WINGS.

A Microscopic View Of Ono of Natures
Wonderful Schemes.
At a meeting of the New York
Microsopical Society the president of
the organization exhibited, besides
other things, the ~honeybee's wing,
showing the booklets by means OF
which the lower of the two wings of
the bee is joined to the upper wing
in flying thus making them prac-
tically a single wing. The upper OF
the two wings is about half an inch
in length, the lower a little shorter.
The wings come together where they
are Joined to the body; they are other

His limbs ached. His face was sore

How long the boy slept he did not

For several minutes Rob stood there
In the dark cavern looking at the thin

Q chink by the side Of the blockad-
ing rock, with a terrible sense of ter
ror. He was literally buried alive.
He did not know how often the
smugglers. or pirates, or whatever the
gang might be, came to this place.
II their visits were limited to such
times as the BLACK Cat" brought car
goes OF smuggled goods. then 1t was
certain that he would be confined there
for weeks, and perhaps months. and
that meant that he would die there.
When the full sense Of the disaster
broke upon him. his boyish heart
throbbed with 1ear. As a young and
healthy American. he loved life. He
loved his mother, and he had looked

The gunboat BogOta, which cOnstl-
tutes a large part Of the strength OF
the Colombian navy, has had a varied
history.
She was built for a yacht at Hull,
England, twenty-five years ago, for the
Maharajah of Clutch in India. He
quickly tired of his yacht and sold her
to an English company which wanted
to use her in the North Pacific.
The vessel was named the Clutch in
honor of her former owner. Five
times in the next few years she was
wrecked, but each time she was
brought to the surface again. For a
time she was used as a ferryboat be-
tween Vancouver, B. c., the western
terminus of the Canadian Pacific rail
way, and Nanaimo, n Of the princi-
pal points on Vancouver island, across
the straits of Georgia.
Then the Alaska gold excitement
began and the Clutch became one of
the boats which carried gold seekers
to the North. She also became one of
the many to strike a rocky reef in
those Northern waters, and down
she went for the fifth time.
This time the owners were discour-
aged. They thought the boat was
hoodooed, and after looking at her
in her uncomfortable position decided

But a smothered torch gives no light,
and Rob could not feel that he was
any better off than before. He had
never learned to smoke, and therefore
carried no matches. II he only had
a match!
Suddenly 1t occurred to him that he
did not have on his own clothes, but
Captain Torreyo, of the BLACK Cat"
instinctiveiy he felt in the pockets OF
his velvet jacket.
First he brought out a package OF
Spanish cigarettes. which he threw
away, not having any use for them.
In another pocket-oh, joy! he dis
covered a box of matches. 1t was
something to wear the jacket Of a
smoker, after all.
With feverishly trembling fingers,
Rob lighted a match and applied it to
the torch. In an instant it burst into
flame and lit UP the gloomy cavern
around him. The smoky fame, while
1t gave light enough for him to see,
made the shadows even more terrible.
And with the light held above his head
Rob gazed with strained eyes into the
inky blackness Of recesses opening out
on three sides.
But Rob had been through the cav
erns when a dozen such torches had
been blazing. and he knew there was
nothing there that would harm him.
There were no wild beasts. So, bolster
ing up his courage with this one con
soling thought, he began a thorough
exploration of the place. From one
cave to another he went closely ex-
aiming the sides, always on the alert
to catch a glimpse OF what might be
another opening. But he saw none.
There were the great stores OF contra
band ~goods-enough to make a dozen
men rich II sold at fair prices, but
nothing that Rob wanted.
To all the rest OF his discomfort now
came the pangs OF hunger. He did not
| know how long he had slept; therefore
| he could not Judge how long he had
| been in the caves. But he knew he
was very hungry.
He now applied himself to searching
| for something to eat.
There was plenty Of tobacco, easily

submerged at high tide, and hen the
tide was low a great hole could be
seen in her bow.
The insurance agents visited the
Clutch, lying near Juneau, and decided
that she was a total loss. Then she
was left to her fate by her owners,
but they did not refuse the small sum
that an American captain offered
them.
This American had a particular
fondness for raising sunken vessels
when they had been abandoned. He
was sure he could save her.
He took three or four men with
him and for three months labored be
tween tides mending the rent in the
hull. Only for an hour or two a day
could he do any work. With the re-
ceding tide each day he carried out
and put in place the big patch, and
when he had it finished and the water
was excluded the boat rose with the
next tide.

to die in that dark hole, a lingering,
painful death by starvation. Oh! it
was terrible.
But Rob was a true American boy.
After the first few minutes Of stupe-
faction his spirits returned, and he
began to think of finding a way out.
He grCDed about the opening, now
so we'll blocked by the heavy rock, but
the largest aperture he could find
was simply large enough for him to put
his hand through. He could not move
the rock an inch.
While thus engaged in his futile eff
forts the thought came to him that
perhaps this was not IN accident. Per
haps, after all, Lemuei StaTne had
recognized him-had told Captain FL
win who he was-and he had been
missed, traced to the caverns and lock-
ed in to await q terrible death by star
walton, or to be kept until they saw
fit to release him and kill him some
other way. Any way he looked at it,
death Seemed certain.
With a dull heart Rob left the open
ing, now, alas! opening no longer, and
cropped his way in the darkness
through the caverns. 1t vas dark as
night, and darker. There were no
moon and stars in this damp and
grewsome place to shed a little light
and cheeriness. All was dark and
damp and dismal.
In his aimless wanderings, Rob's feet
struck against something, and he at
once thought Of the torches the men
had used when they brought in the
goods. The thing he had kicked
sounded like n Of these. He stopped
and picked it up. 1t was just what
he thought it was-a torch made OF
some kind of soft stuff like cotton
waste, wrapped on a bar of iron and
soaked in oil. The odor from it show
ed that it had been recently used
probably by the men who had been
with him.

HAPTE VI.--(Continued).

The gang he was with had returned
muttering among themselves, and he
looked up to see the cause. He was
amazed, and felt a thrill Of terror rush
over him, for there, standing with Cap
tain Elvin and Torrevo, engaged in
earnest conversation, was Lemuel
Starne.
Now Rob thought surely he would be
killed. He thought he now understood
some OF the hatred he had incurred.
Starne, Elvin and the captain Of the
BLACK Cat" were all in one gang.
Therefore, II Starne had any reason
to wish his death, the others must
have the same reason
There was no way to escape them
now. He could not turn back.
When they were taking UP their
loads Torrevo rushed out and beat Rob
with his ropes end SO that poo Rob
kept his face vent down almost to the
ground till he got clear of his tor

part way up the ridge.
The boys heart was broken with
grief and terror. What should he do?
To continue in this way was simply to
be killed. Was there no hope of es-

and this time the black interior seemed
to the tortured fellow like a haven of
rest. And when the gang turned to
leave a sudden Inspiration came to
Rob. He knew that the last of the
cargo was not on its way to the cave.
1t was possible that he would not be
missed if he did not return. With no
definite purpose, except to escape the
blows and curses of Torrevo, he darted
away from the gang and hid in a black
recess behind a pile of bales of to-
baccO.
The men came in with their bur.
dens, and then went out. Those who
went out now did not return again.

A New Departure.

The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
Railroad has recently put in service on
its Pioneer Limited trains the largest
end handsomest dining car ever built.
1t is 50 feet in length from tip to tip,
and its body is six inches wider an q
higher than the usual dining car. 1t
seats 50 people comfortably in movable
chairs, and has kitchen large enough
to permit the working of six cooks which
with six walters and conductor make
up the cres The dining cars hereto
fore in sert,,,, did not provide sufficient
space to properly care for the large
number OF patrons OF the Pioneer, SO
that 1t became necessary to have a
larger ear.
