|passage=A short time since, some friends drinking tea one summer evening at
their residence near Maidenhead, with all the windows of the drawing-room
open, there suddenly burst in a host of small flies, which covered the table
and the furniture; every one of these emitted a SPARKLET of light, pure and
intense like that of the glow-worm; and altogether they formed, for a few
minutes, a spectacle as beautiful, as we should imagine it to be, in the
British isles, uncommon.}}
