TAKING A FLY CENSUS.
Insects and Typhoid Cases Counted by
Scientists.

A %house-1y censu is being taken in
Washington and Pittsburg by the bu.
reau of entomology of the department
of agricultural and the marine hos.
pital service, with a view to gaining
further evidence as to whether flies
carry germs of typhoid.
Investigations heretofore made ap-
pear to show that wherever the fly
population is large the number of
typhoid cases is also large.
1t is assumed that the relative
density of fly population in given dis
tricts can be ascertained by the dis
tribution of an unvarying number of
sheets of fly paper always put in the
same places.
These sheets are taken to the bu-
reau of entomology and counted and
the total is entered on the record of
each fly catching station.
At the end of the season the Stats
tics showing the distribution of typhoid
fever cases will be compared with the
total of flies caught in that district.
If the largest number of cases of ty-
phoid are found to. have occurred in
the districts showing the largest rela-
tive number of flies the theory that
flies distribute typhoid germs will have
been confirmed.-N. Y. World.
