This may appear a little like cxsKtreratioa, but it is a fact. Science, backt d by th.- nilcioscope, says so, and wn'iiiu never stretches the truth. Should it do o it would cease to be a science. Argus was fabled to have a hundred je, but Argus would be a very insignificant curiosity compared with the latest discovery in the insect kingdom, lucre are numbers of insects with 100 ana even 500 eyes, but when the number of optica allotted to a single insect reaches up into the thousands the idea is startling Naturalists hare recently been engaged in the study of this most interesting subject. Each succeeding day brings more marvelous results until the astounding, discovery has been made that the common dragon fly, or mosquito hawk, while seemingly possessed of ouly two visual organs, really has as many as 86,000, each of the two visible to the ordinary observer being subdivided into 18,000 separate lenses, euch eyelet huving a distinct nerve connecting it with the brain and actiug entirely independently of its myriads of companions.

of t'rtt. There ure not many island! with a more stormy i r inure heroic history than that of Crete. In nniote antiquity it w.i the i. in lit t.il.le " H.I.- i f cue hull drcd cities" and had an illustrious line of kings, among who wire Knadainauthu.1, Mums ami Idomeneus. The lust named led a fleet of SO ships to assist in the conquest of Troy and was the last of what we may call the legendary kings. After him a gap of several eon tunes occurs, and w hen the record is resumed it is no longer fable, but autln n tio history. At the time of the Persiun invasion of tt recce the island was populous and prosperous. It was divided into several independent republics, which, like those of peninsular Hellas, wert" not alwuys iu peace and friendship w ith each other They kept trag from foreign wars, however, except as they voluntarily furnished mercenary troops to whichever side would puy the 1 at for them. This wus done in both the Persian and Pellopounesian wars, when the Cretan archers were as noted and as dreaded as those of merry England in later duys. The prowess of the ancient Cretans and their insular imsition kept them free froni invasion down almost to the Christian era. While the eagles of Rome "flapped wide wiugs in fiery flight" over nearly all else of the known world that island retained its indeiHiidcnce. Indeed it was only through iutestiue quarrels that it was at lust subdued. Some 70 veurs before the Christian era

to get out of the arc of vision of that
particular lens and pass into that of another, each movement being separately telegraphed to th brain by the facet on duty. But with a stationär' object it is different, since for some reason the minor organ fails to focus accurately, and so reuth r the object less distinct than when ftawed by cyee of only one lens each. A question which continues to puzzle the scientists is whether the animal or insect eees as many images of the objects as he has eyes, or facets. For instauce, does the dragon fly fancy he is flitting over 86,000 p. mis. or does he see only one? Probably one, for tho two eyes of a human being in normal condition show but a single image. Besides, apart from the lenses and cones .'i front, the eye is a hollow sphere pierced by perforations running down the facets toward the center. It follows that the light impressions thus form a single picture, or mosaic, as it were, each facet presenting a lightly different pieture fanin its neighbor and the group presenting a perfect whole. There are many other animals possessed of an extraordinary number of eye. James Francis Stevens, a noted entomologist, is said to have recorded 2,0uo such Speele iu his garden in one afternoon, while Francis Fascoe, another noted naturalist, counted ISO different specimens on his library wiudow. The common scallop, for instauce, baa many eyes scattered irregularly over its body. The lobster has massed together
in each orb more than a hundred distinct eyes, and, unlike human eyes, these art- set forward, instead of being
sunk inward. Does the poor lobst r see things a hundredfold? If so, possibly it
is in avoiding the 99 imaginary lobster
pots that he stumbles into the real one. The common house fly has 4,000 eyes,
the cabbage butterfly 17,000, the drone fly 8.000, the honeybee 6,800. But still at the bead of the list stands the mosquito hawk, or dragon fly, with his Sti, 000 As his name suggests, while not despising any of the smaller insects, his specialty is the mosquito. Indeed he has so succeeded in terrorizing these little pests that his lifeless form still fills them with alarm. In localities where mosquitoes are troublesome an effectual mode of ridding the place of them consists in suspending a dead dragon fly from the ceiling by a piece of thread. Those who have tried it say that it has never been known to fail. Up to a certain point these multi tudmous ryes may be compared to windows fitted with innumerable panes of glass. The panes, however, are of dif fen ut forma Some, like those of the bee and the ant, are six sided, reminding us of tbe pattern so common in Gothic architecture. Some, again, are diamond shaped and others square. Another interesting branch of this in
teresting subject is the study of the near
and far sighted insects. Johanna Mul
ler long ago pointed out that tbe flight of insects depends upon their power of vision. This will account for the difference in the flights of the common house fly and tbe wasp. The one confines himself to short flights. As his food is always to be found within a small area, be flies in short corves and circles. But the wasp is remarkably sharp sighted, and tbe arrangement of the lenses shows that his line of vision ia decidedly forward. Here, again, the dragon fly is preeminent He has well been called the tyrant of the air. He alone is able to take perfectly straight lines at enormous peed for long distances, evidently seelug well what is ahead of him. New Orleans Times-Democrat

Summoned Hla Faithful Friend and Obtained Satisfaction. This dog story was told to a reporter by a lady who vouches for its accuracy. Remarkable as it is, she affirms that it is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth: An up the state family had two dogs --a bulldog and a black and tan be
tween wnicn mere existed every evi- m . deuce of deep friendship. The family ! lliey aiSO WUll yOUX
went intotne country one summer aBBM 16 nubs from home. They took the black and tan with them, but left his companion at home. They had not been established in their summer quarters more than a few days before the small dog had managed to pick a quarrel with a neighlsir's bulldog, in which the black and tan got nun Ii the worso of the argument, so much so that when he disappeared aft the battle his ow ners were much wo led. Thy searc hed high and low, but no trace of that small dog could be found. The next morning there was seen
coming up the road side by side the
black and tan and his faithful companion, the bulldog, from home. The two march d straight past the hotel where the family were staying and halted iu front of the homo of the black and tan's enemy. Iu some unknown maimer the country bulldog was summoned, and im
nudiately his city contemporary fell upon him. The struggle was severe and prolonged, but the issue was never in doubt. The country bnlldog was completely conquer d and retired in as good order as possible under the circumstances. The victor, once bis task completed, wheeled about and without a stop retracetl the 10 miles to home. The black and tan crawled into the hotel with every indication of complete satisfaction on his diminutive countenance. New York Mail and Express.
