families t. advent OF this enemy is
eagerly watched for on this account.
Even the children have learned to look

winged pests. One or. two seem to be

case, they simply suck the fly dry OF

that fasten upon the ordinary house
fly. One is a creature with lobster
like claws, that apparently uses the fly
as a means Of transportation. These
are not very abundant. and as they
cling to the fly they really do very lit

site, and is a most voracious blood
sucker. With the naked eye one may
see them clinging to their prey, bury

Celestial Photography.

ICE OLOSEHpnys
The art of celestial photography is of
recent origin, but during the last eight
years it has advanced rapidly, and is
now used extensively and with great
success. Carleton college, at Mortified,
Mimi, which possesses one of the fin
est telescopes in America, has made a
speciality Of photographs Of celestial
objects, and of lantern slides made
from them for the use of teachers and
lecturers. No method of illustration is
superior. The highly sensitive photo
graphic plate will receive and record
much more than the best eye can ever
see through the largest telescope yet
made. The natural eye will work to
the limit of its power of vision in a
very few minutes, while the plate can
be exposed for several hours and thus
can reveal the rays of light coming
from stars that are too small and too
distant to be discovered by any other
known process. DR.. Payne, director OF
Carleton observatory, illustrates this in
a recent article in his magazine, Pop
ular Astronomy, showing how, by
means OF photography, the question
long in dispute among astronomers
whether the Meriope star of the Plei-
AIDES cluster had about 1t a nebulou:
yelling something like the tail Of
comet, has been definitely answered II
the affirmative. Much more of grea'
interest, but previously unknown, ha!
thus been clearly revealed concerning
the whole field of this cluster; and thu
same is true with regard to many othel
celestial objects.

The accident caused recently by the
sliding of the bank on which the track
was built into the water, has drawn
the attention of intelligent persons to
the dangers that n travellers
who pass over lines built in close prox-
unity to deep water courses. Many
civil engineers consider it possible to
anchor the foundations of a track so
that it will be, to all intents and pur-
poses, perfectly secure. That the best
laid plans are not sufficient to avert
disaster. is a self-evident fact. The
causes of these slides are, first of all,
the steep embankment. then the con-
tinuous agitation of the wet mud by
the passing of trains. If a stick is
thrust suddenly into a mud bank, it
meets with instant resistance, and a
considerable amount of force Is neces-
sary to drive it in for any distance. If,
however, the stick is gently shaken or
pressed, 1t penetrates readily and rap
idly, and a very slight pressure is sufi-
cient to displace the mud for some dis
lance around. The shaking OF the
track by the moving train and the CON
sequent vibration which is communi-
Gated to the soft earth, is precisely the
condition necessary to disintegrate a
mud bank. That more such accidents
do not occur is the result of good luck
rather than good management. It is

For the past twenty or more years
the ingenuity of inventors has been
exercised in the construction of gas
saving appliances. Most of these have
turned out to be dismal failures, and
the few that have seemed successful
are Objectionable in many respects.
The one obstacle in the way of the
successful regulation of gas Is the de-
post of an adhesive gummy substance
that collects on the inside of the pipes.
Any device sufficiently delicate to con-
troll the current with any nicely speed
lily becomes clogged by this gum and
is rendered worthless. Efforts have
been made 10 introduce some SUBJ
stance that would cut this gum away,
but this involved a feeder, which is
very difficult to apply without danger
of leakage. Therefore, up to date, the
gas regulator for the use of households
is not a marked success.

actor, by a worthless crank with a

question of dealing with this class of

Justice waits until he commits muir

meet for himself. Government avenges

A Chainless Bicycle.

The wheel and its various changes
and improvements is one of the most
interesting of the topics of the present
day. Just now the possibilities of the
chainless wheel are being discussed,
and the question arises whether the
wheel of the future will be a hevel gear
or the chain with which we are so ia
miliar. One of the objections to the
chain is that it works loose and in so
doing alters the pitch and causes an
increased friction, thereby making
the wheel III harder. 1t is claimed
that the chainless machine will be
entirely free from this objection.
There is also an added advantage,
especially for ladies' wheels, in that
the sprocket wheel and chain were
very likely to catch the dress, many
serious accidents having occurred from
this cause.

Within the past few years the num-
Der of explosives has increased with
astonishing rapidity, as also the de-
mand for and the trade in these arti-
cles. Twenty years ago there were
nine factories turning out gun cotton
and nitro compounds. There are now
twenty-nine, and, as these include al
most all of the smokeless powder fac
tories, the advance in this line is evil
dent. In 1876 there Vas but one nitro
glycerine compound where now there
are nine. Neither the demand for gun
powder or the factories show any
marked increase. Over ten thousand
persons are employed in the manufac-
ture of these explosives and an enor-
nous amount of capital is invested in
such works.
