MiIIepedes.


 The little creature which possesses the distinction of having more legs than any other animal is that which belongs to the family of insects known as millepedes or thousand footed. There are several different species of these. but they all possess the common char acteristic of having segmented bodies, each segment of which is provided with its own pair of feet. These are set so closely along the body as to re- semble hairs, and when they move one after another with perfect regularity the effect is precisely the same on a small scale as that of field of oats undulating under the influence of tbe wind. Some species, of millepedes havs es many as $50 separate and distinct legs. They are all perfectly harmless.
