EXECUTING AN INJURED FLY.
How n Quartet or Insects Put n Half
Burned Brother to Death.

How n Quartet OF Insects Put n Half
Burned Brother to Death.
Flies are not usually accredited with
great intelig nee, but an illustration
observed a short time ago goes far to
disprove any idea that they are en-
tirely bereft Of thought. 1t was near
midnight anu a writer for the Phila-
delphia Call laid aside his pen for the
day, but was constrained to remain at
his desk by the strange action Of a
quartet OF flies. One unfortunate buzz
ger had flown too near the gaslight
and had been so badly singed that he
could not fly. Quite helpless, he lay
on his back struggling to overturn
himself He almost succeeded, but so
painful were his efforts that mercy
suggested the speedy killing of the in
sect. But the manifest agitation of
the four unusually large flies prevented
q hasty execution. In great excite
ment the quartet circled around the
unfortunate, remaining within a radius
of twelve Inches. One pair seemed to
touch heads, and in an instant one of
the two went savagely for the wounded
brother. After coutending with him
for brief time the first helper left,
when, without lapse OF many seconds,
the second of the pair went through
the same performance. Here was o
puzzle that required close study to
solve. Were the flies striving to aid
the sufferer, or did they want to kill
him, either because of his uselesSness
or to relieve him from pain?
! seventeen times were combustion
such they soon appeared to be-had.
The fly, lying on his back, fought and
apparently sought TO keep off the big
insects. As near as the eye could de-
teemine, they seemed TO strive to reach
tho neck az the sufferer. There wa.
u short sharp fight each time A few
grains OF sugar were placed on the
desk, but the fighters were too greatly
absorbed 10 notice them. More pow
'wows ensued, and three attacks fol
lowed. Then the four were frightened
by an attempt to catch them. One fly
not OF the quartet, was captured anC
placed under a glass with the wingles

flew around wildly, not going near the
burned fellow. The glass was removed
and in the course of tsn minutes foul
flies were again on tho scene, trying
