II there were no mosquitoes in the
world probably there would be no ma
laria. This Is because malaria is
caused by a microbe which is carried
about from person to person by the
mosquito. In other words, malaria Is
blood disease, In that mosquitoes
suck up the microbes from the blood of
one person and then fly off and inocu-
late other persons with those germs.
Meantime, the mosquitoes have mala-
ria. Flies transmit the germs of ty-
phoid fever, feas disseminate anthrax,
and mosquitoes are the purveyors Of
the malaria which cause elephantiasis.
and of the plasmodium which causes
malaria.
The malaria germ propogates Its spe-
cies by augmentation. Periodically
every day, or every three days, or
every four days, according to the type
Of the disease, the full-grown germ
subdivides and each division becomes
full-fedged microbe, with power to re-
produce itself. All the germs-plas=
modia, as they are called-subdivide
some minutes of one another. 1t Is this
that causes the periodical chill in ma
laria patients. In fact, when you see
malaria patient undergoing his daily
chill you may know that millions OF
young malaria germs are just breaking
away from the parent stem. The young
germ is in danger of being deyoured by
phagocytes in the blood. In fact a
great many are thus devoared. When
malaria Is well advanced the number
of germs Is SO much greaterSthan the
number of phagocytes that quite
enough are spared to do damage.
When the augmentation at last is
complete, some wonderful process Of
telegraphy, or perhaps the recognition
Of the germ itself of the end Of the
then stage of its existence, gives what
might be called an intra-human signal
and the universal breaking away Of
the young germs takes place. The
process is repeated again and again,
until the sufferer dies or the growth Of
the germs Is checked by medical or
other means. But in describing the
life of the germ 1t has been assumed
that it existed within the human body.
How did 1t get there? Undoubtedly air
and water transport the malaria germ,
under certain conditions, but there Is a
far more potent disseminating agent
the mosquito.
While there can be no doubt that ma
laria in its several forms is the result
Of microbe, it Is yet evident that there
are conditions under which the germ
will not thrive. A dry atmosphere is
| fatal to germs of all diseases, and to
the malaria germ particularly. Mala-
ria affects those who break the soil OF
low ground, who sleep on or near the
earth, who battle in or drink stagnant
water. Soldiers fatigued by long
marches who camp amid enervating
surroundings are extremely liable to It.
Yet the disease may not show itself
until some time after the march, for
the reason that troops travelling in
swampy districts usually are allotted a
daily proportion of quinine, which after
all may merely deaden the effects OF
the germ for the time being. This prob
ably was the reason SO many soldiers
were Ill Of malaria at Montauk point
In Cuba the quinine held the disease
In check. In fact, 1t may be said that
where marshy districts exist SO also
will malaria.

 St. Louis Parties Above Par.

As quite generally known, the re- ported sale of the water works bonds several weeks ago at ninety-fve cents on the dollar was never consumated, but on Thursday they were sold to James c. Cahill, of St. Louis, for one hundred and three-fourths of cent on the dollar, or three-fourths of cent above par
 These bonds are ten, twenties, or are payable after ten and under twenty years, and bear six per cent interest.
 Nil, Cahill has deposited certified check for $500 to guarantee his ac~ ceptance of the bonds within ten days from date of sale.
 There was another party here who offered within quarter of a cent of MT, Cahill's bid, who also put up certified check for $500 to guarantee his acceptance in case the first bid is forfeited.
 By this safe the commissioners will have plenty of money to pay the con- tract price for putting in the entire system as already contracted, also to dig the wells and possibly to lay ad- ditional mains aside from those pro- vided in the contract.
