II is 10 August that the nstursIlsts oh
serve the marvellous insect which is born,
reproduoes and dies 10 the period Of g
single night, on the banks OF the Msrne,
OF the Seine, and OF the Rhine, 1t is the
ephemere OF wbich srammerdam has
written and which is spoken OF 10 All,
totle.
The life Of this insect does DOT last be
yond four or five bours. 1t dies towards
llo'olock in the evening, after taking the
form OF butterfly about s!I hours sitter
midday. 1t is trne, however, that before
taking this form II has lived three years
in ths, OF worm, wbloh keeps always
near the border OF water in the holes
which it m mskes 10 the mud.
The change OF this worm in the water
to an epbemere which flies is 90 sudden
that one has not the time to see it. II
one takes the worm 10 the water, the hand
cannot be taken awsy before the change
is made unless by pressing the worm
slightly in the region OF the chest. by
this means it can be taken from the water
before the change takes place.
The ephemers. after leaving the water
sesksa place where it osn dlyest itself Of
q foe membrane or veil, which entirely
covers 1t. This second change takes
place 10 the air.
The ephemere assists itself with the

the back breaks apart, the wings slip ont
Of their sheath, as we sometimes take Oh
our gloves by turning them inside out.
After this stripping the ephemere begins
10 hs. Sometimes il holds itself straight

esdY to deposit its eggs, and dies as soon
IS they are deposited.

with what | fsncied was look Of recogni
tion, Presently be handed me tho paper
and pointed TO an article on a m musiosl sub
Ieot. | thou bit sir, he said politely, you
might like to see this article.
One glance was sufficient, reoogni1
cd an almost verbatim chapter Of Music
and Morals. Dlsgusted at the fraud,
handed the paper back, remarking that
was quite familiar with the contents, 10
fact, ] rsshly added, il is obspter out Of
Mnsio snd Morals. You may know the
book2
Indeed, cir never heard Of it. Who
is it by1
Oh' balI' man uahe' Ha"eis-

Oh, really never beard Of him
Haven't yon2 said l.
No, said be.

sung, + dun know where e are, in the
