Walking on the Ceiling.

Few people probably know what II
Is that enables flies to walk on the cell
ing. 1t has been supposed that their
ability to do so was due to the fact
that each Of their feet is miniature
air pump. This theory was found to
be unsohnd, and it was then explained
that the feat was made possible by
means of n viscous substance which
sAuded 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 upside
down on smooth substances by the help
of capillary adhesion. An investigator
has found by series of nice calcula
lions, such as the weighing and meas
uring of hairs, that a fly would be
lpheld by capillary attraction were 1t
four-ninths as heavy again as 1t is.
Each fly is supposed to be furnished
with from 10000 to 1900 minute foot
hairs. These eXude an oily fluid, and it
is because of the repulsion between
watery surface and this oily liquid that
n fly finds 1t difficult to mount a damp
ened glass.-Harpers Weekly.

Seals, according to the crew Of the
antarctic exploring ship Discovery, are
abundant near the south pole. They
are very tame and can be dubbed by
any one without showing more fight
than opening their jaws and making n
harsh noise. They are possessed Of
extraordinary vitality and are not easy
to kill. Antarctic seals are not pro-
vided with marketable fur. The skins
Of the majority of seals In the nntarc-
tic regions show an extraordinary
number .of cicatrlces, some old and
some recent, which for some time have
been II puzzle to zoologists. 1t is a
question whether they are the result
of warfare among the bull seals or. are
caused by attacks of some monster not
yet known to science. Some light has

SnOiled IL All.

A farmer went to hear John Wesley
preach. Wesley said he would take up
three topics of thought. He was talk
ing chiefly about money. His first was,
"Get all you can" The farmer nudged
q neighbor and said: This is strange
preaching. l never heard the like be-
fore. This is very good" Then Wes-
ley discoursed on Industry" "Actlvi-
ty," Living to Purpose" and reached
his second division, Save all you can"
The farmer became more eXcitedf
"Was there ever anything like this?"
he said Wesley denounced thriftless-
ness and waste, and he satlrized the
willful wickedness which lavishes in
luxury, and the farmer rubbed his
hands, 4 nd he thought, "All this l
have AJettn taught from my youth up"
and what with getting and what with
boarding 1t seemed to him that "sal-
vation" had come to his house. But
Wesley advanced to his third head,
which was "Give all you can" "Ah,
dear; ah, dear" said the farmer; "he
has gone and spoiled it air.

when nm Iceberr Turns Turtle.

when nm Iceberg Turns Turtle.
Think of sections bigger than Rhode
Island being torn from a glacier and
swept Off into che ocean, TO be ferried
1900 miles on the bosom Of the Lab
rador current until the heated waters
of the gulf stream cause them TO van
ish from human ken. Then can one
form some idea of the immensely Of
the Ice area discharged from the Green
land seas each year. Thousands Of
miles Of valley are constantly emptying
their contents into the bays and fiords
Of the north waters, whence the tides
hurry the detachments southward to
cumber the wide Atlantic.
The disposition of icebergs to turn
turtle is one of their most dangerous
propenslties. 1t arises from several
causes. When they start out from
Greenland their bottoms are heavy
with the detritus gathered in their
glacial period, and this drops of at in
tervals as they move south, causing
their center of gravity to change and
~,Ne r,rg TO assume new positions. The
scientific theory Of the formation of
the vast submarine plateaus which ex-
tend from Labrador to Fundy, and are
commonly known rs the Grand banks
of Newfoundland, is that they are the
products of bergs du7ing countless
ages.-Leslie's Magazine.

Heliotropism is the peculiar property
shown by many plants, notably the
sunfower, of always turning toward
the sun. In the case of seedlings the
phenomenon is especially marked. The
cells on the light side are apparently
retarded in growth, thus causing a
curvature toward that side, Professor
Romanes experimental with an inter
mittent light, such as that Of an elec-
tric spark -IScharge, upon mustard
seedlings and found the heliotropic
effect produced in this way far greater
than that caused by the sun or any
other form of light. Strange to say,
however. this abnormal influence Is an

English characteristics.

The Engllshman is less social than
men of any other nationality; mean
he is less conscious of the ties which
bind humanity together, his moral for,
nation owes little to his relations with
other men, he scarcely troubles hH
self about what they think, and If
ever considers the matter at all !
makes no difference in his sentiments
and actions. In short, the Englishman
is to certain extent recluse; he is
more aloof from the world in which he
lives and the neighbors whom he ell
bows than the men of any other
nationality. = Boutmy's "The English
