speed Of enc pragon FIy.

It is the popular belief that the
fight of birds is much swifter than that
OF insects, but number of naturalists,
who have been making a study of the
matter, think that is not the case. A
common house fly, for example, is not
very rapid in it's fight, but its wings
make 800 beats u second and send 1t
through the air rs feet, under ordin-
ary circumstances, in the space Of that
time. When the insect is alarmed,
however, it has been found that 1t can
increase its speed to 100 feet per sec.
ond. If it could continue such rapid
flight for a mile in u straight line 1t
would cover that distance in exactly 80
seconds. 1t is not an uncommon thing
when travelling by rail in the sum-
uler time, to see bee or wasp keeping
up with the train and trying to get in at
the windows. A swallow is considered
one of the swiftest of flying birds, and
Ttwas thought until recently that no in
sect could escape it. A naturalist tells
of an exciting chase he saw between
swallow and dragon fly, which is the
swiftest of insects. The insect flew
with incredible speed, and wheeled and
lodged with such ease that the swal-
low, despite It's utmost efforts, COM
pietely failed to oyertake and capture
it-Golden Days.

but he frequently received letters from
correspondents there, and, being col
lector OF postage stamps, he was III the
habit of removing them from the let

on the postage stamp is an excellent
material for retaining any diserse
germs that it may receive from the APP
plication of the tongue, and in remov-
ing stamps-even when moistening is
done with the sponge-there is always

A GREAT SNAKE COLONY.
An Australian Enthusiast Has Fine Col
lection of venomous Reptiles.

lection of Venomous Reptiles.
Mr.. J. McGarvie Smith, an eminent
bacteriologist of Sydney, Australia, is
the proprietor of probably the greatest
collection of snakes in the world, says
the New York World. He is in
the business partly for scientific
purposes and partly for business. He
advertised some time ago for 500 venom
Gus reptiles, but one publisher refused
to permit the advertisement until he
had satisfied himself of the sanity of
the scientist.
The different species of venomous
snakes in Australia, so far as known,
number AZ, and Mr.. Smith has speci-
mems of all of them. The poison ex-
tracted from the reptiles is largely used
in the Pasteur institute in Paris.
Mr.. Smith is an enthusiast on the
subject of snakes, and regards them as
the most wonderful of living creatures.
He has in his collection serpents that
have gone nearly year without food
and are still fat. He has injected some
of their own poison into them without
the slightest ill-effects to them. As n
result OF his Investigations he has estab-
lished the fact that non-poisonous
snake is not affected in any way by the
poison of the venomous species.
why" said Smith, sit docs not kill
one of its own species while it is so fatal
to other creatures is one of the mystic
ries of the Almighty which we cannot

MADE FROM NIGHTMARES.

Methods Used by Artlgts VINO Design
Popular Grotesque Posters.
People who dine late at night in u
certain uptown restaurant may have
noticed n well-dressed, wild-eyed. bag
gartl-faced, dyspeptic man dcvouring
night after night with apparent relish
dishes which only the ultra brave have
courage to eat more than once month.
That man is an artist, says the New
York World, and eating indigestible
food is a part of his business, for he
is a maker of posters. Since the llse
of grotesque posters, built on the lines
of Aubrey Beardsley's phantom fan
cies and on the principle of Chimpanzee
Johanna's savage sketches, has become
general as means of advertising news
papers it is no more than right that
the world should know how the de-
signs are conceived.
The case of this wild-eyed, haggard-
faced, dyspeptic artist alone will be
cited. His may or may not be the
method used by all the better poster
makers. Every night he goes TO this
uptown restaurant, eats a welsh rab-
bit, a cold broiled lobster, two cream
rolls and dish of ice cream and drinks
quart of cheap claret. Then he goes
home, drinks two glasses of ice water,
retires and the nightmare does the rest.
In the morning he e tches the hor-
rors he saw in his dreams and finishes
them as the orders for posters pour in
He is making a fortune in the business.

There Are Enough of Them TO FORM y
Good Sized Town.
Paris is the city where the dressmak-
ing trade fourishes as it does in no
other spot in the world. In 1850 the
number of couturiercs, as given in the
Annuaire du Commerce, the CONNER
cial directory of those days, was only
1853. There were besides 67 shops for
the sale of ready-made feminine appar-
ell, but there were none, as there are
to-day, which sold lingerie or certain
articles exclusively.
In the Bottin las the Paris direc-
tory is Familiarity known of 1895 there
are 1896 couturieres and 296 CONNER
garments, besides many establish
ments which manufacture and sell
jupons de desous or under-petticoats
alone. The number of working dress
makers in Paris is estimated at $4,000.
In all France, according to NJ.
Georges Michel, the industry of manu-
featuring the various articles of wom-
ans dress is in the hands of 81, 400 male
and 143,Gi5 female owners of shops or
factories. These furnish employment
to 700, S01 persons, of whom over $780,
900 are women.
In addition to these there are 925,S55
persons who make their living from in
dustries which are tributary to that
of the manufacture of feminine appar-
ell. The total value of the product of
this labor from so many hands is esti-
mated ut c 10000, 900.
