Tho Prolific House FIv,


Mr.. Frank Parker Stockridge in the
Worlds Work for April gives some
astonishing figures about the reproduc-
ton of flies.
In the climate of Washington twelve
generations Of flies are produced in a
single summer. AS one fly will lay 120
eggs the result if all these should
hatch and reproduce their kind In like
ration, would be appalling. The pro-
erosion carried out by raising 120 to
the twelfth power gives a total possible
progeny from single fly Of 1,096, 49,
249, 80, 720. 900, 900. 10000 And as each
female fly usually lays four patches Of
eggs their unchecked development
thru twelve generations would make a
mass OF flies that would measure $685.
77s,1e5.s61 cubic miles, or considerably
more than the total mass Of the earth.

Cunluins has had clearer conception
of the political situation the past year
tilen ealIii,sst Guy vti1k4, VI Ointment liia1,
Last summer, just prior to his starting
for Panama, he stated to your CORES
pondent substantially the following:
"A progressive republican will be
Nominated for president. President
Taft is not in the running at all If
Roosevelt wants the nomination he will
be the leading candidate before the

the field unless Roosevelt reaches the
conclusion that it is going 10 be a
democratic year anyway. Nothing we
can or will do IN Iowa Will affect the
situation as 1t relates to TAFT
The contemplated resolution to en-
dorse and instruct for Taft and to
condemn 1ov-as senator's and congress

Since the returns have been received
from other northern states It is the

stardpaS:e1s viii desert TAFT at the
Cedar Rapids convention.
The situation at Cedar Rapids will
be embarrassing Co any one who viii
undertake to picture the Taft vehicle
as a band wagon Illinois and Penn
syfva11da, two Of the states essential TO
republican success, have notified the
country they can not stand for Taft
again: New York mad Maine have re-
fused to tie up with him; Wisconsin
and North Dakota have spoken for La
Toilette Before the Iowa convention
meets Nebraska will decide for pro-
gressive principles Missouri is divided
and Minnesota Is sure to be for l-at'oI-
lette. For Iowa to make stand for
Taft amidst such surroundings would
indicate lack Of political sagaclty not
hitherto suspected In this state.
The news from Pennsylvania did not
cause great surprtse here. 1t had been
clearly foreshadUwed, and the fact that
the matter was to go to the voters at
a primary settled 1t that the reaction
ary program would not be endorsed.
But the news has had the effect OF
making the Taft contingent give up
talking politics for the present ana
to wait for further Developments.
Advantage With Prosressives-
The fact in regard to the republican
state convention is that while neither
side is sure Of control, the advantage is
slightly with the progressives. and TINS
advantage has not been weakened at
all by the action of Pennsylvania, 1lli-
nois and other states in regulating
Taft. The latest reckoning Of the rel
ative strength Of the two factions in
the state convention. by districts. with
revision in accordance With reliable in
