frame down. and the lower one up till their
ordinary positions are reversed. Then put
in your screen and all flies which strike it
will Immediately walk out through the crew
ice between the two frames" As the philos-
ophy of this was not at first apparent to
the Journal scribe the following scienti-
nc explanation was given. In ordinary
windows the lower frame runs inside
of the upper one, SO that an insect walking
upa screen comes directly into the room
through the space left between the frames.
Now strange as it may seem, flies never
walk downward, SO if the position of the
frames be reversed, the fly on the outside
walks by the crack, while the one on the in
side of the screen walks up into it and goes
out of DOORS"

that this will be the only big tented exhibit
