Winus Of Lace.

The wings of the lace wing fly are.
MS Its name implies. very much like
lace In appearance. The wings really
consist OF very fine gauze. much more
perfectly made than the finest hand
made lace.
One popularity about this fly is that
1t hangs its eggs up by fine silk
thread, sometimes singiy and at other
times In bundles. instead Of laying
them on the branch Of n tree or In q
hole or corner. as do most other flies.
The eggs are nlso peculiar in that
they change color. When first laid
they are green. but just before hatch.
ing they become white.
This fly is n great friend and assist
ant of the gardener. for 1t attacks the
green flies which do so much destruc.
ton to currant and other fruit trees.

DIAMOND GEM OF ROMANCE

Diamonds and romance are synony-

temples, or flashed from the splendid
thrones OF emperors. or gllttered In
golden basins amid gems Of every hue.
the crests OF warriors. the turbans OF
rajnhs, the breasts Of begums and the
sandals OF courtesnns.
To win diamonds temples have been
profnned. palaces looted, thrones torn
to fragments. princes tortured. women
hosts and slaves disemboweled. Some
have fallen on battletields, to be picked
up by ignorant freebooters and sold for
few silver coins, and others have
been cast Into bitches by thieves. or
swallowed by guards. or sunk In ship
wrecks, or broken to powder In mo-
ments OF frenzy. No strain OF fancy In

marvels Of fact In the diamond his

Butterflies for Collectors.

Agriculture is as far advanced in
the United States rs In any other coun
try In the world but thus far there
are no farms In this country on which
fine specimens of butterflies are
raised. according to those interested
In the study Of these insects. In this
respect. England is ahead of this
country. for In the county of Kent
there Is a butterfly farm whose prod
uct goes to collectors, choice speci-
mems bringing as much as $50. An
average Of 500 butterflies day Is
raised on the English farm, where TO-
900 caterpillars are maturing at the
same time.

HOW
OPTICAL ILLUSION THAT
WE CALL MIRAGE FORMS.

w lltaL llsLSShoAS
WE CALL MIRAGE FORMS.
One of the most celebrated
miragcs is that which Is OBJ
served now and then from the
neishborhood of Glacier bay.
In Alaska, where In the dis
lance, above IL vast sheet OF
glacial Ice. city Is seen as II
suspended in the air. 1t has
buildings of beautiful md I'M
posing architecture. tall
churches with spires and but
tresses and many streets OF
houses, plain to the view.
This is the so-called Silent
City of Alaska. The duke Of the
Abruzzi saw 1t few years
ago when he visited Alaska.
Many attempts have been made
to photograph 1t. but for some
reason unexplained. without sue
cess. Some persons have gone
SO far as to declare that II Is II
view of the city OF Bristol. In
England.
Irregularities Of Ice formation.
plus Imagination, doubtless ac-
count for the strange vision -
an uplifting of the supposed
scene being attributable to
mirage. Optical Illusions of this
kind are not uncommon In arc.
tic and antarctic regions.
There is a famous mirage.
called "Fatn Morgana." which on
occasions Is seen from the
neIghborhood OF Reggie, in Italy.
Here the effect produced is due
to layer of heated air. which
by rcfraction OF light brings ill.,
to view distorted picture Of
the far-away Sicilian shore. To
the Italian peasant 1t appears
rs n city with palaces, towers
and minarets-the mysterious
home of the fairy Morgnnn.
William Scoresby. the arctic
explorer. describes n similar
mirage which he beheld from or
the coast of Greenland. lie
writes: "The general appear.
ance of the coast, us viewed
through telescope, was that
of an extensive ancient city.
Astounding In ruins Of castles.
Obelisks, churches and mOnu-
ments-a grand and Interesting
phantnsmngOrin."
A feature OF arctic geography
which appears on I'LL the maps
is Croker Land, which Pcary
thought he saw from mountain
peak in Grant Land.
The troops OF Napoleon when
he was In Egypt were rather
frightened by mirnges. And
during the recent war the Brit.
ish Of MesOpOtamia were obliged
on at least one occasion to stop
fighting because of the confu-
sion arising from an illusion
Of the kind.
As everybody knows. miragcs
are very common In hot desert
regions. A layer. Of warmed and
rarefied air serves as mirage,
rejecting objects above 1t. Thus.
rejecting the sky, 1t may pro-
ducc the effect Of sheet of
wnter, the unsteadiness of the
heated air lending ripplcs to
help out the picture and render
ii more deceptive.

The U. S. Steel corporation cuts its
price on steel rails 81 a ton. It's the
first cut in 81 months. This means
that the steel corporation thinks the
time is close at hand when railroads
will become heavy buyers. and is bid
ding for the business. In the long run,
this may be more important news
than the railroad strike controversy,
for the big steel men think the next
large buying movement will start with
railroad orders.
School attendance gains. Census
shows that continental United states
last year had S3,25o,S70 children be
tween and 90 years Of age OF
these, 81 per cent attended school.
Year before, only SO per cent were
scholars. That's a real gain. Such
statistics are more gratifying than in
creases in foreign trade. Making
more intelligent adults is more impor-
tant than manufacturing more goods
or growing more horse-radish. Ma
tons real wealth is its children.

BETTER MAKE 1T SMALLER.

Manhattan, the island on which New
York City proper is built, may be ex-
tended six miles down the bay. Engi-
neers say it can be done. The con-
struction company has been formed
and says it has the funds. If the war
department consents, work will begin.
Lawson Purdy, expert on New York
land values, a few years ago said that
dredging in the East river would in
crease Manhattan's population 100000,
adding $400, 100000 to real estate val
ues Multiply that many times and you
have the wealth that would accrue to
landlords by extending Manhattan six
miles farther.
Congestion becomes a liability when
it passes q certain point. New York
passed that point long ago.
1t would be better for New York and
for the national health and prosperity
If six miles could be cut away from
Manhattan instead of added to it.
