Facts About Flies.

The popular nc ton that house flies
walk on the CT ling by the help of the
suckers on their feet is mistaken one.
NCtw thstar ding TIE testimony on his
point of many cd and respected authors,
he fact is hat TIE fly has no suckers
on his feet at all, but each of those six
members ends in a rair of little cush-
ions end a pair Of hooks. The cushions
are covered with ever so many hairs,
which are kept moist by an exuding
fluid. Thus fly is able to walk on a
smoc tn wall or ceiling CT window pane,
and apparently defy the law of gravi,a-
ton by the adhering power of The moist
hairy pads. You will understand the
theory of it if you will touch the
moistened end of your fore6nger to the
wiz dow-glass or any smooth surface
and perceive the perceptible adhesion.
For walking on rough surfaces the hy's
foot cushions are of no use; but the in
sect is provided with the twelve strong
hooks men'iC ned to do its rough travel
with, clinging by them to any such sur
face as a white was he'd wall or cloth.
Another prevalent fallacy is that the
smaller flies seen in houses are Young
ones. AS is the case with all insects,
the fy's grow tn is accomplished in the
larva ties; it ends with the issuing
from TIE pupa and the expansion of the
wings. Individual flies differ. in size or
maturity, just as is the crse with man
and other animals. Every house fly
that you see was once a crawling mag
got. The eggs laid by the female fly
are usually deposited in warm manure,
or in decomposing vegetation. Each
stable in summer that is not kept re-
markably clean is Matching and prop
agating place for flies. Within twenty
four hours after The eggs are laid they
are Matched out into footless maggots,
which inhabit he filth they are born in
for week, and then contract to little
brown objects called pupara. Within
this hardened skin the maggot is trans
formed into the perfect fly, which
crawls out of the puparium five days
later, already grown to full size, and
wings its way to share your luncheon.
A fly lives about three weeks. When
the cold weather comes the flies nearly
all die; but few vigorous females re-
main torpid in hooks and crannies,
thus surviving the winter, and continu-
ing their species.

Watering a Mob.

Right in San Francisco to-day lives a
man, says The daily Call, who was a
ringleader of mob in Tucson that was
foiled in most peculiar way in an at
tempt to lynch prisoner who was
charged with numbering a prospector.
Court was in session at the time, and
the prisoner was confined in cell in
the Tucson court house, through the
main entrance of which was the only
way of access to the Jail from the street.
An adjournment had been taken for
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1891-09-23

the day, aud, as it happened, the only
man left at the court house was the
janitor, a slow, methodical old fellow,
named Hand. Rumors had been cir
culated for several days that an attempt
would be made to lynch the prisoner
referred to, hut, as no demon stration
had been made, TIE sheriff had grown
careless and had removed the guard.
Just about the dusk of the evening in
question, the old janitor, who was en-
joying smoke on the courthouse steps,
saw mob approaching, and in an in
slant realized its meaning. Slowly re-
moving his pipe from his mouth, he
laid ii carefully aside and stepped into
The corridor of the building. A Sec
ton of fire-hose stood near, and, DELHI
erately unreeling it, he screwed it on
the hydrant and adjusted the nozzle.
He stood there in readiness, and when
the leader of the mob reached the door
way, he turned the water on, full force.
Owing to the great elevation of the
reservoir, the pressure was enormous.
and the stream as it struck the leader
staggered him. He hesitated and turn ed
to face his companions. That settled
it, and before they recovo red from their
surprise, every man in the mob was
drenched from head to foot. The stream
seemed to ircrease in force and volume,
and one after another of the would.be
lynchers fled. In five minutes not one
Ct them could be seen in any direction,
and when TIE sheriff put in an appear
snce, old Hand had reeled up the hose,
and was again seated on the steps,
smoking away as if nothing had hap
pened.-ETchdnge.

ACCIDENT TO THE sr.pn

She Runs on tho Rocks on Nor1b Brothers' Island Sustaining Serfou. Damage-SuccessfuI FIoared Ye.- terday.
 The steamer John H. Starin, Captain
 hcAelister, of the Starin Transportation
 company, plying between this city and
 New York, ran ashore on the sharp rocks
 of North Brothers island early Friday eve ming and stove large hole in her hull. She left her dock foot of Courtlandt street, at o'clock Friday evening on her way to this city. The weather on the sound was very thick, and navigation extremely diff cult. The boat was running at slow rate of speed on account of the fog, and conse- quently when she ran upon the rocks the shock and crash was not so severe as it would otherwise have been. There was no panic among the passengers, due prin- cipally to the coolness of Captain McAllis- ter and the officers of the boat, who as- sured them that there was no danger and consequently no occasion for anxiety or fear. The passengers were subsequently transferred to another steamer and re- turned to New York in safety. The steamer lay on the rocks until early yes terday morning, when tugs succeeded in getting her of, and she was taken to Aliens dock at Jersey City where she will be put in thorough repair before returning to her regular place on the line
 Owing to the accident no passengers were carried to New York on the Starin line last night, causing much disappoint- ment to many would-be travellers. The steamer John Lenox, of the same line, came to this city early yesterday morning, returning to New York last night with freight but no passenger.

l Two Ports Taken by Insursents- Valparaiso Still Blockaded-Prfson CTS Released by "Primitivas,, - Workmen Fired Upon-Many Kill. ed-The Governments Offer. LIMA, Peru, Feb. ,S.-The mail steamer Arequipa brings the following news up to
 January s7, from Valparaiso: The steamer Imperial, which was taken on board 2,OOO men for Iquique was attached at night by revolutionist's torpedo-boat Blanco, but the torpedo boat was repulsed after sev- eral hours, fighting and the Imperial man. aged to leave Valparaiso. She landed the troops she had aboard near Iquique. The government has issued a decree promising those of it's troops not taking part with revolutionists 25 per cent. addi- tional pay. Another government decree provides that the families of loyal soldiers killed or wounded shall receive pensions equal to full pay.
 Talta1 and Chanaral are the only ports taken by the revolutionists.
 The Champion was the only foreign man-of-war at Valparaiso, while the Acorn was at Coquimbo and the Pheasant at Iquique. The Arequipa was not allowed to touch at Iquique nor Para and so she left cargo for these ports at Arecia.
 The cruisers Almirante Lynch and Almi- rante Condell are not in the possession of the revolutionists, these two new vessels having been detained by the Chilian gov ernment at Monveideo. A train filled with prisoners was stopped by 300 tprimi- tivas" who liberated the prisoners and took the train to Iquique, having first killed the engineer.
 The ports of Coquimbo and Pisaqua have been re-taken by the government forces. In Pisagua a band of workmen, who ap- piled to the government for bread, had their application refused by the governor and fired on, many of them being killed.
 The port of Valparaiso is still block aded, but steamers manage to get in and out after being overhauled by blockaders. Any boat moving away after o'clock is fired on from shore.
 A great many notable people in Santiago nave expressed desire to sell or mort gage their property, but the government has protested against such transaction, ,and it is feared that confiscation will follow People of the better classes are siding with the revolutionists.
 Jovino Novino, minister to Peru during the Chilian occupation, is prisoner in his house. He is seriously ill.

Com1NG WEEK IN CONGRESS.
Measures That Will occupy the Att tentfon of the Lesislators-What the House and Senate Have Planned for the Weeks Work.

tent1On or the LeS1slatOrs-"hat the
 House and Senate Have Planned
 for the Weeks Work.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-The two branches of congress have made great progress dur ing the week in the transaction of public business, but there is general disposition at the capitol to do even more work daily, henceforward. The lengthening of the legislative day in the senate is expected to result in final action before the fourth of March, not only upon all the annual ap- propriation bills, but also upon the rather long list of measures selected by the re- publican caucus for advancement because of their public importance. So the week in the senate will probably be devoted to the consideration of the appropriation bills made ready in time for action and such measures upon the caucus program as can be reached. The naval appropriation bill, it is said, will be called up tomorrow after final action is reached on the eight-hour bill and the Dis trict of Columbia and diplomatic and con- sular appropriation bills will be reported from committee during the week. The other measures that will probably inter vene are the copyright bill the Indian dep relations bill and the Nicaragua canal bill. It is within the bounds of possibility that an effort will be made to attach free sil- yer coinage rider to one of the appropria- tion bills, in which case some delay in car rying out the remainder of the program may result.
 The appropriation bills will probably continue to absorb nearly all the time of the house for some days to come and the prospect for any general legislation during this week is not bright. The District of Columbia committee under the rules is en- titled to the floor tomorrow, and is mak- ing an earnest effort to secure the day for local legislation, but MT. Cannon does not intend to permit anything to intervene while the sundry civil bill is pending in the house if he can prevent it. The other appropriation bills are on the calendar awaiting action and it is likely that their consideration will consume practically the whole of the week. There are a number of other matters, including the shipping bill and sundry election contests on which action is very earnestly desired, but it is the understanding among the republicans that the appropriation bills shall have the right of way at all times.
 l The silver bill and the report of the Raum investigation committee are subjects which may be precipitated upon the house during the week, but in what form it if impossible to predict.

ARRIVAL OF AN OVERDUE SHIP.


 How the Hamburg-Am Steam-
 ship PoIaria Was Battered by the Waves-NarroXv Escape of the Pass
 engers and Crew From an Ocean
 Grave.
 NEW YORK, Feb. S.-The Hamburg American Steamship Polaria, regarding whose safety much anxiety has been felt, reached port to-day, five days overdue. Her foremast was gone, her engines out of order, the bulwarks forward on her star board side were replaced with rough, un- plained boards and she presented batter ed appearance generally. There was no mistaking the fact, judging from her ap- pearance as she came up the bay this morning, that she passed through a heavy storm It took her nearly an hour to make the short passage from the Battery to her dock where large crowd of anxious Germans were awaiting their delayed friends. Captain George Busch told what a narrow escape the passengers and crew had from an ocean grave. "We left Copen- hagen on the 16th," he said, ''with 70 steerage passengers and a general cargo. From the start we encountered nasty weather. January 27 was 8 particularly stormy day. At half past two in, the afternoon gigantic wave struck us for ward and tons of water came rolling on deck. The first mate was on the bridge at the time and above the din of the surg ing waters he heard a sharp crash and when he rubbed sthe water out Of his eyes he saw the big foremast hanging level with the main deck over the star board side. The forward bulwarks had been carried away, the stairs leading from the quarter deck to the main deck were gone, the sheet-iron end of the cabin de- partment forward had been burst in, DOT tions of the bridge were missing, the iron guard rail was broken like a pipe stem and a small boat had been carried off. The succeeding waves were threatening and we had to put oil bags out on all sides of the ship in order to calm the waters somewhat. The bad weather continued until we had passed the Newfoundland banks"
 The accident to the ship to which the captain referred created panic on board, but this was speedily quelled. No one was injured, fortunately. Something happened to the engines at the banks, which delayed the vessel coming in. It will probably be some time before the Polaria is fit for sea
