THE MOSQUITOES FOE.
Wonderful Construction and Benefcent
Appetite of the Dragon Fly.

From the New \ ofk sum-
The recent presence in this city, par
ticularly in the upper parts of town
and on the East Side, of dragon flies
in large numbers and of different va
rieties was due, according to a natural
list, to the long continued drought in
the country, which caused the bOgland
and borders of the streams and ponds
to become dry, thus interfering with
the production of later aquatic insect
life, or compelling it to seek localities
where more moisture was to be found.
Just before the coming to town of
the dragon flies the newspapers noted
that mosquitoes had appeared in I'M
usual numbers. On the trail of the
mosquitoes came the dragon flies.
cit is remarkable that all three of
the dragon fly varieties should have
been represented by large delegations
in various parts of the city," said the
naturalist, 1.-the big brown fly, the fly
with wings striped like a zebra, and
the delicate little green fly with trans
parent body and gossamer wings. The
big brown dragon fly is no infrequent
visitor to the highways and byways of
New York, but the two others have
rarely been known to leave their ma
tive waters to display their eccentrici-
ties in the town.
The mission of the dragon iy is to
devour mosquitoes and other noxious
or annoying insects. The dragon fly is
born in the water and developed in the
air, and instantly takes wing in pur-
suit of its prey.
''The eve of the dragon fly, with
its $4,000 polished and strongly magni-
flying lenses. can see ahead, behind. on
each side, above or below all at the
same instant. and the power of flight
of the insect is so marvellous that if
objects OF prey loom up ahead, behind,
on each side, above and below not one

side and then to the other, drop and

and gather in whatever is within its
vision.
The speed of the dragon fly has been
computed at the rate of $50 miles an
hour, vet the big insect viii come to
