PARIS. February 24.-Her age at
the time of death was only six
months. yet she had laid more than
100 eggs each week in spite of the
fact that females of her species do
not thrive in captivity. 1t has been
calculated that within the space of
her lifetime she has given birth to
generations comprising four thou
sand trillion individuals.

dent. What a curse it would be

such a creature should hatch out

laboratory to make inquiries about

seems, Achille Roubaud, professor
of entomology and well known for
his books on mosquitoes. became
convinced that the world did not
know enough about the domestic
habits Of flies. Only intensive
study. he believed, could reveal the
part they played in the propaga-
ton of disease.
Prof. Roubaud explained his plan
to the authorities of the Pasteur
Institute. They approved 1t. He
deliberately set out to tame flies
as a new species of animals for
the benefit of mankind. Impor-
tant discoveries have now besn
made. 1t has been proved that files
live longer and reproduce more
abundantly than was once suppos-
ed. They drink large quantities Of

THE LONELY PLACES

God made the lonely places,
The high hills and the sky
That we might feel His presence
And know Him to be nigh.
God made the lonely places,
The mountains great and grand,
THAT we might see in every one
The workings of His hand.
God made the lonely places,
Where only winds sweep py
That we might hear His voice in them
And in our hearts reply.
God made the lonely places,
The silence and the night,
That we might hear His whispering
And e'er be guided right.
God made the lonely places,
In life, I think that we
Might be still closer drawn to Him
In tweet humility.
