The Fly On the Ceiling.

How the fly supports itself in opposition
to the laws of gravitation is one of the
first questions that the juvenile philoso-
pher undertakes to solve As his small
stock Of science is not sufficient to enable
him to master the mystery, he cOnsults a
b >ok or questions friend. From one or
the other Of these he learns that the insect
supports itself by means of tubular. shaped
vessels which enable it to exhaust the air
from beneath its feet when they are press.
ed against surface. This being done the
upward pressure of the atmosphere holds
the insect in its place The simple little
piece Of apparatus known as the "suckcr,"
is designed to illustrate how fly supports
itself from ceiling.
Recent Investigation, however, seem to
clearly show that visciu fluid and not an
atmosphere pressure is the means whereby
a fly can walk on a ceiling. The follow
Ing would seem to be convincing proofs of
this tll' Dry: An insect was chlorOfo1ned
to prevent its relinquishing its hold, and
being in a receiver the air was exhausted,
but it still kept its place. Every foot step
leaves mark on the surface of clean
piece of glass that can be distinguished
with microscope The existence and
sccretions of this fluid being thus clearly
proven, it is plain that it would interfere
with any attempt at suction; and it seems
certain that exhaustion of air and the
secretion of this fluid could not go on at
one and the same time, through one set of
vessels. This fluid is very tenacious, and
nearly insoluhc In all probability it is
the material that so often holds flies and
other insects so securely to the place
where they spent the night that they can

ounces. Mix the glycerine and white OF
egg thoroughly IN mortar, and gradually
add the arnica. Apply freely on rags

She leaned ont from tho lattice

The sun was OH the hll-tops,
The dew was on the thorn;

And crowned her the queen OF maidcns
As he came riding down.
Tie Oh cked his horses gallop

For flower that blooms always.
"Whcre she blossoms surely can find her,

And life of its glory seemed shorn,

COrkiDg Bottles from the Inside.

A NEW kind of soda water bottles is
now rapidly taking the place of the ones
hitherto commonly in use, and will by
next season, no doubt, be generally adopt
ed everywhere where soda water is bottled.
1t is q fact, to which all in this business
testify, that one of the principal expenses
in bottling soda water, ETC., is the cost of
he cork. The expense of corks for
bottle used the average number of times
during one season, largely exceeds the
cost Of the bottle, as the cork serves but
once, and is then lost Besides, in conse
quence OF defective corks, much. leakage
ensucs, causing loss Of labor and material
Securing corks in the bottle by means of
wires or strings also adds largely to the
cost. 1t has, therefore, long been de.
slderatum with the manufacturers and
bottlers of soda water, to find q substitute
for corks which could serve more etfectu-
ally than these, and then remain attached
to the bottle, and serve to close it num-
Der Of times, OK, in fact, as long as the bot
tie itself should last. After many expert
ments, this was at last practically accom-
plished by having stopper made Of glass,
or some other material, which closes the
bottle from the inside, and is of such a
size that it cannot escape with the liquid
through the neck the bottle, but must
always remain inside ready for use This
new patent bottle is, therefore, closed from
the inside. The stopper, being somewhat
longer than the internal diameter of the
bottle, cannot turn over, and the proper
end Of it is thus always presented TO the
mouth Of the bottle. This, while in an in
verified position, is filled by a machine in
vented for the purpose. Being chiefly
composed of hard wood or glass, heavier
than the liquid in the bottle, the stopper
falls readily to its seat and is here sustain
cd by the inside pressure Of the water,
when the bottle is full The greater the
pressure, the tighter the stopper fits, and
leakage is thus rendered impossible Be-
sides, this bottle has the advantage over
the old style, that no instrument, knife, etc.,
is required to open it and remove the cork.
A smart blow with the hand upon the TOP
of the stopper, which protrudes about
half an inch over the mouth of the bottle,
causes it to fall to the bottom, and the in
closed liquid is at once liberated, without
any failure or tedious efforts to get the
cork out To prove its practicability, we
opened quite number Of bottles filled
with soda water and wines impregnated
with carbonic acid gas and corked in this
novel manner, which seemed to us entire

This Is an irritation or Inflammation of the
bronchial tubes, which carry the air we

settled in the throat, from Catarrh extending

from severe use of the voice. The irritation
from this latter cause commences in the
laryran and glotis, which are the organs of the
voice, and, extending downwards, produces
hoarsehess, coughing, and splitting mucous
