The largest known moth is the giant
atlas. a native of China, the wings of
which measure nine inches across.
The falling of leaf is brought about
by the formation Of a thin layer of veg
etable tissue at the point where the leaf
stem Joins the branch of the tree. After
the leaf ceases to make starch and SUI
gar for the tree the tissue begins to
grow, and actually cuts the leaf. The
falling OF ripe fruit is dependent upon
the same process.
Many Insects can fly faster than
birds. The common house fy can ordl-

the homes of the sea gulls.

BLIND MANS BUFF.
The Origin of This FnvOrite Sport of
Childhood and Youth.

Childhood and Youth.
This favorite sport of childhood and
youth is of French origin and very high
antiquity, having been introduced into
England in the train of the Norman
conquerors. Its French name, Colin
Maillard, was that of brave warrior,
the memory of whose exploits still lives
in the chronicles of the middle ages
In the year 800 Liege reckoned among
its valiant chiefs one Jean Colin. He
acquired the name Maillard from his
chosen weapon being mallet, where
with in fight he used literally to crush
his opponents. In one of the feuds
which were of perpetual recurrence in
those times he encountered the Count
de Lourain in q pitched battle, and, so
runs the story, in the first onset Colin
Maillard lost both his eyes. He ordered
his esquire to take him into the thickest
of the fight, and, furiously brandishing
his mallet, did such fearful execution
that victory soon declared itself for him
When Robert of France heard of these
feats at arms, he lavished favor and
honors upon Colin, and so great was
the fame of the exploit that it was com
memorated in the pantomimio repre-
sensations that formed part of the rude
dramatic performances of the age. By
degrees the children learned to act it
for themselves, and it took the form Of
familiar sport.
The blindfolded pursuer. as, with
bandaged eyes and extended hands, he
gropes for victim to pounce upon,
seems in some degree to repeat the ac-
tion of Colin Maillard, the tradition of
which is also traeeable in the name.

favorable weather there had been no meet

prepared to receive suggestions. After some
discussion as to the expediency of ceiebrat
ing, the sentiment prevailed that the time
henored custom of meeting and paradipg
should be observed: that collation. should
be provided and reception held, and, If
Some interesting "reminiscences of old
times were given when the bill of fare was
discussed, the secretary insisting that the
favorite cracker and cheese ration, such as
was served in that very room in 1872, on
the occasion of the visit Of the Friendship
company of Baltimore, should not be omit

SCHOOL CLOSES.
Prevalence of Diphtheria the Cause OF
Some Alarm

1t was announced yesterday evening that
the Congress Heights public school had
been closed until Monday. the 2Ith. The
reason given for such action is the poor
attendance of pupils during the present
weather conditions. The action of the
school authorities in having the building
closed meets with the approval of every
family in that section. it is said. Consider
able alarm has been manifested by citizens
over the spread of diphtheria among school
children, and a request had been made,
supported by the recommendation of two
physicians, that the school building De
closed for an indefinite time. Parents at
last became so alarmed that they were
keeping their children at home.
In the family of Mr.. Richard Liston ex-
lists a condition from diphtheria which has
caused universal sympathy to be extended
to him. His whole family of eight chill
dren was taken with the disease. Two have
since died.
In another family five children were
seized, one of whom is now dead. There
are many other cases. according to the
facts as gathered from physicians in Ana
costa.

the Poor.

The art gallery of the late William T.
Walters, in Baltimore, will be open We'd
nesdays in February and March, and We'd
nesdays and Saturdays in April. After
time-honored custom the funds derived
from the sale of admission tickets are de-
voted to the relief of the poor: so that
visitors have the satisfaction of feeling
that they contribute to charity at a pecu-
liar profit to themselves. Each year nun
dreds of Washingtonians visit the gallery
to view the wonderful collections there.
Tickets are on sale in Washington at Har-
ris & Skaters, No lib Pennsylvania ave-
nue. The main gallery, already replete with
the works of such masters Nlillet, Rous
Seau, Corot, Gerome, MeiSSonier, Alma
Tadema, Millais and many others, has re-
ceived a notable addition this year in the
acquisition of a dozen pieces in water and
OIL which promise to be the features of the
art season in this section. These additions
are: A portrait of Prince Maurice, a grand
son of James L of England and Madonna
and Child, by Van Dyck; a portrait OF
Charles IL, by Sir Peter Lely; a portrait of
the Duchess of Sutherland, by Sir Thomas

lOnged to the Stewart collection, which was
sold by auction a year ago The portraits
and three sacred subjects come from
abroad, and are q sensible benefit to the
gallery along lines not cultivated to the
extent of some others. These are hung in
the oriental room, and are given sufficient
space to allow each its full virtue.
The Walters galleries have many treasures
besides its canvas gems. There are rooms
filled with matchless china and invaluable
and interesting things from the orient.
There is practically no limit to the attrac-
tiveness of Mr. Walters elegant house, all
Of which will be open to the public on the
charity days mentioned. Washington's
large colony of artists will, no doubt lend

more poor association, and at the same time
take advantage of the opportunity pre-
scented of viewing some of the more valua-
bic pictures in the east.
