the years from 1919 to 1881 are the sub
ject Of late Parliamentary return. In
1919, so, 40 pcrsohs were evicted, IF
whom $40 were readmitted. In 1859
the eviciions rose to 104, 1863, and the re-
admissions to 81, 292. Since that period
she number rapidly fell, till in 1860 they
only amounted to 1885. They, how
ever, again increase d, and, in 1864, 9,20l
persons were evicted. There was again
falling of, aud. in 1869, the lowest
number was reached, when 1,7il per-

The speed at which some wings ere

The speed at which some wings ere
driven is enormous. 1t is occasionally
so great as to cause the pinions to emit
q drumming sound. To this source the
buzz of the fly, the drone OF the bee and
the boom of the beetle are to bereferred.
When u grouse, partridge or pheasant
suddenly springs into the air, tire sound
produced by the whirring of its wings
greatly resembles that produced by the
contact of steel with the rapidly-revolv-
ing stone of the knife gr nder. 1t has
been estimated that the common fly
moves its wings $50 times Ter second

the butterfly moves ITS y rs me times
