VARIED LENGTH OF- INFANCY
Period of Hclptiiinm Stcmi to Co I IK
side with the Size of the
Animal.
It is often remarked that the infancy
of human beings today is longer than
It formerly was. This seems to be in
evltable. owing to the higher state of
soelety. In a general way the taore
highly developed an animal 1m the
longer an apprenticeship it will have
to serve before it la ready to cut loose
from parental and other restraints and
shift for itself
Two interesting books have reoently
been brought out, which treat of this
matter in infancy as applied to the va
rlous animals. The period of infancy
varies very widely, Mice have prac
tically no infancy, but at six weeks are
parents of more mice. Human beings
are helpless at birth and for years
after. The horse Is "grown up" at
three years, while the elephant re
quired seven or eight times that length
of time to develop fully. Thus the
elephant is Just entering upon life
when the horse is ready to die of old
age.
In a general way, says the Path
finder, the length of infancy tends to
run parallel with the relative bulk of
the animal?the larger animals re
quiring more time to grow and devei- i
op thpir full vigor. In some oases low- j
er animals attain maturity only by a
succession of curious stages. The shall
of a crab when once hardened cannot
grow and the crab is forced to molt or
cast off his outgrown shell from time
to time and grow a new one a little
larger.
A crato when growing this new B&ell
is known aa Boft shell or "soft" crab,
and at such times he is, of course, es
pecially subject to attack from hia
enemies, as the shell, whioh le the nat
ural armor, is wanting, In museums
there are exhibits of as many as four
teen castoff shells of a single crab, be
ginning with a very tiny one and each
one just a size larger than the last.
Shellfish have their skeletons out
side them in the form of their sheila
Instead of inside them. Wmt what ik
waste Of material la involved in a aye
tern which requires them tp manufac
ture a new skeleton every new moon
or at other short intervals, only to be
throwJVaway as soon as it is finished.
The state of development o t ani
mals whefiT born depends a great deal
on the conditions that aire to sarroand
them during infancy. Young rabWts.
which are born in an underground
burrow, are blind, naked and heipieaa
at birth ; the young hare, which in own
cousin to the rabbit, Is born with tta
eyes open and oovered with fUr, and
this because it is born above ground,
where it is exposed both to tfee la
clemency of the weather and predatory
foes. Thus in a measure eaeh ta salt
ed to its surroundings.
Latest About David.
A London teacher who 1mm been
examining the papers Bent in by boys
of ten or eleven for a Scriptuae exam
ination sends a few of tbe chotoeet
efforts:
One day David saw ten leppa*dfl,
and they were calling out unclean.
One of them turned back and started
to come towards him a ad be ww
clean. .?
'A Pharisee and a pubnooon wont
up into a temple to pray. One liked
it, the other did not, so one stored
and the other didn't. This teach? ns
to be kind and not unkind.
A giant named Goliath, tbe man
of the Phyistins, was going to fight I
Israinel. A youag boy name (ft rid
herd him. He s^id to himeetf, "Til
have a go at him." He went to the
Israelits' camp. He said, 'Til hare a
go at him."
The Pharisees are frode and donot
keep the law. The Publicans are tho
tax corlectors. They do aot take what
they haft too. They made there
selves more money. Tbat learne us
not to thief.
Expensive Boat Race.
A writer in Bailey's Magazine of
England has been figuring on the oost
of the annual boat race between Ox
ford and Cambridge, and say* the ex
pensp to each crew may be approxi
mately estimated at $3,000 for each.
He then says that aft the eont?et rare;
ly takes more than twenty minutes,
the cost works out at about $300 per
minute, or about $8 every time the
oars dip into the water. The 4eat of
the boats is placed at $3f>0, and the
oars at $70, the rest of the money go
ing for preparation from October un
til the day of the race. The writer
seems to think that $3,000 is a good
deal of money to spend on a college
crew (observes the New York Eve
ning Post). It would be interesting
to know what he would think of many
times that amount spent upon the
American college crews for the an
nual races.
