This is, no doubt, the secret of those"lager, full•Qro.wnfls" hioh we may have wondered about early in the iprlug. These same files must have laid hundreds of eggs in decaying vegetables and other unwholesome plasma, where the young maggots lived for several days feeding upon very nasty food—not mubh like the daintiee whioh they afterward seek—and after pas- eing a wee : or two in a quiet nymph state, oome fort in perfect swarms of fifes, Fewpe llhple e h r interested int is common } a little luaeo4-except for its deetruotien or banishment -yet it le well worth our study, and it has puzzled many a naturalist with Its wonderful eyoa and peculiar mouthpiece. Many insects have the different parte of the mouth free, and the upper pair of jaws, called mandibles, are like sharp -toothed blades, But the mouthpiece of a fly -the mandibles and thick lower lip -are united and form a prebends like the trunk of an elephant, whioh ie thick and long and quite as large in proportion to the elm of the in- fant. This proboscis terminates in two lobes, and through this queer tube the fly takes he food, which oenefets entirely of liquids. The eye of the fly le another ourioue feta lure,. Instead of two, as there seems to be, each eye is composedoded of four thousand microscopic eyes whioh are so arranged that the fly cannot roll its eyes en you can, they being fixed firmly in hie head. But it can see as well, if not better than you, because each little eye lam the power of seeing per- feotly In ono direction. Ju=st think of see- ing in eight thousand different ways I And a fly's feet are also very wonderful, It can walk upside down and on mirrors or ether highly polished snrfacee without slip- ping or tumbling; because on the underside of each tiny foot le a little sucker -such as ' bays make of leather and a string, only very much smaller, -and these six little euokers hold the fly safely in any position. On the legs are regular " fly brushes," whio are used fer the purpose of brushing the dust from its head, body, and irridenent wings. .Have yen ever wondered why a fly has but twe wings while butterflies are supplied with four T yet a fly is muoh stronger on the wine than those gaudy creatures whioh fly so irregulary and feebly. Flies are cal- led two winged inseats, and there are many ether also, as gnats, may -filen and mosqui- toes, whioh aro all classed in one order, and called diptere, meaning double. Although they are oallee two wingcd.in- eeote still a second pair of wings do exist, but in a very rudimentary condition. They are atta hed, one n eaoh side of the body, just bookend t teguments whioh sustain • the larger let wings, and oan be more eaaily aeon in the gnat or mayfly than in the home -fly, These little wings are oalled poises, or balancers. Perhaps ancient flies found their second pair of wings useless, and, as with all members whioh are not ex• erolsed, they grew feeble and small, The existence of them certainly shown that the diptarce are net very different from other Insecta. It has been said the house -fly is a tropical Insect, disliking cold, and unable to bear it long ; and but for the shelter and food whioh it finds in our houses, it could not long sur- vive our ots-inaate. Even though it dada shel- ter with tit; `sins we find interest studying its peculiarities, yet it is a very annoying little creature, Many a elumberer is teased out of his morning nap by some chilly fly seeking the warmth of pillow and cheek to limber up hie feet and wings. Many a neat house- keeper has waged an unsuccessful battle against flies. The question how we oan re. Hove onreelves of these troublesome visitors is a practical one and really has to do with the comfort of a household. Many devisee have been invented for destroying them, but their " numbers never growiless," The beet plan is mercilessly to kill the progeni- tors of the race, whioh appear early in April er May, and then screen windows and doors against the entrance of all later comers, B ACS DAM RE9,VRN.

Over thirty years ago, when t wo or three Eogliehmen began the work of collecting in a volume the knowledge then existing about the scenes of Bible history, they became very much impressed with the eoantiness of the information they sought and the hap- bazerd manner in whioh it was gathered. Out of their report on this subject grew the Palestine exploration fund, which for twenty-one years past has kept its explorers ransaoking the ruins of ancient civilization. The world ewes to the work of this society, supplemented by the fruitful labor of ice colleagues in Egypt and Assyria, the iden- tification with more or less certainty of most of the important places mentioned in the Bible, • These til•elees explorers, with their spades and geological hammers, digging into an. °lent tombe and crumpled eynagoguee, map- ing every ruin, exploring all the caverns and water conreee, and bringing the stage upon whioh the drama of sacred history was en- acted clearly before the eyes of modern students. It Is a precious boon to this gen- eration that these now lights have been sup- plied to illumine ;its researches into the greatest of books, History cannot be stud- ied intelligently without maps. The student of Europe in this century requires a series of maps to enable him to uuderatand the ,momentous and numerous changes in po- litical boundaries from the rise of Napoleon to the treaty of Berlin. So these recent re. seeroheefn Bible lands are teetering to the maps most important information, We can now trace with a large degree of oortalnty the route of the Erodue. We oan correotly plaoe en the map of Egypt in the eastern hall ef the delta the fertile land of Goshen where Joseph bade his brethren dwell. We know wnere the ohildren of Israel reared the treasure city of Pithom at Phareah's command. We knew, it is be- lieved, the exaot spot where Jeremiah stood when the people listened to the fiery elo- glanoe of one of the prepheciee, Nat the least interesting to these researches is the discovery j est made by that very fortunate explorer, Mr. Finders Petrie, who last year unearthed Naukratls,' In an arid waste, once erloh,pastoral die- triot of the Nile delta, he has discovered the ruins of that very palace, built, as the records in its foundations show, by king Peammetichue L, to whioh " the remnant of Judah," brought the daughters of king Zidekiah after that unfortunate menaroh had been led a mutilated captive to Baby• len, There remains of a royal palace, which have hitherto escaped the notice of Egyptol- ogists, are still known to the wandering Arabs as "the oastle of the Jew's daughter.' The proofs found by Mr. Petrie seem cen- olneive to identify this plaoe as the Tahpan- hes of Scripture and the refuge of the Jew- ish princesses. One of the interesting fen• tures of this discovery is the probable iden- tification of the very pavement of brickwork mentioned in the forty-third chapter of J aremiah. The prophet says : " Then oame the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah in Tahpanhes aayfng. Take great stones in thine hand and hide them in mortar in the brlokwork whioh is at the entry of Phar- aoh's house in,Tahpanhes in the sight of the men of Judah; and say unto them. Thus eaith the Lord of Hosts the God of Israel : Beheld I.will send and take Nebnohadnez• eel', the king of Bsbylon, my servant, and will set Ms throne upon these stones that I have hid ; and he shall spread his royal pavilion over them. And he shall' came and smite the land of Egypt." The revised version gives as an alternat- ive reading for "the brickwork whioh is at the end of Pharoah's house" the word " pavement er square." Mr. Petrie 'found in the coarse of his excavations, facing the entrance to the building, " an area of con- tinuous brickwork resting on sand Omit 100 by 60 feet," The brickwork isitwe er three feet think, and was apparently designed as an open-air platform for meeings or the tranaaotion of public business. The palace was destroyed by fire, and it is reasonable to believe that the toroh was applied by the soldiers of the Babylonian king when, as is well known, o Nebuchadnezzar verified , N the words of the prophet by his invasion of Egypt. All these fruitful researches are not only serving to elucidate the text of the eaored volume, but they are also affording new and striking proofs of the great foot that e the Bible is the moat logl cal and reasonable ef books, We know now more fully than we ever understood before the discoveries of recent years, that there is no book in the world more worthy of investigation. r• -•fir.

In litigation they are reli• able evidence ; copies are not, Heathenism at Home. Only a few blooks frem Printing House Square in New York city is a heathen temple, where the Chinese deities are worshipped as in their own land. Mr. Ferman thus deaorlbes it : Itis not an Imposing -looking entrance ; R opens directly upon a steep stairway, and the only suggestive'feature Is a strip of red paper over the door -way whioh locks as if it was a label torn off a package of fire -crackers. It bears the name of" Joss,'' and tells the devoutly, lnolined Celestial that the temple is up' stairs. Early last week the new interior fittings of the temple, the altar, tables and chairs, 'arrived here from China and were put in place. Now the unpretending third floor contains some of the finest specimens of Chinese art in this city. The altar is of carved ebony, practically a large frame for the picture of Joss and hie attendant deities, exeottted on satin in the most elaborate style of Chinese art, and a heavy table for holding the in. oense-burners and votive offerings. As a whole the carvings represent the universe; along the bottom, under the table, is the sea, with fish, acquatio plants, and the huge tartle upon whioh, according to Chinese mythology, the earth is snppesod to rest; From each aide rise trees, shrube, and heavily carved foliage, with birds and animals among the branches. The branohes interlock over the top, and the whole is backed with heavy plate -glass mirrors re- presenting the heavens thiokly studded with golden stars. The chairs and tables aro fn the same style of rich Oriental oarv- ing, and the room is lighted by carved lan- terns hanging f rem the ceiling, The wails are hung with. Chinese mottoes, the air is heavy with incense,.and it itis hard to be- lieve that we are in New Yerk and not in Cathay. The whole affair oost the Chinese re,idents of New York between $6,000 and $8,000, and is entirely self.eupperting: They have queer features in their religion, which was quaintly explained to me by the old priest in charge. I noticed that a large proportion of the worshipers would oome in, make their obeisance to the altar, burn a few prayer sticks, and go out. Some, however, remained a and time and gave the priest sums varying from twenty-five gents to a dollar. In reeponae to my in- quiry he said : " A man oan say all he wants to in three minutes, so be have three minutes fer no- thing ; 1f he have good deal to say, he pay twenty-five Dents for next three minutes, fifty for next three and so on. No good to pray too long." Then he added, after a moment's re- fleotlen " In Melloan °huroh man talks an hour and every body pray two hours or two hours and a half, then make collection beg to pay minister, Chinese way, 500 or 600 people pray two hours; we make two or three thousand dollar," With its dingy exterior the Chinese of Now York have now one of the most richly furnished places of worship in the city.

Few people realize what a wonderful, delicate structure the human enr really ie. That whioh we ordinarily designate so is, after all, only the mere outer poroh of a seriea of winding paesagee, whioh, like the lobbies of a great building, lead frena the outer air into the inner chambers.
