Holm Ha5berton states with the sol

gon flies and will not come within
wards OF them. He says that one or
two dried dragon Aies suspended from
line silk under the roof Of an open
porch infested by mosquitoes wlllsc
all OF the little pests away. and .hcy
will rot come back while the dragon
files are there. This. he says, nc has
tried with surprising results. 1t Is q
well-known fac, that dragon flies are

that they sUbsist largely upon gnats'
