DO Mics Talk y

An ingenious inquirer. armed with
Il micrOphOne. or sound magnificr has
been listening patiently through long
hours Ia the curious noises made by
house flies. and reports his belief that
they have Il language of their own.
The language does not consist of the
biiZZing sound we ordinarily hear.
which is made by the rapid vibration
of their wings in the air. but of Il
smaller, finer and more widely modu-
lated series of sounds. audible To the
human ear only by the aid of the mi
crophOne.
Probably. this fly conversation is per
fectly audible To the fly ears which.
AZ every schoolboy knows who has
tried to move his hand slowly upon
them. are very acute.
The hope is expressed that, since the
heretofore iniudible whispers Of ;lies
have been detected and recorded. some
inventor may construct Il microphone
which will enable us to make out the
language of the microbes, and SO sur
prise them in the horrible secret OF
their mode of operation.
