Importing Flies.

We know how the gypsy moth was
brought into this country, and every
body will hope that if any winged crea-
lures are to be imported here they may
be dead specimens of their kind. A
paragraph in a recent English paper
makes mention of cargo of flies land
ed there toward the close of March. 1t
consisted of several sacks filed with
dried flies, consigned to large firm
of grain merchants.
These flies, exported from Brazil
have been purchased for use in the
manufacture Of food for chickens, cage
birds and the like.
They were caught on the river ANA
zon by BraZilians, who travel up the
river in f1at-bottomed boats, and who
are provided with gauze nets with
which they capture these insects II
millions, as flies hover In dense clouds
over many of the swamp reaches of tn.
Amazon. The flies THUS caught are kill
ed and dried in the sun.

A Camera Fiend.

A we'll known criminal lawyer one
day sauntered into police court just
as case was called. 1t appeared that
the defendant had no attorney and the
Judge glanced about the room to see
whom he might assign to the case.
"I'll take it, judge" the late conner
said wishing to pass away the time.
"By the way, what is the man
charged with?" the attorney presently
asked.
"He's a camera fiend Of the worst
sort, Mr. Brown" the judge said will
a slight smile. 81 expect to send him
to the workhouse for about three
months"
"Whatw the lawyer shouted indig
nantly. "Your Honor must be joking

months for little harmless amusement

"Well," the judge said mildly, 'h'

In the course of many years of in

constantly been impressed with the
similarity between the organization
and development Of plant and human

wisely directed, a great and powerful
instrument for the transformation of
the vegetable kingdom along lines that
lead constantly upward. The crossing
Of species is to me paramount. Upon
It, wisely directed and accompanied by
rigid selection of the best and as
rigid an exclusion OF the poorest, rests
the hope Of all progress. The mere
crossing of species, unaccompanled by
selection. wise supervision, Intelligent
care and the utmost patience, Is not
likely to result in marked good, and
may result in vast harm. Unorganized

LAUNCHING BY ELECTRICITY.
Ingenious New Mechanism Used at
British ShiDyard.

Ingenious New Mechanism Used at
a British Shipyard.
The launching of the new British
battle ship Agamemnon, which took
place on June % at Delmuir. Scotland.
was marked by the use of ingenious
new mechanism, says the Literary d.
gest. In particular. We are informed
by writer in Engineering. that the
old type of dogshores was replaced by
an electrical arrangement connected to
a series of interlocking levers, which
release the triggers that hold the ves-
sci until the signal is given that all Is
ready for launching. Says the writer:
1.-Two separate triggers were placed
on each side, each fitted with magnetic
reply gear to indicate on the launching
platform that the mechanism had
worked satisfactorily. The whole gear
was controlled by means Of a NINA
ture steering wheel and standard plac-
ed on the launching platform. and SO
adjusted that when the Countess of
Aberdeen. who performed the cere-
mony, gave the wheel one complete
revolution, the triggers were released
and the vessel was free to run down
the ways. A powerful hydraulic ram
was placed at the forward end of the
sliding ways on each side of the vessel,
the cylinders being coupled to the same
supply pipe to insure equality Of pres
sure. These rams were for the pur-
pose Of giving the vessel start If she
had not moved directly the triggers
were released; but in this instance they
were unnecessary. The drags for
checking the way on the ship after
she had successfully taken the water
were formed Of chain cables, three
piles being arranged on each side to
come into play at suitable intervals.
The total weight of drags employed
was about 600 tons, and their action
in bringing the ship to rest was in
every way satisfactory. The total time
taken from the STRAIT until the vessel
! was actually clear of the ways was
81"
The writer says further:
THE particular berth upon which
the Agamemnon was built was spe-
cially prepared for the laying down
of a vessel of the largest and heaviest
type, great care having been taken in
the piling in the area. Nearly 1000
pitch-pine logs, each 40 feet long and
II Inches square, were driven vertic-
ally into the ground, with cross ties on
their tops the total quantity Of timber
used in the preparation of the berth
amounting to about $4,000 cubic feet. "

Cottage Mrs. Dane was still seated I'M
der the pear tree. Seeing Lord Avon,
she waved her hand to him, and he open
ed the gate and entered.
"What a stranger you are" were hes
first words.
He kept her hand in his as he sat down
on the bench beside her. She had light,
Heecy kerchief thrown over her white net
cap, and a warm shawl wrapped about
her shoulders. Her face, always a deli
cate one, looked ominously so now; 1t
was so changed as to give Lord Avon an
unpleasant thrill.
"Dear Mrs. Dane, am sure you have
been very ILL.,"
II have been, and am" she answered.
''You see the difference in me, don't you p

long as she could an then she seen
Sadie wus plum dead on her feet an
she lowed she'd set with the gal till

How'd they come to an understand

Hancock stopped with his knife half
way through shaving Of the single

contempt. "Well,' he went on, 1.-The
