BUG Eats Smoke.

In recent informal discussion OF
smelling and its troubles. an expert
spoke Of the sulphur bug" an insect
which, according to his statement
thrives with plenty Of sulphur smoke,
and has remarkable knack OF getting
on the back Of the smelter's neck when
both his hands are occupied. Another
smelter said he had noted them In Cal
ifornia, where they had annoyed the
Shasta county operators. but had not
been known elsewhere in the state
until Shasta county ores were shipped
to San Francisco bay points, when
they had appeared there. Apparently
no entomologist has yet passed on

poor family, to whom they might give
Christmas dinner. The name, with ad-
dress, OF worthy family was fur
nished.

tomary Christmas benevolence were
then discussed. Many suggestions were
made for an Improvement of the work

II the flies just as vigorously as he
went after their breeding places
during the anti-dirt campaign of clean

's~atting' adult flies will only help.
He knows, also, that there is but one
way of preventing the breeding of
myriads of these little germ-bearing @
demons. That is the removal of tbe
places In which they deposit their eggs
but "swatting' is helpful. There

thereby prevent individual families of
