TO KILL MOSQUITOES.
Millions May Be Smothered, in the
Embryonic Form, With Coal OIL.

Millions May Be Smothered. in the
Embryonic Form, With Coal OIL.
Andrew NJ. Sullivan, a well-known
attorney, says that millions of mos
quitoes in the wiggle waggle shape
may be exterminated by using few
gallons of coal oil.
AS is we'll known, the mosquito eggs
are deposited in ponds, lakes and
swamps. When they hatch ont a
minute wiggle waggle is the result.
They live in the water for several days
before nature provides them with wings
and their twO-bladed stiletto and blood
pump. At frequent intervals the in
fant pest must arise to the surface for
air.
Nh. Sullivan would smother the
young infants and put them out of the
world which does not want them. His
plan, in short, is to pour a few gal
Ions of coal oil upon the waters which
are breeding trouble. The Oil forms
a thin coating over the water, which
shuts off the air. The coat OF oil is
too thick for the promising young
mosquito to break through, and he,
with all of mis- sisters and brothers,
die for the want of air. Mr.. Sullivan
says thrt this scheme has been success
fully tested. and that whole counties
have been freed from mosquitoes by
providing the ponds and swamps with
a blanket of Oil.-Republic

General BIanco Gives Expression 20 the
Manner In which He Intends to
Carry on the Campaign
Against the Cubans.

LONDON, Oct. 12-The Spanish refu-
gees in this city announce the immedi-
ate publication here, for circulation in
Spain, Of periodical entitled Germinal.
In circularizing for funds they say;
HAL TO the social revolution!
"a group Of liberty loving Spaniards
are about to answer Angiolillos cry Of
'Germinal.' A valiant watchword from
the scaffold. The cowardly, inquisito-
rial government of Spain and the use
less, cowardly and inquisitoral capital
ist class Of Spain have thrown down the
gauntlet We shall take 1t up as the
best means Of demonstrating that the
ideal never dies. Holding our dignity
in greater estimation than life, we arc
disposed to defend by all means our
right to think. feel and act according
to our consciences."
When Angiolillo, the anarchist who
shot and killed Senior Canovas del Cas-
tillo the premier of Spain, on Aug. 20,
he firmly ascended the steps of the
scaffold and donned the black gowuand
cape. placing the cross Of the latter at
the back of his head. Then, calmly re
garding the spectators AngiOlillo asked
to be allowed to speak, and when the
necessary permission was given to him
ne uttered clearly the WOTu GeIInludl.
Germinal was the term given to the
seventh month of the French repub-
lican calendar. 1792-1sO6, which began
March 81 and ended April 19. After ut
tering this word the assassin sat on the
bench of the garrote and the execution
er adjusted the iron collar around his
neck AS the executioner was about 70
cover the prisoners face Angiollllo
asked him to leave it uncovered. The
executioner did so. the screw of the
garrote was turned and Angiolillo was
put to death. His corpse was exposed
until o'clock In the evening, when il
was buried.
All the spectators were greatly struck
by the anarchists attitude, and there
was much speculation as to the meaning
of his dying word, "germinal," It being
generally believed to have been a sigma
exchanged between the condemned mar
and some friend whom he expected tC

native Rau across a boa constructor
measuring about forty-seven feet,
which had just swallowed a young
koodoo buck, all except the
horne, The horns stuck out on each
side Of the reptiles mouth. The
native recognized the horns as those
of a;buGk he owned, and he ran and
got sticks and pinned the serpent,
which WIGS dormant, to the ground.
Then he got hold of the horrs and
pulled aad ,twlsted. He got the buck
out inch by inch, until half it's body
showed, and then it came with a jerk,
and the hoy fell over on his back. Be.
fore he bad time to think twice, the
snake, relieved of his load of mutton
was upon him, and it seized his head

was nothing left out to pull on, even
if a escurer had come along. Hav-
ing swallowed the boy, the boa de-
liberately swung it's head around, and

feet of it, thus closing the mouth
and throat down which the native had
