The Fly.

From Lecture of Mr.. II. Hill in London.
The fy's capacity for crime is extended
by its strength, which Is relatively nearly
seven times that of a horse, for it can lift
twenty times it's own weight. 1t can alb
sorb enormous quantities of oxygen, and is
in fact a confirmed OK cen topper. The
reprehensible habit of walking upside down
on the ceiling, to which the ny is addicted,
Is due to its habit of exuding gum from
each of the 1000 hollow hairs in its feet.
The f,y too has an evil eye, which is
divisible into several other eyes. II has also
700 or 1900 parts all connected with the
olfactory nerves. and therefore possesses
complete equipment for detecting unsound
meat, such as is given to no other living
creature.

To RAILS
Rock Island Passenger Train
Stalled Two Hours at
Ceneseo.
WATER TANK OUT OF ORDER
Two Inches of Ice Form Around the
Wheels of the Loco
motive.

An accident probably without prece-
dent in raiiroading occurred early
yesterday morning at Geneseo, where
Rock Island passenger train east
bound, leaving here at midnight, was
frozen to the track, where it remained
two hours before released.
At Geneseo there is a water tank,
and the train stopped there to replen-
ISL its supply. When the boiler had
received its fill the operator attempt
ed to shut of the flow from the tank,
but he found to his amazement that he
was unable TO do so. No more could
be taken on by the boiler, so that it
was necessary to allow the water TO
pour on the ground.
These tanks put forth a stream of
considerable size. as the watering OF
the train must be made a rapid oper-
alton in order that no time be sacri-
feed. and it was only a few moments
until there was pond surrounding
the locomotive and the baggage car.
Wheels In Two Inches of lee.
The temperature was below zero
and no sooner did the water touch the
ground than it turned to ice. The
engineer tried to move his train, but
he discovered that the wheels refused
to turn. An investigation showed
that the wheels were buried in two
inches of ice. The tank was allowed
to run itself dry. and after laborins
two hours, the crew managed To get
the engine loose and proceed on the
journey toward Chicago.
