PLAGUE OF FLIES HERE
Air Is Filed With Tiny Insects Which
 Bother Pedestrians said tn Re Kind of Chat.

New Britain entomologists are puzzled today to account for q swarm
 of millions of strange flies which liter ally filled the air, as well as the eyes, ears and noses of pedestrians. Local exnerts seem to he at a loss to place them. and books in the library have been consulted with little or no sue cess.
 The flies are about half the size of an ordinary house fly. are of light green color with white wings twice as long as their body. The wings move so rapidly they give the appear ance of thistledown flying about in the air.
 While no serious importance is at tached to the flies beyond the fact that they bothered people on the streets considerably. it has been learned that they have a bite which closely resembles that of tine mosquito. It is though they are a form of plant fly which was stirred up last evening by the storms
 One man who is an expert on bugs says they are a kind of gnat and are of malaria fever. He says they breed in the swamps. Witch hazel, lime water or baking soda ap- piled externally are said to be good for the bites.
