Subject: 96'th update on fly longevity experiments

    This is the 96'th update of my fly longevity experiments. Average
temperature was 21.1 C during this run. Estimated maximal longevity using
the formula (363 - T*11.2) is 127 days.
    Here Food Club dyes are tested. Not much of interest this time, except
for possibly the yellow dye. This appeared to exert a transitory benefit.
However this also might be due to chance.
