speak, it has three ordinary eyes, all in a
row. Each one of the two big, blazing
eyes is made up of no fewer than %, 900
highly polished facets, each with high
lens power, which not only accounts for
the intense brilliancy of the eyes, but gives
to them a microscopic and ali-seeing power
beyond human ken. Any prey that es-
capes the eye of a dragon fly is welcome to
its freedom from pursuit and capture.
There is another peculiarity in the
makeup of the dragon fly that has been a
source of much regret to naturalists from
the time naturalists first appeared In
life the long, segmented body of the insect
is marked with most brilliant and beautiful
bands of colors The instant death en-
sues these colors fade and disappear, leav
ing only an ugly graysh trunk. Science
has failed to find Il way to prevent this
fading of the dragon hy's hues, conse-
quently all representations of dragon fly
colors i'll collections are artificial. They
are reproduced by carefully dissecting the
insect and painting he hues on the inside
OF the body, the transparent SKIN OF Sheil
permitting the artificial coloring to show
through. Alive the dragon fly, in spite
Of its terrific front, is one of the most roy
ally beautiful of all insects. Dead, it is
the ugliest.
ANY one who has watched dragon
fly fitting above the surface of small, reedy
ponds or near the shores of large ones, late
in the summer or early in the fall, has no
tced its frequent dipping of the extremity
of its long body lightly in the water as it
Skins along The dragon fly that does
that is always the female, and every time
she dips her body in the water she deposits
an egg. The specific gravity Of the egg
is such that it sinks to the bottom among
the weeds, and in due time matches out
the formidable looking creature whose de-
velopment into the perfect dragon fly |
have described. 1t takes three years tor
an egg to become the perfect fly. y

GODS PLOw OF SORROW.


Gods plow of sorrow Sterile Is
The field that is not turned thereby:
And but a scanty harvest his
Whom the great Plowman paSseth by.
Gods piow Of sorrow Al i'll vain
His richest seed bestrew the sod;
And spent for naught the sun and rain
On globes that are not powed of God.
He ploweth we'll, lie ploweth deep,
And where He ploweth angels weep.
Gods plow of sorrow Gentle child.
do not ask that He may spare
Thy tender soul tho undetiled.
Nor turn it with His iron share.
BE thine His ufter-rain of love;
And where His heavy piow hath passed
May mellow furrows bear above
A holier harvest at the last
lie pI"weth we'll. he ploweth deep,
And where he ploweth angels weep.
Gods plow of sorrow Furrowed brow,
know that God hath passed thy way;
Aud in thy soul His heavy plow
Hath left its token day by day.
Yet from the torn and broken soil,
Yea, from thy loss and from thy pain,
He hath due recompense of toll,
Be sure He hath not plowed in vain.
He ploweth well. He ploweth deep.
And where He ploweth angels weep.
Gods plOw of sorrow Do not think,
Oh, careless soul that thou shalt lack.
God is afeld, He will not shrink;
God is afield, He turns not back.
Deep driven shall the iron be sent
Through all thy fallow fields, until
The stubborn elements relent,
And 10, the Plowman hath His will
He ploweth well, He ploweth deep,
And where He ploweth angels weep.
