THE MOSQUITO LIFE.

Our ancient foe, the mosquito, de-
serves mention a. q fall insect, for he
rarely leaves US until frost ends his
career. The adult mosquito requires
no description, but the larvae, known
as wrigglers, have some curious char
acteristics. Mosquito eggs are laid on
end, side by side, in a raft-like cluster
which floats on the water In a few
days the larvae crawl out at the lower
end, and swim about, feeding on de-
caying matter. Their breathing tube
Is near the tail. and they always rest
at the surface with the abdomen rails
ed so as to bring this tube above the
water. A fringe of fiat hairs at the tin
serves the double purpose of keeping
them afioat and of closing the breath
ing tube when they dive. They soon
change to pupae, and in a few days
more the pupa-skin splits down the
back, the winged mosquito crawls out
very damp and unsteady, and floats
around till dry, using his old skin as a
raft. This Is the most perilous time in
his life history, for breath or a ripple
will sink the raft and drown the navi-
gator; but II all goes well he soon flies
away, ready for business. For this
reason mosquitoes never breed in run
ming water. On the other hand, the
water does not seem essential to their
existence, for some species abound on
high, dry western plains, miles from
damp ground or standing water. II is
worthy OF mention that the female
mosquitoes do the singing and biting;
the males are silent and inoffensive,
rarely seen about dwellings. II will be
disheartening to most readers to learn
that there are $50 species of mosqui-
toes known.-Lippincot

In any case we are In America, not
