How Flies Climb.

Popular Science Monthly.
Herr II. DEWITT has communica
ted to the Berlin Society Of natural
history some facts that bear very
strongly against the generally re-
ceived theory that flies adhere to
perpendicular walls and ceilings by
virtue of some sucking power in
their feet. He asserts that the feet
OF flies cannot possess the sucking
property ascribed to them, for they
are hard aud destitute Of muscles.
The theory has long been contra
dicted by the experience OF Black
we'll, who found that flies could
climb the sides OF a jar under the
receiver of an air pump, where
there was no atmospheric pressure,
and who asserted that the power OF
adherence was due to a sticky mat
ter secreted from the foot hairs Of
the flies. This assertion was gen
orally regarded as not proved, aud
the case has rested there. DEWITT
reports that bis Investigations havo
shown that Blackwell was right.
He has watched the exhudatlon Of
the sticky matter from the feet Of
the flies by fastening enc of the in
sects to the underside of a plato Of
glass and viewing it under the mi.
croscope. A perfectly clear liquid
!. was seen to How from the ends Of
the fo0t.hairs and attach the foot
g to the glass. When the foot was
: lifted up, to be put down in another
+ place, the drops OF the sticky mat
: ter were perceived to he left on the
glass, IN the exact places where the
foot hairs had rested. The adhe-
y sivc fluid appears to pass down
: through the hollow of the hair, aud
, to be derived from glands which
Leydig discovered in the folds OF
the foot iu 1850. A similar adhe
!. sive matter appears to be possessed
by bugs, by many larvae, aud proba
bly, by all insects that climb the
> stems and the under sides Of the
leaves Of plants.
