word of Mr. Bryans statement is worthy Of the

The milestone must be cast off

THE OBSERVER COMES AGAIN

The Fireiniau had desired to let the Charlotte
Observer down With as much case as possible on
the question Of mountain prohibition" but its
comeback forces a brief statement Of facts which

Now, if the mark was escaped Of if there was
any other mark than the Observer, it escapes
our ken. We were at some pains to dig that
paragraph out Of our flies. that might be sure
lust what it contained that was aimed at the
Observers mountain prohibition propaganda
and find this:
The Charlotte Observer, haNinG scoNered

Carolina mountains, will do well to inform the
pttblic whether IL made this discovery in broad

Now we don't know whether II is our i'll man

Catching Them For Decorative Pur-

In Japan there is followed the pretty
custom of employing in garden parties
and in various other social functions
the native 6refies for purposes of dec
orative Illumination. IN some cases
these tiny creatures are disposed about
in cages; sometimes they are released
in swarms in the presence Of guests.
To meet the demand for 6refies thus
used it follows that there must be some
systematic method Of efecting their
capture in sufficient quantities. There
are a number Of concerns in the. Japa-

STICKY FEET or THE FLY.
Why the Germ Laden Pest Constantly
Rubs and Brushes Them.


Rubs and Brushes Them.
Before the men of science terrified
the world with their talk Of germs
most people thought that the housedy
was a harmless creature and very
cleanly in his habits, since he seemed
to spend a great part of his time in
cleaning his legs, but since public opfn
ion has turned against him some ex
PLANTATION has to be found for his ap-
parent cleanliness. Says the Bibiothek
de- Unterhaltung und des Wissens:
1.-The fact that a dy can walk on a
glazed or slippery perpendicular sur
face has long been matter of obser
vation. 1t was at first thought that
the fine hairs that cover bis legs were
so small that they could enter the
pores Of the smoothest surface and in
that way bear the weight Of his body.
Later it was thought that sticky
fluid was secreted by the feet. which
caused them to adhere slightly to the
wall The advent of the microscope
has made it possible to observe the
precise facts about the 6y's unusual
powers.
at Is true that the hy's feet secrete
a kind Of grease. but not n a liquid
form. Each leg has from 1900 to 2.0OO
minute hairs. and each hair carries a
certain amount of this fat When the
ay lights on smooth surface the
whole mass of hairs adheres to It. and
each individual hair can be seen under
the microscope to leave distinct
grease spot, which has little circu-
lar mark in its center made by the
hair itself.
with such sticky feet it is naturally
the case that the fly collec good
deal of dust in the course Of his daily
perambulations. If be wishes to walk
on glass or upside down on the cell

day keeping his feet clean Of this coat
