PETROLEUM FOR MOSQUITOES.
A Timely Suggestion as to How to Destroy
the Unmatched Plague.

A Timely Suggestion rs to How to Destroy
the Unmatched Plague.
A Mr.. L. O. Howard, who lives near
the city Of Washington, last year and
the year before made experiments with
a view to Kidding his premises Of the
mosquito pest that proved highlytBatis-
factory. The details of his experiments
have impressed the people of New Or
leans SO favornbly that there is talk
among the city fathers there of apply
ing the Howard system of insect killing
on q grand scale in and about that city.
Mr.. Howard located his mosquito breed
ing ground in a millpond and the ad-
joining marshy land near his residence.
He had previously established the fact
by tests in a rainwater barrel that
kerosene oil is certain death to the mos
quito larvae.
When he had located the wholesale
hatchery Of mosquitoes, he proceeded to
spray tho whole Will ornde 1>At->
leum. The area was about 1, coo square
feet, and 10 gallons Of oil at cost of
81. 10 sufficed for the work. This he did
in March, when the innocent mosquito
papooses were still slumbering unhatch-
ed in the mud and ooze. Three weeks
after the sprinkling there remained a
scum Of oil over the area, and most of
the larvae had been killed. During the
summer following Mr.. Towards first
experiment very few mosquitoes surviv-
ed to annoy him. The next spring he
repeated the sprinkling, and during the
summer of that year he had no use for
mosquito nets.-Savannah News

swell, you're going q long way around
the horn to look for them," retorted Mr..
Hill. with some irony in his tone.
How are we to get them ?" asked Mr..
Gray.
''Call the senator's" replied Mr.. Hill,
impulsively. "that is the best way"
How are we to tell who the senators
are ?" asked Mr.. Allen
II don't know" said Mr.. Hill, with
emphasis, "call them all. So long as
you have entered upon this investiga-
ton, it is your duty to exhaust it,"
Mr.. Hill declared that if newspaper
man had made statement rejecting on
his honor or integrity, and should 60
before o committee and testify that he
had no personal knowledge of the truth
of the charge, he Child aho uld insist on
being the next witness.
''As long as you have entered upon
this field of inquiry, the whole OF it
should be exposed. l have appealed
from the decisions for certain reasons-
first, the newspaper men are from my
state: they represent your papers in my
state; second. desire to present my
views; third, [ believed the senate was
entering upon ground it ought not to
tread upon, and that no good could come
from the prosecution of the newspaper
men, for l deny the right of the vice.
president to certify those facts to the
district attorney under the statutes
without affirmative action by the senate,
and. fourth. believe the senate has no
right to 60 further than it has gone."
Then, after some wrangling between
Mr.. Harris and Mr.. Hill, during which
the interchange of courte1ies was quite
acrimonious, and after an Intellectual
effort on Mr.. Hills part to introduce a
resolution declaring the question asked
the newspaper men, in which they were
to be held in contempt, were not peril
nent, and that the facts should not be
certified to the district attorney.
Mr.. Harris moved to table the appeal,
and it was carried without division.
Mr.. Hin then offered another resolu-
ton to the effect that certitications OF
the recalcltrancy should not be made to
the district attorney until the senate
had taken further action. Mr.. Harris
objected, when Mr.. Hill said he had no
objection to the resolution going over.
The vice-pEesident said: st will go
over"
Mr.. Harris said it could not go over
because it had not yet been introduced
and could not be. but the chair did not
alter the ruling.
The senate then resumed considera-
ton of the lumber paragraph of the tar
if bill, and MIR. Squire (Rep.) of Wash
ington addressed the senate in opposi-
ton to free lumber.
Mr.. Hale then offered an amendment
to place uniform duty of 81 on all lum-
Der. Defeated.
Mr.. Allen moved to place all lumber,
shingles. boards, etc., used in the build
ing of residences. upon the free list.
Without action on Mr.. Aliens amend
ment, at $3.50 the senate went into exec
utive session and few minutes later
adjourned until Thursday at 10 o'clock.

The Worlds Fair City Still Has Its Excit-

A huge monkey belonging to Ernst
Bros, the brewers, at 81 Larabee street,
escaped yesterday afternoon and gave
active employment to several policemen
and crowd of boys before it was cap
tured AS soon as it was discovered that
the monkey had escaped number of
the employees of the brewers attempted
to capture it. A number Of school chill
dren joined in the chase. When the
monkey was hard pressed, it climbed
tree and reached the roof Of house.
A ladder was procured, and one of the
men followed it, but the monkey swung
off into tree and into the window Of
another house, frightening the occu-
pants, who Immediately gave the animal
full possession of the premises. The
crowd soon increased to several hundred
people, and several policemen took a
hand. They found themselves less use
full than the schoolboys and finally gave
it up in disgust. The chase was kept up
through alleys and streets and from yard
to yard for nearly mile, when son Of
Italy, with the aid Of his banana stand,
succeeded in coaxing the monkey into

Married In a Baby Carriage.

A remarkable wedding took place at
the Bristol registry office yesterday. The
bride, prim woman of 43, wheeled
into the Office in an old fashioned per-
ambulator, the bridegroom, a crippled
man Of 45, who from his birth had not
been able to walk. He followed no oc-
cupation. When supported on his feet,
SO contorted were his legs that he was
only SO inches high. He asked that he
should be married in the perambulator
Besides the usual questions the astonish-
ed officials asked the bride if she really
knew what she was about. She replied
that she was fully aware of what she
was doing, and she wondered what the
crowd of people outside were laughing
ut, as it was only a wedding. The par
ties made the usual declaration as to no
lawful impediment to their union, and
they were duly married, and as the
bride wheeled away her newly won hus-
band the happy couple were followed by
a large crowd, who pelted them with
rice. London Telegraph.

Women Always the Same.

One would imagine from some things
that we read and hear that the Creator
gave to 1894 one sort of woman and to
1894 another sort. But there is no evil
dence that he made the one different
from the other New types have come
up as unpicturesque as fortunately their
number is few. But womanhood is pre-
cisely the same today as, it was in the
time Of Eve, different only in minor re-
spects, but exactly the same in the best
qualities that indelibly proclaim the
true woman She has broadened intel
lectually. True, but so has man, and we
never hear of the modern man as being
a creature radically different from his
predecessor by century's length, and
yet he has changed just as much. La

ARE BLUE GUMS vENomousr
A Texas Doctor Experimenting With the
Virus from Negroes Mouth.

Texas Doctor Experimenting With the
Virus from a Negroes Mouth
1t has long been belief among the
negroes that the bite Of one of their
race who has blue gums is about as
deadly as the bite Of mad dog or rat
tlesnalre. Few white people think this
is anything more than mere supersti-
ton, and while instances are recorded
in the newspapers every once in awhile
of deaths resulting from bites inflicted
by blue gum negroes the general opin-
ion is that the death was not caused by
the bite, or else that the blood of the
person bitten was in such condition that
wound Of almost any character equal
ly severe would have produced death.
1t is not questioned, however, that the
bite of human being-whether tho
blue gum variety or not-may in some
instances prove severe injury.
A case is reported from the Lott Store
neighborhood. A negro woman-Ellen
Toney-about 30 years of age, was bit
ten about week ago by her daughter
in-law. The wound was ON the little
finger and was not at all dangerous in
appearance, but in day or two the
hand began to swell, and the swelling
was accompanied by great pain. 1t soon
spread to the entire arm, which pulled
up to twice its normal SIZE A physi-
clan was called in, and he prescribed
such remedies as the case seemed to de-
mand, but lockjaw set in and lasted
about 30 hours Finally the swelling
began to abate, and the old woman is
now considered on fair road to recov-
cry.
The doctor learned that the daughter
in-law was of the blue gum variety and
examined her mouth to see if it differed
from that of anybody else. He says
the gums are of q purplish blue notified
appearance, unlike those of the ordina-
ny negro He is skeptical ON the subject
Of the bite of such person being more
poisonous than that of any one else, but
says he is experimenting with the virus
or saliva from this woman's mouth to
see if there is any truth in the belief of
the negroes. The subject of his expert
ment is small dog, which he innocu-
lated with the virus, and he says he is
waiting for developments with some de-
gree of interest. -Benham Cor. Calves

A BEAUTIFUL PANORAMA.
What No. IL of Glimpses of
America Contains.
The Awe-Inspiring Glaciers of Alaska
and the Northwest.
The Beautiful Scenery of tho Columbia
River-Lakes, Islands aud Forests.
Quaint Scenes In Alaska.
A Fine Portfolio.

The last number of Glimpses OF Amer
lea gives most vivid impression OF the
grand scenes in the great Northwest.
The glaciers of Alaska are shown so
graphically that on looking at the pict-
ure imagination feels the chill OF the ice.
The deep crevasses in the ice are shown
so near that one realizes something OF
the dread inspired by looking down into
those terrible chasms.
The most weird and strange body OF
water known is Crater lake.
This scene is just what the name inn
plies--the crater of an extinct volcano.
But this volcano was OF such vast pro-
portions as to be equaled only by some
OF the wonderful volcanoes shown by the
telescope to be on the moon.
The mountains around have the great
height and all the naked horror charsc-
teristic OF the appearance astronomers
describe the moon to have.
The scene given in this number of
Glimpses places the spectator on the
brink of the chssm looking directly
down upon the lake. 1t is beautiful
picture.
Scarcely less weird and strange Is
view OF the summit OF Mount Helens.
The top OF the mountain rises above the
clouds, like small island in the ocean:
the clouds stretch away on all sides like
the sea, or rather like boundless snow
field. and appear to be as solid as snow,
as If one might jump into the solid
looking mass with entire safety.
A number of scenes are given OF Co.
lumbia river. These pictures give an
exceedingly good illustration of the
variety and beauty for which the great
river is noted-beautiful waterfalls; the
softer beauties of valleys with fertile
fields and lovely meadows; grand forests
and mountains and precipices in endless
variety.
The Snoqualmie and other noted falls
are shown 80 wildly that it is like stand
ing on the brink of the rushing river,
stunned by its roar and enveloped in the
mists that come up from the raging
water below.
But none of the pictures produce so
lasting an impression as that of the
great glaciers; one returns to these again
and again. There is a fascination in
them that one cannot resist.
