regaining the throne. He landed at
Gumesh Tcpeh, on the shore of the

BIRTH OF A WING.
Evolution Of tho Aquatic Pupa Into the
Dragon Fly.

Dragon Fly.
Says a writer in the Scientific Amer
lean: "A wonderful spectacle is pre-
scented by the sudden apparition of
an insects wing at the completion OF
its metamorphosis. The transforma-
ton Of the grub into the butterfly.
though familiar, is zone the less amaz-
ing, but the evolution Of the active and
gossamer winged dragon fly from it's
ugly and sluggish aquatic pupa is still
more impressive. Early on a May morn
ing the pupa energies from its cocoon
at the bottom Of a ditch, swims on its
back by padding with Its long haired
paws to the stem Of an aquatic plant
and climbs up out of the water. Then,
after a momentary pause, the skin
| suddenly bursts open and the perfect
insect appears, with closely folded
wings, which soon unfold and assume
their final form.
1.-THE older naturalists thought that
the insect swallowed air. with which
the wings We're inflated. In reality
the air is absorbed in the digestive
organs, causing an increased blood
pressure, which mechanically expands
the wings. The presence Of dew Is
also necessary; hence the first flight Is
always made at dawn.
This spectacle Of the birth of q
wing may be observed in dragon flies
reared in an aquarium. the atmos
phere Of which should be moistene(
with an atomiZer when the pupa rise!
to the surface"

SLAsHING WOOL DUTIES.

Were II not for the belief that the
republican senate will refuse to pass
the wool bill which the democratic OF
che house have agreed upon, the WOOL
growers of Montana, instead OF re-.
ceiving % they are today II and IL
cents . pound for their product. would
be lucky II they received 10 cents, ssys
the Helena Record. The bill which
the democra ats have endorsed reduces
the duty on raw wool more than fifty
per cent from the tariff which was put
into effect under the Mckinley bill and
which holds under the Payne law.
Were 1t not, taking the word of the
democra attic leaders for It, that the gov
ernment must have the revenues, there
would be no duty, had the democrats
full control, or raw wool.
Bryan talks about %'cringing to a
few sheepmen," in his advocacy OF
elimin ating the wool duty. Those OF
his party who are not willing to 60 to
the lengths he wants, promise that
later they will sweep away entirely the
tariff on wool. This means, OF course,
il they are given the power to do it.
1t is because the purchasers of Mon
tana wool are convinced that the dem
ocratic program on wool will not be
enacted into law that they have in re-
cent weeks, come into this market and
paid what they have for the staple.
II at the next general election the
democrats are given control OF the
house and senate and q democrat is
elected president, it may be taken ss q
foregone conclusion that the first &C,
of the democrats, il dealing with the
tariff, will be to remove the duty on
q wool. There 10 one democrat in

to any change in the wool schedule
