Tho Malicious Mosquito.

DIR. Findlay, OF Havana, in an ar
ticle in Science some time ago OK
pressed the conviction that mosquitoes
are the principal means of tho dis
semination OF yellow fever; that yellow
fever never appears in regions unvisited
by mosquitoes, and thatin other regions
it comes and goes with them. In the
summer OF 1885 mosquitoes were scarce
in Havana, and yellow fever cases wero
raro. With the autumn came unusually
large swarms, and the yellow fever came
at the same time. Anothcr writer for
Science says; "In 1889. during yell
low fever epidemic in Augusta, Ca, no
cases originated at Somerville, neigh
boring suburb among the sand-hills.
There were no mosquitoes at Somor-
Vile, which was approached by cir
cuitous route from Augusta. Some years
after straight broad road was built
through the swamps directly to the
ssnd-hills; cisterns were Aso built,
and mosquitoes appeared and became
an intolerable pest. During the yellow
fever epidemic ofls54 a number Of cases
originated at the sand-hills abuunding
with mosquitoes"

As venomous serpents America has
the rattlesnake, copperhead, water moe
casin and coral snake. India is pre-
eminently the home OF the poisonous
snakes, Of which there arc no fewer
than fifteen genera. The cobra is most
abundant but 0phiophagus elaps is the
most dreaded, and attains at times tho
length of fourteen feet Unlike the
cobra and tho crotalus this serpent Is
viciously aggressive, and will pursue
man with activity.
Among the vipers the daboya is en-
titled TO rank as poisoncr close to the
cobra, and the crotalidp are represented
by number OF snakes which are some-
what less effective slayers than tho
cobra. While these genera arc too suf-
flciently abundant on land, the Indian
seas also abound in species belonging
to the family Of hydrophidm These
serpants are agile and dangerous, but
as yet no ono seems 10 hayo made any
examination oi their venom, nor direct
ly experimental to learn any thing Of
its relative hurtfulness. Poisonous
water-snales arc found in abundance on
the shores OF South America, and used
to be thrown up in numbers by the
paddle-whoel steamers. The centipede
and the scorpion rank high in tho popu-
lar mind as poisoners, but they are
gentle apothecarics compared to tho
serpent
In America the only other animal at
all approaching tho poisonous snakes in
lethal vigor Is lizard, the ella mon
ster Of Arizona. This strange creature
is the only poisonous lizard known.
For long while 1t was looked upon by
oil except the Indians as harmless.
Sluggish, inert, well-armored with a
tough, defensive skin, a feeder on
birds eggs and on insects, it is most
difficult 10 induce this good-humored
and most hideous reptile to bite at all.
When once II takes hold no bulldog
could be more tenacious. The odor Of
its poisonous saliva is exactly like that
of magnolia buds. It's bite causes no
local injury and Its venom is deadly

A STORY OF RETRIBUTION.
By "WABA
lcoPYRiGHT, 1901
CHAPTER xv.-CoNT1NUED.

CHAPTER XV.-CoNTINUED.
Mr.. Emericl's annoyance was undis-
guised. The news he had read in the
foreign paper had only given him a
momentary pleasure. and when he no
ticed that he was being intruded upon
he was very angry. Mr. Blodger, how
ever was in blissful ignorance of the
fact, and said in his bland manner: "Mr.
limerick, believer"
Eyes, that is my name. What do you
want?" replied Mr.. Emericlt, curtly.
my call will only be of brief dura-
ton, and / will tell tho object OF it in
few words" was the answer which
Mr.. Blodger gave, as he handed over his
card.
"You can not be too brief to suit me-"
was the almost rude response. Mr..
Blodger seated himself opposite to Mr..
limerick and comm enced at once
"Some few months ago woman who
was selling newspapers over in Brook
lyn thought she recognized you as her
long-lost husband"
Mr.. limerick was startled, but he
readily answered: "Yes, but what has
that to do with your visit?"
Every thing" was the reply. This
woman has recently fallen heir to a
large amount OF valuable property in
Amiens, France, and IL has become nec-
essary that She should 60 to that place
at once in order to prevent her raven
Gus relations from robbing her Of it,"
Mr.. limerick was very much interest
cd now, but he had been in peculiar po-
sitions too often to betray his interest to
his listener, so he asked with apparent
unconcern:
"Why docs she not go to France at
once, then?"
"There is only one reason, and that
is that she swears she will see you first,
answered Mr.. Blodger.
"And you, presume, wish me to
grant the woman an interview" asked
Mr.. limerick.
Precisely" was the answer.

lex, whose manner was now very much
changed "Tell her to come to my
rooms tonight, and |. will see her
alone, you understand" he answered.
at shall be as you say. Second floor
Grantham Flats" said Mr.. Blodger as
he read the address which Mr.. Emerich
had written on his card. "She will moi
have far to go, but" here he hesitated
moment, and then continued Would
1t not be better for her son to ac
company her?"
"No. | will sec her alone or not a

As Mr. Blodgcr rode back up town hi
could not help thinking that there wa:

had had ample time to make his mind
up how to act and was fully prepared.
"Be seated, madam he said, in an
ordinary polite manner.
She did not scat herself, but stood

as slo said; "Alphonse, do you not
know me? Emilio-your wife?'
He returned the gaze; then putting
his hand to his forehead in dramatic
manner he said:
IF so, how changed~ lie spoke the
words in en- undcrtnnc, as II to mako the
woman believe nc 1id not intend her TO
hear thHm, Z, his intontion what 1t
may, sho heard the words, and as she
took a step towards him she said: "rhen
you GSe Alphonse Bregy?"
''Yes, am" he replied.
"Why then are you known as Mr..
limerick? You are notashamed of your
own name, are you?" asked the woman.
THAT is question which can not
answer now" he replied.
But you are my husband, aren't
you?" still questioned the woman in a
tone of piteous appeal, as II his accept
ance of her husbands name was not suf-
ficient
'In the eyes of the law l believe l
am STILL" was the reply.
"Then won't you take me back to
your arms and be again to me what you
were once? My rove for you has never
wavered in the least"
81 am afraid that can never be-" said
Mr.. limerick. IL should have to re-
nounce one name or tho other, and the
world would open its eyes in wonder and
astonishment."
He knew that the woman was as deep
ly in love with him as ever, and that he
could control her at his pleasure. So
he did not hesitate to make admissions.
81 will take your namo If need be and
ask no questions regarding your life
since you left me. Only fold mo to your
heart and bring back the memories Of
our early married life and / will do any
thing you ask
There was still coldness about Mr..
limerick, but he threw it of as best he
could, and taking the woman in his arms
he pressed her to him and fondly kissed
her, saying: "You shall again be all

Here Mrs Delaro ventured to remark
that she did not think 1t would be any
use to wait all summer expecting news
of Percy.
"The body which was found in the
river must have been his and the poor
follow is undoubtedly dead"
"But what will become Of all that
money manma?' asked Armida.
"oh, let tho money rest, my child;
some one will claim 1t some day." was
th0 answer
We'll, then, if you ladies will ac-
cept my escort, we will arrange a date
to start to Europe. Isuppose you will
not object to my taking Stephen Blod-
ger, Jr., along?" said Mr.. Blodger.
Not II you take the precaution to
warn the steward Of the ship to lay in
an extra supply Of provisions-tbat boy
has such an immense appetite. 1t
would be awful If the provisions ran
short in mid-ocean in consequence of
it." said Armida, in joking manner.
"Armida, please be serious" said her
mother, gravely.
"Oh, ! must break out occasionally,
mamma, or shall grow melancholy"
Mrs. Delaro accepted her daughters an
swer as an indisputable fact
The result OF the conversation was
that Mr.. Blodger was deputized to
,,,alo arra 20 fop thair aorlv Il a.
parture by way Of Liverpool. He lost
no time in doing 1t, and that very day
he secured berths on Cunarder sailing
the last week in May. When the day
came everybody was ready, and, as the
noble ship steamed down tho harbor
out on 10 the broad Atlantic, Mrs.
Delaro's mind was full Of thoughts re-
garding tho occurrences OF the years
since her beloved husband was torn
from her side.
"Will my purpose ever be fulllled?'
she would ask herself "And must
that villain be permitted to still roam
this earth without paying the penalty
OF his crime?'
During her life on board ship she had
ample opportunity for undisturbed com.
munion with her thoughts, and some
how she had presentiment that the de.
sire OF her life would still be accom-
plished. Often she would almost give
voice to the lines:
"The mills Of the gods grind slowly,
| But they grind exceeding small"
Then with renewed hope in her breast
she would join the merry throng Of pleas
ure-seelIer5 and endeavor TO drive hei
thoughts into pleasanter channel
though none but herself knew how
much the effort cost her
Upon arriving in London they wen
Immediately to the hotel which Armida
had named to Mrs. Bregy, and at once
commenced to do" the city and its sur
roundings.
Blodger was delighted. Day after
day he would trudge around with un
tiring zeal, and he insisted on dragginI
Armida along with him, until she grew
tired OF It all and excused herself from
most OF his excursions.

said.
'Then sit down here beside me and

spoke these words he drew two chairs
together and motioned Mrs. Bregy to
take one OF them. Seating himself be-
side her he said: "You must first prom
ise me that you will never ask mo any
questions regarding the past twenty
years of my life"
"That | will readily PROMISE" an
swered the now happy woman.
Next you must not tell any one that

"But that can not be- How can |

asked Mrs. Bregy
"That is easy enough to manage"
was the reply, 'if you will only follow
my instructions and act precisely as /

you must maintain your composure, DO
not tell any one you have found your
husband. Tell them all that you made
a hideous mistake and that am not
Alphonse Bregy at all, but merely Mr..
limerick"
"Then how can we be united?' asked
the woman impetuously.
Readily enough. This acquaintance
OF tonight shall ripen into intimacy.

eagerly into the discussion.

the woman. "But how about Eugene?'

Then he went over to Mrs. Delaro's and
told her all about 1t. That night was

night which New York had seen for
some time. 1t had rained incessantly
for nearly twelve hours and the streets
were running with water. When Mrs.

Other PoIioe-Court Cases

Ot0tF EOlice-NouEt kubtS
An examination was held in the Police
Court Yesterday morning in the continued
case Of Joseph and Florence Warren (both
colored), charged with feloniously assault
ing and wounding L. A. Wilkinson with
intent TO kill. Mr.. Wilkinson, who IS
watchman ut the Cedar-Works. appeared
in court with his head all bandaged up,
his appearance showing plainly that he
had passed through quite a rough
experience. The Waterman was as
saulted on the Sd OF February. He
testified that late that afternoon he
caught the prisoners stealing brass in the
old brewery building Hewent up to them
and ordered the boy (who had q bag) to
give up the brass and leave the premises.
As he was in the act Of taking the bag the
boy struck HIM on the head with brick
and knocked him insenslble. Several
other witnesses testified 70 the facts in the
case, as already reported in the Dispatch,
and the accused were sent on to tho grand
jury.
An examination was also held in the case
of William A. Cumber, charged with steal
ing o GOLD watch and cham valued at $35,
the property of John Hicks, which resulted
in the discharge of the prisoner. The evil
dence failed TO show that the accused had
any intention whatever of committing
larceny.
Burton Poindexter (colored) was charged
with breaking and entering in the night.
time the office of Floyd Tyler and stealing
50 in money and baseball. PoindexteI
and Chatham Tompkins were also charged
with trespassing on tho premises of Lom-
hardy school. The robbery was committed
many months ago. Poindexter was sent
on TO the grand iury for that offence, and
both of them were required to givesecurity
for thirty days in the sum Of $780,
w. L. Godfrey and Nosby Boiler, charged
with being suspicious characters, were re-
quired to give security for sixty days for
their good behavior.
