THOUSANDS OF DRAGON FLIES
Queer Sight Witnessed by a French
Naturalist While Making a Tour
Through Morbihan.

A professor of zoology at Lille, M.
Charles Barrios, was making a tour
through Morbihan, in France. AS he
was walking along the road he noticed
that multitude Of dragon flies were
alighting on the telegraph wires. The
singular thing about it was that they
all rested at an equal distance from
each other, and all occupied the same
position, with head turned toward the
west.
From all sides the dragon flies ar.
rived and always placed themselves
In the same position, and at the same
distance from each other. They re-
less and paralyzed. Each new arrival
few over the fixed bodies of the
others and took its place in the line.
This chain stretched itself out to-
ward the west, and turned toward the
setting sun. Professor Barrios fol-
and found the same strange phe-
nomenon. He estimated the number
at 10000, at least At an abrupt turn
Of the road to the south, the telegraph
line turned also. There not a dragon
fly was in sight! The wire was abso-
lutely free from them! With the
change Of direction 1t seemed to have
lost attraction for them.
Was this chance? Did the electric
currents running from the east to the
west exercise any influence upon
these insects? Was 1t the solar re-
fection? Explain 1t, who can. In
any case 1t would be interesting to
know whether this phenomenon be an
isolated one or not.

The emperor. q tan. typical Prus-
sian. came first, leading the Princess
OF Wales, then came the Prince Of
Wales. escorting the Princess Isold;
the young emperor was not married.
The hidden orchestra played the old
melody, die Wacht am Rhein." When
his majesty finished the regular circle
the chancellor introduced the cheva-
lier. The courtiers fell back at a mo-
tion from the emperor and he and the
chevalier spent some time In what
was apparently an intimate converse
ton. When the dance began he was
dismissed and the emperor waltzed
around the great hall once with his
cousin. the Princess of Wales.
Chevalier di Leon stood alone for q
short time, watching the dancers with
interest; then the Baron Won Koener
came and whispered in his ear that
the Countess Rosiny desired to dance
with him. Di Leon smiled pleasantly
and followed the baron, who led him
to young woman Of great beauty.
Her large, dark eyes rested on the
bowling chevalier; her rosy cheeks
dimpled in smile as she stood up to
take his arm. They waltzed away from
the baron. who looked after them with
admiration.
The chevalier proved to be a master
Of waltzing; disregarding- the usual
habit, he did not stop after the first
tour Of the room, but continued. The
countess smiled at him coquettishly.
"Chevalier, you dance wonderfully"
"Ah, you, countess. are the dream
of a dancer"
They arrived at the countess chair,
but the chevalier showed no signs OF
stopping and carried her along as cas-.
lily and gracefully as the morning
