Mr.. Murray, in letter from Denver to
Prof. Baird, describes what he saw under the
shade of some willows skirting shallow
place in creek. A small swarm of mosqui-
toes was circling over the water, where some
fresh Matched mountain trout were readily
dlscernibe. Every few minutes the baby
trout would rise to the surface of the water
and remain there an instant, with the tip of
the head exposed. a mosquito would at once
alight upon the shining spot and transhx the
trout by inserting it, proboscis, or bill, into
the brain of the fish. which apparently was
completely para yzed and unable to escape.
The prosecutor would not relax his grip, but
holding its victim as in a wise would extract
all the vital juices from the trOut's body.
When this was done the dead trout would
turn over on its back and float down the
stream. The observer witnessed the murder
OF 20 trout under the willows in the course of
half an hour by these Western mosquitoes,
each victim being sucked dry in his liieless

heretofore been kept in the background
by the shrewd manipulations of the
politicians, propose to consolidate the
farmers of that State into political
order, which is intended to control all

OF the events of the past few years, the
movement is not a promising one. Farm
