THE FLY-A CHARACTER STUDY.
He Is as Grasping as a Billion Dol
lar Trust.

He Is as Grasping as a Billion Dol
lar Trust.
The common house fly is an agent Of
infection. But that is not his claim to
consideration here Albeit no bloodsucker,
he has every other piratical characters
tic. Like Macbeth, he murders sleep
with his droning, buzzing or crawling
Upon top of that he is inquisitive as
whole regiment of gossips, and as deter
mined to possess the earth and the full
ness thereof as the lustiest billion dollar
trust. In excuse or explanation of such
acquisitiveness he can plead his eyes.
They are like rubies, faceted several
thousand times, and forming a perfect
image through every one of the facets.
Thus Master Fly sees before, behind,
around himself at the same time. Natur-
ally it is confusing to the sense of pro-
perty and proportion, moral and material,
to be thus many visioned. These eyes,
out of all proportion to the insects size,
are further so mounted they can be push
ed a little out of socket, when occasion
arises. They are so big, indeed, and take
up so much of the head. one may well
wonder where a fly packs away his very
keen and decided sense of smell.
Flies are quickly drawn by scents i'm
perceptible to human nostrils. Still they
do not feed wholly by scent. Their feed
ing is throughout a curious process Of
ten involving something which looks like
reasoning power. If a fly lights upon
something moist and high favored he at
once begins to suck it. But if in crawl
ing or flying he finds something dry,
which he yet fancies, he stops stockstill
sets his bill down upon it. and forces
through the bill drop of liquid, some
thing like saliva. After a little, when
the liquid has moistened what it fell on
he begins feeding. 1t is the marks left
