The FIy's Msuth and Tongue.

The fly, like all other perfected
works of nature, is a curiosity worthy
of close examination with good
microscope. He is little pest and a
nuisance at This time of year, to be
sure, but al odlity in natural history,
nevertheless. In making your pre-
liminary examinations doa't take the
trouble to examine the whole fly, OF
even his wings and queer little, hollow
legs, but give your undivided atten,
tion to the head, and especially the
mouth parts. His great compound
eyes, each with its 1900 and some
odd distint facets or lenses, is, Of
course, wonder of wonders, but as
have already described that curious
organ of vision in this department OF
The Republic, I wish to here direct
particular attention to his queer little,
extension mouth, and its divided, leaf
like tongue.
In the Introductory, [ have spoken
of the fy's mouth and tongue as two
separate organs, which is probably
not, strictly speaking, correct. The
mouth is really nothing more nor less
than tongue which, at the proper
time, runs in and out Of hole in the
Ay's head, like the tongue Of snake.
Even this latter effect may be proven
to be delusion if you are careful in
examining fly while in the act Of
eating, for it is then that it may be
seen that the combination mouth and
tongue is simply tiny, black, thread.
like proboscis which unfolds from
beneath the head, where there is a
little niche or socket prepared for it.
When this combination tongue and
mouth is unfolded ready for business
it spreads out, dividing into two fat
leaves, which are planted smoothly
and evenly over the surface from which
the little insect hopes to extract
meal. Should the surface prove dry
or unyielding, the fly is equal to the
emergency, and, by muscular feat
he Immediately changes his smooth
soft, leaf-like tongue into rasp which
works with lightning rapidity over the
lump of sugar or other substance, the
particles thus dislodged being quickly
sucked into the stomach. In case tht
meal is liquid one the mouth ant
tongue combine to make an excellen
pump for transferring the food to tht
place where it will do the most good

What the Chemists are Doing

It is reported that two chemists in
Germany have succeeded by the opera
tion of synthesis in producing cattein,
which is the active principle of the
parched coffee bean, and practically
the same substance to which tea, CO.
Goa and kola owe their peculiar pro-
perties.
With a pellet or two of caffein it
will be an easy matter to make a pot
Of coffee. Pour little boiling water
over the cafein and the beverage is
ready, with oil the perfect flavor and
aroma of the genuine article. There
will be no impurity and none OF the
bitter taste sometimes caused by over
parching.
We have been expecting this. Lie
big and distinguished French chem.
ist have predicted that the time will
come when most of our food will be
manufactured.
1t is true that artificial caffein at
present costs more than coffee, but
the chemists will keep on experiment.
ing until they reduce the cost. At
first glucove cost much more than cane
sugar, but now it is sold for half its
cost. Artificial indigo was once ex-
pensive, but it has now almost COM
pletely superseded the real article.
Artificial coffee will render thou
sands Of coffee plantations yalueless
and will throw millions out OF employ
ment. The manufacture of other
articles Of food and drink will in future
force hosts of producers and wage
workers to starve or turn their atten-
tion to other work, if it can be found.
We cannot help this result. We
must have progress if it prostrates
many Of our industries and kills mil
lions. If men cannot hold their own
against science and invention they
must go. When we reach a point
where few chemists can produce
country's food and a few machines can
do its work, there will no longer be
any danger of an overcrowded popula-
tion. The population will disappear
and favored few will own the earth.
But it is possible that many unex-
pected things will occur to interrupt
and perhaps entirely change this pro-
gramme.-Atlanta Constitution.

Longstre,t Tells War Stories.

On being asked to recall an instance
Of martial courage Gen. LoDgstreet
said:
"About one of the most remarkable
exhibitions of courage which ever
came to my personal observation oc-
Cured during the Mexican war at the
battle of Resaca de la Palma. | was
then with Gen. Taylor, on the 9th day
of May, 1916, when he ordered his
dragons, under Capt. Charlie May,
to charge the enemy's batteries. Ran
dolph Ridgely, who commanded our
battery, as May was about to charge,
called to him: Hold on, Charlie, un-
til I draw their fire. I do not know
any more interesting case of courage
and gallantry than that of Ridgely,
when he called on me to give him the
privilege of drawing the fire that was
ready for May upon himself: May
! made the charge successfully and got
the batteries of the enemy, and as a
result we were victorious that day. l
do not know of anything which was
so fraught with true nobility and abb
| solute fearlessness as this act of Capt.
Ridgely's. Both of these men we're
beautiful characters.
"Can I give you as good an instance
of mercy? Yes, hundreds. On one
occasion at the battle Of Gettysburg,
| as our Confederate lines were advanc-
ing, they met with a temporary check.
| Our troops were firing from behind
rocks, and the enemy were advancing
behind rocks, also, and firing upon US.
Just a little in front of our line where
nv men stood was wounded North
ern soldier, calling frantically for wa.
! ter. A Confederate soldier stepped
from behind his shelter, leaving his
gun, and held up his hands as signal
to cease firing. The Union troop,
stopped when they saw his signal, and
he ran forward and gave the wounded
Yankee his canteen Of water, raising
his head on his arm. until he had
drained the contents of the canteen,
then restoring him tenderly to his re-
clining position on the ground, ran
back behind his rocks where he had
been, and resumed the battle. The
enemy's line resumed firing at the
same time, and this simple act Of mer-
cy passed amid the greater incidents
Of that terrible day, and doubtless OF
the hundreds who witnessed it but
few live to remember or relate the oc-
currence.
"The bravest and best men with
whom I came in contact during two
great conflicts we're Christian men,
and I believe the better Christian a
man is, the Drawer, truer and nobler
he is in private and public life. l do
not see how a man can be brave or use
full unless he is Christian" /"

Initiative Forms in Flowers.

Those who have given any particular
attention to the study of botanical
oddities know that the Brazilian
flower known as the running ante
LOPEZ" is so called because its white
petals have q series of well-detined,
dark-colored lines and dots in which
the imagination can readily trace the
form of an antelope with it's limbs out
stretched and head thrown back,
seemingly fleeing for its life. In the
"caricat11re plant" one species has the
initiative form on the petals and an
other has it outlined in the ribs and
shading of the leaves. This last
mentioned curiosity bears arema-kably
well-executed likeness of the Duke Of
Wellington, and has, on that account,
been named "Arthur and his Nose. "
Among the orchids-the initiative form
is entirely differentin character, being
exhibited in the shape of the flower
itself. Some are exact counterfelts OF
bees, butterflies, moths, etc., while
others take upon themselves the form
of worms and beetles. Naturalists be-
lieve that in the first instance it Is
natures trap to lure other bees, moths
and butterflies, but the case OF the
worm and beetle orchids, or those
that are exact counterparts of toads,
lizards and huge spiders, they do not
attempt to explain. st. Louis Re-

Indicate as surely as any physical
symptom shows anything, that the Or
gans and tissues of the body are not
satisfied with their nourishment.
They draw their sustenance from the
blood, and if the blood is thin, impure
or insufficient, they are in a state OF re-
volt. Their complaints are made to the
brain, the king of the body, through
the nervous system, and the result OF
the general dissatisfaction is what we
call Nervousness.
This is a concise, reasonable expla-
nation of the whole matter.
The cure for Nervousness, then, IS
simple. Purify and enrich your blood
by taking Hoods sarsaparilla, a. and the
nerves, tissues and organs will have
the healthful nourishment they crave.
Nervousness and Weakness will then
give way to strength and health.

proven by the voluntary statements OF

rilla. Read the next column.

Bacteria and Colds.

According to the Berlin correspond
ent of the Lancet, Professor Schenk
has found that the micro-orgsnisms
move toward warm points. This move
ment he terms thermotsxis, and he
concludes as the result of experiments
with a specially constructed apparatus
that warmth acts as q stimulant on
micro-organisms, which move toward
warm body in their neighborhood, and
that this thermotaxis is vital prop
erty of bacteria. The professor fur
ther considers that in certain cases Of
''catching cold" an infection Is con-
veyed BY bacteria. Thus person en-
tering cold room would attract the
bacteria present by his warm body,
and these, finding admission through
the skin or otherwise, produce, after a
certain time of incubation, the results
ordinarily attributed to Catching
cold" The hair bulb sheaths, sweat
glands, and mucous membranes are all
said to offer possible points of entry to

A Substitute for Tan Bark.

Growing wild in great abundance In
New Mexico and Arizona is a plant
that yields large percentage of tan
mic acid. It is known as canalgre.
Experiments were made with this
plant, and when it became certain that
the product of its root was in every
way suited to tanning, large quan-
tity of the tubers were shipped to
various tanneries, both in the United
States and Europe. .his was in 1889.
The results obtained were at once
gratifying and encouraging to al con-
eerned
A number of European tannert
erected plants for extracting the acid
from the canaigre root and adapted
their tanneries to the use of the prod
uct. 1t will surprise most readers to
learn that since that time they have
had large forces of men employed in
New Mexico and Arizona digging and
shipping the root.
American tanners have been slow III
taking up the canaigre root, fearing
the supply could not be made to an
swer the demand. They have long
been convinced, however, that 1t fur
nishes equally as good tanning agent
as the oak or hemlock bark, and at
last steps are being taken to begin the
cultivation of the plant on large
scale. Many farmers in New Mexico
have undertaken to make a business OF
it, and e large company has been in
corporated for the purpose Of improv-
ing the lands of the Pecos Valley,
where the conditions are especially
favorable to its growth. --Wayerley

| Aunt julia, who, eXtraYeganI woman,
owned two summer cottages elsewhere,
but who SO greatly preferred this big,
Jolly, lovely hotel on Cliff Isle that
she had come hither for two entire
seasons, bringing her favorite niece
with her. And this summer her IA
vorite niece had met Stanley Mayhem,
been loved by him, loved him and
promised to be his wife.
Nettie sat in the corner Of great.
soft sofa in the long parlor, thinking
her happy thoughts. Only three
months but how well they knew each
other nowl
Stanley came down from the city
every night, and every Sunday for ell
day, and how her contented mind
teemed with sweet memories-of moon
light strolls on the sandy shore; Of
quiet hours on a rustic bench on the
hill; of grabbing and fishing in his
little skihf; of long talks, only bright
and friendly at first, then something
more; Of the moment when he had
spoke, and she had yielded her full
trust to him; of the blessed two week.
vince then.
She had written to her mother and
she had told her Aunt Julia; and she
wondered if she ought not to tell
Eleanor Wells. Why hadn't she?
Eleanor and she were chums, and
Eleanor was an old friend of Stanley's
family in the city, and was the one
girl beside herself to whom Stanley paid
any attention. Was she, perhaps, just
the least mite jealous of that old friend
ship, and of Stanley's frank admira-
ton of Eleanor? Was it because Of
that lurking little doubtfulness that
she had not confded her happiness to
Eleanor?
Nettie was ashamed Of the feeling.
Of course he admired a handsome,
clever, charming girl He himself
had introduced them, and wanted
them to be friends, as they were. 1t
was herself whom he loved. Was not
that enough for her? Did it not seem
10 fill her world with radience?
She would go and find Eleanor this
minute and tell her. She would tell
how she almost wondered thst he had
not chosen her instead; and they
would laugh together-probably cry
Gttle-and have good talk.
She must hurry. It WAS after seven
o'clock now, and no would be down on
the eight o'clock boat tonight, hehad
told her, because he had little extra
work at the office. She would just
have time, when she had seen Eleanor,
to get into her prettiest gown for him:
She rose, smiling and flushing, and
went tripping down the long room,
humming gay air.
