How Flies Walk on the Ceiling.
From the ST. Louis Republic.

1t is curious how the understanding of
many common and apparently simple
things becomes modified by fuller investi-
CATION, The Did air-pump theory of how
Hi1s walk on the ceiling, which you will
remember was given in one of our old
school books. is now regarded as fallacious
According to tle old theory the bottom of
the fy's foot adhered by suclon, thus
pressing out all air be leath it, the pressure
on the hy's body holding him in place.
But flies have baen known to walk on the
inside surface of the glass receiver of an
air-pump after all the air had been ex-
hausted, which shows they do not need
tn pressure of the air to hold them in
place.
Moreover, microscopic examination of
tiy's foot clearly diSproves the sucker"
theory, for the foot cushion is covered with
hairs that preYe t all close contact with
glass or smooth walls
A later theory, propounded by Hooke, was
that flies stick TO polished surfaces by means
of a viscous substance exuded from the
hairs on their feet.
The Hooke theory was thoroughly investi-
gated about ten years ago by DR.. Rom
bouts, who demonstrated that it was only
partly sound, for although these hairs do
exude an oily liquid, the liquid is not sticky,
and does not harden when dried. 1t is to
DIR. Rombouts experiments that science
owes what is now regarded as the true
theory Of flies walking on smooth perpen-
dicular walls, and substances of like char
acter.
DIR, Rombout says that they adhere by
the help 4 capillary adhesion-the molec-
ular attraction between solid and liquid
bodies. BY series OF nice calculations,
such as weighing hairs and measuring their
diameter, aud sticking the ends OF the hair

The average running expenses OF a cruiser
Of 1,5O0 tons are estimated at IS, 600 per
month for every 100 men and the officers
necessary 10 command them. The average
monthly pay of the officers is
$500; to which must be added about
$3.50 a month for commuJed rations at
30 cents per day. While engaged in
active cruising, the cost of coal alone win
average $1,000 per month, and during
some cruises much more. It will be seen,
therefore, that when Uncle Sam sends an
ordinary cruiser to ''sail the ocean blue"
he NUT first put into her an armament
worth, with its stores, $4,000 or more,
$1,000 worth of charts, $4,000 worth of
navigating instruments, $1,000 worth of
coal, together with SAG, 700 orth OF other
stores, and several thousand dollars in cash.
making total cruising plant worth from
$75O,OO0 upward, and sustain an outlay of
about $4,000 per month for running ex-
penses IN addition. Some idea can thus be
gained of the loss Of the government should

sunk in actio1, and of the burden of re-
sponsibllity resting upon the shoulders of
the commanding officer and the paymaster.

ConstdntinoDle Letter in Nashville american.
The Mohammedan women must attract
the attention of the christian stranger by
their almost ghostlike appearance, moving
about noiselessly, enshrouded in a garb
from crown to sole, which entirely conceals
contour of form and expression of face, the
eyes alone being free to gaze around at
pleasure. | hear this fashion has been re.
Gently inaugurated, perhaps by those VINO
have sparkling black eyes and are not hor-
rItied at the idea of exposing them to the
gaze and admiration of the infidel The old
style, still adhered to by the most devout
believers, is different, the robe being fast
ened under the chin and the face concealed
by thin gauze-like veil; this is much more
becoming, and allows the curious
a partial view of the Turkish female
countenance. 1t certainly shows the lady
off to more advantage. She can and gen

from behind her lowered veil, without 50
much danger of being detected in the fraud

Turkish Circassian and Georgian women
are no longer publicly inspected, admired,
criticised and sold at auction to the highest
bidder, but sales are still privately effected.
A few days since several Geor ian
women, wives of a wealthy pasha, passed
me on the street, a tended by their Ethio-
plan servants. The tnin-ti ted wells en-
abied me to distinguish their handsome
features and excited an inquiry of my
guide as TO their history, and was Informed
that they were a recenr cargo from Georgia,
where they had been purchased by the
pasha's agent. How distressing it must be
for the poor mountain peasant, in order to
keep the wolf, starvation, from the door, to
be compelled to sacrifice his beautiful
daughter, just blooming into young
womanhood, and to be ever after haunted
with the consci BUSINESS that sac may be the
debauched slave of some sensual master.
A Moslem may furnish his harem with as
many wives as he is financially able to
support and no more, thus accounting for
the fact that some have 80 an so Nc more.

Color of the Ocean.
From the Onsahe Bee.

The green color of ocean water demands
upon the number of medusse and other
minute animal forms which inhabit if. The
deep green northern seas literally swarm
with these miniature creatures; in some
places as many as 12S of them have been
found in a single cubic inch of water. In
this proportion a cubic foot of water would
contain 22l, 1S4, a cubic fathom A, us. ia
and a cubic mile AZ, ne, GOO, 900 900. From
soundings made in the vicinity of
where these creatures are found
in such immense numbers it il
probable that the waters will aver
age mile in depth; whether these forms
occupy the whole depth is uncertain.
Provided, however, that the depth to which
they extend is but $50 fathoms, the above
immense numbers of one species may occur
within space Of one mile square II NAV
give a better conception Of the immense
number of medusae in this extent if wa
calculate the length Of time that would be
requisite for a certain number OF persons to
count this number. Allowing that one
person could count 1,000,000 in seven DAYS.
which is barely possible, even at this rapid
rate it would have been necessary for S0. -

The Volcano house at Kilauea has

best pieces, to the great delight of ALL

his presence often.
Mr.. Baldwin and Mr.. Chamberlain
have gone on top of Maunakea to do

Professors Jenkins and Pratt, and
another professor have walked to Kilauea

now bids fair to become fashionable, as
the example has been set and is Just

eXertion.
The Hilo Literary and Musical Club

one to all. No pains were spared to give
