War ON the MoSnuito.

DR.. Robert H. Lamborn observed in
camp in Minnesota that the dragon fly
deyoured mosquitoes voraciously. He
also saw on one occasion dragon fly
that had eaten thirty house flies and was
still hungry. DR.. Lamborn argues from
this that if dragon flies could be bred and
domesticated in sufficient numbers they
would exterminate the pests named. It
has been proved that both flies and mos
quitoes breed disease and convey infec-
tons.
To emphasize his convictions on the
subject DR.. Lsmborn offers 5000 to be
paid in three prizes for the three best es-
says on the destruction of mosquitoes
and flies by other insects. The essays
are to deal with the dragon fly among
the other insects, and are to make plain
from actual experiments what is the
most suitable species of dragon fly for
this purpose, and what is the best meth
cd of propagating it artifcially.
The essays are to be finished and sent
by Dec. /, 1889, to Mr.. J. Ell. Winser,
American Museum of Natural History,
Seventy-seventh street and Eighth ave-
nue., New York.

The Contents of an Eggshell.

The weight of an ordinary new laid
hens egg is from one and half to two
and half ounces avoirdupois, and the
quantity of dry solid matter contained in
It amounts to about two hundred grains.
In 100 parts about 10 parts consist Of
shell, go of white and 30 of yolk. The
white of the egg contains larger proper
ton of water than the yolk. 1t contains
no fatty matter, but consists chiefly of
albumen in a dissolved state. All the
fatty matter of the egg is accumulated
In the yolk, which contains relatively a
smaller proportion Of nitrogenous matter
and larger proportion of solid matter
than the white. Therefore, in an alimen-
tary point of view, the white and the
yolk differ considerably from each other,
the former being mainly simple solu-
ton Of albumen, the latter being solu-
ton of a modified form of albumen, to-
gether with a quantity Of fat.-Cassel's

One of the pleasantest papers Of tho
month is James M. Scovel's Personal
Recollections of Abraham Lincoln" in
Lippinoott. 1t shows especially the emo
tional and postio side Of the murdered
president.
We find that the humorous reading
Lincoln most enjoyed was the writings
of Artemus Ward, so quaint and funny,
like the presidents own wit. A little
appreciation or sympathetic message
during the years of torturing anxiety
would make his eyes fash with pleas
ure and his sad face light up almost
with illumination. ..... ....-. .
He was constantly being badgered 10
show leniency to deserters, or grind an
ak for this or that individual Often,
ON such occasions, he sent notes to Sec
rotary Stanton asking that the bearers
request should be granted. Sometimes
Stanton would allow it. At other times
he would tear up the paper before the
applicants eyes and say:
$50 back to Mr.. Lincoln and tell him
I'll be If I'll do it."
1t was on such an occasion that the
president remarked:
"Well, I never did have much infiu-
ence with this administration"
Mr.. Scovel writes:
To President Lincoln poetry was the fairest side
of truth He was, withal, philosopher. and
one of his favorite passages, which he often 70
peated. was from Gibbons philosophical Re-
fiectionS:" "a being of tho nature OF man, en-
bowed with the same faculties, but with larger
measure of existence, would cast down o smile OF
pity and contempt on the crimes and follies OF
human ambition SO eager in q narrow space 70
grasp at precarious and short lived enjoyment
1t is thus that the experience Of history exalts
and enlarges tho horizon Of our intellectual view

Surveying the Arid Lands.

The government survey for the irriga-
ton of arid western lands has already
begun under the supervision Of Maj.
Powell. The plan is briefly this: Wher-
ever in the arid region there Is near a
river a reservoir or catch basin suitable
to hold the overflow Of water from the
river, that reservoir will be surveyed by
the government and exempted from pri-
vate settlement or occupancy. Govern
ment surveyors will indicate where dams
should be built
After this the work of the United
States will cease. States or corporations
leasing the basins will then take hold of
the work, build the dams and let the
waters flow into the reservoir. Irrigat-
ing canals will then be constructed
through the dry lands, and farmers &C.
cupying the lands will pay water rent.
Immense crops are raised on this irri-
gated land. There is no danger from
either drought or too much rain. Maj.
Powell says there is enough arid land in
the center tract to make eight states the
size of Indiana The tracts only need
irrigation to make them develop extra
ordinary fertility Col. Hinton, who is
said to be an expert, tells us that twenty
acres of this land will produce, under
irrigation, as much as 100 acres cult
waited in the ordinary way and depend
ent on rainfall. There are various tracts
besides the central region. Altogether
there are some 100000 square miles of
arid land. What the population of the
country will be when this is reduced to
fertility and occupied almost defes the
imagination.

The Last Of the Old Novelists.

Wilkie Collins has written so little re-
Gently that he has scarcely made ripple
on the great sea of fiction. Though by
no means forgotten, he has been practi-
cally buried for several years.
But he finishes chapter in the history
Of English fiction. 1t is quite likely.
nay, one might say it is sure, century
will pass before there are as many great
English writing novelists as were con-
temporary with the author of "The Wo-
man in White" Will this generation,
or the next, see such bouquet of names
as Thackeray, Dickens, George Eliot,
Charles Reade and Wilkie Collins?
The most popular English writer of fic-
ton at present is Ouida, whether one adj
mires the taste of her devotees or not. She
writes better stories than she gets credit
for, however. Ouida, Miss Braddon and
Mrs. Oliphant are undoubtedly more
widely read than any other novelists at
present. But these leave no distinct
i've mark. Thackeray, Dickens, George
Eliot, Charles Reade and Wilkie Collins
mark the period of English fiction which
deals especially with the scenes and lives
of middle class English life. They smack
of republicanism more or less, and lib
erty and equality.
After them came in a new school, that
dealing with the element of the weird
and supernatural Modern spiritualism
began to influence fiction Wilkie Col
lins may indeed he almost said to be the
forerunner of this class, since bis stories
are often tinged with the weird and the
marvellous. Still he belongs distinctively
TO the group named. After him came
the Hugh Conway and Rider Haggard
novelists in England.
In America William Dean Howells and
Constance Fenimore Woolson hold re-
spectacle, thoroughly well earned place
as novelists, without distinctive flavor,
however. But there is class of young
American novelists who have flavor
enough to saturate tho whole western
continent and Europe That is the feshly
school. Where they will end it will be
Interesting to see.
Meantime brave old Wilkie Collins has
hardly had the standing in literature that
he deserved. Some of his stories are ex-
quisite specimens of good English writing
as well as Of plot building. 'sThe Moon
stone" is his best work. The splendid
scene at the close, when the four Brah-
minis part has rarely been equaled by
sny novelist. tt is one to remain in the

The Japanese Wooden Shoe.
Chatter, chatter, clatter! What noise
the people make as they go along the
roadl They all wear wooden sandals,
and their stockings are kind of mitten
with finger for the big toe. During
wet weather their sandals become stills,
and the whole japanese nation increases
its stature by three inches when it rains.
These sandals are held to the foot by
straps coming over the toes, and there is
straw sole between the foot and the
sandal of wood. A tall japanese on a
silt sandal closely approaches the ridicu-
lous. He sometimes tucks up his long
gown under his belt to keep it from be-
ing spattered by the mud, and the backs
of his bare calves seem to be walking off
with the man. The japanese walk is
peculiar. The men put their feet straight
in front of them, like the American In
dian. They lift them high off the ground,
and they have get there air about them.
The women wabble and wabble; they
bend over as they walk, and they have
what Is now in America the fashionable
stride. Their little feet in sandals turn
inward, and all female Japan Is pigeon

to showing her ankle, and the soul of the
Japanese beau does not fiutter when he
