Last week the TRANSCRIPT had an
interesting article on Malaria and
Mosquitoes and here is news item to
the point:
New York, August 19.-Miss Lottie
Lewis, aged 26 years, is in Bellevue i'll
with pernicious malarial fever, and the
physicians say the mosquitoes, biting
her, caused the attack of malaria. DR..
Richards has microscopically examined
Miss Lewis blood and has found in it
two varieties of parasites, such as were
found in the blood of malarious soldiers
who returned from Cuba.
PESTS CARRY PARASITES
Miss Lewis, who lives at No. $40 Sew
enth avenue, went to seaside resort a
fortnight ago. Mosquitoes bit her
furiously. Soon she was taken with
chill, which was followed by fever, and
then all the symptoms Of very severe
attack of intermittent fever developed.
She became so i'll that she was taken to
Bellevue Hospital on Wednesday.
The physicians say that the mosqui,
toes in malarial district become i'm
pregnated with the malarial parasite.
Then a mosquito bites a man and de-
posits the parasite under is skin.

immense rope of green was festooned
about the fighting top. each loop hung
with laurel wreaths four feet in diam

Captain Mahan, in the Engineering
Magazine, writing upon the duties and
responsibilities which devolve upon
this nation in its treatment of it's new
dependencies, says, among other sug-
gestions: Materially the interest or
the nation is one with its beneficence;
but if the ideas get inverted, and the
nation sees in its new responsibilities
first Of all, markets and profits, with
incidental resultant benefit 10 the ma
tives, it will go wrong" England did
this. he continues, and lost the United
States, and imperiled her power in In

to the nobility of her repentance.

Consul Wilbour of Dublin, Ireland,
has written the state department let
ter which should receive the atten-
ton of American manufacturers OF and
dealers in fertilizers. Consul Wilbour
says: Inquiry has recently been
made at this Office for the addresses OF
American houses handling superphos-
pilates, guanos, basic Stag, bone ma
nures and other chemical fertilizers.
The persons in question wish to deal
directly with the American manufac-
turers, and want especially to know
the price of goods per 100 and per
1000 tons, free on board, at such
Irish ports as Ballina, Galway, Sligo
and Westport, all Of which are on the
western coast of Ireland. The manure
must be of the best quality and the
prices such as to induce buyers OF
these goods to purchase. The percent
age Of phosphates, etc, should be CIV
en-. and the origin of phosphates should
also be stated"

Complaints from foreign importing
concerns Of the condition in which they
receive American cotton are by no
means infrequent. These complaints
have brought forth suggestion from
the Philadelphia Commercial museums
to the effect that packers and shippers
would probably find it to their advan-
tage to be more particular in baling
their cotton for shipment abroad. In
a letter of recent date large cotton
and yarn house at Osaka, Japan, says
that the American bales are too bulky,
and are vey inconvenient to deal
with, while the Bombay cotton, al
though of different quality, is packed
in less bulk and more conveniently for
handling.

Recently in New York some one in a
crowd OF roughs struck poor woman
with a stone, breaking her arm. The
missile had been thrown at random,
and the blame could not be fastened
on any individual member of the
gang" Besides physical suffering,
the accident brought helplessness and
grief to the unfortunate victim. For
wears she had struggled to maintain
a payment Of twenty-five cents week
to a company which, in return insured
her decent burial. But deprived of the
means of earning even the scantiest
wages, il appeared as though her long
fight had been in vain, and that her
body would lie in the potter's field.
This alone was a matter OF the deep
est regret. Shortly after the accident
she was evicted by her landlord. She
was, however. rescued from the aims
house by neighbors poor as herself.
And now" says the person who dis
covered her, every week one of the
gang brings her out of his scanty
wages the quarter, that alike insures
her peace of mind and the undisturbed
rest of her body in its long sleep, which
a life of toll has pictured to her as the
greatest OF earths boons." A young
man capable Of this fine act of repara-
ton has qualities that ought some day
to put him In position superior to
the low environment by which he is
now hidden.

On The west si1e Of the Jackson

are anything to &C by. there will even

up in this district. On one lead a
trench fifty feet in length was dug
across the surface Of a deposit. The
parties that dug this trench did not
find either side of the vein. The do
posit can be traced for over ; mile in
length. 1t seems to be . great line Of

The ore carried Is per cent copper.
Specimens have also been found show
ing free gold. The ores in this dis
trict are of all characters, such as car
Donates, red oxides, black oxides and
sulphides. In some of the veins the
ore is very high grade, but mostly in
the large deposits the ore il low grade

The district has plenty Of wood and

prominent in the State.-Silver State.
