Show The latest effort in the"swat-the-fly" ; compaign is an electric death trap j which although clever in conception and I design seems too expensive ever to come into more than very limited use. Tne idea was originated by two young Denver men. The apparatus stands on a 10 by 15-in. base and comprises com-prises an arrangement of wires 1-16 in. in diameter and in. apart. Electric currenc of 45J voles which ordinarily would require some auxiliary apparatus to obtain is turned on through these wires, and the flied are attracted within with-in the cage by a piece of meat or other suitable bait. The lamp ' inside serves I also to uraw the flies, the external lamps being employed to prevent damage from short-circuiting of the currtnt when the tiies are electrocuted. |
