Flies are incubated from egzs, Re an arti- ficial hatching arrangement, and the young files are taught all the deviltry they know right in the factory. Some will look upon this statement as false, and wonder why any asso- ciation of men should engage in the artificial propagation of the fly. We will explain. It is Well known that ilies die at the end of the season, and if it were not for artificial prop- agation, there would be none the second sea- son, The parties that are engaged in this in- dusiry are also sole manufac y pa. perand fiy traps. We trust that the object is now plain. In order to sell their paper and traps it is necessary to have game to eaten.

The old fly, ‘alter seating the young tlies on cuffs and collars, calls “ Attentiot and after buzzing around a little, lights on the sleeper’s nose. The sleeper pretends to be mad, and slaps at the fly—this is a mere matter of form, however, for if a sleeper engaged by the asso- ciation kills an old stool ily, it is deducted from his or her salary. AS the old tly gets away the young flies laugh and want to try it themselves. ‘Then the old fly ae upon the lady sleeper’s big toe and proceeds deliberate- ly to walk up her foot, ankle and calf, stopping occasionally to bite. This is very trying to the alleged sleepers, causing nervousness and a twitching of the muscles, but they must not injure the fly. The little flies notice every- thing, and after the old fly has carouséd around, and tickled and buzzed, then the ‘oung flies are allowed to practice on them. he persons practiced on get $5 a day and board, as it is a very particular and trying situation. Then comes the expensive business of dis- tributing flies throughout the country. For- merly it was done through book agents and lightning rod peddlers, but that was found too expensive, so the association originated the idea of sending out regular agents, called tramps, to introduce the flies. The first year only about 10,0) tramps were sent out, but the business has grown to such huge proportions, that it is estimated that this year the associa- tion has out half a million tramps, leaving flies around. They go from house to house beg- ging, and before they leave they manage to ropa few flies. Each tramp hasa card with a million young flies on. After he has par- taken Of BIS més: 2nd the wounan of the house is out after a shotgun or a dog to drive him away, he slips his hand up his sleeve and tears off a piece of card containing perhaps 10,000 young flies and drops it in the woodbox, or in some convenient place. That is enough to start on, as the flies breed rapidly. The next day the woman will wonder “where on airth all them files come from.’ The company has distributing points all over the country, Chicago, St. Louis, St. Paul being among them, where the tramps go once a month after a new supply. Acard willlasta tramp thirty days. The introduction of the fly paper and the fly traps is easier, as the articles are sent directly to wane, who sel] them to consumers. Stock in the association is worth an immense amount, paying a quarterly divi- derd of 2) per cent. ‘The oy way that the fly nuisance can be abated is to kill the tramps as fast as they enter a community or destroy the manufactory at New Jersey.

Most of my readers are doubtless familiar with the account (an oft-told tale at any rate) of the sudden increase in the splendor of a small portion of the sun’s surface on Saptem- r 1, 1859, observed by two astronomers inde- pendently. The appearances described cor- respond with exactly what we should expect if two large meteoric masses traveling side by side had rushed with a velocity orizinally, amounting to 200 or 300 miles per second, through the portions of the solar atmosphere lying just above, at and just below the visible photosphere. The actuai rate of motion was measured at 120 miles per second as the min- imum, but may, if the actual direction of mo- tion was considerably inclined to the line of sight, have amounted to more than 200 miles per second. The effect was such that the parts of the sun thus suddenly excited to an in- creased emission of light and heat es like bright stars upon the background of the glowing ae itself. One of the ob- servers, ponies supposed for a moment that the dark glass screen used to protect the eye had broken. The increase of splendor was exceedingly limited in area, aad lasted onty for a few minutes—fortunately for the inhab- itants of earth. As it was, the whole frame of the earth sympathised with the sun. Vivid au- roras were seen uot only in both hemispheres, but in latitudes where auroras are seidom seen, They were accompanied by unusually great electro-magnetic disturbances. “In many places,” says Sir J. Herschel, “the tele- pa Wires struck work. At Washington and hiladelphia the electric signalman received severe electric shocks. At a station in Nor- way the pelekrs phic apparatus was set fire to, and at Boston, in North Hap a flame of fire followed the pen of Bain’s electric tele- graph, which writes down the message upon chemically-prepared paper.” We see, then, that most ay the sun can be oger| excited to increased eiissivn of light ani heat which, nevertheless, may last but for a very. short time; and we have good reason for believing that the actual cause of the sudden change in his condition was the downfall of meteoric matier upon a portion of his surface. We may well believe that, whatever the cause may have been. it was one which might in the case of other suns, or even in our sun's own case, affect a much larger portion of the photosphere, in which case would be just Such an accession of splendor as we recogiize in the case of the new stars. And as the small local accession of brilliancy lasted only a few minutes, we can weil believe that an increase of surface briilianey aifecting a much larger Portion of the photosphere, or even the entire Photosphere, might last for a few days or weeks.—[ Proctor in Contemporary Review.

TERRORS OF LOST WANDERERS (Correspondence Cuteaco T) MANrToRA, Tuesi 20 There was found upon the I e spring the body of a man who hay been missing since February last. This unfortunate person Was an ofticer of the company. and had started in the depth of winter, along with four others, to visit a distant post. Their means of conveyance were horse-sieds, instead of the ordinary winter vehicles of the couutry—snow shoes and dog-sledges. The gentleman was a first-rate traveler, and accustomed from boy hood to such work. He knew the coun weil, and, for a man of his strong constitutior the Severity of the winter's cold bad too few terrors. At the crossing of the White Mud river he volunteered, as the party with which he trayeled had run short of provisions, and their sleds, in consequence of deep snow, trav- eled heavily, to push onward a'one, with luten- tion of sending back assistance from the fort. ¢ followed the track correctly until nightfall, when he lost his way, eed in an attempt to find a shorter route. The following mora- ing he resumed his journey, but in the wrong direction, and, afier another night spent on the plain, running about ina circle to preserve warmth, the third day’s travel brought him within thirty miles of the fort, and very far distant from the track. Here hope seems to have deserted him ; and having hung a portion of his clothing on’a tree to attract the atten- tion of any passer-by, he lay down and was frozen to death. When the body was recovered he lay with one hand on his heart, the of ver containing a compass. The hai breeds who found his body read by his tracks in the snow the whole history of this fierce fight for life—read it with the saine ease that you read the account from the page ve fore you. There was not a foot-print or mark anywhere but formed a link in the chain of evidence. They knew from the varied bard ness of the snow about the man’s tracks just » long before they had bk on made; from u gih of the stride when he was w g le iberately and whea excitedly, aud adduced therefrom the state of mind he was in at the time. They knew he had not taken proper precaution to sustain his failing strengvh, be- cause the leather of his mittens and moccasin ps, Which he might have eaten, was un- touched. It was easily comprehended by these experienced plain-~dwellers, too, that the poor victim, on realizing himself as lost, must have grown’ so excited as to lose bis presen mind. or he would have known his necess: general position with reference to the river, and have acted otherwise than hedid. With his prac.ical knowledge of the use of a com- pass, and of the country over which he tray- eled, he could have brought himself to any point he chose. But the dread terror of being lost had deprived him of reason in three days, The time required to produce this etfe: ries with different mental constitutions, | traveling across the py ince with a hi, Ire- ie some years ighiy educated German, Dut of extremely delicate physical organization and. 3 unaccustomed to prairie travel. We journey- ed by dog sledge, and usually turned some dis- tance off the main track into the timber to camp. After dinner one day, before the dogs were harnessed to the sledges, the German 3i ene would walk ahead a short distance, staried off alone. When he reached the main track, however, instead of going ah he un- wittingly took the back track. Having li gered some time about the camp fire before starting, 1 journeyed on for somewhat over an hour before deciding definitely that my com panion had taken the wrong direction, lat once ordered the drivers to face about. After nearly two hours’ travel we espied our man at the distance of halfa mile from the road, in the deep snow, standing still. He made no effort to approach us when motioned to do so. Not wishing to run the dozs into the deep spQy, i remained ontthe trail with them, while obows the drivers went after him on snowshoes. He returned leading the unfortunate man by the hand ina bewildered way, and [saw at once from the vacant expression of his face that his intellect was shaken. The experi- enced drivers shook their heads knowingly, with the remark that he would come around all right afteratime. It was not until late next day, however, that he recovered the use of his faculties sufficiently to give any deserip- tion of what had befallen him. He said that, on realizing he was lost, he had suffered alter- nate paroxysms of terror and despair, until at last reason had left him and he recollected no more. Another incident, which octurred during the summer butlalg hunts, may serve to illus trate moré tidrougusy the intensity of the ter- ror which overtakes the lost.

This continued for two hours only. en we found him again heran from us like a deer, and it was only after an exciting chase on horseback that we sueceed- ed in catching him. He was clean daft, and, strangest of all, his hair, before brown black, was Sleached an iron gray. To any one not familiar with the plains, the danger of being left alone upon them is not to be underestimated. As well might he be left upon an unebartered sea.

He is incapable of sum- moning thought sufficient to realize anything —to consider his present situation, or take measures for future action. It is an inde- finable state, where all is chaotic, quickly suc- ceeded, however, by that all-pervading terror which chain thought and action ina manner nearly akin to death—a vague. shapeless terror, imagwing all possible horrible things, and ainting mistly and hazily upon the numbed culties nameless miseries yet to be experi- enced; a slow death by starvation or thirst; exposure to the devouring elements or wild beasts; tortures of every imaginable descrip- tion always ee ane, death; and above all, never more tosnare human Sym- Pathy—a going out in utter darkuess, perfectly alone.

The deep snows oblit- erate all landmarks. To the plain dweller, however, all the myriad features of the prairie are but so many guide. boards pointing out his destination. He who runs may read. He has the sun by day, the moon and the stars by night. The turning of a blade of grass points him east or west; the bark of every tree north and south; the birds of the air forecast the weather for him. The minatest trail or track is visible to hin. He seesa twig broken, and it tells the story of a passing animal: an up- turned pebble on the beach tells him the hour when the animal drank. He will distinguish the trail of a wagon on the prairie years after it has passed; the grass, he Says, never grows the same. There is not a sigh of the restless wind thatis unintelligible to him. He will take a een course in one direction over the plains, where no landmarks can _be seen, on days when the sun is not visible, nor a breath of air stirring. The half-breed or Indian never gets lost. If he be caught in a storm upon the plain, his escape becomes simply a question of physical endurance. Of alower order of culture, and of a solitary habit, he is scarce.y susceptible to the men- tal torture that prosirates the white man. As an illustration of tais fact, let me tell you the story of a haif breed of my acquaintance. This hybrid individual was by occupation a voyagcur in summer, anda trapper and huater in the winter season. His mental calibre was = ordinary, = to read or write, and his habit apathetic, living much alone: Some of his ponies having strayed otf upon the praiiie during the winter monihs, he went in quest of them. The prairie was the native heath to him, which he had trodden from infancy wiih the same assurauce that ordinary mortals walk the pavement. He had no fear of being lost: every depression in the snow- clad earth, every stunted shrub, was a land- mark to guide him on his way. | Yet, after an absence of half a day, a storm arose which ob- scured the landscape, and, some his prairie craft, he found himself lost. He accepted the situation, and knowing that any efforts to ex- iribate himself until after the subsidence of the storm would only nove fruitless, set about making. preparations for his safety from [reez- ing. himself to a clump of cotton- wood trees as a lani k, and walked in a circle about it.

The lap is unquestionably a most useful and admirable organ. When expanded, the lap will admirably hold fifteen quarts of chest nuts, peaches, apples or other desirable fruit, and there have been women whose laps would hold the entire supply of hairpius required for their back hair—though, of course, laps of these enormous dimensions are somewhat rare. It is, however, at picnics and tea par- ties that the splendid cababilities of the femaia lap are especially displayed. It is sy matter for a lady, while engaged on a picnic, to hold a plate of salad, another of pickled oys- ters, a third of ice cream, and a fourth of cake, together with a cup of coffee, on her lap atone and the same time.

As for holding a teacup or coffee-cup on his Knees, he recognizes the utter impossibility of the thing. His only resouree is to deposit it on the floor, or on the grass close by his side, after which he usually steps on it, or least kicks it over. This indicatesin the clearest possible manner that man is not by nature a picnicking animal.
