The Irritating
~ - Fly

If there Is any living creature that
you think you know. Il ie the fly. But
while you have seen flies, and have.
perhaps, been tormented by some OF
that family, how much do you really
know about them? The flies you know
best are the house fly, the stable fly,
and the mosquito. Their general fam
lily name is diptera, which is given as
well to other members of the family
for It is legion. "Diptera" means twice
winged-a term which belongs to all
two-winged insects. The larvae OF the
house fly and of the stable fly are born
In Nth, but as soon as they are fully
developed they soar into the sunshine
and free air. Only on damp days do
they care to enter houses and stables;
for flies cannot bear to be out in the
wet So sensitive are they to moisture
that they will go almost anywhere to
avoid it, We do not need to tell you
that to drive flies from the house you
should darken the rooms and give the
little creatures a chance to escape into
the sunshine. They will avail them
selves OF 1t readily enough As the
flies OF which we are speaking develop
in flth. 1t is natural that cleanly hui
mSn beings should do their best to be
rid OF them. Flies swarming upon ar
ticles OF food are a menace to health,
as any physician will tell you.
Scientifically Considered.
To keep to the house fly and to be-
| gin at the beginning, we must tell
you that 1t is one of the short-horned
diptera, its special name of brachycera
meaning short-horn or antenna, be-
cause the antennae are short. They
are also three-jointed with the third
Joint ringed. II you can look at a
common house fly under the micro
scope you will at once see what we
mean. This fly lays its eggs In
manure or other filth, and as 100 or
200 eggs are usually laid by single
female, you see that a mother fly Is
very much like the famous old woman
who lived in shoe. In warm weather
II takes only few hours for the eggs
to hatch in maggots or larvae; II takes
only a week for the maggots to be-
come full grown flies; within two
weeks they are busy starting families
of their own. II the common fly had
no enemies it would torment mankind
far more than it does. Nature man

An Example Is the settlement OF COsms
In Paraguay.
Comparatively few persons are
aware of the existence in Paraguay of
little English-speaking colony
named Cosme, and of its attempt to
organize community Oh the highest

as the result of a secession from the
New Australia colony, the founders of
Cosme seem to have steered clear of

wrecked the parent movement. One

John Lane, who says of the colony
I'VE are running now on the lines on
which New Australia started; we are
communistic in so far as we share
our earnings equally, irrespective OF
the capacity OF the individual. The
present outlook is highly satisfactory,
but we want more adult members. Our
all married, and twenty-six men; for
ty-two all told exclusive of the chill
dren. We have $4,000 acres of land,
half forest and half pasture, but only
the forest land Is good for cultivation.
In the matter of finance our assets ex-
ceed our liabilities, and that is gener-
ally considered to be a sound position
We can easily raise our own food sup
ply. Every family lives in its own
house, and the bachelors have houses
of their own, but take their meals at
the cooperative dining-room. their
cooking being done for them by col
ony labor. This cooperative com

called a parliament. although 1t is on

ABOUT VANILLA.
A Plant Esteemed for Its Flavor ani
Aroma

A Plant Esteemed for Its Flavor AMI
Aroma.
The vanilla is an orchidaceous,
climbing vine, which often reaches
over 80 feet in height, and is usually
about the thickness of ones little flu
ger. The vine is round. knotted at In
tervals, and covered with dark green
spear-shaped leaves. II throws out a
number of thin arms or aerial roots as
il rises, which. attaching themselves u
neighboring trees, appear to derive
therefrom such nutriment that the
vines are little dependent on the soil
in fact, often when all other modes Of
entirely nour sh the plant. Occasional
ly the wild vines completely cover the
branches of the tree and, running
from II into adjacent ones, they VIII
hang In huge stocns and arches so
thick that they seriously impede ones
progress in the bush. The vines bios
som profusely-uspally in the spring
the strange and delicate flowers, with
their long, strag cling and pale yellow
petals. springing from the angles
where the leaves branch off. After a
few days existence the flowers wither
and fall. and as their chance of fertili-
zation through any of the outside
agencies on which they depend Is a
brief one. and precarious at best, 1t is
not surprising to find that very few
OF them are succeeded by fruit. This
takes the 70. m of a large pod, and,
strange to say, although the pods at
tain their full growth within fifty
days from the fall of the petals, they
take fully seven months more to ripen.
The pods vary from to IL inches In
length and are about Ike a banana
but are better described as resembling
a knife sheath; hence the name
vanilla, which is a corruption of the
Spanish word vainilla-a small scab-
bard. Each pod contains a quantity
of small black granlles. surrounded by
a balsamic pulp whose peculiar COM
bination Of oil and acid is supposed d to
impart to the pods that delicious flavor
and powerful aroma for which they
are so Justly esteemed.-Chambers

was convened, and flogging and exile
were chosen as a sentence in keeping
with the enormity Of the crime.
The promptness with which the
whole procedure was gone through
might have served as warning
to wiser men. But this was not the
case with our gambler-robbers. Next
day they appeared in camp very drunk
and very noisy. vowing dire vengeance
on their punishers. Such ignorance
and insolence was too much to ask any
respectable forty-niner to stand, and
at mass meeting OF righteously in
dignant miners. hastily convened, the
decision to hang the men was made.
This sentence was carried out as
promptly as the previous one. The
crowd marched down the street to a
big oak tree. and there with dozen
husky pioneers at the long end OF each
rope the bad men met their fate. There
after the miners said "Hangtown"
when they referred to the little Sierra
camp.

ROOSEVELT

Men who Judge persons and events

think President Roosevelt harbors
some resentment toward Senator Han

nomination for Vice-President at the
Philadelphia convention, says Wash

and never did. When Col. Roosevelt
was in Washington a few weeks be-
fore the meeting of that convention
he exacted from Senator Hanna a
promise that he would make Roose
velt's nomination for Vice President
impossible. The senator did his best
to keep his word There never was
any Misunderstanding between them

lex being Pliny's name for the fly.
They have feathery antennae and a
fringe of hairs on the hind margin
OF the wing. The larvae develop in
the surface Of stagnant pools. As the
larvae have a respiratory tube open
at the tail end, they rest vertically
near the surface of the water, head
down and the tail at the surface, in
order to breathe through that end.
The reason they are killed by pouring
kerosene oil over the water is that
the oil makes a film through which
they cannot breathe, which literally
smothers them to death. The black
flies, on the other hand, are long
horned flies, the nematocera. What
boy in the Adirondack woods this
summer, or in past summers, has not
seen and felt them? The females
alone, like the female mosquitoes. are
the blood suckers. The larvae also
live and develop ON the surface of the
water.
