According to |. NJ. Aldrich and L.
A. Turley, two well-known European
biologists, man is not the only living
being who delights to go skyward in
balloon. There are certain flies they
say. which invariably go through the
air in balloons whenever they get tired
of flying In the ordinary way. These
airships are composed of small bub-
bles, which are exuded from the bodies
of flies and the air In which sufiices to
support the insects whenever their
wings become weary and the fancy
takes them to ride through the air on
their tiny gossamer bladders. They
can go, 1t is said, In any desired direc-
ton by simply swaying their bodies
toward the goal which they expect to
reach. In one of these curious air
ships the biologists found the body OF
very small insect, and they are now
wondering whether II got In there by
chance or whether the proprietor Of the
balloon thoughtfully placed 1t thee
with the object Of feeding on 1t during
It's aerial journey. AS an argument In
favor of the latter hypothesis they
point out that flies while travelling In
balloons cannot satisfy their hunger
unless they return to the earth.-New
York Herald.

THE efforts OF the middle distance
men promise to be the most inter-
