How Maidens of Sicily Get Husbands.

The following is a description of a
scene which goes on every Sunday
morning in the hospital at Palermo:
The long dormitories were clean
and orderly, but the curious and pc
culiar feature of this establishment
was the pariatorio, or reception-room.
Picture large. long room the greater
portion of which is divided off from
the sides and further end by an iron
grating which forms cage, entered
only by a well-bar-ed street door,
through which visitors from the outer
world are admitted.
Here they sit on benches to converse
with those on the other side of the
iron grating. Once in a week, how
ever, Sunday mornings, from ten to
twelve, this place IS the scene of the
most novel and ludicrous csurtships
ever described. One of the objects of
tins motherly establishment Is TO find
Fit and proper husbands for the girls
under its charge. The fit and proper
here is much like the fit and proper OF
society-the one requisite being that
the young is bound to show himself
In possession of sufficient means To
maintain a wife in comfort before he
is allowed to aspire 20 the hand of one
of those precious d2Esels.

How Flies Walk on Glass.
Dr. j E. Rombouts to Popular Science Monthly
for MAY.

for May.
have concluded from nv expert
ments that it is not the pressure of the
air nor the power of an, adhesive
LIQUID that gives flies the faculty of
running over smooth bodies, but that
the power should be attributed to the
molecular action between solid and
LIQUID bodies; or, in other words, to
capillary adhesion.
If we examine the under part of the
pulvilli with a microscope, we shall
see distinctly that it is furnished with
numerous hairs, regularly distributed.
These nairs terminate, at their lower
end, in kind of bulb, the form of
which varies. whence flows an oily
liquid that dries slowly and does not
harden for long time. The minute
drops left on the glars by the hairs
may be taken away, even after two or
three days have passed, without our
having to moisten them, by simply
rubbing piece of fine paper over
them. l have devised an apparatus
for collecting these drops by cutting a
hole in a piece of board over which I
fix glass slide. Turning the board
so that the glass shall be at the bot
TEN, l have a little cell with a glass
floor. With the aid of a piece of pa
per gummed to the wings [ introduce
a fly into this cavity in such man
ner that the pulvilli shall rest upon
the floor. Then putting the board
under the microscope with the glass
slide uppermost, we have the hy's feet
under our eyes. The insect, strug
Cling for liberty, places his pulvilli
against the glass, and leaves after
each effort traces that may be OBJ
served very distinctly, for they are
perfectly visible in a good light.
We may discover, whenever the
feet of the fly come again into contact
with these tracks of minute drops,
that they are composed of a very
liquid substance, for they spread quite
readily on the glass. We can not ad-
NIT, as some naturalists assume, that
the liquid can hold the club shaped
hair-ends by suction, and would take
the form of a disk. The fly puts its
feet down and lifts them up with an
Incompatible faculty that would not
exist of the limb were really acted
upon by the pressure of the air.
