MYSTERY OF "NEXT
YEARS" FILE

No matter how long the winter
lasts, the chrysalis of the fly is safe.
When the warm spring weather
comes, the fly inside the chrysalis
goes on growing again. At the right
moment it bursts open it's brown
horny case, and comes out like n
chicken from its shell. All that It
has to do is to dry its wings; then
1t can fly away full grown.
Flies reach their full size before
coming out of their shell-Iike cover
ing. When you see small flies and
big flles together, YOU must not think
that the little ones are young and
the Dig ones old. They are q diff
ferent sort of flies, but full grown.
They reach full size before they are
released from the cradle in which
they have passed the winter. If is
because most of the old ones are
dead, and the young ones still in
thelr eggs, that we seldom see flies
in winter.
The common housefly when II
wakes in the spring lays over n
hundred eggs, which hatch in a dav
or two as maggots. These grow
rapidly, become pupae and within
two weeks from the eggs are full
grown flies, ready to lay eggs them
selves. You can see how many bill
lion flies there would be if none were
destroyed and all the eggs hatchei 4
and grew into flies. The housefly
usually lays its eggs in filth. and If
we keep our premises clean, we shall
have fewer flies.-Seattle Post-In-
telligencer.

The work belongs to the last and best
period of Corot, when he painted in
the broadest tones and produced
works that are misty and my5teri-
