Mlddletown Transcript.
The peach crop is now reality and
there are more peaches than the markets
can take at remunerative prices. Prices
are very low aud expenses very great, a
combination which is neither pleas
ant nor profitable. The chief cause Of
the low prices Ia the absence Of buyers
and shippers who make a business Of
scattering great quantities Of peaches
among quite a number Of the smaller
cities of the North. The absence OF
these people is due to the fact that some
Of the newspapers Of the state. and
especially the Every Evening made a
strong effort, about the beginning
Of the season, TO lead the people TO be-
lieve that very few good peaches
would be harvested this year e
Every Evening is always trying some
kind Of an experiment, either political or
horticultural, aud always does more
harm than good; formerly reliable and
trustworthy 10 10 now constantly mis-
representing facts; formerly peoples
champion Il Is now crying out that there
will be no good peaches In Delaware this
year aud thereby keeping away class Of
men who would pay good prices for fruit.
But mark the course of that paper on
another important question; has It ever
used It's influence against the unjust de-
mRnds of the Pennsylvania rallroadi
Has 1t ever noticed that PeEinsula far
mers are being Disseminated againstl
Every Evening has been particularly
/ quiet on these matters; probably one OF
two annual passes have a soothing effect
on the conscience

Among the marvellous stories relat-
ed of Mahomet and his followers one
is that he was conveyed on mysteri-
Gus animal from Mecca to Jerusalem,
and thence assembled the seven heav-
ems, conversed with patriarchs and
angels, and approached within two
bow shots of the throne of the AL
mighty; after which he descended to
Jerusalem and returned to Mecca all
in the tenth part OF night. Another
is that the moon at Mahomet's COM
mand, left the sky, performed seven
revolutions around the temple of
Mecca saluted him in Arabic Ian
guage entered at the collar Of his
shirt and issued forth through his
sleeve A third is, that he saw angels
in heaven whose heads were so large
that 1t would take bird thousand
years TO fly from one ear to the other!

Fortunes I'm Frogs.

'About twenty-five years ago." said
an old attendant in the big Washing
ton market to Boston Globe reporter,
several men made fortunes at catch
ing frogs and sending them to market.
The hind legs were cut of. skinned,
washed, and, after being mildly sailed,
were sent away in barrels. Prices
used to range from 80 to 70 cents for
a dozen pairs of legs, and. as sales
were quick, there was a pile of money
in the occupation.
Zone old fellow, n blacksmith by the
name of Weld. down in Greenbush,
Me-, supplied all of New England for
years. He lived by the side of very
extensive swamps that were filed with
wigglers and cattails. The former
furnished food for the frogs. while the
latter gave them shade. | have seen
bullfrogs legs that were nearly as big
as the legs of q chicken.
"Old man Weld used to hire boys to
kill the frogs for him, giving them or
cents dozen. The frogs were so
plenty that many of the children earn
ed good wages, even ut that small
price. Weld dressed the frogs, oorned
them and shipped them to Boston in
barrels, like behring's. He kept up the
business for years, and. though he
slew hundreds Of thousands every year,
the supply did not diminish at all.
by aud by the prices went way
down and as the old man had cleared
about 800 900 out of the scheme, he
retired, built himself fine mansion
and lived at his ease. He is the only
man know of who got rich by catch
ing frogs, but have heard of several
others"

THE ATMOSPHERE.

It's Pressure Enables Flies to Walk on
Perpendicular Surfaces.
The weight of the atmosphere is near
fifteen pounds on every square inch, so
that il we could entirely squeeze out
the air between our hands they would
cling together with a force equal to
the pressure OF double this weight
because the air would press upon both
hands and il we could contrive to
suck or squeeze out the air between
one hand and tho wall, the hand would
stick fast to the wall, being pressed
on it by the weight OF about two hum
dred pounds near fifteen pounds on
every square inch of the hand!
Now by late most curious dis
covery by Sir Everard Home, says the
Saturday Evening Post the distin-
tinguished anatomist it Is found that
this is the very process by which flies
and other insects OF a similar descrip-
ton are enabled to walk upon per-
pendicular surfaces however smooth,
as the sides of walls and panes of
glass in windows, and TO walk as
easily along the ceiling OF rooms with
their bodies downward, and their feet
overhead.
Their feet when examined by mi
croscope, are found TO have fiat skins
or flaps, like the feet OF web-footed
animals as ducks and geese; and they
have by means OF strong folds. the
power OF drawing the flaps close down
upon the glass or wall the fly walks
on, and thus squeezing out the air
completely, so as to make vacuum
between the foot and the glass or
wall.
The consequence OF this is. the air
presses the foot on the wall with a
very considerable force compared to
the weight of the fly; for its feet are
TO its body in the same proportion as
ours are to our bodies. Since we
could support by single hand on the
ceiling of the room Crowded it made
vacuum) more than our whole
weight namely, 200 pounds the fly
can easily move on four feet in the
same manner, by the help OF the
vacuum made under its feet.
And it has likewise been found that
some of the larger sea animals are,
by the same construction. enabled to
climb the perpendicular and smooth
surfaces of the ice hills among which
they live. Some kinds OF lizards have
the same power of climbing and Of
climbing and OF creeping with their
bodies downwards along the ceiling Of
the room, and the means by which
they are enabled to do so are the same.
And in the largo feet OF those ami
mails the continuance is easily OBJ
served of the toes and muscles by
which the skin OF the foot is pinned
down and the air excluded in the act
of walking or climbing, but it is the
very same. only upon larger scale,
with the mechanism Of fly or but
terhy's foot; and both operations, the
climbing of the sea-horse upon the
ice, and the creeping of the fly upon
the window or the ceiling, are per-
formed exactly by the same power,
the weight of the atmosphere which
causes the quicksilver to stand in the
weather glass, the wind TO whistle
through the keyhole, and the piston
to descend in an old steam engine.

 Hartford county, with population of 147, ,1SO, now has 45 representatives and would have 59 New Haven county, with population of 209, O5S, now has 36 representatives and would have New London county, with population of 76,- 634 now has 30 representatives and would have 36.
 Fairfield county, with population of 15O,0S1, now has 32 representatives and would have 50. Windham county, with a population of 45,15s, now has 24 representatives and would have 25. Litchfield county, with population of 63, ,54s, now has fl representatives and would have fl. Middlesex county, with population of 39,5A, now has 9 representatives and would have A. Holland county, with a population of g, ,081, now has 9 representatives and would have 23. The whole state; with a population of TAG, ,25a, now has 252 representatives and would have 321. It is interesting to see how this would work county-wise on 8 county average of population represented.
 New Haven county would have on the average one representative to 3,318 inhab- itants, Fairfield county one to 3,001, Hart ford county one to 9, ,12S, Windham one to 1 ,806, Middlesex one to 1,647, Litchfield one to 1906, Holland one to 1,O9O.
 In the state at large there would be one representative to 2,325 inhabitants. The change consists wholly in enfranchising every town group of 5000 inhabitants in the state, wheresoever they may be located, and still doing it townwise. It thus re- moves the reproach of gross inequality by setting 5000 limit to it.
 It may be urged that this would make the house of representatives too large. It would not be too large. It would contain but 321 members, with the 69 new ones added, instead of 252 as at present. The house of representatives at Washington contains 332.
