A CURIOUS INSECT.
Lives Only Part of Single Night
is Rapid Changes.

Lives Only Part of Single Night
is Rapid Changes.
1t is in August that the naturalists
observe the marvellous insect which is
born, reproduces, and dies in the
period of single night, on the banks
of the Warne, of the Seine and of the
Rhine. 1t is the ephemere of which
Sirammerdam has written, and which
is spoken of in Aristotle.
The life of this insect does not last
beyond four or five hours. 1t dies to-
wards II o'clock in the evening
after taking the form of a butterfly
about six hours after midday 1t is
true, however, that before taking this
form it has lived three years in that Of
worm, which keeps always near the
border of water in the holes which it
makes in the mud.
The change of this worm in the
water to an ephemere which flies is
so sudden that one has not the time
to see it. If one takes the worm in
the water the hand cannot be taken
away before the change is made, I'M
less by pressing the worm slightly in
the region of the chest; by this means
it can be taken from the water be-
fore the change takes place.
The ephemere, after leaving the
water, seeks a place where it can di-
vest itself of a fine membrane or veil,
which entirely covers it. This sec
ond change takes place in the air.
The ephemere arrests itself with the
point of its little nails as firmly as it
can; it makes a movement similar to
that of SILVER; then the skin on the
middle of the back breaks apart, the
wings slip out of their sheath, as we
sometimes take off our gloves byturn-
ing them inside out. After this strip
ping, the ephemere begins to fly.
Sometimes it holds itself straight up
on the surface of the water on the end
Of its tail, tapping its wings one
against the other. 1t takes no nour-
ishment in the five or six hours which
are the limit Of its life 1t seems to
have been formed but to multiply, for
it does not leave its state of a worm
until it is ready to deposit its eggs,
and it dies as soon as they are de-
posted
In three days time one sees appear
and die all species of ephemeres.
They last sometimes until the fifth
day, for the reason that some malady
has affected some of them and pre-
vents them from changing at the same
time as the others.-Cleveland
Leader.

A MISLEADING SIGN.
Well-Known Actor Has His Joke on
an Undertaken.


an Undertaken.
Whenever the elder Sothern ar
rived at a town one of his first means
of diversion was to stroll about the
streets and have fun with the natives.
He was in Chicago during her ear
ly days, and one day he saw a sign
over an undertaker's establishment
which read: Everything Furnished
for First-class Funerals"
Going inside, he inquired:
"Do you furnish everything for
funerals?"

"Then | want a casket."
He described the kind and the or

'Do you want carriages?"
eyes; have five carriages ready"
eyes, sir, Anything else?"
"Three dozen chairs"
"Anything else?"
"You might have a hearse ready"
is that ALL"
"Why, no; you couldn't have a
funeral with only carriages, hearse
and casket Now / would like to look
at the corpse"
Like to look at the corpse? I
don't understand"
81 want to see what kind of a corpse
you can furnish and know what the
price will be-"
The clerk was amazed
"You advertise to furnish every
thing for funeral, don't your" said
Sothern. "Well, you can't have a
funeral without a corpse"
The sign had been altered when
Sothern passed the following day

New Sheet Metal.

BY process which is carefully
guarded, something new in the work
ing of sheet metal has been produced.
Steel sheets are coated with alumni
ium 1t is claimed that these are SUI
perior to and more durable than gal
gGhzed iron, tin plate or planished
iron for many purposes for which
those metals are now generally used.
The special advantages of such alum
inilHn coated sheets are stated TO be
that they can be worked and scanned
without peeling; the coating, adher-
ing absolutely TO the sheets, can be
easily soldered, will resist the action
of sulphuuous gases, and can be heated
10 a red heat without destroying the
Ncoating Moreover, such sheets can,
when desired, be polished to Iuster
equal to FURNISHED silver or nickel.

covered surface is presented, free
FROM imperfections of any kind,
Aldminium-coated sheets, plated
with copper, are also produced, and
these also take a high polish.

SHERLOCK HOLMES, JR
5Y Wonderful Reasoning He Effects

BY Wonderful Reasoning He Effects
the capturi Of a Bicycle Tn eff
''Hahp exclaimed Sherlock
Holmes, Jr., the great bicycle thief
catcher, "yonder goes our man. You
say the wheel that was stolen from you
was a ~ gear, with rams horn ham
dlebars?"
"Yes," replied the man who had
been robbed
"Good, said Holmes. "rhat is the
kind yonder fellow rides. / can sec
at a glance, too, that he uses a stolen
wheel"
Wonderful" his companion ejac-
ulated GLOW is it possible for you
to tell all this by merely glancing at
him?"
easy enough, my dear sir, if you
know how" the great detective an
swered. "Look at his hands. You sec
they are sunburned only upon the
bony surface just above the thumbs.
If he used the old style handlebars his
hands would be sunburned all over
the backs"
"Most extraordinary deduction I
ever heard Of" said the citizen.
'Now," continued Sherlock Holmes,
Jr., "notice his walk. You see it is
just an ordinary gait. If he rode a
low-geared machine he would move
with quick, nervous steps. On the
other hand, if his wheel was high
geared, his steps would be slow and
firm. But he walks along in just a
common way, hence the bicycle that
he rides is medium gear"
"This is simply astonishing" de-
clared the man at the detectives side.
'Now tell me how you would know
that the fellow rides stolen wheel"
The great thief-catcher drew long
pull from his cigarette, permitted the
smoke to circulate freely through his
lungs for about a minute and a half,
and then replied:
"Look at his nose"
ellis nosew exclaimed the other.
"Surely you can't tell whether a man
is thief or not by simply looking at
his nosep'
"Not in all cases." Holmes re-
sponded, "but in such cases as this
it is the simplest thing in the world
You see the end of his nose has been
exposed to the sun. 1t has just be-
gun to peel off. Well, what does that
signify? Merely this, my dear sir;
the fellow has not dared to buy a cap,
for fear of rousing suspicion, so he
has been getting along with a common
hat, with the result that ] have
pointed out"
The wonderful man then walked
up to the thief, clapped pair Of hand
cuffs upon him, when the evidence, as
set forth here, was in court, there wa!
nothing left for the culprit but to con
fess and receive his sentence of i'm
prisonment at hard labor for life

rear of the place. To his dismay he
was confronted by nothing but lit

onion, some pickles and two or three
crusts of bread He could not even
smell the hot and juicy roast or the
steaming corned beef and cabbage
which he had pictured in fancy as be-
ing dished up by iolly-looling cook
in a white apron.
His voice trembled as he went back
to the barkeeper.
"There's nothing on the counter
