CLOSED ON SUNDAYS.
Directors Decide That the Seven-Day
Fair Doesn't PAY.

By vote of tWenty-four to four the
Worlds Fair directors after q three hours
session. decided TO close the Exposition
gates Sundays after July Is, known as
Heroes" day. The belief was gen
eral that the seven-day Fair was I'M
wise in view of past experience. and most OF
the directors went to the meeting with the
intention Of voting to abolish the Sunday
exhibition. Vice-President Peck had reso-
luton, which was approved by President
Higinbotham, which explained the failure Of
q Sunday Fair and contained q motion that
an order be issued providing for closing the
gates every Sunday after July Is. In the dis
cussion which followed attention was called
to the many closed exhibits Sunday and
TO the fact that workinSmen. whose chief
interest in the Exposition would be in the
machinery, could not enjoy that exhibit in
its entirety because the machines are not
run Sunday.
The closing on Sunday extends to Midway
Plaisance, and mighty howl went up from
that Oriental thoroughtare. The Sunday
crowds have made the day profitable for the
Midway concessiOnaries. and they are hot.
The directors expected 4 kick from that
quarter, but could see no way OF consist 3ntlr

Good Advice on tho Subject of Hats.

Some n has said that not one mar IN
a dozen knows now to wear Il dress coat
and 1t is quite us true that II large num-
Der of individuals do not have any idea
how to wear Il hat. One man can wear
his hat at the back of his head and look
well dressed, while another having his
hat in that position would look as though
he were recovering from a protracted
round of dissipation. 1t is just the same
with the other positions. on the top of
the head. on either side or drawn over
the forehead. 1t is knowing how to wear
a hat which makes it look well. and the
knowledge often enables the poor man
to look more dressy in a cheap hat than
his richer neighbor III u much more cost

The time the knowledge is "A saving
n is when buying a hat. A good sales
man will take car that Il customer gets
u hat that will fit him when worn in the
position which is most becoming to that
individual. but unless this is taken care
OF by either purchaser or salesman there
will be little satisfaction from the pur-
chase and the hat will probably biz " off

vcurfnx Animal Lite.
One species of the arosea has it's leaves
rounded. while the other has theia elon-
gated. but both alike have them reddish
in color and covered with short hairs oT
tilaiuents At tn. end of each Of these
hairs there IL an enlarged gland whicl,
secretes n tiny drop Of what appears to
be harmless dew. harmless. however. the
liquid Is not. for to most insects. espe-
cially small flies. the drOsea il "a most
insidior.sly haite! trap The liquid is in
reality Il sweet. sticky substance. and Ii
the very smallest fly does but touch ii
aver so lightly it sticks there and dies.
The nanner in which the plant after
ward actually digesis the bodies OF the
flies 1t entraps is interesting in the eX-
IRENE
Within Il short time Of the capture of
l fiy-so excessively sensitive are the
ylands-all the filaments growing around
the one which has made the capture com
mence to bend inward. covering the
iuckless insect until it is securely within
the grasp OF the relentless plant. Each
gland then pcurs out upon the body a
digestive liquid. not altogether unlike
the gastric juice of animals. and in the
course Of a day or two the fly is com
pletely digested. the nutritive parts have
been wholly absorbed by the plant and
the tilaments have bent back to their
original position. ready to make another
capture upon the first opportunity.
II. however. the substance caught by
the leaf is of an indiyestible nature,
such as a grain of sand or a piece Of
stick blown by the winds on to the
glands. the leaf does not remain closed
more than a few hours. The number of
insects thus caught must he very great.
The plants themselves are very abun-
dant in most upland boys. Each plant
has five or six leaves. and as many as
thirteen dead flies have been found on a
single leaf.
Curiously enough. Darwin. whose re.
searches into the subject were of a most
exhaustive and interesting nature, found
that the leaves on his plants Were killed
when he gave them Il surfeit of cheese
and raw meat. The excessively sensi-
tive nature of the glands almost sur
passes conception. Darwin found that
the absorption Of only the leo O0, 0O0th
part of a grain of phosphate of ammo
MIA or t~heroaboEt was sufficient to cause
the iilament bearing the gland to bend
toward the center of the leaf.-Good
