How Fly Walks on Ceiling,

Few people, probably know what it
is that enables flies to walk on the
selling. It has been supposed that
their ability to do so was due to the
fact that each of their feet is a
miniature air pump. This theory was
found to be unsound, and it was then
explained that the feat was made pos
sible my means of viscous sub
stance which exuded from the hairs
on their feet.
This theory also was abandoned as
being only partly accountable for the
facts; and the preferred explanation
is that flies are enabled to walk up.
side down on smooth substances by
the help of capillary adhesion. An in
vestigator has found by series of
nice calculations-such as the weigh

fly would be upheld by capillary at
traction were it four-ninths as heavy
again as it is. Each fly Is sup
posed to be furnished with from 49,
900 to 10000 minute foot-hairs; these
exude an oily fluid, and it is because
of the repulsion between watery
surface and this oily liquid that a fly
finds it difficult to mount a dampened

grain growing are carried on quite
successfully in this northern zone;
but it is found more profitable to COM
bine all the features of the industry.
An authority on the subject has
stated that agriculture in any country
never reaches the maximum of de-
velopment until the farmers engage at
least proportionately in dairying,
though the surroundings must always
determine the extent to which any
feature Of the industry may be prose
cuted.

woven with creepers and tangled I'M

party encountered the spoor Of the
okapi. This was followed for sew

came upon the animal fifteen feet in

could obtain his rifle from one of the
natives accompanying him the okapi
had escaped in the thick under
growth. 1t stood between ten and
eleven feet in height, was Of gen.
