Often you may see a thrush stand perfectly still on your lawn, cock his ear and listen Intently, then make a couple of steps and haul out a fat lobworm. Even the starling, which Is about the size of a thrush, cannot do thin, but he knows the thrush can, and, being a disreputable person, with no common honesty, he follows the young thrushes about on their worm hunts and steals the worms from them as soon as they are caught—London Answers.

VIGOROUS OLD AGE.

Plato died in his eighty-third year, mnd his last hour was devoted to intellectual work. Isocrates was ninety-four years old when he wrote his famous work, “Panathenalkus.” Terestius Varro lived to be nearly a hundred, and he continued to write up to the day of his death. Hiero, king of Sicily, lived to be ninety, and Masinlssa lived to be still older and ruled for sixty years. Quintus Fabius was appointed augur when he was past middle age, and he held the office for sixty-two years. Cato Censorius transacted business until be was nearly ninety and retained to the end all his old time vigor. Gorgias Lwiitium, the teacher of Isocrates aud oilier distinguished men, was in excellent health at the age of 107 years. Chrysippus began to write his work on logic in his eightieth year. Cleanthes taught his pupils up to his ninetyninth year. Sophocles lived to be nearly a hundred, and during his last days he wrote the “(Edipus Coloneus," one of the "greatest tragedies ever written. Argantliouius began to rule when he was forty years old and held power for eighty years, and In the third book of the “History” Asinius Pollio tells us that he did not die until he was past his one hundred and thirtieth year.

Valuable Insects.

Perhaps there are few substances contributed by animals to the materia mediea of greater value or more extensively beneficial than certain species of insects. Of these there are none more highly esteemed for medical purposes than those beautiful, shining, green colored insects known as blistering beetles, or cantharides. Their corrosive, action is so great that they frequently inflame jmfod excoriate the hands of those wb» collect them, and on this chief medicinal virtue depends. They are generally used in the form of plasters or ointment, and in cases of violent visceral inflammation their external use can scarcely be supplied by any other medicine.

Curious Mode of Catching Turtles.

A curious mode of catching turtles Is practiced in the West Indies. It consists In attacldng n ring aDd a line to the tall of a species of sucker fish known ns the remora. The live fish is then thrown overboard and immediately makes for the first turtle he can spy, to which he attaches very firmly by means of h sucking apparatus arranged at the top of his bead. Once attached to the turtle ; sofimJß his grip that the tlshcnm^^B i t ;
