which they are unable to focus but
which give aInosaic picture of what
ever they are looking at. In addi-
ton to these compound eyes they
have three smaller eyes, used to
focus on objects and to enable them
to keep their balance in flight. The
speed of insects in flight is almost
unbelievable" continued the speak
er. Certain tropical insects are
known to fly faster than the fastest
airplanes," Mr.. Pierson stated that
one such insect attains a speed of
600 miles per hour, and as the fast
est racing planes have thus far failed
to attain 800 miles per hour, it is
seen that the insect is still far in
the lead as regards flying speed.
Speaking of Natures custom of
adapting the equipment of her chill
dren to their immediate environ
ment, Mr.. Pierson added: THE great
variation found in the wings of diff
ferent insects is an interesting study.
On high mountain tops such as the
upper levels OF. Mt. Katahdin, wing
less gAsshoppers are frequently
found, as Nature has discovered that
those equipped with wings would
soon be blown off by the existing
high winds. In the case of house
flies and mosquitoes, which do not
ordinarily fly far, we find them
equipped with, only one pair of
wings, the other pair having evolved
into a pair of knobbed balancers. In
the beetles, the fore wings have de-
veloped into shell-like coverings
which serve as a sort of armor to
protect them from their enemies. In
the dragon flies, moths and bees.
which depend largely upon their
speed and long flights for their food.
we find them equipped with two
serviceable pairs of wings"

Antique Pitcher \

Mrs A. d. Watson of New Sharon
has just loaned the State Museum a
type which is eagerly sought after
by collection of antique pottery. The.
pitcher is of graceful design and is
bears medallion of George Wash
ington, and motto across the top of
the medallion reading as follows:
Deafness to the ear that will pa
tiently hear, and dumbness to the
tongue that will utter a calumny
against the Immortal Washington"
Underneath Washington's picture
are the words, Long Live the Presi-
dent of the United States"
A recent article in the collectors
publication antiques" tells US that
these curious old pitchers were made
by English pottery makers to sell to
Yankee ship captains at the period
of Washington's presidency, and
they must have had a considerable
amount of popularity, as specimens
are still occasionally found, although
the pitchers are of type that would
be very subject to breakage.
