LIGHTWEIGHT INSECTS.
A Mountain Of Tuls enais Which Weighed Practl-
caIy No'hlnp.

There is in the far West a little in
sect called the "tule gnat,' which Is
remarkable for It's almost total lack OF
weight, observed "a naturalist. This
tiny insect has a nearly microscopic
body, but a relatively large spread OF
wing, which gives ii the apparent size
of mosquito. In some parts OF Cali
fornia have seen, says a writer in tho
Washington Star. the gule gnats swarm
so densely about burning lamps that
several times during the evening the
dead had to be cleared away TO give
the lamp a chance to burn.
In brightly illuminated stores the
gnats are veritable pests. and IL was In
a Lake County (Cal.) drug store that I
recently saw curious experiment made
with the insects. AS many gnats were
collected as could be heaped on the
delicate apothccary's scales the small
est weight, used I'm measuring the light
est drugs, was then put upon the oppo-
site pan. and II was found to overbal-
ance the mountain OF gnats.
