HOW HOUSE FLIES DIE.
A Kind of Fungus That Makes Hav
with These Annoying Pests.

with These Annoying Pests.
Like many other insects, house flies are
subject to the attacks of a parasitic fungus
which destroys great numbers of them, es-
pecially toward the end of autumn. We
sometimes see the corpses ofsuch that have
met this fate glued to the window-panes
in the attitude of life, with legs widely
spread and wings raised as if in prepare
ton for flight, but with white halo
on the glass all around them, and with
bodies pale, unhealthy-looking and
distended. The spores Of the fungus,
which are excessively minute and are
present in the air, are carried against the
fiy's body, and such as strike its under sur
face may become adherent, when each
which penetrates the skin and enters the
body.
Once here, its hosts doom is certain,
says Knoscledge, for it meets with suitable
nourishment in the shape of the fluids of
the fy's body, by aid of which it will
speedily propagate itself until its victim,
drained of its life's support, finally sue
cumbs. The thread-like tube first pro-
duces series of detached, rounded bodies,
something like the cells of the yeast plant.
These cells (which have an indefinite power
of STANDARDIZATION, are carried by the
blood to all parts of the body, and thus the
disease spreads. They, in their turn give
rise to a number of branching tubular
threads. similar to those of the earlier
stage, which in the process of time
penetrates the skin. Each thread which
thus makes its appearance outside
gives rise to sort Of head, which con-
tains spores like those with which
the series started. These are cast off with
considerable force, and multitudes of them
no doubt perish, while others are ulti-
mately waited against the bodies of other
flies. to deal destruction among them as
among their predecessors.
The particular species Of fungus which
makes havoc with the house fly is called
empusa musce, and is one of group which
are distinguished by their habit of sub
sisting upon living insects The matu-
ration of the fungus involves the death
of the fly, the fluids of whose body serve
as food for the parasite. Under its
attack the fly becomes gradually feebler
and finally quite unable to move, and then
the viscid secretion from the pads on
the feet hardens and CLUES the insect to
the surface to which it is clinging, while
the fungus spreads round it and leaves
some of its spores adhering so as to form
| the halo above described.

A rather unusual marriage ceremony
was performed in Shapleigh, Me-, the other
day, according to the Springfield Adpocate.
Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel E. Shackley were
married thirteen years ago, and soon after
the wedding the clergymen who united
them died. Recently Mrs. Shackley, not
having any marriage certificate, became
uneasy, instituted inquiries and found that
no legal record existed. So she deter
mined to have the ceremony performed
anew and properly recorded, and this was
done. The wedding was in the presence
of invited guests and not even the cake was
omitted.
