around the room in the dark. straddling
rocking-chairs and breaking his shins on
bureau corners. and knocking down
brackets with his shoulders and upsetting
one or two things. and filling the darkness
with weird, fantastic profanity. When his

newspaper correspondent describes a
curious phenomenon which recently fell
under his observation. His attention was
attracted 10 q snake. or " army-w0rm as
he called il. which was about ten feet in
length. an inch through in the middle and
tapering gradually u both ends. IL was
moving along slowly. but on coming to a
stone. what was the observer amaZement
az seeing the head divide in two or three
and subsequently, reunite into one. Onex-
aiming this hydra-headed serpent more
closely II proved 10 be made Of an infinite
number Of small worms, about three
eighths Of an inch long and NOT thicker
than pin. The extremities OF the snake
tapercd down TO a single worm. On this
two or three were Tapped Tor two-thirds OF
its length. On these still others were
Tapped. and 80 or Until the whole thickness
Was attained. which extended several feet.
This phenomenon j. not unique. IL j.
known 10 natsralists. but has been noted
more frequently in Europe than in the
United States. The army-worm under
notice was probably composed OF the Larvae
Of fiy belonging 10 the genus SciarG.
These larya, or worms a. they would BE-
popularity termed. have a curious propen-
sity 20 cling together in dense masses !;
and. when fully grown, they oca sionally
march IN PROFESSIONS several fretlOng, two
or three inches broad, and half an inch in
thickness. The Germans give the snake

Prof. ID. T.. Cope describes. in a paper
included in the proceedings Of the Phila-
delphia Academy Of Natural Sciences for
ls5s, a procession of species Of the Sciara.
which was observed in September in Ches-
ter County. Pennsylvania. This company
consisting. by rough estimation, of about
= 400 extended over length Of about %

deep In thicker parts. They advanced at
the rate If four inches in five minutes. the
hinder ones working their way over the
top Of the rest. These Larvae were about
one-half OF an inch long. semi-transparent
and with black heads. The same observer
saw another procession July :, which was
six feet six inches long. Similar trains
have been seen " different persons in this

fected and nervous than did Winner,
the young, boyish chap who shared
the same chain with him, even as they
had shared and committed together
the crime ofwhich they stand convict
ed. Winner has handsome face, light
curly hair, and looks to be about
eighteen years of age. Not single
trace of the criminal about him, except
in the restless eve and reckless manner
which sweeps away all thoughts of his
innocence after one has had time TO
lock him over thoroughly. During
his short stay at the depot he pulled
away unconcernedly at a cigar, and
one would suppose, from his looks and
bearing, that he was going to picnic
instead of the prelude of his death.
