Tho Peculiar Sand Fly.

The sand fly is perfectly harmless
Il does not bite. II has no sting. II
cannot even eat. All it can do is to
Git about for few hours. enjoy the
light Of day or the glare of an electric
lamp. The sand fly is known to scien-
lists familiarity as the May fly. In sci
entlfic terms 1t is called ephemerida.
This name IL taken from the Greek
word ephemeros. which means lasting
only for a day. To the scientists the
sand fly is one of the most interesting
and beautiful of insects. The fly lives
but a day at most, but before it sees
the light it has lived from one to three
years under the water in the form OF
what the scientists call nymph. The
nymph can both walk and swim. AS
it grows it molts. and after about the
ninth mott tiny wings appear on Its
thorax. These grow larger until the
insect comes forth from the water u
sand Ay 1t then has but one duty-to
lay its eggs. This done, the sand fly
zigzags through the air until its brief
life is ended.

The Missionary a Puzzle.

To the untutored Cinnamon the
presence of the missionary Is puzzle.
They simply cannot imagine human
beings exiting themselves from their
native land for the love of men on the
other side of the globe So they frame
sundry theories to explain the thing
to themselves One theory is that the
missionaries are secret political agents
bent on gaining an influence over the
Chinese and then swaying them to the
advantage of their respective govern
ments. Only of late have the natives
come to realize that the strangers are
not sent by their governments. but by
religious groups According to another
theory. China is so excellent and re-
nowned that the red haired barbarians
come to live there for the mere pleas
ure of it. AS for their self denying
works of benevolence, these are sup
posed to be prompted by the desire to
acquire merit.-Century.
