Hearing a FIx Wink.

AS the fly glides rapidly over a smooth

OF gum strong enough to give him a
sure footing and to sustain him in safe

that that upon one of his six feet is
quite sufficient to sustain the weight of
MS whole body. But if he stands still
the gum may dry up and harden quick
ly and so securely fasten the travellers
foot as to make sudden step snap the

If you wish to hear a fly walk, you
can do it without the aid of the nuga-
phone. Having made friends with the

across the handkerchief. AS he ap-
proaches your ear you will distinctly
hear a harsh, rasping sound, made by
the contact of the insects feet with

Crabs Are EiChfera

GRADS are tghting animals. In fact.
they will fight anything, says a natu.
rallst' have seen a crab, in conflict
with a lobster, catch the latter over
the tore part of the head, where the
smell Is hardest, and crush it in bv one
effort, and it rather bears out nv i6ea
that the claws of these creatures arc
particularly weapons of war; that the
moment one of them receives severe in
jury in claw it drops it off by volun-
tary amputation, severing it's connec-
ton with the body at the shoulder bv
an act OF its own will 1t seems to me
probable that if the claw were neces-
sary for feeding nature would rather
seek to cure an injury to it than let the
animal discard it altogether.
The species of crab which is most
conspicuously a fighter is the hermit
crab. Its first idea of Independent life
Is to eat harmless whelk and occunv
IT'S smell. Its next notion is to give bat
Tie to every crab of the same Dersuo-
sion as itself that it comes across. AL

A protracted investigation of the

this famous criminologist devoted
days and nights together with trusted

The HIND KIss

The kiss of the hand is undoubtedIv

converse is true. The hand kiss is
loosely asserted to be developed from
servile obeisances in which the earth.
the foot and the garments were kissed
the hand and cheek succeeding in order
OF time and approach to equality of
rank. But it is doubtful if that was
the actual order, and it is certain that
at the time when hand kissing began
there were less numerous gradations Of
rank than at later stage.
Missing of the hands between men is
mentioned in the Old Testament. also
Dy Homer, Pliny and Lucian. The kiss
was applied reverentially to sacred OBJ
Jects' such as statues of the gods. as is
shown by ancient works of art. and
also among numerous etymologies bv

was also metaphOrically applied by the
inferior or wOrshiper kissing his own
