gots OF this species, ranging In size
from those just out Of the egg to half
grown or more. These flies are not
so obtrusive indoors and do not gen.
orally bother the person or get into
cooked food.
Larger yet, and comparatively more
rare, is the blue e-bottle," or blow
fly;" dull blue, stout, bristly species
which makes loud buzzing noise and
is more annoying from that cause
than from almost any other. The
larvae or maggots Of this species de-
velop chiefly in decaying animal mat
ter. A dead mouse will support a
dozen; dead rat will mature a large
brood
All these flies are actually scaven-
gers, hence they have function and
the best way to deal with them is TO
remove the cause for their existence.
Allow no decaying matter in or close
to the house, and keep all garbage
receptacles so tightly covered that
the flies cannot get at the contents to
lay eggs.
Flies do not like the dark, and will
fly out of small lighted opening, If
the remainder Of the room be dark
ened. They are attracted by food
odors. hence are most numerous in
kitchens and dining rooms. Give them
no chance TO get food and they will
not stay long, hence in parlors and
sittingrooms kept darkened and free
from food particles, flies are rarely
seen.
Besides these larger species which
may be kept out by care and screens,
there are often found, especially in
late summer and early fall, very small
flies, with bright red eyes. These are
the so-called "pommace flies," and
they are attracted to and develop in
fermenting fruit juices Of all kinds.

apple or pear. beginning to decay, az.

appearance of the material that at

AN INTERESTING
CHEMICAL EXPERIMENT
Any Child Can Do 1.-THE Result 10
Almost Like Mseie-useful, Too.

Anything in the nature OF a chem.
lcal experiment is always interesting
and usually educative. Here is sim
pie experiment which any child can
perform and which is instructive in a
very practical way: Get bit of White
Lead about the size OF a pea. a piece
of charcoal, a common candle in a
candlestick, and blow.pipe Scoop
out little hollow in the charcoal 10
hold the White Lead. then light tho
candle. take the charcoal and lead in
one hand and the blowplpe in the
other. with the large end OF the blow
pipe between the lips; blow the flame
of the candle steadily against the bit
of White Lead on the charcoal and IL
the White Lead is pure it will pres
entity resolve itself into little shining
Elobules of metallic lead. under the
intense heat Of the blow-pipe. leaving
no residue.
If, however, the White Lead is adul-
terated in the slightest degree. it will
not wholly change into lead So. it
will be seen, that this experiment is
not only an entertaining chemical
demonstration, but also of practical
use in the home. White Lead is the
most important ingredient Of paint.
II should be bought pure and unadul,
terated and mixed with pure linseed
oil That is the best paint. The
above easy experiment enables any
one to know whether the paint is the
kind which will wear or not.
The National Lead Company guar.
antee that white lead taken from n
package bearing their Dutch Boy
Painter trademark will prove abso-
lutely pure under the blow-pipe test;
and to encourage people to make the
test and prove the purity of paint be-
fore using It. they will send free q
blow-pipe and a valuable booklet on
paint to anyone writing them asking

much better If it were plowed up and
