SPEED OF INSECTS.
A Common House Fly Travels a MIL
In Thirty-three Seconds.

A Common House Fly Travels a Mile
In Thirty-three Seconds.
1t is the popular belief that the fight
of the birds Is much swifter than that
of the insects, but number Of natural
lists who have been making a study Of
the matter think that such Is not the
case.
A common house fly, for example, is
not very rapid in it's flight, but its
wings make 800 beats a second and
send it through the air twenty-five feet,
under ordinary circumstances, in that
space of time. When the insect is
alarmed, however, it has been found
that 1t can increase its rate of speed by
over 16O feet per second. If it could
continue such rapid fight for mile in
a straight line, it would cover that dis
tance in exactly thirty-three seconds.
1t is not an uncommon thing when
travelling by rail in the summer time to
see a bee or wasp keeping up with the
train and trying to get in at one Of the
windows. A swallow is considered one
of the swiftest of flying birds, and it
was formerly thought that no insect
could escape it.
A naturalist, however, told of an ex-
citing chase he saw between swallow
and a dragon fly, which is among the
swiftest of insects. The insect few
with incredible speed and wheeled and
lodged with such ease that the swal-
low despite its utmost efforts, COM
pletely failed to oYertake 1t.

Japs suppIant Russians.

Washington, May 31.-The rapidity
with which the Japanese have sup
planted, not only Russian soldiers, but
merchants of that nationality in Man
churia, as result of the late war, is
clearly exhibited by the report of the
collector of customs at New Chwang,
the principal port of the province. He
states that in 1896 the total number
of foreigners residing there was 222, of
whom II were Japanese with no Rus
slams; in 1900 the number of foreign
ers was 1854, of whom IS were Jap
anese and 1,760 Russians; while in
1905, after the war, the number of
foreigners was 1899, of whom 7,4O8
were Japanese and only one Russian.

NATURES CRUELTY.
The IchneumOn Fly Makes It's Nat~

The IchneumOn Fly Makes It's NatA
uraI Enemy Serve Its Purpose.
The ichneumon fly of Ceylon Is the
natural enemy of the spider. This in
sect is green in color, and in form re-
sembles q wasp with a marvelously
thin waist. 1t makes it's nest of well
worked clay and then goes on a hunt
Ing expedition. It's victims are in
variably spiders Of various kinds, but
all are subject to the same mode of
treatment A scientific sting injects
some poison which effectually paralyzes
the luckiess spider, which Is then carried
off to the nest and there fastened with
a dab Of moist clay. Another and an.
other victim is brought to this chamber
Of horrors. Then the prescient mother
ichneumon fly proceeds to deposit her
eggs, one In the body of each spider,
which can just move It's legs in a vague,
aimless manner, but can offer no re.
sistance.
This done, the fly returns to her work
as a mason. She prepares more clay
and builds up the entrance to this
CHASTITY cell. Then she commences a
new cell, which she furnishes in like
manner and then closes; then she adds
yet another cell and so proceeds until
her store Of eggs are all provided for,
and, her task in life being accomplished,
she dies, leaving her evil brood to hatch
at leisure In due time these, ,horrid lit
tie maggots come to- life and find them
selves Graded in larder Of fresh meat.
Each poor spider Is still alive, and his
Juices afford nutriment for the ichneu-
mon grub till it is ready to pass in the
chrysalis stage, thence to emerge as a
winged fly fully prepared to carry out
the traditions of It's ancestors with re-
gard to spiders.

HOTEL FIRE CAUSED PANIC.
None of the Guests, However, Were
Injured


Injured.
Chicago, May 31-F'ire starting in
a clothes closet on the second floor
Of the Windsor-Clifton hotel shortly
before o'clock Thursday morning,
spread between the walls to the fourth
floor.
The fire was discovered when smoke
penetrated the room of a guest on the
third floor, who notified the night
clerk. The bell boys were ordered to
arouse all the guests and assist them
to safety.
Edward Rice, a ST. Louis man, one
OF the first guests awakened, ran to
the elevators and assisted the night
.Watchman in awakening guests and as
sisting women from their rooms.
A general panic among the guests
followed the discovery of the fire, and
many fed half clad into the office
of the hotel.
Policemen were sent to guard the
property in he hotel The firemen
prevented the spread of the flames be-
yond the fourth floor.
Following the arrival of the fire
men of the first call, a second call
was sent for apparatus to prevent the
spread of the flames, which seemed to
be confined to the center of the east
side of the building.
None of the guests were injured in
the panic. The clerk of the hotel
was unable to account fore the fire
starting in the closet, but suggested
spontaneous combustion as a cause.
The damage to the hotel is estimat-
ed at $4,000.

All Madrid In Gay Attire-Announce
ment of Wedding by Firing of Artil-
Iery saIutes Was Wildly Acclaimed
by the People.
Madrid, May 31-The city awoke
Thursday under a cloudless sky with
dazzling sunshine adding its glories
to the bewildering maze of color, in
which the streets were envelOped. At
an early hour the city presented an
aspect of extreme animation. The night
was passed amid the din of fireworks
singing and dancing, and thousands
of provincials, unable to secure shell
ter, spent the night in cafes and in the
streets. At 8 o'clock the troops took
up their positions, stopping all traffic
and the city too, On al air of fever
ish expectance.
The bridal cortege approached the
the church at 10:45 a. m. The interior
was brilliantly lighted and filed with
flowers, gold laced uniforms and at
tractive toilettas, presented a magnfi
cent appearance. The bridal party
entered the church II a. M. and the
marriage ceremony uniing King Al
fonso and Princess Victoria of Datten
berg, proceeded.
After the ceremony King Alfonso
and his bride left the church at 1890
p. N. The announcement of the wed
ding by the firing of artillery salutes
was wildly acclaimed by the people,
The church of San Jeronimo ed
Real, where the nuptial mass was eel
ebrated and the marriage benediction
was pronounced. is a quaint old struc
ture which hes passed through some
strange vicissitudes. This is not the
first royal marriage celebrated there
for the wedding of Isabella II took
place in great pomp within its walls.
The presents for King Alfonso and
his bride are from all quarters of the
globe, and even from the school chill
dren of Spain, who contributed their
mite to show their loyalty to the king
The route of the wedding cortege
was designed to give Princess Ena a
glimpse of all that is best of Madrid
and at the same time to give the peo
pie an opportunity to see their queen
The royal palace of Madrid will be
the future home of the royal couple
The palace is one of the largest and
most supmtuOus of Europe. 1t is
built on the former site of the Alea
zar of the ancient kings, from plans
by the Italian artist Giovanni Bettirta
Sacchetti The first stone was lai6
in 1888, and 26 years afterwards King
Charles III took possession and began
the decoration of the interior.
The fetes for the kings wedding
were prepared on an unusual scale OF
lavishness. They were divided into
three parts, the first including the fam
lily fetes, the second, fetes offered to
the visiting princes, ENJOYS and high
functionaries, and third, the popular
fetes organized for the people.
By far the most interesting fetes
are those in which the people parttci
pate, including night illuminations OF
the Prado and other public quarters
a Venetian feast at the Westparo
three bull fights, luminous cortege
a battle of flowers, and procession
of all the Spanish provinces, in typi
cal groups and figures, in order tha
the new Queen may see the Spanish
people from all parts of the country.
