Some light on the fate of lliea was thrown by II. Hill in a lecture at the Itoyal Victoria hull, London, 011 "Flies and How They Disappear." In Eugland alone there are 3,000 different kinds of flies, niul Mr. Hill mentioned tlic following principal ways in which flics perish: They are drowned in milk at the breakfast table; they got surrounded by a white fungus, which saps their strength; they are eaten by spiders, wasps, frogs, chameleons, lizards, held mice or flsb. With so many enemies it might be wondered how flies have continued lo exist, hut Mr. Hill said that lie had himself witnessed a daddy ionglegs whose front half was being devoured by a spider continuing calmly to lay eggs with the other half, as though nothing were happening. "Why Men Wear Moitnclir*. The Gaulois of Paris has been investigating that grave question, "Why do meu wear mustachesV" About 100 men answered the question. Six replied that It was too much trouble to shave, one declared .that it was to hide his teeth, another that ids long nose, without it, gave him a had appearance, and three that It avoided colds. Three others maintained that It improved the air they breathed, and seven were of the opinion that a mustache was necessary to health. Seventeen men were content to state that they did it to please themselves, while only two said it was to please their wives. About sixty gave the reason that women do not like clean shaven men.

It flowers in (be month of August. und tl?o butterflies, attracted by j the perfume, hover around it in large numbers and push their trunks iuto the corollas to sip the honey.

Apparently the plant lias nothing to gain by the.death of the Infect, as it is not carnivorous, Mho the Venus fly trap. In fact, if the butter- 1 [l.v were allowed to come and go It ivould tend to foster the species by assisting cross fertilization.

I A C'olnnaal Ilnrp. j The largest harp ever made, so far is is known, was that invented and constructed by M. Verilau, provost of Burkli, near Basel. It was known as [lie gigantic meteorological ..-Italian harp. It was 320 feet in length and ivas erected in the garden of its iuvent,?r in 17S7. This harp consisted of fifteen iron wires, 320 feet In leugth, it retched between two polos. The wires were front two to three inches apart, the largest being one-sixth of an inch in thickness and the smallest oneiwelftli of an inch. They were placed In the direction of north and south and Inclined in such a manner as to form ; an angle of froin twenty to thirty degrees with the horizon, being stretched by means of rollers properly disposed J for the purpose. Whenever the weuth or changed the wires sounded with j such loudness that it was impossible to < go 011 with n concert in the house. The . sound sometimes represented the hissing noise of water in rapid ebullition, sometimes that of a harmonicon and sometimes that of distant chimes or an organ. The ITrnt lint*. Discoursing on the subject of liats an antiquary expressed the opinion that the hat was first used quite as much for decoration as for protection. The nueestor of all lints lie considers to have been the fillet, or band, around the hair worn by the ancient Greeks, nniong others. Probably the first hint gained by men regarding head ornaments was through observing the I crests, plumes and antlers of various birds and boasts. The eastern races, with their fondness for ceremony and display, afford the most notable Instances of the use of hats as signs of rank and authority. Thus In Buddhist countries the gods nro represented as wearing elaborate forms of headgear. I11 Korea the fashion attains its height, no fewer than fifty kinds of hats being worn by the natives as indications of their social position. The Cent I* Not Smell.

There are 4 pies, ore, or pfennige to the cent or 5 banl. centesimi, lopta, heller, I ponnia, centimes or stotinki.
