The oldest surviving industry on the
American continent is in imminent dan
ger Of extinction. and the fly catcher OF
Lake Texcoco, Mexico, will be forced to
turn his hand to some more modern and
lucrative calling. Lake Texcoco is rapid
ly receding. and the fly, which for ages
has been the food OF Gagged birds and
poultry, is vanishing from its chosen
haunt
Even in the days Of the Aztecs. Lake
TexcOco was famous for its fly re-
sources, and tons Of the insects were
caught annually TO be used as poultry
food In more recent years the product
became even an article OF export. large
poultry raisers in Germany and this
country looking upon the flies from Tex
coco as choice tidbit for fancy stock.
Flies Pickle Themselves.
Lake Texcoco flies practically pickle
themselves. The insect has the habit Of
swarming close to the surface OF the wa
ter and is caught with a large net re-
quiring considerable dexterity in handling
As soon as the catcher has spread the
net over the flies he plunges it into the
water for the purpose Of drowning the
flies and curing them.
, Owing 10 the alkaline matter in the
water picSling is completed almost In
stantly,. The insects are then spread over
large sheets and dried in the sun. After
this they are packed in sacks ready for
shipment II is claimed that as food
for Gagged birds Of all kinds and young
fancy poultry, they are unexceIed.
Tho 1y-catching industry Of Lake Tex
COCO is the subject OF the first commercial
treaty made in North America, and at
the same time was for many centuries
monopoly which was granted distin-
guished Aztec warriors by their sover-
eigns. Netzahualcoyotl, emperor OF the
Aztecs. signed a treaty with the Casique
Chimalpopoca Of Tenochtitlan. IN whose
territory the lake then lay. by which a
number Of Tencan Aztecs were permitted
10 catch flies on the lake in order that
the sacred quetzals Of the Great TeocaIn
Of Mexico City might enjoy this delicious
food. The industry was the subject also
OF other treaties.

For many years business has been grad
ualy creeping out Fourteenth street. IN
II il IS now one Of the principal mer-
camille thoroughfares OF the city. Not
that It has large department stores. or
that the houses established there are the
biggest in their line. but small places OF
business have been multiplied until il Is
the home Of the baker and small trader,
and possibly more lines OF profitable re-
tail trade are represented in Fourteenth
street than in any other thoroughfare OF
Washington.
Just as retail trade has been gathering
IN the street for many years, il has
shown a tendency TO centralize at GER
tain points One Of these is az Four
teenth and streets. where the junction
Of the two lines Of the Capital Traction
Company are laid down. This point. IN
der existing conditions. is the crossing
OF the ways. and il IS natural that It
should become one Of the features Of
this great business street.
Two Banks shield Money.
On opposite corners Of L street stand
two Of the savings banks OF the city,
the United States and the Fourteenth
Street beth Of which have met with a
eo0J degree Of success. The banks are
not only a convenience TO the business

Intervening Spaces Easy.
When these controlling streets have

worry about filing in the spaces between.
Whether IL would be advantageous 20
have the intervening spaces treated in a
uniform manner is questionable. Here
where the topography suggests Il a ser
pentine system of streets may be laid
out; there a generous depth Of lots. with
space for gardens may be provided: here
again we may find a group OF narrower
streets compactly built up with secluded
courts and small houses fronting upon
a little plot Of grass.
