guished. 1t is caused by fungous
growth. which begins in the tissues
of the insect, somewhat like a can
Ger, and finally pushes through the
skin and goes through a sort Of
blossoming, producing spores by
which it is further propaagated.
Other insects are attacked by re-
lated growths. Grasshoppers are par
ticularly subject to such attacks, and
the plant that kills them is known
as the grasshopper fungus. That
which attacks the fly is called Eupasa
musca. 1t Is a plant Of simple Or
ganization, and is apparently related
to the black molds. About forty re-
lated species are recognized. This
one consists of short tubular threads.
These push through the skin of the
fly and produce the spores near their
tips. When this happens the fly's
body swells up, and he fastens him
self somewhere to die.
Vast numbers Of flies are killed by
this fungus every year, particularly
in the autumn. The marks they
leave are great annoyance to neat
housekeepers.-New York Sun.

MONTANA HAS A PAINT MINE.

Immense Deposits Furnishing Four Colors
Long Known to the Indians.
1t is not generally known that we
have in this locality, very near the
'Geyser," a paint mine, says the
Townsend Messenger We might say
1t is quarry. there is SO much of it.

seph Blessing, recently took a wagon

pOunded il up with an old hammer,
mixed it up with linseed oil and put
it on his picket fence He now has
one Of the handsomeSt fences in the
State-the upper part a rich old gold
and the lower beautiful maroon.
The mine appears to he simply mex
hauStible. This mine and the '.Gey-
ser, which is near it, were discovered,
or, rather, located, about eighteen
years ago by that veteran old-tilner
aud prince of good fellows, Naylor
Thompson, whom everybody knows
and likes. 1t was shown to him IN
the first place by friendly Indian
chief who took a liking to Naylor,
and assured him (Naylor) that it was
the source of supply for all the In
dians west Of the Mississippi kiver
and had been for centuries. Il. ose
were the days when Naylor could
draw his chair up to a table and sit
down without knocking the table
Over-he was very active. Well, the
Indians came thousands of miles for
paint and used to decorate their per-
sons when on the warpath; trails led
fro6p the mine In all directions, show
ing that it had been natural center
OF meeting for the red men, Just the
same as the well-known pipe-stone
quarry of southwestern Minnesota.
Naylor never made any use of the
paint He was In the habit Of reach
ing high state of exhilaration at
times, when he would mount his
bronchO and let out few yells and
go in for some fun-and then woe to
the tenderfoot or anyone else who
got in his way. At such times he
was in for fun and nothing else, and
a GaJling gun would not make him
change his mind when his neck was
bowed. He would then paint the
town in lurid Lolors, but he did not
use any paint from the mlne-that
was all long ago. He still retains his
interest in the mine, and claims he
can furnish paint in four colors, by
the train load, sufficient to paint all
creation. If anyone doubts this Nay
lor would like to see him.

ANIMALS and Stimulants.

1t has lately been pointed out that
man, after all, is not the only amin al
who INDUCES in stimulants. Certain
animals also indulge themselves in
this manner with fatal results, the
vehicle of intoxication is the case OF
the lower order Of beings being a
creeping vetch called the 'loco
plant" This is an nhabitant of the
Texan Panhandle" and is a source
of serious danger to horses and cattle.
To them it has all the allurements
which are possessed by absinthe and
gin for beings of another grade, only
the results of the vetch are more
definitely fatal, even when taken in
moderate measures Animals who
have tasted of 1t are liable to fail

fected as well as their spinal cords.
They leap heights in their frenzy and
dash down precipices No rider of
