STICKY. FEET OF THE FLY.
Why the Germ Laden Pest CONSTANT,
Rubs and Brushes Them.

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 hOusefy
was a harmless creature and very
clearly in his habits, since he seemed
to spend great part of his time In
cleaning his legs, but since public opin-
ion has turned against him some ex-
PLANTATION has to be found for his ap-
parent cleanliness. Says the Bibliothek
der Unterhaltung und des Wilson's:
1.-The fact that a fly can walk on a
glazed or slippery perpendicular sur
face has long been matter of obser-
vation 1t was at 6rst 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 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 1t possible to observe the
precise facts about the fy's unusual
powers.
"It is true that the fy's feet secrete
a kind of grease. but not in liquid
form. Each leg has from 1000 to 1000
minute hairs, and each hair carries a
certain amount of this fat. When the
fly lights on smooth surface the
whole mass Of hairs adheres to 1t, and
each individual hair can be seen under
the microscope to leave a distinct
grease spot. which has a little circu
lar mark in it's center made by the
hair itself
with such sticky feet 1t is naturally
the case that the fly collects good
deal of dust in the course of his daily
perambulations Ii 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"

Tolls When a Ship ls Posted In the
Chamber of Horrors.
One of the most interesting of bells
Is the one at Lloyd's, the great Lon
don marine insurance exchange. Its
ringing has more significance than the
sound of most bells, for it is rung
only when a vessel is reported lost or
when ship long overdue and consid-
cred lost unexpectedly reaches port.
The bell now used at Lloyd's belong
ed to the Lutine. which was wrecked
near the Zuyder Zee In October. 1899.
while taking specie from English mer-
chants to Hamburg
There is room at Lloyd's known as
the chamber of horrors. and here are
posted the kilograms that report casu-
alties at sea. Unimportant accidents
are not entered In the loss book. but
the most serious are not only entered
there. but are cried aloud by an of
fetal who stands in gorgeous uniform
beneath the sounding board.
When after a weeks disappearance
II is feared that a vessel hes gone
down the owners make an applioa ton
to the committee at Lloyd's to have
the ship posted. That is done by post
ing up notice In the chamber of hor
rors which says that the authorities
would be glad of information concern
ing the boat.
A week elapses. and then a second
notice is put up, saying that the boat
has not since been heard of. When
you read that ship has been post
ed'' as missing you may know that
declaration is upon the notice board at
Lloyd's. On that day the insurance
money is payable. and all who were
upon her are legally considered dead.
When ship is posted the old Lutine
bell is tolled once. In the very unusu-
al event of a vessel arriving In port
after being posted the bell is struck
twice. and the caller makes his an
nouncement ffomM the rostrum amid
breathless silence.-Youth's Com
panion. e~

A number of the county boards of
northern Wisconsin have passed
resolutions advocating change in
the present game laws regarding
deer. Some county boards are in
for aDolisnng the s"ason entirely
while others want closed season
until 1918. Others want only resi-.
dents of the county to be able to
hunt in that county. On account OF
the different ideas expressed in the
revolutions it Is not likely that the
next state legislature will make any
change in the present laws.
