Waapa and FlIea.

The wasp is accepted as emblematicas
Of irritability and petty malignity, but
even this muoh abused inject plays a
beneficial part in the work Of nature.
A number Of wasps were seen by r. M.
Darlington of Bray, Ireland, buzzing
about his COWS. Closer inspection re-
vealed that they were all busy catching
flies. One white COW drew more wasps
than any of the others because the mo-
ment fly alighted it was seen at once
against the skin. When wasp catches
q fly, it Immediately bites off both
wings, sometimes leg or two and oc-
casionally the head Mr.. Darlington
saw some of the wasps, when laden with
one fly, catch another without letting
go the first and then fly away with both.
There was constant stream Of wasps
carrying away flies, probably to feed the
larvae in their nests, and returning again
TO the COWS to catch more. In about 20
minutes Mr.. Darlington estimated that
between 800 and 400 flies were caught
on two COWS lying close to him.-San

Nswspapsr Profits In London.

There was trial before Mr.. Justice
Cave recently which, if correctly re-
ported, shows what is the profit Of the
shareholders of The Times. Mr. Adams
bought one-fourteenth Of two.thirds Of
one-ninth of two-sixteenths Cor IL, 512)
of The Times from Mr. Brodie for 1858
ON the assurance that this minute share
was worth about g35 per annum. Ac-
oording to him, after he had purchased
the share, he found it only to be worth
ei7 year. On this he asked for dam
ages. The jury assessed the damages at
e65. Assuming this share to be worth
G18 per annum (which seems about the
average value), it is clear that the net
dividend on all shares is e97, 916. Mr..
Adams, believing it to be worth 1858,
paid for it 141 years purchase. The
jury valued it at 1883, which, taking
the annual return at e18, would be 16
years purchase, making The Times
worth e435, 456. This, however, does
not quite correctly, l believe, represent
the value, for Mr.. Walter, as printer,
derives large profit ON an old contract.
This contract, in point of fact, represents
what may be called preference shares,
while those Of the shareholders may be
termed ordinary shares, the value Of The
Times being the sum total Of BOTH

The Social Position of Actors.

The time was in France when the 40
cor had no social position, and certainly
no spiritual one. Special dispensation
was necessary when the Catholic church
allowed a mass to be said for the reposs
of an actors soul. In The Chautauquan
Professor Warren, describing the Mo
here period, writes:
The social position Of actors in Mo-
liere'a time was low one. Not from
any prejudice against the stage evil
IDENTIFY, since dramatists like Corneille
and Scarron were on the same footing
at the Hotel de Rambouillet and the
other salons of Paris as poets and essay
lists and were elected to the French
Academy as readily. Indeed. it would
seem as though the composition of plays
was the shortest road to distinction in
the Paris of Moliere, as it is today. But
with the actors it was another question.
Their wandering, unsettled modes OF
life had evidently told against them.
They were not admitted to society
whether their conduct was good or bad.
They were not even considered in the
light of literary persons. Moliere met
his friends Boileau, La Fontaine, Flu
retiere, at public cafes. As writer of
comedy he was either not taken serious
" or had incurred too much hostility on
the part of influential sets, the clergy
through "Tartuffe, " the salons through
Lies Femmes Savantes. As an actor
he was considered an outcast with his
Glaze and whom nm his dnathhnd he
asked for spiritual consolation mis- ap-
peal fell on deaf ears till it was too late.
So that it was with the greatest Difficult
ty that his widow procured bit of con-
secrated ground in which to lay the re-
mains of the unshrived comedian.

Trick on Visitors.

An Elephant That Used to Play Glover
Trick on Visitors.
The elephant at the Jardin dea
Plantes at Paris used to play his visit
ors a trick which could not have been
thought Of but by an animal Of much
intelligence. His house opened upon an
inolosure called the Elephants park,
containing a pond, in which he would
lay himself under the water, Ooncealing
every part Of him except the very end
Of his trunk-a mere speck that would
hardly be noticed by stranger to the
animals habits.
A crowd would assemble around the
inclosure, and, not seeing him in it,
would watch in expectation that he
would soon issue from the house. But
while they were gazing about a copious
sprinkling Of water would fall upon
them, and ladies and gentlemen, with
their fine bonnets and coats, would run
for shelter under the trees, looking up
at the clear sky and wondering whence
such shower could come,
Immediately afterward, however, they
would see the elephant rising slowly
from his bath, evinoing, as it seemed,
an awkward joy at the trick that he
had played. In the course of time his
amuscn. ent became generally known,
and the moment the water began to rise
from his truuk the SPECTATORS would
take flight, at which he appeared ex-
ceedingly delighted, getting up as fast
as he could to see the hustle he had
caused -Pittsburg Dispatch

FOSSIL ReptIle Tracks.

The greatest region in the world for
fossil tracks Of the reptiles which lived
in the early days of the world is that'in
the vicinity of Portland, Conn. Some Of
those old time monsters walked as BIZ
peds on feet that made tracks 10 to 20
inches long. These tracks are almost as
broad as they are long, and the stride
shows that the "reptile" must have been
fully IL feet in height. Formerly these
wonderful fossil tracks Of tho Connec-
tiout valley" were said TO be tracks of
ancient birds, but of lGta the biologists
have taken a different view, declaring
them to be marks left by reptiles. st.

Most WhecIs Are Overolied.

So many bicyclists have been observed
suffering from clogged chains that a
word of advice may with propriety be
repeated: Oil the chain-nothing is
more necessary, but be sure not to have
it wet Each link should be thoroughly
luLricatcd, and then the chain should be-
rubbed dry. No amount Of rubbing, it
should be remembered, can remove the
oil from the parts between the links,
where it is needed, ard not particle If
oil is required on the exterior ST c.
The dripr that is the better. The oil,
if exposed, picks up aud holds dust ANA

advice applies to all oiling. II so r.uci

A ~ atural Wonder,

Last week. about three miles north of
Wind Caye, and across Beaver creek,
says the Hot Springs Herald, peculiar
natural wonder was discovered. Messrs.
Petty, Cramer and Thomas have formed
a company to develop some very
promising claims and selected sites for
two shafts Mr.. Cramer suggested one
location, that owing to the appearance
Of internal disturbance. boulders lying
about in manner that would indicate
their being thrown up by upheaval, and
a shaft was commenced. Blasting was
commenced and when down about 10
feet rock was taken that assays 81 gold.
They went down but little further when
they broke through into natural chin
ney about three feet across and extend
ing to China so far as their ability to
sound it has determined. Charley
Fallon climbed down about 40 feet and
found no evidence of any end of the
shaft. The walls are spiral shaped like
an auger and are blackensd with
internal fires. The most curious varie-
ties of mineral bearing rock have been
found aud specimens are now at
Cramer's shop awaiting close sxamina-
ton and selection for assay. The most
curious Of all is o black stone that pull
yerizes readily in the fingers, leaving a
black oily stain like plumbago. They
have sent away some of the best quartz
and are now hoping for good returns.
The natural chimney will afford the
party a most excellent opportunity to
find out what there is in the earth there
and is most lucky find. The average
prospector is obliged to 60 to an endless
amount of expense with diamond drills
or shaft sinking to determine the char.
acteT of the rock underground, but this
company finds the work already done
by Dame Nature. The persistent pros
pecting now being done in this vicinity
and between here and Pringle will
surely prove that the mineral belt is no,
so far from our city as believed in the
past.

A special dispatch from Huron says:
"Old soldiers here and in this part OF
the state are protesting very strongly
against the removal of Captain Lucas as
commandant Of the soldiers home at
Hot Springs. Letters from inmates OF
the home to friends here entreat them
to use their influence to induce Governor
Lee to allow Captain Lucas to remain at
the head Of that institution. There is
some question as to the governors au-
thority in the matter. and it is urged
that So long as Captain Lucas gives such
excellent satisfaction both to inmates OF
the home and the general public. he
should be retained as commandant. His
experience in caring for the "old vets
it is claimed, should be carefully con.
sidered. Reports from posts indicate
that Grand Army men ere decidedly op
posed to a change"
