SOMETHING FOR NOTHING.
TliaC Seems to be the Creat F.ffbrt, the
(rent Desideratum
The other morning I found upon my disk
on elegnntly addressed letter. I opened it.
Tim jH'iimansliip was noticeably line, the
phrasing correct, tho punx)se clear. The
writer introduced himself us a man of mis-foi-timi',who
ventured to ask sonic uid, how
ever small ami begging, in case I had to go
out, to ineloso whatever 1 was willing to
give, in an accompanying envelope ad
dressed to himself. Tho-letter was signed by
a hteiieil plate, with a fac-simile of the
writer's signature, and the accompanying
envelope was addressed to himself, in the
same way. Familiarity with that sort of
thing enabled mo to decide at once to have
nothing to do with the man, and to give him
nothing. Later in the day the door opened,
and a jktsoii with a patch over his e3"e, very
well dressed, entered tho room. "Is there
any answer to Mr. Blank's letterf he asked.
'Yes; tho reply is that there is nothing for
you. You are altogether too systematic. I
am surprised that you succeed in so thinly
disguised a fraud as this."
Without u word he turned and left the
room.
There aro more than a hundred tenants in
tho building where I have my office, and it
would Le strange indeed if from some of them
this fellow didn't get a $5 or $10 bill, and
there are several hundred similar buildings
in the city, and it would be stranger yet if
from them all he didn't derive a very hand
some income.
Hut, see the point?
In tho first place he had to think out the
scheme. In tho next it required time and in
genuity to frame and write his begging ap
peals. Then he had to have them delivered,
and then to call, all of which means indus
trious pursuit of a chosen business, and, as
wo all know, tho industrious following of a
chosen business results, ninety-eight times in
a hundred, in success. Why then could ba
not lind some reputable calling, in which the
same industry, the sumo degree of wit and
endeavor, would bring him a fair return for
honest labor, a return for honest labor not
only, but a return to the people from whom
ho gets Iris reward?
Something for nothing.
That seems to be tho great effort, the great
ambition, the great desideratum. It is a kind
of speculation in futures. In some respects
it is not different from the speculation which
Wall street makes respectable, and which
after all is littlo moro than betting that a
stock which stands hero today will bp some?
where else tomorrow, with tho balance in
favor, however, of tho Wall street operator,
because there is a chance for a man there to
lose, and that chance he has to take; whereas
with cur friends, the begging fraternity, tho
extreme possibility is a failure to connect
with an accommodating poeketbook. An
unfortunate feature of this sort of thing is
found jn tho fact that many men are mis
placed in life, and the misfortune which at
tends them falls upon their families, adding
to their burden and their disappointment at
the keen and incisive piercings of positive
physical suffering. Men with hungry wives
and starving children will do almost any
thing, and I don't know that they ' ate to bo
censured one iota if they take any chance,
however desperate, to do any deed, however
wicked,, in tho moment of their dire necessity
and the hour of their extreme emergency ,-r
Joe Howard in New York Graphic.
An Ingenious Mendicant's Tricks.
There is a seemingly blind mendicant who
for tho past year or so has gained a living in
the Eastern district of Brooklyn. He is a
strapping big fellow physically, of dark com
plexion, and capable of doing any kind of
manual labor. Tho writer met him a few
evenings ago and recognized him as a man
whom ho had frequently bestowed small
change upon when he stood on Chatham
street, Jsew York city, not three years ago.
Up to the time the reporter met him last ho
did not have anv doabts of the man's afflic
tion, but ft incident occurred on last Lion
day night which will mako tho reporter man
wide awoke.
On the 7:20 boat from Brooklyn the rc
portcr on looking up suddenly observed tho
can, but instead of working the blind dodge
ho had a new wrinkle. that of a one-armed
veteran. Tn a small satchel suspened around
liij neck ho had a "manbyr silver nd gold
paper envelopes, in which were two or three
kiud3 of court plaster, tho virtues of which
lie proclaimed in a loud tone cf voice. Ho was
:io5 very successful in disposing of his wares,
r.:id when the boat reached the slip the re
porter followed tho man as ho got off. He
w:dked up East street to Broome, and behind
a pil'j cf Jumber handed his sac-he 1 to a dissi
pated looking mortal, reoeiving in return a
staff ai:d a square piece of pasteboard. When
he had placed tho jiasteboard around his neck
he walked slowly up Broome street to Tomp
kins, and then turned into Grand street. Oa
tho corner of Grand and Lewis streets he
halted, took a bundle of lead pencils in bis
liundi, and cried out in a piteous tone of voice:
"PLbr.sq help tho blind"
The reporter' watered bia q few moments,
and then walked over to him and said;
"You aro tho greatest rogue I ever saw. I
noticed you oa tho ferry boat, when you
could see as well as I can, and now you sud
denly become blind. What do you mean by
itf
The man opened his eyes, turned and walked
jjpidly ip Grand street to the Bowery. New

ANIMALS MAKE SOIL
The Wonderful Work Done by Ant.
Karthworuis What Larval Insect Ac
coinjillhh Activity of the Crayili.li iu
Wet CJ round Observation!.
Although the earthworms aro undoubtedly
very imjiortant agents in overturning and
breaking up of soil, it apjiears to mo that
they are most effective in the tilled fields or
in tho natural and urtilicial grass lauds. So
far as I have been able to observe, thoso
creatures are rarely found iu our ordinary
forests, where a thick layer of leaf mold,
commingled tvith branches, lies upon tho
earth. Tho character of this dejiosit is such
that tho creatures are not comiietent to make
their way through it, and they, therefore, in
tho main avoid such situations. .Moreover,
wherever tho soil is of a very sandy nature
earthworms are scantily found, if they aro
present at all. These worms are practically
limited to tho soils of a somewhat clayey
character, which have no coating of decayed
vegetation upon them.
As tho greater jau ;....i ." .Le ;:i...iin- t,v.;
has been produced iu forest regions, I shall
first exumino the action of various unimals
upon tho soils of wooded countries. Tho
mammals are of all our vertebrates the most
effective in their action ujon tho soil of
forests. Twenty species or moro of our
American mammals are burrowers in tho
forest bed. They cither mako their habita
tions beneath tho ground or resort to it in
pursuit of food. Of these our burrowing
rodents are perhaps the most effective, but u
large number of other small mammals resort
to the earth and make considerable excava
tions. In forming their burrows or in the
pursuit of other burrowing animals these
creatures often lenetratc through the whole
or greater portion of the soil covering. Tho
material which is withdrawn frqni tho bur
row is accumulated about its mouth. Tho
result is tho overt urning of a considcrablo
amount of the earth ami a consequent com
mingling of tho material with vegetable
matter. When brought to the surfaeo and
left exposed to tho action of frost the break
ing up of tho material is greatly favored, and
thus the formation of the soil is facilitated.
Considcrablo as is the effect of burrowing
mammals, tho principal overturning of the
earth in our primeval forests is accomplished
by tho invertebrate animals. AV'hero the
woods aro not very dense, and particularly
where the sod 13 somewhat sandy, our largest
species of auts are very effective agents in
working over tho soil. Their burrows extend
to the depth of somo feet below tho surface,
and each hill brings to the air several cubic
feet of excavated matter, which, as slight in
spection shows, is much commingled with
vegetable matter. Wherever these ant hiiis
aliound tbey commonly exist to the number
of a scoro or moro on each acre, and the oc
cupants of each hill, in many cases, bring a
much as a cubic foot of matter to the surface
in the courso of a single year. The action of
rain constantly operates to diffuse this ma
terial on every sido of the hill. Wo may often
observe a thin layer of sediment extending
for a considerable distance from the elevation.
As is well known to all those who have in
spected the soil within virgin forests, tho
earth is occupied by a host of larval insects,
principally belonging to tho group of beetles,
but including also many orthoptcrous insects.
These creatures in the course of their life un
derground displace a good deal of soil, a por
tion of which is thrown upon the surface, the
greater part, however, being merely dislodged
beneath tho surface. The effect, however, ia,
to commingle and to break up the soil, and
thus favor its comminution. Although tho
roots of trees do by far tho larger part of tho
rending which is accomplished in the sod
layer, they do not bring about much com
mingling of tho soil.
Where tho woods are wet and favor the de
velopment of the crayfish tho effect of this
group of animals on the overturning of tho
sod is extremely great. It probably exceeds,
that which is accomplished in our ordinary
fields by tho jtction of tho earthworm. A
single crayfish will often bring in the course
of a single season's activity not less than half
a cubic foot of earthy matter to the surface.
In certain districts where these animals
abound there appear to bo not less than 1,000
to each acre of surface. If such bo their
number it is evident that not less than C00
cubic feet of matter is brought to the surface
from a considerable depth in tho course of a
year. As this matter is generally of a rather
fine nature and easily dissolved in water it
rapidly washes away and forms a thm sheet
on the surface, I am inclined to believe thai
largo areas of our wet woods and tho ojen
border lands along our streams arc completely
overturned to the depth of two feet or- more
iu tha course of half a century by the actions,
of those animals.
In open grounds, in natural prairies or
grass plains, the smaller species of ants are
extremely effective agents in overturning
the soils. Wherever the ground remains for
some time vjnplowed it becomes qcciipipd by
these creatures. In the sandy soils of east?
era Massachusetts tho overturning accom
plished by these creatures assumes a geologi
cal importance. For many years I have
been puzzled by tho fact that the glacial
terraces and plains of this region were ex
tensively covered to the depth of a foot or
more by a coating of fine sand and very
small pebbles, wtilq below tha depth of a
foot pebbles of larger size aro very numer
ous, and the spaces between them but im- !
perfectly occupied with any material. ' It is j
obviously impossible to explain these condi- j
tions through the action of earth worms, far
tho reason that these creatures are rarely
found in 6oils of this description. Froiri i
much observation I have become conviueed '
that (.his pouting pi 3andy material is tu a j
great extent to be explained by the action of I
various species of ants, in the forest condi- :
tioa by tho work cf tho larger black ants, .
and in the condition of open plains by that ,
of the spaller species. Professor X. S. Sha
