Lost Apple of Paradise.

The Banana apple, grown at Hood
River, Ore., is selling at Sl2 a box.
Mr.. Albert Anson Graham, who spent
sevel al months in that delightful and
splendid region, says 1t is the best
apple in the world. 1t is thought to
be the lost apple of Paradise-the ap-
pie that tempted Eve and which has
been so generally advertised in all
languages ever since. As the proof Of
the pudding Is In the eating, when
some of his Hood River friends send
him box of these apples Mr.. Graham
is going to distribute them amo Z his
Ocala friends and he says that they
will find them so good that they will
grant good Grandmother Eve full
and unccn5itiC nal pardon Tor being
begniled into eating one OF them and
then tempting Adam to do the same
thing. .-Ocala Daily Banner.

DIAGRAM OF KITE.

notches at the ends of the sticks, and
put string around the whole frame,
making it taut and tying 1t so that
1t will not slip.
Now cut out a piece of very thin
manila paper-tissue paper would do,
but thin manila Is more serviceable-
one inch larger all around than the
frame, and paste the edge over the
string. Make small hole In the end
Of the sticks at A, B, G, d, q and r
and put in a string loosely from A to
F, from B to q and from @ to D.
Make string loop from q to f. to
which the tail Of the kite Is to be at.
tached. The strings must come
through to the paper side Of the kite,
not the stick side.
The cord by which you are to fly
the kite should be attached where the
strings cross each other; do this with
a loose knot inclosing all the strings.
For the tail, use a strip Of muslin
about one inch in width and fifteen
feet in length and attach ten bobs
made of paper rolled up. If the kite
should dive, add more tail until Il
sails steadily.
Use fine, but strong, cord for the
flying, and don't attempt 1t in a high
wind. Kites always fly better in a
moderate wind.

FLY ON THE CEILING.
Explanation Of This Insects Ability to
Walk Upside Down.

Walk Upside Down.
The ability Of the fly to walk along
the ceiling or up and down pane Of
glass is a matter that is constantly
puzzling boys and girls, and older
people, too, and simple explanation
Of 1t here might be of interest.
As Insignificant creature as the
fly is, this power has made 1t the sub
ject Of scientific study for years. The
scientists at first thought its feet were
furnished with suction pumps, so to
speak, little valves that clung to the
ceiling on the same principle as that
Of the wet leather disk that boys lift
bricks with. When they found that
this was an error they thought that
the fy's feet were supplied with a
kind Of sticky oil that enabled 1t to
hold on.
But a careful experimenter discover
ed that while the feet exude fluid II
Is not sticky, and so that theory had
to be given up. Finally this same ex-
perimenter hit on the truth. He found
that the feet of the fly are covered
with minute hairs-each fly has about
1900 Of them-and that the fluid that
comes from them enables the fly to
walk, head down, on even the smooth
est surface, by capillary attraction
that is to say, the fluid on the fy's feet
forms sort Of connection between the
feet and the surface the fly walks on,
and the attraction thereby established
is strong enough to sustain several
times the weight Of the fly.
1t is impossible for the fly to gel
along we'll unless Its feet are perfectly
clean, and when you see 1t apparently
making its toilet by rubbing Its feet
together and all over Its wings and
back 1t Is simply putting Its feet In
order.
