appeared before the students only to demonstrate
what well directed application could accomplish
lie began by asking that hundred figures be
placed In row making great sum. Then he

a ton of dead files was the strange cargo a vas
sci from Brazil recently unoaded at tho London
docks. Dead flies are admirable food for chickens
birds In captivity and captive fab. But thar,
being no files to speak of in England those In
search OF this delicacy for such use have 70
send to Brazil where there are flies on every
thing. The river Amazon swarms with them and
Brazilans float down the stream in boats and
scoop In millions OF the es which circle in denss
clouds just above the waters edge. When ths
haul Is big enough the flies are shpued abroad
Two years ago the Brazilian government STONED
this expectation. being afraid that TIM fish I'm the
rivers would suffer by being deprived OF this fy
food. But the prohibition has now been removed
Formerly dead files sold at 10 cents a pound but
tho demand has become great and the supply
SO lessened that 80 cents pound Is now charged
