Mosquito Killer of Mexico.
rom the Venezuelan Herald.

From the Venezuelan Herald.
The Mexican Railway company is en-
gagged in new experiment which, if II
is all that is claimed for 1t, will be of in
cstimable value to the residents of this
city. To show how earnest they are in
the matter they have located a new Of
fice-that of mosquito cOmmissioner-and
the portfolio was awarded to Captain
George c. Sperry, superintendent OF tele-
graphs for the company.
Experiments in different parts Of the
United States, and in New Jersey in par
ticular have demonstrated the fact that
the determination of the mosquito can be
accomplished.
An exchange, in discussing the matter,
| said:
Scientific investigation has disclosed
| the fact that few grains of permanga-
| nate Of potash will destroy all the embryo
mosquitoes in very large area of mos
| quito swamp. At cents an acre ali the
mosquitoes can be killed off for a space
| of thirty days, and as the breeding time
| is but two months, cents will assure
protection for the entire year. This places
| it within the possibility of a state, ana
| certainly a city, to entirely rid itself of
| n great nuisance"
April and May are the two months in
which mosquitoes breed, They are pure
| ~ local in their habits and not migratory,
as some suppose. and they seldom move
| more than a hundred feet from the place
| nf their birth. Hence, to eXtermnate the
| breed IN certain locality would rid
hat locality of the pest for that season
| at least and the method Of determination
| IS so inexpensive that an entire commun-
| 'ty may be rid of them at very small
| expense.
