It Wedsed Him Head Down In a Slit
 tn a Steep Cliff.
 A personal experience of highly sensational character is recorded by A. Fl. Savage Landor in his book Across Unknown South America"
 '"rhe forest near the Secundury river was at first overgrown with dense vegeta tion that gave us a good deal of work and extra exertiOn. but after that. when we got some distance from the water. the forest was fairly clean. except of course for the fallen trees We found troublesome ravines of great depth where streamlets had cut their way through.
 "In going down one of those difficult ravines ] had an accident that might have been fatal. The ravine, the sides of which were almost vertical. was very narrOw-only about ten metres across. We let ourselves down. told ing on to a liana. When we reached the bottom we found tiny brook winding its way between great round boulders that left space about two feet wide for the water. 1 began to climb the other side. and 1 had got to a height of about thirty feet. In order to go up this steep incline I had set one foot against a small tree and pulled myself up by liana Onluckily, the liana suddenly gave way. The weight of the load that I'had on my shoulders made me lose my balance so that my body described complete semicirele 1 dropped down head first from that height on the rocks below
 Providence once more looked after me on that occasion On the flight down I already imagined myself dead; but no-my head entered the cavity between two great rocks. against which my shoulders and the load be came damned. while my legs waved wildly in midair was forced so hard against the two side rocks that I could not possibly extricate myself It was only when BenedictO and the new man came to my help and pulled me out that we were able to resume our journey was much shaken and a good deal bruised. but otherwise none the worst for that unpleasant fall" =

Why the Germ Laden Pest constantly
 Rubs and Brushes Them.
 Before the men of science terrified the world with their talk of germs most people thought that the houSetiy was harmless creature and very cleanly in his habits. since he seemed to spend d great part of his time in cleaning his legs. but since public Opin ion has turned against him some eX planation has to be found for his np- parent cleanliness. Says the BibliOthek der UnterhaItIlng und deS WiSSenS:
 '"The fact that q fly can walk on d glazed or slippery perpendicular sur face has long been matter of Obser vatiOn 1t was at first thought that the fine hairs that cover his legs were so small that they could enter the pores of the SmOOthest surface and in that Uly 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 walI The advent of the microscope has made 1t possible to observe the precise facts about the fly'S unusual powers
 "It is true that the 1y's feet secrete kind of grease. but not in liquid form. Each leg has from 1.6OO to 2.00O minute hairs. and each hair carries d certain amount of this fat When the fly lights on smooth surface the 4swhOle 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 ilr its center made by the hair itself
 With such sticky feet it is naturally the case that the fly collects a good deal of dust in the course of his daily perHmbulatiOnS If he wishes to walk on glass or upside down on the cell ing he must spend few hours every day keeping his feet clean of this coat ing of dirt"
