The Elusive EIy.

Any one who has tried with out
stretched hand to catch a fly cannot
fall to have noticed its wonderful
alertness In escaping. "One reason
for this" explains a naturalist. is the
fact that the fly was watching the
movements Of its would be captor out
of all or most Of its 5000 eyes. An
other reason for its rapid retreat Is
that, instead of seeing one hand COM
ing toward it, the fly would have seen
at least 1900 hands all looking alike
and all moving down upon 1t In the
same direction. A third reason Of the
hy's nimbleness is its ability to vi
brate its wings nearly 700 times In a
second and to travel through the air
at a rate of a mile in two and a half
minutes or twenty-four miles an hour"
