Flies come to ships riewiy arrived in port across considerable stretch - 63 of water. This ,,ve know, because few hours ea,rlier there were no ties on the ship, No communica- tion has been had with land. The flies must have come on their own wings. Occasionally wo see a fly follow a team or animal, easily keeping up a. good pace. The wing muscles of a fly when weighed are found heavier in proportion than those of any bird so far examined. It is difficult to tire a fly out. Test this by trying to keep one constant- ly on the wing in a room, and you will soon find you have no easy task. All this shows the fly to be no mean navigator of the air. "Most, of our diseases are caused by invisible germs. These germs may be brought to tis froni sick persons by whatever is la,rge„enough to carry them and has the opportu- nity. Combine this fact with what everyone knows about flies, and we see at once the tremendous import- ance of flies as carriers of human disease germs. "The result of this simple piece of reasoning is so startling that it is often side-tracked be its own im- rtance. It looks so incredible , Leat we hesitate, distributing our own logic. It seems incredible that men have gone on doing as they have done, and as they are still doing, if the facts are as they seem. The consequences of our reasoning seem so tremendous we fear there must have been a mistake some- where. And so we dismiss the idea. "One way to disturh, this false security is to interest people in the habits and Structure Of 'flies. The more we knOw.., about flies the more clear it will ,become that they are among our, worst enemies.

To stieli ineonnenienees the fly ie constantly subject, and • is this that has bred in him a habit ef frequeutly preening himself, par- ticularly his feet. These are C013• stantly becoming clogged with ad- hering substances, and this contom- ina.tion the fly must 4ssidvo-utly re- move if his feet are to act properly in supporting him on slippery plae- es. If this contamination is too sticky to rub off the fly it laps it off. and it then passes off in his ex- creta.Thus it is that all surts microscopic particles are moved from place to place on thc feet of flies. These particles are rarely of sufficient size to be 3een with the unaided eye. Nevertheless, they are constantly' pvesent, and the amount of matter thus transferred is relatively considtrable on account of the fly's activity. When flies have access to diseased or rotten or foul matter, the transfers thus effected are dangerous. All sorts of minute organisms are spread in this way, including diseases of man, annuals, and plants. It is impos- sible to go into details in this place, but it is only right to say that the imagination completely fails to grasp the far-reaching consequnec- es of this transfer of germs and spores on the feet of flies."—Mr. N. A. Cobb in "Natural Geogra- phical 7gagazine." KAISER SURPRISED. Everywhere Ile is Acclaimed in the Friendliest Manner. , A despatch from.
