Q holiday exclusion compared to the war
on the fly.
II will be remembered no doubt, that
In recent years the Agricultural depart
ment has made a speciality Of studying the
diseases distributed by insects, the mos
quito being put under the ban some time
ago. Summer tourists in Jersey allege
that they are troubled fully as much as
OF yore, but the government experts ask
only a little more time; they hope, event
ually to be able to reduce the lnroads of
the mosquito to sporadic outbursts. And
the Investigations have resulted in more
good than a partial determination of the
insects. They have taught people some
thing about the various diseases trans
mitted by these minute pests, and have in
culcated the necessity OF caution as a
means Of preventing the spread Of yellow
fever. malaria and similar diseases.
Now, the division OF Entomology, which
has had charge of all the campaigns against
insect pests, will turn its attention to the
flies. Literature has been prepared and
methods OF determination have been de-
Iyised under the supervision of DR.. o. L.
Howard. the chief of the division. Already
thousands of pamphlets have been put into
the hands of health boards and farmers

been urged Of having better sanitarium IN
the rural districts. Chemistry has been in
voked, and as a result OF various expert
ments 1t is thought that the number OF
flies will be rapidly and enormously les
sened during the present summer.
The literature sent out by the govern
ment will give to the people some in
formation concerning flies that hitherto
has been In the possession Of the scientist
almost exclusively. 1t will dispel the illu-
sion that the common househy bites, but
It will also call attention to the fact that
this insect, the "Musca Domestica." is a
dangerous creature. even II he annot give
human beings those tantalizing little nips
with which he has been credited. DR.. How

and the campaign he is preparing to wage:

number of house flies in the whole neigh
borhood has been lessened to a remarkable
extent.
How do we propose to make wal on
these pests? That is simple enough. The
division Of entomology will send out litera-
ture, Of which a vast amount is being pub
lished, to health boards and committees and
individuals all over the United States, d.
recting them as to the means and materials
to be used in killing off flies and employ
Ing preventive measures for the spread
and transmission Of disease germs by these
insects. While this is being done expert
ments will be conducted by the government
experts to discover more efficient methods
for carrying on the campaign. Our first
efforts will be to urge upon the people the
necessity of care. determination, as far as
possible, will come later"

say In a word that 1t is the most wonderful

scientists say, and beautiful as we'll as
wonderful beyond any word description.
Go and see 1t. That's all I can say. All
anyone can cay, It's worth a trip across
the continent to see. It is tiresome, OF
course. but not dificult and is amply COM
pensating. Guide stabbler told us 100 miles

rooms explored and there is as yet
nothing known of the extent OF the cave.
