FISH LIVE OUT OF WATER,
Found In Africa and Australia and
Have Lungs.

In ordinary fish the gills take the
place of lungs, and are adapted to
breathing in water. but two species of
fishes have been lately discovered IN
Africa and Australia which are Dos
sessed of lungs. They form the cpn-
meeting link in the evolution from
fishes to the next order of creatures.
The reason that these fish are provided
with lungs is that they are to be found
in streams which dry up entirely in
the hot summer season, leaving the
flsh in the empty bed of the streams.
This period. of drouth often lasts for
SIX months of the year, and during all
this period the fish lie quiescent in a
kind of sac formed out of the clay of
the river bed. The fish are asleep in
their queer earthen houses all this
time, but they breathe and are kept
alive through their lungs. a specimen
of the African ''lung-fish'' Protopter-

Nothing could more strikingly illus
trate the Importance of small things
than the large role which is now. at.
tributed to the mosquito in the etiology
of some Of the most serious and wide
spread diseases to which the human race
is subject. It is truly said that what
prevents the successful colonization of
many tropical countries and what
throws the greatest obstacle in the way
Of civilization Of and good government
in vast regions of central Africa is not
climate, not distance from home and
not un%friendliness on the part of the
natives. The obstacle is malaria, and
now we find that the prevalence of ma
laria, so far as man is concerned, de-
ponds on the mosquito, and that this
pestilent little insect, in addition to ir.
ritating and annoying, is the means by
which the poison Of malaria is propa-
gated and distributed.
For years back botanists have known
the important part played by birds in
the scattering of seed and of insects in
the distribution Of the pollen of plants,
and it GEMS not unlikely that pathol-
ogists will have to recognize in q much
larger degree than has till lately been
done the large part taken by the subor-
