Insects In Flight.

Notion pictures Of insects in fight
prove that the movement Of the wings
Of all insects presents the same gen
eral character. When fight is begun
the amplitude of the first wing beats
IS much smaller than Of the subsequent
ones, but the period remains almost
unchanged. The insect regulates the
velocity of its fight, not by the rapid
ty Of the motion Of its wings. but by
changing their inclination. Although
in normal conditions the period Of the
wing beat remains constant, it may be
increased or diminished by various In
Huences, such as fatigue and cold.

Romance OF a Statue.

The statue Of Charles I. which now
stands In London was sold to q braZier
during the commonwealth with the un-
derstan6ing that It should be broken
I'D. The buyer, however, saw q chance
to make money and buried It instead
To cover his action he made a large
number Of bronze knives and forks,
which were eagerly bought By both
royalists and Puritans as souvenirs.
When the monarchy was restored to
power the statue was dug up again
and bought by the government to be
placed in its present position, where 1t
has remained since 1873.

What Wealth Brings.

The late Colonel Ingersoll was talk
Ing one day with q group Of friends
when the subject Of wealth and the de-
sire of most men to accumulate money
was discussed.
81 never could understand It" said
the colonel. Just imagine 4 man with
100000 mats. 100000 pairs Of shoes,
100000 pairs of gloves. G,O00.OOO hand

and a train load Of reckties getting Up
before daylight and exerting every en-
ercy until late at night in order that ne
may make enough money to buy hlm'

Wreck OF the White Ship.

The most famous of all royal ship
wrecks is probably that Of the White
Ship, which gave Rossetti the subject
of one Of his finest ballads. Henry /.
had crossed to France to secure the al
lesiance Of the Norman barons and was
returning in triumph. Prince William,
the kings favorite son, did not sal!
aboard his fathers vessel. but followed
in the White Ship, commanded by Fitz-
Stephen, the royal hereditary pilot.
Somewhere IN midchannel the White
Ship separated from the fleet and went
down with all on board. and Henry
never smiled again"
That historically stifed smile also
gave rise to the ribald verse-it came,
one thinks, from some Twainish Amer
ican:
Many wicked smile he snole.
And many a wink he wunk,
But never, never sraoie again

Rock Salt Discovered by Accident.

The great rock salt deposits OF LOUIS
lana were discovered by accident in
May. 1852. Salt was very scarce at
that time, and the proprietor OF the
Islands salt works. John Marsh Avery.
determined to profit by It. With this
end in view he commenced to deepen
his wells. One negro workman. after
going down sixteen feet, came to S1r-
Avery with the news that he had
struck q sunken log, and could pro-
ceed no further. Mr.. Avery invest1Sat-
cd and found. not q log, but the great
rock salt deposit that has made Louis
lana famous throughout the country.
The discovery did not come altogether
as a surprise, as Thomassy had pre-
dicted that q great rock salt deposit
would one day be discovered IN each OF
the FIVE Gulf islands, and perhaps IN
other portions of the state. Since the
close Of the war, rock salt has been
IA important contributing factor in the
mineral wealth Of the state.-Nattonal
