Insect Reading Lamp. The lantera-llr of South America sometimes measures more ^han two inches in length. The sh: po of the head is very curious. It is furnished a hollow, transparent snout, nearly the length of the body, whence comes the lamplike light. A lady, relating her first impressions of these in:;ects. says she had several of them brought to her in the day- time, and put them into a box. In the night the confined insects made such a noise as to awaken her. She opened the box. the inside of which seemed to be all ablaze, and in her astonish- ment the box fell from her hands. Each of the insects seemed to be on fire. She soon, however, guessed the cause, and replaced her brilliant guests in their place of confinement.

Q109 BaJd Peacemakers. An amusing sidelight on the recent Peace Conference at Versailles is thrown by a correspondent, who not only reported the proceedings proper, but took notes regarding the hair, moustaches, beards aud whiskers of the peacemakers. Two-thirds of the delegates were more or less bald. Per- haps some of them made up for this by wearing moustaches. Out of sixty- five men who sat round the peace table, all had moustaches but four- teen. Whiskers, on the other hand, were not popular. Only three people wore them, and by a curious coinci- dence, the names of all these three people began with V. They were Veuizelos, of Greece; VandeveUie, of Belgium; and Vassltch. of Serbia. The latter's whiskers were particular- ly prominent. In regard to dress, there was less formal attire than one might have imagined. The English paid no special attention to dress.
