Runaway Hcrse and Buggy Crush Two
 Children.
 Philadelphia, July 21.-A pleasant days outing in Fairmount park had tragic termination this evening for Edward Scalln and his wife and five children. As Scallin, his wife and the children were crossing the driveway at the Poplar street entrance of the park runaway horse attached to light buggy, in which was seated a woman tugging franticllly at the reins dashed down upon the little family group and trampled under foot two of the children-Nellie, aged 10 years, and Joseph, aged ' years The buggy passed over the prostrate bodies of the two children and when the terror-stric)i- en parents lifted their little ones from the ground the boy was dead and the girl unconscious. The injured child was taken to the hospital, where an examine tion showed that she had received a fracture of the skull and thigh and legs The accident will probably result fatally What became of the horse and the woman In the buggy is not known. The frightened animal continued on it's way after trampling the children under foot and disappeared The police reported to- night that they stopped a runaway horse at Twenty-fourth and Green streets but beyond this they know nothing about the runaway.

The Jnquisitive and Industrious Mosquitoes
 From Q Scientific Standpoint.

Thefo are supposed to be about 150 spe- cies of mosquitoes in the world. Already 21 species have besn identified as native to North America Tho largest varieties occur in tho tropics, where insect life or all sorts obtains it's fullest and most pes tiferous development. Nowhere, however, are these bloodsuckers moro abundant than in far northern lattitudos, as in arc tic Alaska, where they appear In count less swarms during the brief boreal sum mcr There arc at least three or four spc- cies of Jersey mosquitoes, one succeeding another during the progress of tho season. The biggest known mosquito is only found as fossil, happily. It lived in tertiary times, being contemporary with tho mas todon and megatherium. To it has been given the appropriate namc of "Culex damnatorum,n meaning "gnat of the damned
 There is no reason to doubt that mos quitoes carry diseases, and they arc serl- ously suspected of propagating yellow fever It has been noticed that yellow fever comes with them and goes when they depart; also that it is worst in seasons when they are most plentiful and in To- calities wEero they arc most abundant. But respecting this complaint compara- lively little has been definitely asccrtaincd.
 Tho mosquito is likewise accused Of propagating malaria by carrying tho in lection from ono person to another. This charge is not proved, however.
 It has long been known that only tho female mosquito bites. Tho male possesses Eo lanco for in1icting wound such as hls mato is provided with. Tho purpose of his existence is merely to pcrpctuate tho ,fort, hn1 IT n. less by accident. Tlio natural food of tho female is tho juices of plants, and it is not known why sho seeks blood. Tho indul- gcnce seems to bo kind of dissipation with her, like whisky and tobacco with human beings Cnliko tho latter, sfo never gets full but once. Her ing consists of five extremely sl:arp needles. two of which arc barbed They unite and form an awl, which, having inflicted the puncture, serves as tuEo for sucking tho blood of tho victim. Tic suggestion that poison orIs fluid Is introduced into tho wound for tho purpose of making the blood more liquid is mcro theory.
 Tho female mosquito lays her eggs in a boat shaped mass on tho surface of still water From these the larvn, called "wrgglers, {" arc hatched. When tho wrig- glcr considers that he has wriggled long enough, he comes to the su-aco and caro. fully cxtrica.cs himself from his skin, which scrycG as raft for him to stand upon Thi.; is tho danger roint of his life, for tho least breath of wind may upset Inc raft and drown him. Happily cscaring this fate, he flies away IS soon as his wings arc dry. If u "shc, the insect loses no time in seeking for some animal CT person to torture. IL has been contondcd that the larval mosquito has some usefulness, con sumipg miasmatic germs in tho water, but this is moro than nGouhtfuL-Wasl.ing' ton Star.

SERMONS BY BIRMINGHAM OlylNEs
Dr. Morris on Woman's Rights--He Believes in the Wife and Mother of
 the Bible.

The churches of Birmingham were well filled al the morning and evening services by attentive and devout congregations. Synopsises of some of the sermons follow:
 Dr. J. c. Morris preached an excellent sermon at the First Methodist church last night to a large and attentive audience on the subject of "Woman's Rights" He took for his text St. Paurs first epistle ; Timothy, second chapter and eleventh verse, Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection."
 pr. Morris handled his subject In a masterly manner all the way through, and had the ear of almost the entire con- gregation during the discourse. His ar gument was against woman's rights, and he quoted a number of Biblical authorl- ties to sustain him minis proposition. He paid beautiful tribute to the women in their proper sphere, but did not think it was ever intended for them to speak in public or have anything to do With poii- ties
 He said just think of a woman being mixed up in politics and the primaries!
 He said that woman was not the equa of man. He said physically she was weaker, mentally she was his equal, ana morally she was his superior. lie sald he protested against such thingzas Wo- mans rights, and regretted that such thing was ever thought of.
 He said in substance that this woman rights question demanded an almost eh- tire reconstruction of the Bible, and that he was not yet ready to give up his Bible, and by it he expected to ever stand.
