HOW FLIES DIE,

Their Death Caused by a Minute Parasitic
Fungus.
Like many ether insects, house flies
are subject to the attacks of a parasitic
fungus which destroys great numbers
of them. especially toward the end of
autumn. We sometimes see the corpses
of such as have met this fate glued to
the window-panes in the attitude of
life. with legs widely spread and wings
raised as if in preparation for flight.

around them. and their bodies pale,

spores of the fungus. which are excess

are carried against the f1y's body. and
such as strike its under surface NAV be-
come adherent, when each spore sends
ont n long. tubular projection. which
penetrates the skin and enters the body.
Once hcrc its hosts doom is certain, for
it meets with suitable nourishment in
the shape of the fluids of the fy's body,
by aid of which it will speedily propa-
gate itself until its victim. drained of
its life support, finally succumbs. The
maturation 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 gradu-
ally 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

OF BIRDS.
the Prompting Causes Of Their Lengthy
Flights.

>ouSCb VI AhChE LcukLuy
Flights.
Brehm, the distinguished German
naturalist, who has so recently died,
says love and hunger are the birds only
guiding impulses. The statement Is
made, and is a very interesting one,
that those that cross the Mediterranean
sea in going from Africa to Europe fol-
low certain fixed routes: First, by the
Straits of Gibraltar; second. from Tunis
to Sardinia and Corsica to the shores of
the Gulf of Genoa; third, from Tripoli
by Malta and Sicily to Italy, etc.
How were these lines Of passage
learned? In the diluvial period, what
Is now the Mediterranean sea consisted
Of two large lakes, one Of which was cut
off the ocean by a broad strip of land
where now are the Straits of Gibraltar,
and which were separated from each
other by a land dixie composed of Italy,
Sicily, etc, which connected the two
continents. The birds, as they in
creased in numbers, migrated by these
routes in search of better breeding
places, and as the lands sank they on
tinued to follow them over gradually
narrowing belts of land, over marshes
and lagunes, and finally cover broad
waters, and yet no one generation was
aware of any change. They carried
with them the memory of their warm
winter home, and on the approach of
the European winter, when their food
supply failed, returned to it with their
young.
If this explanation is the correct one,
it is evident, says Forest and Stream,
that we have failed in our efforts to in
troduce these migratory birds because
we have attempted to reverse the proc
css by which the habit of migration
was acquired, and, in order to succeed,
instead of turning them loose in the
north, we must give the strangers, sky
larks, nightingalcs, quail, etc, q suita-
bic southern winter habitat FLORIDA,
Louisiana, Mexico), from which in
spring, food failing or driven by an in
herent tendency las asserted by Prof.
Baird), they may wander to some other
locality suitable for raising their young,
and to which. by virtue of memory thus
acquired and finally inherited, they may
return when food fails them in their
summer home.
If they wander in all directions from
the winter home, those that go to the
most favorable localities will most GER
survive and multiply, while lone
of them will be in such unfavorable
as those that may be turned
loose in our Northern States. They
then, so far as we can arrange it
them, be best prepared for the
for existence in this country,
over the whole of which, if they find
favorable conditions, we may expect
them soon to spread. and thu repay us
our expenditure of effort and money.

shall make haste slowly, but we shall

GREEK
A School Where the Grecian Heroes Were
Taught.

II ScioOi "Hefe tnt tsTetlan heroes were
Taught.
In the mountains of Greece there was
a great cave, and in that cavc lived a
man who was half n horse. He had the
head and breast of 4 man, but a horses
body and legs. lie was famed, writes
Andrew Land in st. Nicholas, for know
ing more about every thing than any
one else in all Greece. lie knew about
the stars. and the plants of earth. which
were good for medicine. and which were
poisonous. lie was the best archer with
the bow, and the best player of the
harp, he knew most songs and stories
of old times, for he was the last of n
people half-horse and lalf-man, who
had dwclt in ancient times on the hills.
Therefore, the Kings in Greece sent
their sons to him to be taught shooting,
singing, and telling the truth, and that
was all the teaching they had then, ex-
ccpt that they learned to hunt, and fish,
and fight, and throw spears, and toss
the hammer and the stone. Many of
the boys taught by Chiron became IA
nous. Among them was Orpheus, who
played the harp SO swectly that wild
beasts followed his minstrelsy, and even
the trees danced after him, and settled
where he stopped playing; and there
Mopsus, who could understand what
the birds say to each other, and there
was Butes, the handsomest of men; and
Tiphys, the best steersman of n ship;
and Castor, with his brother Poly
deuces, the boxer; and Ileracles, the
strongest man in the whole world, was
there; and Lynceus, whom they call
keen-eye, because he could see so far,
and he could see the dead men in their
graves under the earth; and there was
Euphcmus, SO swift and light-footed
that he could run upon the gray sea,
and never wei his feet; and there were
Calais and Hctes, the two sons of the
North Wind, with golden wings upon
their feet; and many others were there
whose names it would be too long to
tell. They all grew up together in the
the hills, good friends, healthy, End
brave. and strong.
