our enthusiastic mathematician has
not yet laid down his pencil. The fly,
he continues, will lay many score
patches of 100 eggs at a time during
the season; and the total score must
be multiplied by those scores; the
resultant figures he mercifully keeps
to himself. So the season begins
with many billions of flies; and the
total must be multiplied by those
billions. Wherefore the total num-
Der of flies that might conceivably be
Matched in season would exceed the
size of the whole earth in bulk; this
catastrophe is fortunately prevented
by numerous causes, especially that
equilibriating factor in evolution, the
avidity with which sentient things

The fly comes into the world full

species than the common house fly;
and Immediately he starts to make
a living" A celebrated author has
written of the fly that does not wipe
his feet; but the house fly does wipe
his feet. One may at any time see
him doing this; he alights, for ex-
ample, on lump of sugar. In the
way perfectly familiar to everybody
he carefully goes through his toilet.
Each pair of his six legs are in turn
cOnscientiously and vigorously rub
bed upon and about one another;
then he messages his abdomen. By
this means he manages to Scrape off
and deposit upon the sugar a con-
siderable portion of the hundred
thousand or so germs which ESQ one
mathema tical friend computes) he
has collected upon. his body, his legs
and the remainder Of his person. But
the trouble only begins here; for it
has been scientifically demonstrated
that the fly also ingests bacteria;
anywhere from 100000 to $780,
600 germs have been found in the
digestive tract of the fly. Consider
then how virulent a factor becomes
the fly speck; how only few bac-
terra containing tubercle bacilli, for
eXample) from such a speck may
within a few hours develop into colo
MES of many million germs.
But space (if nothing else) for

find it important, however, to note
that science has demonstrated be-

of the opinions one hears expressed
on public matters. How many people,
for instance rage against Cannon and
Aldrich and Payne, and exult at Uncle
Joe's downfall, who could not name
any specific thing that any of these
three men have done.
In a general way, they think of
these senators as having too much con-

and railroads, but ask for a specific
instance of just how these men have
betrayed their country's trust, and 1
doubt if three out of five of the crit

EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON.

1 wonder If it's an American trick
to talk and judge of things of which
one knows particularly nothing, at
first hand, or just a human habit
as wide as the world.
For it may be both. but it's GER
tainly the first.
We were talking of Oscar Wilde the
other day. A young college graduate
was of the group. She appeared pain
fully shocked. How can you like his
poetry? I think it's dreadful" she
said
We asked what she had read of him.
She tried to mention something,
stammered a bit, mentioned a poem
which was really written by Swim
burne, and finally acknowledged that
she couldn't really remember what she
had read just that moment.
"But 1 always heard that he was a
very immoral man, and that his po-
etry was very improper" she conclud-
ed, virtuously.
Isn't that quite typical case of this
tendency to talk without any basis of
personal knowledge?
In much the same way how many
people make fun of Ibsen and Brown
ing. and tell how involved and unin-
teresting and unnecessarily abstruse
their books are. when they-the crit
| ics-have never really sat down for
half an hour and read the writers
they are judging.
It's often the same way with public
affairs. 1t seems to me that vague

A student at Purdue University
writes home that for the first time in
thirteen years, the freshmen of the
school won in the annual tank fight
with the sophomores. The first class
men outnumbered the others two to
one, and after short fight. the soph-
ignores were all securely strung into
a chain gang, tossed in blankets,
obliged to do esthetic dancing before
the camp fire, and made the objects
of the accumulated revenge Of many
seasons The upper classman watched
the performance with the relish man
naturally feels when the und er-dog
gets to the top, for the first time in
thirteen years He sent home an &C
count of the fight, along with a poster
that is having a run of popularity
among the students. Those boys have

seldom allow out of their possession
There are no co-eds in the school, and
