The Tunnel Route.

The Fitchburg railroad company have
made eight different surveys from Fitch
burg to Greenfield for a route that will
smooth out the wrinkle at Ashburnham
and also meet the tunnel business the es-
timated costs varying from $4,000 to
$4,000. BY the Ashburnham and Parker
station survey, Fitchburg loses much bust
ness from Gardner, Templeton and Bald
winsville, butthc new route would perfect
the main tunnel line, and will probably be
the one adopted cost half million. The
company has just built a new freight house
at Boston for the tunnel business, and ar
rangements have been made with the New
York Central line for through business and
mutual equipment.

THE MISSION OF THE FLY.

"Why are flies p has been perpetual query
with housekeepers and persons who would
take noon.day maps in hot weather. The
question has been answered by Mr.. Emerson
an English chemist, whose experiments are re-
corded in the Scientific american. In the
light of the revelations Of that gentleman's
investigations, the fly assumes the position Of
an important friend instead of pest to man
kind.
Did you ever watch fly who has just
alighted after soaring about the room for some
little time? He goes through series of ope'
rations which reminds you of cat licking
herself after meal, or of bird pluming its
feathers. First, the hind feet are rubbed to-
gether, then each hind leg is passed over a
wing then the fore legs undergo like treat.
ment and lastly, if you look sharp, you will
see the insect carry bis proboscis over his legs
and about his body as far as he can reach.
The minute trunk is perfectly retractile, and
it terminates in two large lobes which you
can see spread out when the insect begins q
meal on lump ofsugar. Now, the rubbing
together of legs and wings may be smooth
ing operation but for what purpose is this
carefully going over the body with the trunk,
especially when that organ is not fitted for
licking, but simply for grasping and sucking
up food.
Mr.. Emerson states that he began his self:
appointed task of finding out whether the
house-hy really serves any appreciable pur'
pose in the scheme of creation, excepting as

AN AFFECTING CAsE-The many freaks
of physical in6rmity show nothing stranger
than instantaneous blindness or deafness, or
their immediate cure. But cases of the kind
are we'll auth :atcated. The following is told
in Nashville paper. We recently heard
remarkable and touching story of a little boy,
the son of gentleman in an adjoining coun-
ty. His age is twelve or thirteen. He is an
interesting and promising lad. One day, du-
ring the past winter, be failed to rise in the
morning as early as usual At length his
father went to the room where he lay, and
asked him why he did not get up. He said
it seemed dark vet, and he was waiting tor
daylight. His father retired, but the boy not
making his appearance for some time, he re-
turned, and said second time
"My son, why don't you get up?'
"Father, is it daylight" he asked.
"Yes, long ago."
"Then, father" the little fellow said, 81 am
blind"
And so it was. His sight was gone
In a short time his father took him to Nash
Vile to get the benefit of the medical profes..
sion there but none Of the physicians could
do anything for him, and happily made no
experiments on his eyes, Some ladies in
family of his fathers acquaintance sought to
cheer him in his affliction, and one night pro-
posed to take him to the opera, that he might
hear the music and singing He went and
was delighted.
In the course of the performance, all at
once he leaped up, threw his arms around his
fathers neck, and screamed with ecstacy-
90, father! I can see"
His sight had instantly returned. Since
then he has retained it in full vigor, except
that under excitement there is sometimes a
transient dimness of vision. The case is one
of remarkable and singular character.

time to call the propretors together; and
when he did call them, had no intention OF
showing the petitioners any favors or remov'
ing any of the grievances Of which they COM
planned. John Archdale, one of the proprie-
tors, and at one time Governor of Carolina,
was, from principle, opposed to the acts which
the Assembly had passed. He and Somers
quarreed, when Somers declared, in an angry
tone: II am for this bill, and this is the party
that will head and countenance."
When Boone requested that he might make
his statement, Somers, (Lord Granville,) re-
piled II will do as see 6t." The end was
approaching. The people of England were
incensed at the high-handed measure of ap-
pointing lay commission, which, to all in
tents and purposes, was direct thrust at the
Bishop of London. "The Society for the
Propagation of the Gospel" which had done
much to support the gospel in the colony Of
Carolina, met and passed resolution to send
no more assistance to the colony in Carolina,
until the clause of the act establishing lay
commission, should be repealed.
Boone, thwarted in his efforts to obtain re-
dress for injuries received at the hands Of the
proprietors, placed his case in the hands OF
the House of Lords. These saw in the colo
NAL laws respecting religion, much that was
not granted by the original charter, and much
that was subversive of the English Constitu-
tion. The petition was examined as carefully
as the short time of the session would allow,
and then presented to the Queen for her ex-
animation. In April, 1905, the whole matter
was referred to the Board Of Trade. The
lawyers of the crown declared that the acts
establishing Episcopacy in South Carolina
ought to be repealed, and that the proprietors
had forfeited their charter, and recommended
that it be annulled. All that saved the char.
ter to the proprietors was the fact that they
were peers of the realm. On the 10th of
June, the Queen Of England nulli6ed the en-
actments of johnson, Moore, Trott, and few
others, who composed the oligarchy of South
Carolina.

BENEFIT OF PA1N.-Life would be Sc.
ries of disasters, without the warning voice of
pain. Infancy would be MANNED or perish be.
fore experience could inform it of its danger.
Lord Kaimes advised parents to cut the hng-
ers of their children "cunningl y" with knife,
that the little innocents might associate suf-
fering with the glittering blade before they
could do themselves worse injury; but if no
smart accompanied the wound, they would
cut up their own fingers with the same glee
that they cut. up stick, and burn them in
candle with the same delight that they burn
piece of paper in the fire. Without pain
we could not proportion our actions to the
strength of our frames, or our exertlons to Its
powers of endurance. In the impetuosity OF
youth, we should strike blows that would
crush our hands and break our arms; we
should take leaps that would dislocate our
limbs, and, no longer taught by fatigue that
the muscles needed repose, we should contln'
ue our sports and our walking-tours till we
had worn out the living tissues with the same
Inconsistencies that we now wear out our
coat and shoes. The very nutriment which
is the support of life would frequently prove
our DEATH Mirabeau said of man, who was
as idle as he was corpulent, that his only use
was to show how far the skin would stretch
without bursting. Without pain this limit
would be constantly exceeded, and epicures,
experiencing no uneasy sensations, would con-
tinue their festivities until they met with the
fate of the frog in the fable, who was ambi-
tious of emulatiDg the size of the OK. An
eminent physician mentions the case of a gen.
tleman who had lost the sense of heat in his
right hand, and who, unconscious that the
cover of pan which had fallen into the fire
was burning hot, took it out and deliberately
returned it to its proper place, to the destruc'
ton of the skin Of the palm and fingers. This
of itself would be an accident of incessant oc.
currence if the monitor we're wanting which
makes us drop such things quicker than we
pick them up. Pain is grand preserver of

an Indifferent scavenger, by capturing fine

offending insect to be promptly released and
another substituted in his place. Fly No. z

same might be predicated of flies 8, 4. 5, Cor of

son concluded that here was something which
at once required looking into. Why were the
flies lousy? Meanwhile, fly No. 2, on the
slide, seemed to take his position very coolly,
and extending his proboscis, began to sweep
it over his body as if he had just alighted. A
glance through the microscope, however,
showed that the operation was not one OF
Standardization, for wherever the lice were
there the trunk went. The lice were disap-
pearing into the trunk; the fly was eating
them.
He took the paper into the kitchen and
waved taround, taking care thatno flies touch
ed it, went back to the microscope and there
found animalcules, the same as on flies. He
had now arrived at something definite; the
animalcules were floating in the air; and the
quick motions of the flies gathered them on
their bodies, and the flies then went into some
quiet corner to have their dainty meal.
The investigator goes on to describe how
he continued the experiment in variety of
localities, and how, in dirty and bad.smelling
quarters, he found the myriads Of flies which
existed there literally covered with animal
cules, while other flies, captured in bed rooms
or well-ventilated, clean apartments, were
miserably lean and entirely free from their
prey. Wherever filth existed, evolving germs
which might germinate disease, there were
the flies, covering themselves with the minute
organisms and greedily devouriug the same.
