there is a rift in the roc TO connect
with the snow mass in the ravine, which
is probably the case. In this cave OF
snow the Indians nav excavated rooms
in which they store their walrus and
seal meat and whale blubber. There
such provisions quickly freeze and are
kept so congested indefinitely or until
needed for use.
Where these people have come from
is the curious problem in the estima-
ton of the three whalers, as a few
years ago the island was almost entire
ly depopulated of its inhabitants by
starvation.
Food in that region is no longer so
abundant as to be readily o~btainable
with the primitive weapons n imple-
ments used by the Indians. The Amer
lean whalers from the south have near
ly rid the waters of the white whale,
the great God Of these natives. and
what FISH of this variety there is now
seeks the protection of the frozen ocean.
or IL the fish venture south through the
strait they are so wild and timid that
IL is rarely possible hat an Indian viii
lager can catch one of them.
The walrus, too. such an important
animal in he Eskimo's scheme of sub
sistence. has so nearly disappeared that
the visit of one about the island Is now
a rarity. The whalers have caught and
destroyed them for the ivory of their
tusks The caribou on the mainland
are all gone and the Indian Is now
forced to subsist mainly on small FISH
and sea lions. Some OF the salmon.
however. are enormously large. being
five feet long and weighing as much as
120 pounds. Their skins are heavy n
tough and when scaled and tanned are
used to cover biarkas-the Eskimo boat.

To- PHOTOGRAPH A FLY'S EYE

The most freakish phase of the cam
era craze IS the taking of photographs
through the eye Of a fly. Freakish as IL
sounds. 1t has been done. and here is
the way IL is done. II any amateur
photographer wishes to try the expert
ment. 1t is one requiring great pa
tience n delicacy of operation. as
may be imagined from the smallness
OF the material with which the work
is done. but with the exercise of care
Il can be accomplished.
To explain why 1t is possible for this
interesting experiment to be success
fully accomplished it is necessary to
say that the photographing is done by
the lenticular facettes of an insects
compound eye. The outer covering of
the eye. known as the cornea. is sub
divided into a number of extremely
small. closely facettes. that in
some instances are so numerous as to
occupy nearly the whole of the iy's
head. The best for the purpose is the
large dragon fly, as parts OF the eye
of this insect are nearly Hat, and serve
the purpose better than the convex eye
OF other insects.
when the fly is selected the next
thing to do Is to remove the eye and
embed IL I'm melted bees wax, taking
care to leave one eye uncovered. Hav-
ing secured a firm hold on the head
by means of the bees wax. go all
around the cornea with a sharp point
ed instrument. Then lift h entire
mass off where the perforations ave
been made. You have then the head Of
the fly embedded in a groundwork of
bees wax with the cornea ready for
separation from the head.
Next melt the bees wax, remove the
head, and float the separated cornea,
with it's contents uppermost.. upon the
still fluid wax and allow the latter
TO set. Pare a quill to the shape of a
] pen. making the point slightly round
ed and thin, and with 1t scrape out

Impudence occasionally meets with Its

Aspect of Canary Islands Vegetation.

Alice Carter Cook in Appleton's Pop
ular Monthly.
The soil Is very rich. With Irrigation
three harvests a year are regularly
gathered on Canary and Tenerife. The
water supply is largely kept up by the
cloud belts. which ever in the driest
seasons form almost daily Over the
higher mountains, feeding the springs
there. which are the life Of the land.
But, as has already been said. the
rocky, volcanic nature of the coast for
bids the entrance OF many plants. and
this fact has had great influence on the
character of the fora. The craggy hills
and stony shores have a decidedly des-
ert aspect. and adaptations to drought
in the form OF fieshy, hoary. and cor
iaceous leaves and stems abound Eu-
phorbias take the place and have the
appearance OF the cacti OF American
deserts. Fleshy crassulaceae of the
sempervivum group are more abundant
here h in any other part of the
world. There are 222 species of them
which are found nowhere else. Such
fieshy plants are not confined to the
volcanic wastes and shores. They
project from the most precipitous and
rocky sides of the mountains.
