When the mosquito struggles-as can
frequently be noticed-these hooks
have clasppd something which Is clasp
ed the tighter as the insect tries vainly
to fly away.
But it is in the visual apparatus that
nature shows the most marvellous
adaptablity to the lives Of the bugs.
Some of the eyes DR.. Riese has placed
on microscopic slides are marvels Of
intricacy. The fact that they are sta
tionary, without lateral or vertical
power-they can not alter the focus or
direction of gaze-makes 1t necessary
for the insect to be provided with lens
es so cut up with facets that they will
capture aud retain pictures In almost
every degree OF the lateral and vertical
planes Insects can see as well be-

Driving Turkeys TO Dawson.

When the steamship Elder tied up at
Juneau from Portland she had aboard
1000 dozen Of frozen eggs and some dead
and some live turkeys, which their owner
expects to rush through to Dawson in
time for THANKSGIVING. The live turkeys,
he says, he intended to drive in over the
Chilkoot pass and Dawson trail. When
old Dave Thompson, a prospector OF
three seasons experience in Yukon coun-
try, who came out Of Dawson up the riv-
or, heard about this, he began to laugh.
Half an hour later Mr.. Thompson was
still laughing, black in the face pounding
table, and saying to himself:
Gee whiz, but this beats me-"
He says that the cold in the interior Is
50 intense in November that it burns the
skin off the face. and that the turkeys
will be frozen on the walk.-San Fran.

The theory" said DR.. REESE, that
insects have cup-shaped examinations
to their legs. which enable them to
travel up a wall or up a glass is not
correct. They have nothing Of the kind
at least none examined has. Sue
tic2, the supposed force which keeps
them in Their seemingly unscientiflc po-
sition. Is not used at all. Those hooks
are used as a monkey uses the long
fingers and as bird uses its claws, to
grasp any roughness on the surface.
If the smoothest piece Of glass known
were examined under a powerful mi
croscope it would be seen to be mass
Of inequalities. Now, the hook or
hooks-some have several on one leg
are so small that they can be inserted
in these inequalities. Thus what seems
to be violation Of natural laws Is seen
to be merely an accommodation there
to.
Look at this set Of hooks on the end
Of the leg of the mosquito. a close
glance will reveal the fact that this
insect has powerful double hooks
working from opposite sides of the leg.
These can close up on anything too
small to be seen and hold on with great
power. The spider you will also see
has set of hooks which he uses with
legs several times as long as the diam
eter Of his body. He must have tre-
mendous muscular power to use those
legs at all. yet he handles each in sue.

Washington, Oct. 25-col. Charles

yesterday and presented his respects to
Secretary Hay. The call was brief, be-
cause of the secretary's desire to be at

in the cabinet meeting, but Col. DENLY
was enabled to perfect arrangements
for meeting of the commission at the
state department the latter part of this
week. Professor Worcester, he said,
will reach here Thursday. The commits
sion will meet in the diplomatic recep-
ttion room. Col. DENLY went to the
white house after leaving the state de-
partment and saw the president for a
few moments. He called by appoint
ment at the executive mansion later In
the afternoon and had confidential
conference with the president relative
to the situation in the islands.
Secretary Hay informed Col. DENLY
that the president desired speedy ac-
