had in four covered glass tumblers
about $50 larvae Of Lampyris norti-
cula, and when thunderstorm came
one evening-when the ages OF the
tiny creatures ranged from two days
to six weeks-he noted the effects.
For an hour. while there was much
thunder and lightning, the tumblers
constantly showed points OF green
light. from three or four to ten or
twelve flashes being visible at time,
though each lasted only second or

later the larvae behaved similarly.

of which was SO illegible that he was
unable to say what it was about or
who had written it. 1t was then dis.

the position that Governor Cruce is
right in condemning the keeping Of
men so long on the payroll after

Speaker J. H. MaXey ct al Gov
ernor Cruce calls attention to the
fact that notwithstanding the leg
islature adjourned more than three
months ago, Speaker MaXey, Judge
Kendrick and force of clerks and
stenographers of both the house ana

Mr.. MaXey has replied through

claim that too much of the state
money is finding its way into the
pocket of the Muskogec statesman
and others who were given charge
of winding up the work of the late
legislature, but he fails to convince

know the most about Legislative al
fairs, and the governor, whether he
was playing politics" or not, seems
to have uncarthed live wire. These
men accused of extravaganza are

for their delay in finishing up the
work Of editing the house and SEN
ate journals. Mr. MaXey correctly
states that the work this year was
more than double that Of former
years. but even with that the work
should have been completed in sixty
days. We do not know just what
