s,eed of Insects md Birds.

It is the popular belief that the
flight of birds is much swifter than
that of insects, but number of nat
uralists who have been making q study
of the matter think that such is not
the case. A common house-fy, for
example, is not very rapid in its fight,
but its wings make eight hundred
beats q second, and send it through
the air twenty-five feet, under ordi-
nary circumstances, in that space of
time. When the insect is alarmed,
however, it hos been found that it in
creases its rate Of speed to over one
hundred and fifty feet per second. If
it could continue such rapid flight for
O. mile in straight line it would cover
that distance in cxectly thirty-three
seconds. 1t is notan uncommon thing,
when travelling by rail in the summer
time, to see bee or wasp keeping mp
with the train md trying to get in at
one of the windows. A swallow is
considered one of the swiftest flying
birds, and it was thought, until
short time ago, that no insect could
escape it. A naturalist tells OF an
exciting chase he saw between a swal-
low and dragon.hy, which is among
the swiftest of insects. The insect
flew with incredible speed, and wheeled
and lodged with such ease that the
swallow, despite It's utmost efforts,
completely failed to overtake and cap
ture it.-San Francisco Argonaut.

Raising Seefllinr3

The process of raising plants Of
various kinds from seeds extends over
the greater portion of the year, and
no time is more important than the
present in this respect. There are
many plants of which seeds can be
sown now with better prospects of
success than atany other, and amongst
them may be noted calceolarias, prim-
ulas, cyclamens and cinerarias, all of
them being great favorites with ANA
teur growers. Of course, where pos
sible, the boxes, pots or pans of seeds
must be placed in the greenhouse, but
a fair proportion will germinate in q
warm window if they are care
fully looked after. Use light soil, and
water it wellprior to sowing the seeds,
which need not be covered with soil.
Place on the receptacle piece of glass
and over that brown paper or damp
moss, and, until the seeds vegetate, no
further attention will be required be-
yond wiping the glass quite dry each
morning. As soon as the tiny plants
can be seen the paper must be re-
moved, and the glass slightly tilted.
AS they attain size, pricking off and
eventually potting will be necessary,
and every effort should be made to
keep the plants constantly growing

cr,ss,,onnor Kills n Turtle.

One of the soldiers stationed ct
Tampa sent to DIR. Alfred E. Wads:
worth of Brooklyn letter in which
he described q battle he witnessed be-
tween grasshopper and a large snap
ping turtle. The fghtresulted in the
death of the turtle, which had
awakened the anger of the grasshop-
per by killing its mate.
The fight occurred on the bank of q
small stream in which the soldier had
cast fishing line. While watching
the line he saw two grasshoppers
Jump from tree aud land on the
bank. Right beside them was big
turtle, which Immediately snapped
one of the hoppers. Instantly the
survivor jumped upon the turtles
back. The turtle withdrew its head
within its shell, and the grasshopper
perched itself OIL the edge of the
covering, just at the point where the
head of the turtle had disappeared.
There it waited patiently. :;
It was some time before the turtle
protruded its head. Then it did so
very slowly and cautiously, looking
about apparently for the other grass
hopper. The insect was on the watch,
and when the sleepy eyes OF the tur-
tie were exposed it apparently spat
into one of them. The reptile with
drew its head instantly. The grass
hopper remained where it was. The
head of the turtle was not long hidden.
In a few minutes the turtle protruded
it to look for it's foe. The grusshopper
made forward movement and tried
to reach the other eye OF the turtle.
T. failed, however, and narrowly es-
capped being caught by the snapper.
The latter made every effort to get OF
it,, but. quick as were the movements
of the turtles head, these OF its small
enemy were quicker, and the grass
hopper managed to keep out of danger.
Finally it managed to spit in the other
eye Of the reptile. Then the turtle,
blinded, gave up the fight. The grass
hopper waited around for halfaa hour,
and then hoped off, The soldier
picked up the turtle and was surprised
to tiud that it was dead. He says in
his letter that it must have been
poisoned by the saliva the grasshopper
Injected into its eyes.-New York
