AMUSEMENTS.
THOMPSON-PAYNE PICTURES. The Thompson-Payne Pictures still jog merrily along at the Foresters' Hall nightly, and are receiving their share of patronage. The present programme is a first-class one and weil worth seeing. On Thursday night a special programme will be produced, when some extra fine films will be shown. "The Fly Pest" is, for instance, a marvel of microscopic photography. Considerable attention has recently been directed to the fact that the common house fly, and allied insects are of immense economic importance. They resort, for their own ends, to accumulations of filthy and diseased matter, invade our houses, alight on our meat, fruit and vegetables, and carry infection wherever they go. This wonderful picture will show blow flies laying eggs in putrid meat, eggs attacked by the Tschaeumon fly, the hatching, maggots in various stages, pupae, the - fly, wingless, emerging from the earth, full grown, taking syrup from a neeedle point, tongue and foot of the fly, greatly magnified, how flies carry contagion and numerous other illustrations.
