the Southern Pacific from the necessity

SEPARATION Is PERMANENT
LITTLE KNOWN CONCERNING
THE AFFAIR.

London Oct. 27.-The afternoon pa
pers here quote the Manchester Guard
ian. as saying that deed of separation
between the Duke and Duchess of
Marlborough has been signed, ON the
ground of fncompatibfity of temper. by
the provisions of which the duchess
keeps Sunderland house, London, and
her own dowry, but is precluded from
going to Blenheim. The document, il is
added, was signed Oct. %. The duke is
now at Blenheim and the duchess is
staying at Sunderland house.
Story Probably True.
Although the principals concerned
maintain absolute silence and decline to
furnish any information. all indications
tend to corroborate the stories that a
climax has been reached in the do
nestle affairs of the ducal house of
Marlborough. Both the London and
provincial papers give circumstantial
details. saying that the deed of separa-
ton between the duke and duchess has
been signed.
The duke is at present rusticating in
company with Winston Spencer
Churchill and other relatives.
The mystery with which the princi-
pals are thus shrouding the affair has
been further deepened by a statement
of the dukes regular lawyers, who say
they are entirely ignorant of the exist
ence of a deed of separation, and that
if a separation has been accomplished
it must have been carried through by
other attorneys.

CURIOUS INSECT.

A Butterfly That Enjoys Only Five
Hours OF Life.
Ii is in August that the naturalists
observe the marvellous insect which is
born, reproduces and dies in the period
of a single night on the banks of the
Marine, OF the Seine and of the Rhine.
1t is the ephemere of which Sirammer-
dam has written and which is spoken
of in Aristotle.
The life Of this insect does not last
beyond four or five hours. 1t dies to-
ward IL o'clock in the evening after
taking the form Of a butterfly about six
hours after midday. 1t is true, how
ever, that before taking this form Il
has lived three years in that OF a
worm. which keeps always near the
border of water in the holes which IL
makes in the mud.
The change Of this worm in the wa
ter to an ephemere which flies is so
sudden that one has not the time to see
II. III one takes the worm In the water
the hand cannot be taken away before
the change is made unless by pressing
the worm slightly in the region Of the
chest. BY this means it can be taken
from the water before the change
takes place.
The ephemere, after leaving the wa
ter. seeks a place where il can divest
itself of 4 fine membrane or veil, which
entirely covers il. This second change
takes place in the air.
The ephemere assists itself with the
point OF its little nails as firmly as II
can. 1t makes n movement similar to
that Of SILVER; then the skin on the
middle of the back breaks apart. the
wings slip out Of their sheath. as we
sometimes take of our gloves by turn
ing them Inside out. After this strip
ping the ephemere begins to Fly. Some
times it holds itself straight up on the
surface Of the water on the end of its
tail. Tapping its wings one against the
! other. 1t takes no nourishment In the
FIVE or six hours which are the limit Of
its life. 1t seems to have been formed
but TO multiply. for 1t does not leave
Its state OF n worm until IL is ready to
deposit its eggs. and Il dies rs soon as
they are deposited
In three days time one sees appear
and die all species OF ephemere- They
last sometimes until the fifth day, for
I the reason that some malady has ar
fected some OF them and prevents them
from changing at the same time as the
