near them. Taking advantage of this

Prof. s. H. Gage invented the follow
ing ingenious plan. He had the janitor
put ON q pair Of rubber boots, and then
tied sheets of fly paper, with the sticky
side outward, around the legs Of the
boots. The janitor was then to patrol
the lower floor for several hours day.
The result was gratifying and rather
surprising. The sheets of fly paper
soon became black with fieas and had
to be changed ut intervals, but by this
means the building was almost com.
