explanation for the simultaneous flashing OF
"A large swarm Of freflies, a rare but we'll
attested phenomenon, Is advanced by DR.. John BON
ner Buck of tbs geological Laboratory OF johns Hop
kins University Dr. Buck finds that old demon sex,

world to be the cause Of the phenomenon
REPORTS Of large SwarmS of fireheS all flashing

such widely scattered parts of the world as Siam and
the Philippine Islands we'll as from various parts
OF the United States. A great variety Of eXplana-
tionS have been offered for this synchronouS
flashing.
Dr. Buck finds that the explanation of the phe-
nomenon lies in the mating habits of the frefileS.
He says that the male FREELY flies about emitting
a single short flash about every 81 seconds. The
female remains in the grass and responds to the
male by flashing shortly after each Of his flashes He
finds that the female invariably flashes q seconds
after the fash o. the male.
DR. BUCK tells that he has verified this phe

trio haShght and flashing it exactly d seconds
after the flash of the male. Pretty he says the
light Is surrounded by five or 10 males all flashing
in unison.
His explanation Of how an entire swarm gets to
flashing IN unison is as follows: When one female
Is surrounded with such A group OF I'VE or 10. the
intensity of combined fash is sufficient to at

In support OF his theory Dr. Buck calls attention
to fact that the stronger the fashlght used in

has succeeded thus in attracting as many as 20 at

Tor many years it has been believed that rheu-
L matte infammations may be associated with
errors in diet.
Recently in one of the largest hospitals in Boston,
two doctors made study Of the diets Of Is persons
having chronic inflammation Of the joints.
Some Of these cases were found 70 be definitely
due TO infections. such gonoTrheal infections and
tuberculous infections The remainder we're carefully
studied as TO the influence on their conditions OF
changes in the diet. and they we're compared with
30 persons who did not have rheumatism.
The diets were studied particularly IN relationship
to the amount Of carbohydrates that taken and
also with relationship to the vitamins
ONE group Of physicians argued that chronic
~ rheumatic disease is usually associated with
taking excessive amount Of carbohydrates in rea
tionshp TO proteins. It has also been argued that
arthritis is associated with overeating and finally.
it has been claimed that it bears some relationship
to the vitamin and mineral content Of the food.
The Boston Investigators were unable to find that
a deficiency Of vitamin D had anything 70 do with
the chronic rheumatic iniammations In fact, the
lack Of rheumatic conditions in cases in which all
of the wtamins have been shown TO be deficient
might be used argument against the idea snat
a lack Of vitamns has anything 20 do with chronic
rheumatism
CTUDIEs also were made to determine whether
- lack Of calcium or other mineral salts was re-
sponsble yet the studies indicated that the mineral
content Of the diet does not to have any part
in the beginning Of chronic arthrits.
Moreover. 1t was found that SO per cent Of the
persons with chronic rheumatic conditions had had
Of calores in their diets for years, but at
the time 43 per cent of the persons who did not
have rheumatic conditions had an excess Of calories
in their diets
AS a result Of all Of these studies. the investi-
gators unable 10 find any direct relationship
between dietary factors and the development Of
chronic rheumatic conditions.
However. it should be realized that the patient
with chronic rheumatic condition requires all the
force that his body can master 70 overcome the dis
ease and that diet based on sound scientific prin-
cipes IS important factor in building up his gen.
