To the scientists the sand fly is one of the most Interesting and beautiful of insects. The fly lives but a day at most, hut before It sees the light It has lived from one to three years under the water in the form of what the scientists call a nymph. The nymph can both wall; and swim. As it grows it molts, and after about the ninth molt tiny wings appear on its thorax. These grow larger until the insect comes forth from the water a sand fly it then has but one duty?to iny its eggs. This doue, the saud tly zigzags through the air until its brief life is ended.

To the untutored Chinamen the presence of the missionary is a puzzle They simply cannot imagine human beings exiling themselves from their native land for the love of men on the other side of the globe. So they frame sundry theories to explain the thing to themselves. One theory Is that the missionaries are secret political agents bent on gaining an Influence over the Chinese and then swaying them to the advantage of their respective govern? ments. Only of late have the natives come to realize that the strangers are not ?"?nt by th?Mr government;-, but !,v religious groups AccordInc to another theory.

This was the advice given by Dr. J. Stenson Hooker In a lecture on "Posturing aud Posing Tor Health" at the Bimple life conference and ex- j hibltlon in London. "It is wonderful |0 what extent our state of health can b? altered in this way." Dr. Hooker added "It stirs up the currents of feeling which act on the nerves.

The accompanying lines were: M 'O Lord, deliver us from the pow? ers of darkness.' "The leading man spoke the lines, but darkness didn't follow. lie spoke them again, and still the stage was distressingly light. Finally he roared: M 'O Lord, deliver us from the pow er of darkness and also give that fool gas man sense enough to turn down the lights.' "The gas lights went down, and the audience roared."- Plttsburg Chronicle Telegraph. The Bible as a Detective. The Bible was used until quite re? cent years for the detection of thieves.
