Millions Of insects Swarm About
Arc Lights Here Every Night
- 10 Becoming
Nuisance.
OTHER CITIES AFFECTED
Fort Madison Has to Turn Off Street

catine.

That wonderfully prolific insect
known as the Mormon fly and which
reproduces its kind so fast that a
lightning calculator lean not keep
tab on its progeny has been much
in evidence in Keokuk of late and
more particularly during the last
few nights. There seemed to be tens
of thousands of these insects which
fluttered around the electric lights
and came to an early death. A single
Mormon fly is not much of nuisance
but when one encounters million OF
them it Is time to pause, hesitate and
consider the situation. There Is one
comforting circums lance about their
existence and that is their span OF
life is exceedingly limited. But
while they live they are a veritable
pest.
Cities all along the river are
being bothered by this pest. The
Mormon flies are especially trouble
some at Fort Madison and the mayor
there ordered all street lights in the
city turned off at 10 O'Clock Monday
night in an effort to overcome the in
vasion, for the flies are always to be
found around the lights.
1t was once believed that the Nor
mon fly was common to this locality
but the pest seems to- be scattered
all along the river. Even as far up
as Muscatine the flies are thick.
Steamboats, at night are especially
bothered with the insects and all city
lights are an attraction to them.
Several years ago, the Mormon flies
were an even greater nuisance here
than this year and every morning
under certain arc lights as many as
a bushel or more of dead insects were
to be found after they had beaten out
their earthly existence on the arcs.
Connected with this there Is an
amusing story. Certain persons IN
the town made practice to gather up
the dead flies in clothes baskets and
feed them to the chickens.
