An important place in the list OF in.

An important place in the list Of in.
sect plaguers is occupied by the Hip.
pelates flies Of Florida, Alabama and
Texas. These minute gnats are close.
ly related to the we'll known flies that
propagate eye disease in Egypt. They
seek at all times to enter the eye, wish
ing to drink the moisture, and thus are
excessively annoying. But the worst
of it is they go from sick eyes to we'll
ones, and so carry infection. In some
districts they have created veritable
epidemics of the Egyptian "trachoma"
An eye complaint most distressing
and we'll nigh inourable. Also they
seek sores, ulcers, etc., and scatter
contaalon from them. There is no use
in trying to kill them, because they
are too numerous. Very little is
known of the life history of this pest,
but probably it breeds on the stems
reedy plants OF in decaying reeds
along the shores of lakes and marshes.
The United States, as is shown by
this new bulletin, enjoys greater va
riety of venomous flies than any other
country. Several thousand species
have been put on the Cover nment
black list.
