DUTTON Compositor THETIS F. FISHER Apprentice Saturday, July 15,1916 Th« Face and Its Expression “My boy,” said a wise father, who knew how to piny with twelve year old lads, <4 you do not own your own face.” The boy looked puzzled. He had come to the breakfast table with a clouded countenance, tnd had started moodily to eat his food. Every body had felt the shadow, of his ill spirits His father’s unexpected words brought him back to life, and he looked with half-guilty ex pression, but did not understand what was meant. •‘You do not own your own face,” his father repeated “Do not forget that. It belongs to other people. They, not you, have to look at it. You have no right to compel others to look at a sour, gloomy, and crabbed' face. He had never thought of that, but he understood and did not for get. And all of us should under stand and none of us should for get the fact that our face’s belong to other people.—Ex. (i) Granivorous, living npoti grains or other seeds. Carnivor ous, living upon animal food. GRKoarious, living in numbers or flocks. Omnivorous, feeding in discriminately on all kinds of foods. Ruminants, animals which chew the cud. (a) Will you kindly give a list of the different classes of reptiles, and an example of each kind, und also explain the circulation and digest ion of reptiles which causes their flesh to do colder than that of an imals. (a) Testudinata, turtles ; Lori- CATA, alligator; Lackrtilia, lizards; Orrhidia, snakes, also the digestive apparatus of reptiles is shorter in proportion than in warm blooded vertebrates The transition from the oesophagus to the stomach is by a pouch-like di lutation. The small intestines have but few coils, and the large intestines are short. The digestion is sluggish, also the blood of reptiles is much cooler than in animals or birds. The heart has only three cavities instead of four, two auricles and ventricle. The arterial blood from the lungs goes into the left auricle, and the venous blood from all parts of the body into the right auricle ; both are poured into t he si ngle ventricle, both are poured into the single ventricle, thus mix ing the pure and impure blood; hence the sluggishness of the.->e animals, reptiles having no dia phragm, there is no division be tween the cavities of the thorax and abdomen, and the lungs are not connected with air-sacs placed, in various parts of the body, and the eyes of reptiles differ bur little from thoj»e of birds ; the hearing is less complete than it is in either mammals or birds; the sense of smell is but little developed ; while the 6ense of touch is almost want ing. (3) To what class of creatures do Crawfish and Crabs belong. (3) To the Crustacea ; they are all * covered w ith a hard crust or shell. The body consists of segments, most of which, in the higher orders, are united into one piece, called the CIPHALO THORAX. Most CrUStftC- eans live in water, and breath by means of gills or branohioe, and all Crustaceans have the power of repairing injuries to themselves. Thus, if a leg or other appendage is broken off another soon grows in its place, as the Crustacean grows it becomes too large for its shell : A rent is formed through the back and the animal slips out, leaving a shell us much like itself us when it encased the living creature. QUESTIONS FOR NEXT WEEK. (1) What is a bill as used in the constitution, and by how many processes may a bill become a law? Give the several steps. (a) Please explain latitude and longitude, and tell why it is a place can have twice as much longitude as latitude. (3) Is it true as often said that bats are totally blind; if so how do they manage to fly among trees, wires etc. without striking them. THF HONEY BEE When far above the boughs, starred pink and white With dainty blooms, the sunlit skies of May, In purple altitudes, with fleecy gray Of drifting cirrus sailing out from sight, Hold for the dreamer vision of delight, The bee’s boom sounds amid each fragrant spray; Then when south winds with June's sweet roses play, He seeks their aew-filled wells with ready flight. And all the year the clover-blossocns know His busy visits, and the mignonette And honeysuckle add unto his store; Well wots he of the buckwheat's swaying snow; And lily-bells that gleam with rain drops wet He haunts as fairies haunt some sunlit shore.
