THE PEST OF FLIES.
sIan's Life Rendered Miserable by the
Troublesome Insects

The bee is but one of several plaques
that have TO be set off per contra in
the ledger Of Terai joys. The fly is
another-that common nuisance which
infests the Terai country as an en-
tomological anomaly. G., a house fly
where houses there are none.
Wherever in those regions the camp
of man is pitched, there do these
dipterous insects-these minimized
harpieS-swarm.
At night they are only moderately
active, but when the day has warmed
a little they fill the air with their dis
cordant buzzing, and every teacup,
milk jug or other possible receptacle
with their bodies. The only way OF
eating a breakfast in their company,
says BIackwood's Magazine, is 10 take
that meal in al inclOsure Of mosquito
netting, and even then hundreds Of
them contrive 20 effect an entrance,
and, being inside, dispute each
nouthful between the plate or cup and
lip.
Then there are sand flies, whose Ii
mansions are such as preclude seclu-
sion by any material that viii admit
the air, and whose ssinRs are as az
gravating as those OF mosquitoes.
And. finally, there is an insect that, as
an amateur entonologist, l call the
eye-hy-an insect that attacifs one dur
ing the heat Of the day, and particu-
larry when one is open-eyed for tiger,
with the set purpose Of getting into
ones eye

JAN TIE SEVSRED HEAD THINK?
it Would Seem Not from These Expert
ments.


Does the head of a decapitated per
son have any of the sensations of life
after being severed from the body?
You may or may not have thought of
this before; at any rate il is without
doubt the most interesting question in
the whole range of physiology, says
the St Louis Republic. From the very
nature OF such cases we will probably
never know whether there is the least
ray of memory, reflection or real sensi-
bility surviving in the brain of man
after the head falls from the block. but
it is only natural that we should inyes-
tigate the matter as fully as the cir
cumstances viii permit.
Some may remember curious arti-
Gle printed in the latter part OF
1889 entitled "A Dead Eye That
Winked-" In it were given the
details of remarkable expert
ment made by Surgeon Velpeau. the
Paris prison physician, on one Or.
de Ia Pommerais, who suffered death
by the guillotine. Just before his ex-
eeution he arranged with Velpeau that
if the latter would pick up his severed
head, he (Pommerais) would, if it
should be possible for him To do so,
wink three times at the surgeon as a
sign that, although he could not speak,
the faculties of thought, feeling and
sight were still in active operation.
The account gives a picture of the
scene when Surgeon Velpeau grasped
the bleeding head and shouted in the
ear: "Pommerais, can you thrice close
your right eve while the left remains
open?" The stolid surgeon, familiar as
he was with blood-curdling sights, was
almost frozen with horror when he
saw the right lid slowly fall, while the
left eye looked fixedly at him. Again"
he cried. but the lid only quivered. all
sensibility having left the head for
ever.
The above and similar stories have
excited the minds of investigators and
much attention has been given the
matter during the last five years. DIR.
Loye, another Paris savant, has been
at the head of the French experiment.
ers. They have decapitated hundreds
of poor dumb brutes, mostly dogs, and
the net result of their Investigations
seems to be that consciousness disap-
pears Immediately after decapitation.
In the language of the learned scien-
fists, both portions of the animal or
man so decapitated are instantly put
in a state of rapid asphyxia-" This
seems altogether likely, but the ques-
ton now arises: as consciousness in
such cases only suspended and would
it be revived if it were possible to re-
place the head so that it would occupy
the same physiological position which
it did before being separated from the

The diet for an anaemic should con-

fresh vegetables, and sound fruit and
bread, which is at once digestible and
