sCAREcRow FOR MOSQUITOES.

John Habberton states with the sol
emnity of firm conviction that mos
quitoes are extremely frightened by
dragon flies and will not come within
yards of them. He says that one or
two dried dragon flies suspended by
fine silk from the roof of an open
porch infested by the little pests will
scare all of them away, and they will
not come back while the dragon flies
are there. This he says he has tried
with surprising results. 1t is well
known fact that dragon flies are pre-
datory and voracious insects and that
they subsist largely upon knats, midg-
cts and mosquitoes, and it is but nat
ural that the mosquito, who is wise
insect, should regard the spindle, .
