Speed of Insects.

Qarom the Chicago Chronicle)
It is the popular belief that the flight
of birds is much swifter than that OF the
insects, but number of naturalists who
have been making a study of the matter
think that such is not the case A COM
mon house fly, for example is not very
rapid in its flight, but its wings make
500 beats a second and send it through the
air twenty-five feet, under ordinary cir
cumstances, in that space of time When
the insect is alarmed, however, If has
been found that it increases its rate of
speed 10 over $50 feet per second If it
could continue such rapid flight, for
mile in a straight line, 1t would cover
that distance in exactly thirty three sec
onds
II is not an uncommon thing when trav-
cling by rail in the Summer time to see
bee or wasp keeping up with the train
and trying to get in at one of the win
dows. y swallow is considered one of the
swiftest flying birds, and it was thought
until a short time ago that no insect could
escape ii. a naturalist tells of an excit-
ing chase he saw between a swallow and
q dragon fly. which is among the swift
est of insects. The insect few with in
credible speed, and wheeled and lodged
with such ease that the swallow. despite
its utmost efforts, completely failed to
oyertalle and capture ii.

MAKING ARTIFICIAL ICE.
How the Plants Are Constructed and Opp
 erated In Philadelphia.


 Artificial cold or ice may be most readily produced by the evaporation of more or less volatile liquid. In the first machines constructed this liquid was water. Que tenth of the amount of water used was converted into ice, but as it was necessary to maintain vac uum in the apparatus its perfect work ing was difficult problem. A more readily volatile liquid, therefore, had to be substituted, such as liquefied sul- phurous acid and liquefied ammonia. Being gaseous at ordinary temperatures, they are very suitable substances for this purpose. The ammonia ice machine is the one in most general use-in fact, it finds exclusive application i'll this city. This liquefed ammonia is allowed to expand in coils of pipes which are placed i'll tanks filled with brine. The temperature of the brine is thus reduced to a point below the freezing point of water-that is, to Ills degrees F.
 h this refrigerated brine are placed galvanized iron tanks having the shape of the large cakes of ice which one is accustomed to see in the wagons that pass through our city streets. After @ period of 4S-50 hours this can of water is converted into solid ice. The can is hoisted out of the brine, warmed with hot water, which allows the cake to slip out upon a shoot that runs into the storage rooms. The gaseous ammonia in the pipes can be used over and over again, a large compression engine being part of the plant, which reduces the expense of the process. From this de- seription it should be plain that there can be no taint of ammonia to give 8 taste to the ice.
 The plants usually employ distilled or artesian water, so that the ice is of the best quality, Whatever impurities the water contains are collected in the white streak found in the center of each cake. The pure water separates from the impure and freezes first. Even ten years ago the demand for ice was sup piled from natural sources, the har- vests from our own Pennsylvania riv- CTS, which were stored every winter in great houses on the shores of the streams, being supplemented by shipments throughout the summer from Maine There are now in Philadelphia 16 iee- making plants, some of which yield over 100 tons per day each, and the arti- feial product for several years has been a serious competitor of the natural arti- le.-Manufacturer

Members of lodges who feel aggrieyed by being defeated for office. and who man fest it by absensing themselves from the lodge meetings or by making unkind re- marks against the successful candidates, or resorting to questionable efforts to crip- pie OF embarrass the new officers in the discharge of their duties, do not exenplify in worry high degree the spirit of Odd Fellowship, nor do they follow the golden ruie teaching. To have an honest and worthy ambition to rise in tho order is commendable and to succeed is gratifying, but if defeat turns us away from the lodge or causes bitter feelings toward the sne- cessful rival, then our Odd Fellowship means nothing more than selfish ambi tion for office.

Why Doesn't the Boiler Bursts


 What tremendous force is struggling to tear boiler to atomsl Take, for ex- ample, horizontal tubular boiler of ordinary proportions, 60 inches in di- ameter by Is feet long, containing eighty three 1 inch tubes. Such boiler has & surface area of 40,7 square inches.
 Suppose this boiler is operated with 8 working pressure of 100 pounds per square inch, which is not at all uncom- mon. The boiler therefore sustains a to- tai pressure of 4,071,6 500 pounds, or more than 9, 035 tons.
 Do we realize what this means? The boiler has resting upon it the equivalent of column of granite 10 feet square and 254. 5 feet high, or, to put it another way, the boiler is holding up the equiv alent weight of 22,37l persons, each weighing 162 pounds.
 The best authorities agree that the ordinary draft horse, working eight hours a day, exerts an average force during that time of 120 pounds
 Now. this force acting to disrupt the boiler longitudinally is 226, 200 pounds, go that to produce an equivalent stress it would be necessary to hitch up to the ends of the boiler two teams of 1 1885 horses altogether. Strand Magazine.

The "Gailery Gods.-

The frequenters of the lofty gallery of any theater have a good deal to dc with the making or marring of any new play. Yet that Is not how they acquire their title of gods As matter of fact, the origin of the expression is this Years ago Daury Lane theater had it's ceiling painted to resemble blue sky with clouds. among which white Cupids were flying sn every direction. This seiling extended over the gallery, whose occupants thus appeared to be very near heaven. Hence the expression arose of gallery gods. "-London Answers

Many of the North American Indians were magnificent specimens of physical manhood. This was due largely, to their active outdoor life. Nevertheless, they had the wisdom to know that an active life in the open air alone, would not keep man healthy. They had their medicine men, who gathered herbs from field and forest and brewed decoctions to assist the natural processes of the various vital organs.
 Modern civilized men do not as usual thing recognize the same necessity until 1t is too late. They ignore medicine until they are within the grasp of some serious or fatal disease. The time for a man to be- gin taking medicine is when he begins to feel out of sorts. If man is thoroughly well and healthy he does not feel that way. If he does feel that way he may be pretty sure that he is half sick. When he is half sick it does not take long before he is "who1e-sick." Dr. Pierce's Golden Med ica1 Discovery is the best medicine for a man when he is sick or getting sick. 1t puts him all right all round. It puts his stomach right to begin with, and that is the most important point It puts his liver ant point. It purifies his blood and fills it with the 1ife-giving clements of the food he eats, and that is the third important point It drives out all disease germs and impurities of every description. It makes the appetite keen and hearty. It is the greatest blood-maker and hesh-builder. It cures o8 per cent. of all cases of consutnp- ton, weak lungs, splitting of blood, obsti- nate coughs and kindred ailments. Thou- sands who were given up to die have testi- fed to their recovery under this marvellous medicine. An honest dealer will not rrge substitute for the sake of little extra profit. He gives you what you ask for.
