SWEET PEAS KILL FLIES.
Druggist Makes Discovery Of Value
to the World.

druggist makes a discovery OF value
to the World.
A local druggist has found a new
agent for the destruction OF flies that
for activity and effectiveness discounts
anything heretofore offered for that
purpose. And not only is 1t harmless,
but it is a thing of beauty as WELL
After selling annually thousands OF
sheets Of fly paper of the sticky and
poisoned varieties and ton more or
less of insect powder. the new anti.
dote for the pest bids fair to super
sede all previous methods with him
and those of his friends who are In on
the secret.
For several days the druggist, who
is lover Of flowers. has had upon
his front cases lunches Of sweet peas
of variety grown originally in Cali.
this section Of the country. Each
morning after opening up the store he
has found collected around the base
of the vessel containing the peas quite
an accumulation OF dead flies.
For the first day or SO he regarded
the mass Of defunct dipterous insects
as an accidental gathering in the
neighborhood Of the flowers. but curl.
osity prompted him later to watch tho
conduct Of the few flies left In the
store. It was observed when the peas
were freshly picked that Immediately
after their being placed in the vases
those flies In the vicinity swarmed
upon the petals and proceeded to
faster themselves there. Shortly aft.
erward they fell from their positions.
dead.
It is presumed that the odor Of the
peas attracted them frst and that aft.
erward they absorbed some poisonous
exudation that the flowers possess and
died IN consequence. So far ns known
the peas possess no toxic effect upon
the human being.-Springnel Journal

Laying Dust With OIL.

OIL is being used by the Southern
Pacific railroad in Arizona to lay the
dust. The roadbed has been oiled for
a distance of forty-two miles on the
Tucson division and the company in

annoyance to travellers on the South

how to remedy this difficulty. but
without success until the oil Idea was
