10 the brain. There is no foundation
for these beliefs, as the flies congregate
on the bases of the horns only to rest
where they are not liable to be disturbed.
Where they have been clustering thicl1ly
on the horns the latter become fly
specked" and appear at little distance
as though they might be damaged, and
1t is doubtless this fact which has given
rise to erroneous opinions cited.
The flies lay their eggs during the
warmer part of the day, between nine a.
m. and four p. M, and mainly between
nine and noon, in the dung Of the ami
mails as soon as 1t is dropped The eggs
are laid singly, never in clusters. In
less than twenty-four hours the Larvae
are Matched and descend into the dung,
remaining, however, near its surface.
When ready to change into pupa the
larvae evidently descend from the dung
into the ground below, from a half to
three-fourths of an inch. Actual OBJ
seryations were made on larve in dung

the Larvae Where tho dung has been
dropped upon hard ground, the probable
tiles are that they do not enter so deep

dung. In from ten 10 seventeen days, or
on an average two weeks from the time
the egg is laid. the perfect fly energies,
and as there are four active breeding
months MAY Is to September 15) there
are therefore eight generations in
year.
The flies seem to appear in greatest
abundance in July and remain until
right cold weather" Careful study of
the insects in the field show that they
assume two characteristic positions, one
while feeding and the other while rest
ing. 1t is the resting position Qllus-
trated herewith in which they are al
ways found when upon the horns. In
this position the wings are held nearly
fiat down the back, overlapping at base
and diverging only moderately at tip.
The beak is held in nearly horizontal
position and the legs are not widely
spread. In the active sucking position,
however, the wings are slightly elevated
and held out from the body at about an
angle ofsixty degrees from the abdomen.
The legs are spread out widely, and the
beak, inserted beneath the skin of the
animal, is held in nearly perpendicu-
lar position. The fly, before inserting
its beak, has worked its way through
the hair close to the skin.
While feeding, however, the hairs
which can be seen over its body do not
seem TO interfere with it's speedy fight
when alarmed, for at fling of the
tail or an impatient turn of the head the
flies rise instantly in a cloud for foot

1t was first noticed in 1887 in Cam

MARYLAND, and the next year it had
spread rapidly in that State and Viz

advanced far enough to draw definite
conclusion, but what is known seems
''to indicate that it is South European

sections are Texas Fly" Buffalo

Fly" but the popular name here
adopted, s'Horn Fly" has the sanction
of common usage.
The most prominent of the popular
errors is the belief that the fly damages
the horn, eats into its substance, causes
it to rot and even lays eggs in it which
hatch into maggots and may penetrate

LOOKING FOR JORLETTE.
A Detective Tells a Pretty Good
Story on Himself

Jorlette will be on board the half past
seven O'Clock mail train. Follow him 10

sharp. CATHcARr.
This was the wording Of the telegram
received one wet, ugly night last De-
cember. was sitting in my little snug
gerry back of my Office before a blazing
CRATE with my feet in slippers and my
body in warm dressing-gown. had
a mug of hot punch and cold mince
pie on the table before me, along with
an uncut novel and a genuine Havana,
with which intended to regale myself
presently. And although ! had very
strong anxiety to secure Jorlette, it
must be confessed that was altogether
too comfortably situated to relish going
out into the cold that dismally dirty
night.
This telegram was from my chief,
who, might as we'll say, was a detect
i've, and l had followed that thankless
and precarious business for several
years. People considered me very sue
cessful in working up difficult cases, but
was never quite satisfied with myself.
This same Jorlette had given us a
great deal of trouble. We had never
had so keenly cunning spirit to cope
with. Strategy was matched with STRAIT
egg, diplomacy with diplomacy, and
scores of times, when we were sure of
him, he had slipped from under our fin
gers like a flea and left us wondering
how he managed it.
Perhaps it would be well to explain
that Pierre Jorlette was murderer,
upon whose head was set a purse of
a2, 1000 by the crown. A Frenchman and
nobleman by birth, gentleman by edu-
cation, he had when very young married
beautiful English girl, with whom he
passed two years of unalloyed happi-
ness. At the end of that time some
fearful shadow came between them
none knew Of what nature-and the in
human husband stabbed his wife to the
heart Her confidential maid witnessed
the deed and attempted to save the life of
her mistress, but Jorlette fell upon her
with savage ferocity and left the two
corpses lying side by side.
These are the facts as briefly as can
state them to you. OF course, there are
many minor circumstances not worth
recording, as they have little bearing
upon the short story am writing.
1t seemed from this telegram that
Jorlette was to be on the 1880 train. l

SOME face that l saw-clearly cut, with
large halle eyes shaded by long, dark
lasbes, mouth delicate and sensitive

curls of auburn hair, form rather

metrical and rounded as wonan's.
The picture woEld have answered
splendidly for that of a sentimental,
concentrating poet-but for murderer
it was a dead failure. Nevertheless

seatbed him, Jorlette had set for it.

about the base of the horn (shown here
With seems to exist only when the flies
are quite abundant. When they average
only hundred or SO to single animal
comparatively few will be found on the
horns. Moreover, as general thing,
the horn-clustering habit seems to be
more predominant earlier in the season
than later, though the flies may seem to
be nearly as numerous. The clustering
upon the horns, although it has excited
considerable alarm, is not productive Of
the slightest harm to the animal. They
usually settle thickly near the base Of
the horn, after forming complete band
for two inches or more. They seem to
prefer the concave to the convex curve
of the horn, probably for the reason that
the cow can not scrape them off so

About Municipal bonds.
Kansas City, Kansas, Gazette,

hhnSus Oity, hunSaS, OuLetV'
The Fort Scott Monitor, edited by
w. M. Rice, nlember-elect of the leg
islature, suggests the only sway OUT
that has as yet been found TO work.
All laws authorizing the creation OF
any Indebtedness except for building
school houses should be wiped out
This would strengthen the various
classes OF Kansas municipal securities
SO that an act refund 'ng all into four
per cent loans could easily follow.
The total county, city, township and
school district Indebtedness OF Kansas,
incurred for railroads, bridges, school
houses and water works, approximates
$37, lis, 977.33, and at 6 per cent it costs
annually 1927, 1888. All this prin-
cipal becomes due within the next
twenty years, which, it is argued, will
make too heavy drain on the people.
With q limit placed on the power
to create Indebtedness the bonds out
could be very easily and favorably re-
funded into thirty and fifty year
bonds. There are two classes of i'll
debtedness that should be stopped,
railroad bonds by counties aud towns,
and water works bonds by any city
under twenty or twenty five thousand
population. In the hard times of 1874
when number Of counties were re-
pudiating and scaling down their in
debtedness, an attempt was made TO
repeal the law authorizing the issu-
ance of bonds in aid of railroads, but
the western counties and others not
possessing railroads said the scheme
was a hog game on the part Of those
counties already enjoying ample rail-
road facilities, and it was beaten.
But we think today sufficient num-.
her of counties are weary enough to
stop railroad subscriptions by mu.
inequalities. We think it would re-
lieve railroads and people alike If this
business were stopped. Thus roads
would be built for business purposes
alone. But the most ridiculous is a
system of water works TO town OF
5000 or 10000 population. One
town does not profit by the experience
of another. The railroad bond law
has probably served its purpose
that is all have got weary of it; but
the water works idiocy has great
field before it, and 1t should be
hedged in and completely guarded.
