SLAW ACTING NERVES,
Earthworms and Clams In No Danger
of the Strenuous Life.
The common earthworm has two
sorts of nerves.'
One of these is a thread running
lengthwise of the body between the
places where bead and tail would be
if the creature had either. This nerve
has only one use—to carry the signal
to shorten up.
So when the worm, keeping under-
ground by day, comes by nilit half-
way out of its bole and suspects,
though he cannot see, the early bird
looking for breakfast, whisk goes the
signal along the nerve thresd, oue enci
of the body flattens out and locks fast
in the burrow, and the rest pulls into
safety.
This sort of nerve carries a message
at the rate of a yard and a half a sec-
ond, or about seventy times more slow
ly than our own do.
The other sort of nerve takes care of
the crawling. Signals along these
nerves travel only an inch a second.
If our inner telegrams were sent as
slowly, it would be a whole minute
from the time the pitcher threw the
ball till the batter started to swing his
club at it.
Yet, as the simpler creatures go, the
earthworm is not especially sluggish.
The fresh water 'clam, for instance,
gets word from one part of Its body to.
another at only half the earthworm's
rate. So it is 2,400 times slower than
a man.—Edwin Tenney Brewster in St.
Nicholas.

Blow of a Whale's Tail.
Ask ten persons -what is the strong
est animal force in the world and nine
will reply that it is the blow of e
lion's paw. The tenth man may ex-
press
xpress the belief, based on .experience,
that it is the kick of a Missouri mule.
As a matter of fact, the blow of a
whale's teals incomparably the strong=
est ani mal force-, '
)full grown whale placed at just the
right distance would smash in the side
of a wooden ship as Weal—lilt were an

The second strongest force is the
kick of a giraffe, and this terrible kick
is adequate protection to these other-
wise helpless animals. '.Phe stroke of
the lion's paw comes third on the list.

:elf, spoke up boldly in the affirmative
and threw fresh life into the discussion
by declaring that she always did her
best to encourage her own cousins to
marry one another, as such unions
were very economical.
"Economical! How, dear?" her club.

"Well, you see," said the speaker de-
murely, "one wedding present does for
both then."—Exchange.
The Swedish Almanac.
The Swedish name almanac differs
from English almanacs in giving, be
sides the usual information, a Chris-
tian name for each seg for every day
of the year. The names set forth bave
to receive the approval of the king.
The object aimed at is to secure a
greater choice of names for parents
and to avoid the endless repetition of
a dozen or so names. A similar name
almanac is issued under royal author-
ity in one of the German states.—Lon-
don Graphic.
