se«ond match of the Ishuid's second eleven trip to Fbua- 



Buos jVkounh the Sen. — Our lurid contemporary, the 

 daily Sim, has an electric light in front of its office which 

 throws its own natural effulgence quite in the shade. 

 One of its effects is to attract myriads of bugs and bee- 

 tles into the editorial rooms and. printing office. They 

 swarm all over the desks, galleys, cases, and forms to 

 such an extent as to interrupt work. The foreman and 

 his assistant are kept constantly busy mashing them with 

 mallets, while the office boy is combing them out of the 

 night editor's hair. One day last week the paper was 

 delayed several minutes in getting to press. Every 

 handful of type had a crust of bugs on it which had 

 to be brushed off before it was lifted, and the stones 

 had to be brushed again before the type could be set 

 down. When the forms came to be sent to the press- 

 room below, the leaves of the enclosing box were clapp- 

 ed together as quickly as possible; notwitbetazi ' 

 this pains, when the box was opened below the fore- 

 man discovered 451 bugs and beetles, of which 487 were 

 coleoptera, and seventeen of them entirely new species. 

 He immediately notified Professor Holden, of the Park 

 Museum, by telephone, and sent a special messenger to 

 Professor Edison to -devise means to abate the plague. 



Hereafter, when we see spots on the Sun we should 

 know they are bugs,
