How Flies Climb.

Herr H. DEWITT has communicated to
the Berlin society Of Natural History
some facts that bear very strongly
against the generally received theory
that flies adhere to perpendicular walls
and ceilings BY vi.tue Of some sucking
power in their feet. He asserts that
the feet of flies cannot possess the suck.
ing property ascribed to them, for they
are hard and destitute Of muscles. The
theory has long been contrndicted by
the experiments Of Blackwell, who
found that flies could climb the sides Of
Jar under the receiver aud an air
pump. where there was no atmospheric
pressure, and who asserted that the
power Of adherence was due to sticky
matter secreted from tho foot-hairs Of
flies This assertion was generally re-
garded - not proved. and the csss has
rested there. DEWITT reports that his
investigations have shown that Black.
we'll was right. He has watched the ex-
udstion Of the sticky matter from the
feet Of the fies by fastening one Of the
insects TO the plate Of glass and view
ing Il under the microscope. A per-
fectly cIesr liquid was seen to flow from
the ends Of The foot hairs and attach
The loot to the glass. When the foot
was lifted up to be pat down in another
place The. drops Of the sticky matter
were perceived to be left on the glass
ia the exact places where the foot-hairs
hsd.ressed. The adhesive fluid appears
to pass down through the hollow Of the
hair and to be derived from glands
which Leydig discovered in 1859. A
similar adhesive matter appears to be
possessed by bugs. by many larve,
and probably by all insects that climb
the stems and the under sides Of the
leaves Of plants. = Popular Science
