There Is kinship of blood betwen the two na tions. We of Ihe I'nlted 8ta4ei nrp of 'mixed stock. In our veins runs the blood of almost all the peoples of mid dle, northern, arid w. stern Kurope. We already have a history of which f f el that we have the right to be legi timately proud, and yet our nation. il Ity Is still in the formative period. Nearly three centuries ha e - clnp.e. since the- landing of th" Knglish at Jamestown marked 111- beginning of "hat has since grown Into tin- Knifed States. During these three centuries-streams of newcomers from many different countries abroad have In each genera tion contributed to swell the-increase of our people. Soon after the Kne.osh fettled in Virginia and New Kulnnd. the Hollander settled ut the mouth of the Hudson and the Swede at the mouth of tin- rielewaie. Kven In colo nial days the Centum element' had be come very strong among our jmople in various parts of this country; the Irish element was predominant in the foot hills of the Allegheny's, French Hugue nots were numerous. Ry the time of the IXcltirat iom of Independence that process of fusion which lias gone on ever since was well under way. From the beginning of our national- history men of German origin or German pa rentage played n distinguished part In the affairs both of peace and. of war. In the Revolutionary war one of the leading generals was Muhlenburg, an American of German descent. Just as among the noidlers from abroad who came to aid us one of the most promi nent was the German Steuben. Muh lenburg was the Hist Speaker f 1 In House ot IJcpresciitallves: 'and t he battle which in tile Revolution saved the Cey of the Mohawk to th'.' American cause was fought under the lead of the German, Herkimer.' As all the different races here lend rapid ly to fuse together, it Is rarely possi ble after one or two generations to draw a sharp line between the various elements; but there is no student i' our national conditions who ha- failed to appreciate what an Invaluable de ment in our composite slock (he Ger man is. lb-re on Ibis platform, Air.

One is thti ,'oa bee-tie. This lt die is said to ver j n in ions mid very useful. The larg-1 -t and most familiar member of the I 'amlly is known1 us the "devil's coach1 horse." This cognomen was suggested , by his repulsive aspect, disgusting odot j and generally ferocious nature. He Is i dull black, narrow- and a little ovei in Inch long.

Instantly he faces around to' Ti.e bit He. opening it formidable pair af ,-lekle shaped jaws and bending the tall between his legs, the beetle hfi -; assumed a different attitude towards his enemy, and Ibis Is the signal of the Change. Before he recovers from his i ludicrous predicament -he has fallen to- ward the rear almost as rapidly as he had previously advanced, and his prey has escaped. One beetle is credited, with having; solved a certain geometrical problem long before man did It. Whatever his. everyday name may be, bis scientific is' Rhynchitea Betuloo. 1 Huygen's, tlie! jreat mathematical genius, was the, first .one to exploit the problem in his i "Horologltim Oscillalorium," in lfil'X j The little Icdle in making. ! case for her i'i-gs has learned how lo adapt to' her in.iliis Hie involute and cvolilt?. ; Tho purpose the two curves of higher mathematics is that of ('.instructing; from a given Involute the corresponding ! evolute, a problem which involves jc most complicated combination of dif ferential calculus and goemetry. Some think Ih.tt the beetle has thei power to reason In a limited degree. A, German artist, who is declared to huv been a man of "strict veracity," lias told a story to illustrate this. In a journey through Inly he said he saw a species of t lie scc.rabaetis busily engag ed in making a1 pellet of soil far the; reception of its t gg. This, w hen It was. finished, the beetle rolled to the sum mit of a small hillock a number of! times, each time permitting it to turn-i ble down (he side. Apparently this was done for the sake pf consolidating it by the addition of earth, which each time adhered to it. Tn the course of this process the pellet fell into a hole.; The beetle was unable to get It out, try ! hard as It might. After several unsuc cessful efforts she went away.
