To offset the failure of the ice

crop, which many predict as a re-
suit Of the abormalIy mild winter,
a bumper crop of housefies is
promised by Edward Hatch, Jr.,
chairman of the fly fighting COM
mittee of the American Civic AS
ISOLATION.
II have never seen so many
flies activein midwinter," said Mr..
Hatch, ''as l have seen this season.
In ordinary winters most flies
which survive the first cold snap
hide themselves in cracks, crew.
ces and other sheltered places and
pass the season in a torpid state.
This year, however, there has
been no cold weather which conld
kill all the flies or even cause the
hardest of them to suspend their
activities. The result has been
that the laying of eggs has gone
on as it might have done in cool
summer, and that a number of ex-
ira generations have come into
existence in the last few months. "

summer months in the North.
Urgent business matters prevent
ed him from coming early this
season, but he was daily expected
when message to Mrs. Ellen
Brown announced his sudden
death. OF English parentage,
Captain Lawrence was reared in
Chicago, and entered service as
Seargent of the 9Th Illinois N. L.
Engineers. He was discharged
as Captain of Company F, 1st N.
L. Engineers, in 1855, being twice
wounded. His remains we're bur-
led in Arlington Cemetary, Wash
ington, with Grand Army honors.
In addition to being a scholarly
gentleman, intensely admired by
all fortunate enough to be num-
bered among his personal friends,
Captain Lawrence was an invent
i've genius and at the time of his
death was planning to have manu-
featured and placed on the mar
ket several important devices he
had lately perfected.
