Files at Sea.

The finding of flies and butterflies a long way out at sea is perhaps to most readers a fact not very well known. A recent traveler in the tropics relates that when thirty miles out from land a plague of flies overtook the vessel on which he was steaming. The cabin was so full of them that the beams were blackened. Common black houseflies they were for the most part, with, however, a good sprinkling of large green flies. Where they could have come from was a mystery, but they were a terlble nuisance, and, although those on board swept off hundreds in a net, their numbers were not sensibly diminished. Another singular circumstance was that, although no land was in sight, large dragon sties repeatedly flew across the ship, and a large dark butterfly was observed to (lit across in the direction of the nearest land, quite thirty miles away, without stopping to rest on the vessel at all.—London Globe. —t- —■—__ The city council of Cincinnati Is planning a subway to connect the business section of the city with' the outlying residential sections.
