FACTS CONCERNING THE MUsoUITo.

More troublesome in This Country Than
Elsewhere-In London Hotel.
The warmer or the more sultry the
wea.her the greater is the musquito's
thirst for blood and the more forcible
his fight.
The musquito is perhaps best known
and more universally troublesome in
North America than in any other part
of the globe.
A few years since cloud of musqui-
toes issuing from Salisbury cathedral
led the community TO believe that the
venerable edifice was on fire.
The Jersey musquito is celebrated in
song and story, but his rapacity and
ferocity are as naught when compared
with his congeners OF Alaska.
Walter Cotton says that in California,
criminals have been made to confess by
being exposed to the insects. They
could withstand any torture but this.
The musquito isa well-known member
of the Culex or gnat genus. He pervades
the earth. as the atmosphere surrounds
it, and is quite as ferocious in the Arctic
regions as in the tropics.
The musquito, although chiefly preva-
lent in the warm weather, has. in real
ity, all seasons for his own. Even in
New England he is found plying his
bloodthirsty vocation all the year
round.
There are fertile regions in some of the
states which renders it incapable of cul-
tivation because Of this enemy of man
and best. In eastern Europe and Asia
their rapacious attacks have caused in
sanity and death.
Ia old England, @our favored coun-
try as Wood says. mosquitoes are fa-
.miliar objects, as this naturalist found
to his sorrow, when he was bitten by
them, with an effect hardly less perni-
cious than If rattlesnake had fastened
uron him.
Not long ago London hotel much
frequented by Americans had vista
ton of mosquitoes. The invasion was
charged to the Americans, and great
popular clamor found expression in the
newspapers. An embargo and non-in-
tercourse were imminent, when the
alarm subsided by the discovery that the
pest originated, as it often does, in a
foul cistern. = Louisville Courier Jour
