THE LIFE OF THE FLY

THE LIFE OF THE FLY
By Jean Henri Fabre-Dodd, Mead
& company.
Fabre is probably the greatest ma
turalist that ever lived. His unus
ual powers of observation, his keen
insight, his ability to understand the
most intricate processes of the in
sects' life have marked him out. He
has little respect for the scalpel, mi
cropsccpe, and other means of study
ing the parts of a dead insect, choos-
ing rather to seek its haunts, to
watch and ponder on the secrets Of
its life. He is never content with mere
plausible theories, he must know,
tho it mean the most CALLING difficult
ties to find out.
"The Life of the Fly" is a story
of the various scavenger flies, the
blubottle, greenbottle, grey flesh
flies, and others. The book is inter-
spersed with some bits Of very in
teresting and entertaining biography
of the boys early life in the rustic
atmosphere of rural France, where his
first play was to collect and mar
vel at the things of nature he saw
around him. 1t tells of his early
schooling, of his school and school,
master, who left the boys to thei,
w devices to learn as best they
might, in sharp contrast with the
modern school,. 1t tells of his later
education, of how he learned by
teaching, and through it all, of his
stubborn, %unceasing struggle for
knowledge. In all his hardships and
trials, he never lost his passion for
nature, especially living creatures. II
was the dominant force of his life.
In the story of the flies, Fabre
pictures the life Sc the parasitic fly
whose grubs feed on the larvae 81
certain other insects. He tells how
the parents of some deposit Their
eggs in the cocoon of the victim
where the young have nothing tc
but fatten on the helpless, still liv.
ing victim. Others are unable te
place their eggs in the cells Of their
particular kind of victim, it remains
for the larvae to enter themselves
for they have been constructed pur-
posely for the task.
Most of the book is devoted to
the story of the flesh-flies, bluebottles
and green-bottles. He obtained bats
for the flys, and when the female
, flys came to lay, he was to study
the life of the flies in every detail
He discovered where the females
lay their eggs, how the larvae dis.
solve the food before swallowing it
how they breathe, the things which
we can hardly believe about the ma
got, which most of us regard with

horror. He tells about the scaveneer
IN the wasp's nest which the wasps
recognize and welcome as their
housecleaner. Few would realize the
complexities and the fascinating ac-
tlvities of the insect world unless
they read the book. I found it one
OF the most interesting books I have
read.

Stories Getting Better.

GRATIFYING evidence OF the prog.

the recent trend Of screen story mate
rial toward character studies by Cecil

unless the hero and heroine were para

consequence, the movies obtained a
reputation for shallowneSs and unreal
ity II required some time for Scena-
ristS To realize that the emotions Of in-
telligent people could not be stirred with
such characters on the screen. Blu,
when authors began to create for pic
lures characters combining good and
bad In proportions found In life. there
was an immediate response from the
ater-guers,
when n person In the audience can
visualize himself In the situations pre-
scented on the screen. his interest Is
held, and his emotions respond. The
ater patrons lacked the egotism 10 place
themselves in the positions Of tho al
ways-upright heroes formerly presented
In pictures. and refused to consider
themselves as vicious as the early VIII
lainS Of the screen.
Perhaps the outstanding example
during the past year Of u, successful
character study Is Seventh Heaven II,
