STICKY FEET OF FLIES.
How the Tiny Pedals Of the Pestifer
Gus Insect Adhere to Smooth
Surfaces.

or the common bluebottle fly
John J. Ward writes. each foot
is provided with a pair Of stout
claws. These are Of service to the
insect when walking over rough
surfaces, penetrating tiny crew
ices quite invisible to human
sight. When it climbs a perpen-
dicular wall or walks upside down
upon a ceiling the apparently
smooth surface has sufficient
roughness for these tiny claws to
get a grip upon it. However, it
may occasionally occur that the
bluebottle has other situations to
meet, where it cannot use these
hooked claws. II may alight upon
the smooth surface of the butch.
er's scales and dishes or upon the
transparent window panes of the
shop. The fly can climb such sur.
faces upon which its claws cannot
get a hold because of the two pads
between the claws. These pads
are brought into play on glass and
similar materials, the claws being
then thrown back, one to each
side, beneath the foot and out Of
the way, just as, when the claws
are in use, the pads are lifted up
between them, also to be out Of
the way"
These pads, or flaps, for a long
time were thought to hold like
by forming a vacuum.
But when some flies were put into
a vessel from which the air was
they still adhered.
Mr. Ward continues: "Since then
i has been observed that the un-
Ter side of these foot flaps is
studded with tiny hairs which ex
1de a sticky fluid and it has, there

'retion both expels the air from
the pads and at the same
time gums the pads to the smooth
surface. When we find dead hy

"When the active fly would lift

The following letter from the Gen.

s. Alton Railroad Company In refer
ence 10 the union station matter ex-
plains itself:
To the Editor OF the Ledger.
CHICAGO, ILL, January 3-Dear
Sir; Your letter December 9th.
Everything that it is possible to do
is being done to push forward the de-
pot project at Mexico, II ID was our
own matter and the question OF local
depot, we could put II up at once with
out any trouble, but there are others
to consider and all that takes time.
l do not think the matter is progress
ing any slower than matters usually
progress where union station contracts
for operation and management must
be made, signed and agreed to and
plans prepared before the building
can be occupied You can rest as
sured that WI are pushing it just as
hard as we can. Nothing will be
done very much towards a depot un-
til the weather will permit of laying
the foundations and getting to work
on the structure.
Yours truly,

CURED BY CUTICURA
IN TWO WEEKS

Mrs. ceorgeJ J. Steese, Of 7or coburn
St., Akron, Ohio, tellsi In the following
letter of another of those remarkable
cures of torturing, disfguring skin
humors daily made by Cuticura Soap,
assisted by Cuticura Ointment,
after physicians, and all else had
failed: 81 feel it my duty to parents
of other poor suffering babies to tell
you what Cuticura has done for my
little daughter. She broke out ali
over her body with a humor, and we
used everything recommended, but
without results. I called ir three doc
tors, they all claimed they could help
her, but she continued TO grow worse.
Her body vas a mass Of sores, and her
little face was eaten away, her ears
looked as il they would drop off.
Neighbors advised me TO get Cuticura
Soap and Ointment, and before I had
used half of the cake Of soap and
boz of ointment the sores had all
healed, and my little ones face and
body was as clear as a newborn babes.
I would not be without it again If II
cost five dollars, instead Of seventy-6ve
cents, which ia all it cost us to cure
our baby, after spending many dollars
on doctors and medicines without any
benefit whatever"

Farmers Lose Money,

Most OF the successes in agriculture
are only partial. Farmers as a rule
do not realize maximum returns for
their work and time They lose money
through lack OF technical informa-
ton. Technical knowledge, coupled
with industry and prudence, compels
success. The Breeders Gazette is a
as to 60-page illustrated live stock and
farm journal which brings every week
to the farmers home the latest and
most disable information along these
basic lines. 1t tells him how, why and
when. It teaches economy through
improved methods and better live
stock. 1t helps the farmer to solve all
the problems which beSet him in his
work. Its regular perusal will enable
him to convert losses into profits.
With its ~profusion of beautiful pic
lures OF live stock and farm scenes,
and its columns of practical informa-
tion, it stipulates larger interests in

sizing the wholesomeness and indie
pendence Of rural life. The Christ
mas number Of the Gazette, just from
the press, contains "a pages, and is re-
plete with illustrations, many OF them
suitable for framing, and artistically
illustrated articles, which are thrilling,
instructive and %enliyening, written by
writers Of national repute. This great
holiday issue, with a striking cover de-
sign printed In colors, is a mechanical,
literary and pictorial triumph un.

And 10! the very cold grows dear,
