Bed-bugs had the time of their lives on Tuesday, when

they were lectured about at the Royal Sanitary Institute. A peer presided over them, another peer urged the need for an intensive study of them, Professors and Medical Officers of Health and officials of fumigation companies discussed them. A film of bed-bugs at their meals was exhibited, and a collection of the industrious insects, alive and active, was on show. No fallentis semita vitae for the bed-bug. •lows.
