ABOUT MOSQUITOES.
Tho Little Pests Get Looked At by .
Scientific Eye.

Scientific Eye.
There is no reason to doubt that mos
quitoes carry diseases. and they are
seriously suspected Of propagating yel-
low fever, says Washington Star. It
has been noticed that yellow fever
comes with them and goes when they
depart; also, that it is worst in sea-
sons when they are most plentiful and
in localities where they are most
abundant. But respecting this COM
plant comparatively little has been
definitely ascertained. The mosquito
is likewise accused of propagating ma
laria by carrying the infection from one
person to another This charge is not
proven, however. It has been long
known that only the female mosquito
bites. The male possesses no sting for
inflicting wound such as his mate is
provided with. The purpose of his ex-
istence is merely to perpetuate the
species, and he never enters house un-
less by accident The natural food Of
the female is the juices of plants, and
it is not known why she sucks blood.
The indulgence seems to be kind of
dissipation with her, like whisky and
tobacco with human beings. Unlike
the latter, she never gets full but once.
Her sting consists of five extremely
sharp needles, two of which are barbed.
They unite and form an awl, which,
having inflicted the puncture, serves
as tube for sucking the blood of the
victim. The suggestion that poison
Gus fluid is introduced into the wound
for the purpose of making the blood
more liquid is mere theory. The fe-
male mosquito lays her eggs in boat
shaped mass on the surface of still
water. From these the larvae, called
"wrigglers," are hatched. When the
wriggler considers that he has wrig-
gled long enough, he comes to the sur
face and carefully extricates himself
from his skin, which serves as raft
for him to stand upon. This is the
danger point of his life, for the least
breath of wind may upset the raft and
drown him. Happily escaping this
fate he flies away as soon as his wings
are dry. If ''she," the insect loses
no time in seeking for some animal or
person to torture. It has been con-
tended that the larval mosquito has
some usefulness, consuming miasmatic
germs in the water, but this is more
than doubtful.

NO COMPROMISE.
From the Pittsburg Times,

from tne PlttsDurg Times.
This Is evidently to be another Of
Senator Quay's compromise weeks. His
organs have started out in full cry that
there Is great talk Of compromise afoot,
and, with their usual lack of cand0r and
regard for truth. they falsely attribute
such utterances. really emanating from
themselves, to the friends of Governor
Hastings. 1t is especially noteworthy
that the Democratic Quay organs are
particularly positive that the support
ers Of the governor are anxious for a
compromise and are sure Of defeat II
one II not effected. The few Republi-
can Quay organs follow the same
strain, which Is weakly echoed by the
sheets still on the fence between duty
to the party and slavish submission
to the senatorial autocrat. The whole
cry for compromise has come from
these sources. It was first heard when
the Quay defeats in Lackawanna
county convinced the senator that he
was certainly riding for q fall, and the
repeated reverses experienced by him
since have only served to impress the
necessity Of something being done to
permit him to score point indirectly.

directly. After the first compromise
talk was launched game Of blum and

would more clearly express their real
intentions, and the intentions Of their
master. Mr.. Quay, If they would in

Pennsylvania to deliver over to the
Junior senator from this state. the
United States senatorship now held by
Senator Cameron, but which will be-

manding Governor Hastings to ac-
knowledge Mr.. Quay as his superior
officer and 'rboss." For this is what
vote for Quay for state chairman
means. and, with the issues drawn as
they are now drawn. 1t is the only
thing which such vote can mean.
Why should the Republicans Of Potter
county or Of any other county in the
commonwealth pass vote of censure
in August. 1895, upon a state adm!nis-
tration called to power in the preceding
November by the largest popular plur-
ality in the annals of our politics? Why,

requisites to public confidence and ap-
proval? Has 1t not, in every emer-
gency. stood for the people and safe
guarded their interests? Did it not,
through Governor Hastings, cry out
against the extravaganza of the Quay
legislature? Did 1t not, through him.
do all within Its power to enforce the
constitutional mandate in reference to
reapportionment? We challenge the
production of any proof that the admin
istration has fallen short in any of these
particulars. We challenge Senator Quay
in which the present chief executive Of
the commonwealth has shown by his
official actions that he deserves to be
censured by the men who elected him
to Office, or that the deliberate humilia-
tion Of him at the beck Of jealous
senatorial boss would rebound to the
benefit Of the party or the state.
To elect Quay state chairman after
the threats he has made would be to do
all Of these things. 1t would be to put
a public premium on dictatorial inter-
ference with elected servants OF the
people. 1t would be to confirm in Mr..
Quay all those traits of mischievous
manipulation which have twice ere this
overwhelmed the party in this state
with disaster and invite their future
repetition unchecked by the fear Of pop
ular disapproval. 1t would do even
public notice that offices in Pennsyl-
vania could hereafter be secured only
through the brokerage Of Cameron,
Quay, Andrews & Co., and that honest
performance of public duty or personal
fitness for public trust had been super
seded as essential qualifications for
party prefsrment by oaths of servitude
to the rsigning party czar.

posing the latter was because he had
sustained Governor Hastings In hiS at

certion, indeed. which could Imagine
that Governor Hastings would consent

would mean an Endorsement for Sena-
