TIIE FARM Tks Fly Bakst Six EssSrtS klrskM a Srraril Ikw Is s Marry. Thera are many insects which one would little suspect to be furnished with apparatus suited to swirt and more or less continuous flight. House flies frequent tho inside of our windows, buzzing sluggishly in and out of the room. But what different creatures are they when they accom pany your horse on a hot auramers day. A swarm of these little pests keep pertinaciously on wing about the horse's ears; quicken the pace up to ten or twelve miles an hour, still they are there; let a gust of wind arise, and carry' them backward and behind, the breeze having dropped, their apeed is redoubled, and they return to their post of annoyance to the poor horse even when urgod to its fastest pace. But this example gives only a partial proof of Ihe flys power of flight, as the following will show: The writer was traveling one day iu uuliimn by rail at about twenty-flv- e miles an hoar, when a company of flies put in an appearunco at the cur window. They nevor settled, but easily kept pace with tho train; so much so. indeed, that their flight to be almost mechanical, seemed and a thought struck tho writer that they hud probably been drawn into a sort of vortex, whereby they were carried onward with but little exertion on the part of themselves. But this notion wax aoon disproved. They sallied fortli at right angles from the train, flew to a distance of thirty or forty feet, still keeping puce, and then returned with increased speed and buoyancy to tho window. To account for this look at the wings of a fly. Each is composed of an upper snd lower membrane, between which tho bloodvessels aud respiratory organs ramify so as to form a delicuto network for the extended wings. These are used with great quickness, and probubly six hundred strokes are made per second. This would carry the fly about twenty-fiv- e feet, but a sevenfold velocity can easily be attained, makfeet ing one hundred and seventy-fiv- e per second, so that under certain circumstances it can outstrip a racehorse. It a small Insect like a fly can outstrip a racehorso, an insect as large ns a horse would travel very much faster thun a cannon ball Pineapple far Dyspepsia Another possible triumph of medical science orer disease is suggested by a paper read before the Detroit medical association recently on "Alimentation in Therapeutics," in which was announced an important discovery by Mgnor Vincente Marcano of Yeno-zuclin regard to the pineapple. According to Signor Marcano there is in the common pineapple a ferment or principle, similar to pepsin, of such remarkable strength that the juice of a single pineapple will digest ten pounds of beet. If this proves true a new and important agent in the treatment of dyspepsia has been discovered. As nearly all other diseases an directly Influenced by tiie degree ir which food can bo assimiluted, and a1 millions of people have imperfec digestion, the possibilities of this dis co very aro almost limitless, if it prover to bo ss represented. But even mor striking was the further annouuccmcn in the same paper, written by aprao tical chemist, that the juice of a pine apple is a very active solvent of th( membrane formed in dipthoria. Tin pineapple is a wholesome fruit withou retmrd to these striking virtues aserib ed to it, and experiments on tho lines nuggested will bo easy and safe. n, Tired Bnlai.

The experience of tho Ohio station people In trying to fight the potato blight with copper remedies, tho past season, has not altogether been satisfactory. Some rows were sprayed with tho Bordeaux mixture, ethers with the ummonicul solution of carbonate of copper, and some wero left without treatment. Tho Bordeaux mixture was made by adding six pounds of copper sulphate and four pounds of lime to fifty gallons of water. The carbonate mixture was ruado by adding six ounces of copper carbonate to two quarts of ammonia and diluting with fifty gullons of water. Four applications, by spraying, were made during log the season. The blight camo and continued to increase in severity during July and the first half of August -- .late difference in the degree of affection could be delected between the vines untreated nnd those to which the carbonate solution hod been applied. The disapoinlineut for me lies especially in the statement that even the rows treated with tiie Bordeaux mixture were attacked to a considerable extent Still, there was a decided difference between them nnd the other. By the 5th of August the plants were practically all ded except in tho Bordeaux mixture rows, which were yet green and growing. The difference, indeed, was very striking. and the Bordeaux mixture row held out two weeks lun-c- r Ilian tho others. Consequently, there wns a i ccidcd in crease in yield in thean rows. Yet further experiments will be necessary to determine whether the blight ha prevented entirely by the uo nf fungicides, and whether this can be douo cnenply enough to have the increase of crop compensate for the outlay. H seems to mo thnt one point is nlrealy roll established, namely, thnt the application must bo begun curly, nnd before the blight lias taken firm hold on th i plants.
