Strange Cargo From the Amazon.

One of the strangest cargoes ves-
sci could possibly have was unloaded at
the London docks toward the close of
March, says the Scientific American. 1t
consisted OF several sacks filled with
dried flies, consigned to large firm of
grain merchant.
These flies, originating in Brazil. have
been purchased for use in the manufac-
ture OF food for chickens, cage birds
and the like. They were caught on the
river Amazon by Brazllians, who travel
up the river in flat-bottomed boats and
who are provided with gauzc nets, with
which they capture these insects in
millions, as flies hover in dense clouds
over many of the swampy reaches of
the Amazon.
The flies thus caught are killed,
dried in the sun, and then placed in
sacks. Upon arrival in London they
are mixed with millet and other grain
and are sold as chicken food, etc. Some
time ago the Brazilian government
fearing that the fish in the Amazon
river would be starved, forbade the eN-
portation of flies; hence the price OF
this strange commodity, which used to
be cd per pound, has now risen to Is
Cd per pound, and often little more.
