ENGLAND'S INSECT CENSUS.
It Has Found 301 Families, Good, Bad
and Indifferent of Which the Worst
: Is the Mosquito.

From the complete census Of the insect
kingdom that has just been taken scien-
lists nave decided hat the common mos
quito is the most harmful of all the bug
families. Unlike other insects it absorbs
the poisons of disease in order that it
may inject them again into the veins OF
its victims. The scientists are so fully
persuaded that much disease and death
is due to the work Of this insect that
they are arranging to exterminate it
from the face of the earth. The cut shows
he head of the mosquito and above it
the instrument by means of which the
fatal injections are made.
English scientists v just completed
of the most unique experiments ever
undertaken, this being nothing less than
an insect census. The idea originated
with the officials of the British museum
but now that the work has been practi-
cally completed the results obtained ave
been so remarkable that Investigations
along these lines are to be continued.
facts and figures are to be verified, and
every effort is to be made to get the in
formation obtained into such a form as to
make it of great value in improving the
| health of humanity. That such results
+! will follow there seems to be no reason
for doubt.
This novel census of the insect kingdom
has been taken on purely scientific lines.

busy making a collection Of mosquitoes
from all parts of the world for the pur-
pose of investigating the theory of ma
laria being solely contracted from mos
quito bites, and out of a box Of so from
Malta only about seven or eight were
true mosquitoes. That shows how wide
spread error is said Ernest Austen OF
the natural history department of the
British museum-who knows more about
mosquitoes than ordinary people ever
imagined there was to learn.
"And have you come to n cOncluslon
regarding the malaria theOry?"
well, of curse, that is rather out of
my province. But l may say that it
has been proved that it is undoubtedly
contracted from mosquito bites at times.
and we expect to find that it is always
SO. We have proved that bird diseases
in India are spread by the bite of para
sites peculiar to them, n 1t is likely
we shall learn that malaria is the result
of mosquitoes. If that is so. the next
thing to do will be to stamp ou mosQui-

The total land area of the continent may
be taken at about $3.50, 900 qua miles.
The coast line is between $4,000 and 5000
miles, and with the possible exception OF
the extreme east of Russia there is no
part Of Europe which is more than 500
miles from the %seacoast. 1t will. there

Europe a great advantage over any other

that this advantage has been maintained

Cities everywhere have been infested
with flying or crawling marauders. The
greatest curse of all has been the mosqui-

the character of the insect, a great deal
of the disease now prevalent can be laid
to their door. In addition to this the
columns of the papers have been filled
with accounts Of fatalities due to the
work of this pest, all of which tend to
stamp it as being the most harmful OF
all the insects with which we have to
contend. That this is not sensational
theory that has no basis in fact is shown
by the Investigations of the scientific So

devise some means Of DISCRIMINATING the

A DAY With MADAME LOQDct.|
THE WIFE OF THE PRESIDENT KEEPS ON HER EVEN WAY WHILE
FRANCE is UPHEA WING AROUND HER.

To spend a day with Madame Loubet
Is quite different from visiting MADAME
Faure who is an aristocrat: and who,
though she is no longer in the Elysee
palace, maintains more state in Paris
today upon the income left her by the
late President Faur than Madame LOU
bet maintains upon the enormous salary
of the president of France. They say
that Madame Faure, to live in such style
as she now keeps Up, even though in
mourning weeds, must be benefiting by
the deals which are laid at the doOr
of the late president. But hat is neither
here nor there. This has to do with the
wife of the president of the French re-
public, the woman who today stands be-
tween the bourbons, the Bonapartes and
the throne: the woman who viii hold the
republic together if ever a woman had it
in her OWE to do so.
Madame Loubet was born, if not poor,
at least of humble parentage. Like Lou
bet, she came of the people, those whom
the French call bOurgeofse. Her father
was from Picardy; very malicious aristo-
Gratis say that he was once a tramp, but
that is not proven.
His name was Denis, and we worked as
an i%ronmonger until he had saved enough
money to start a store for himself. Trade
in France as in America is the beginning
of money. and soon he had a nice little
sums saved up, so that when his daughter,
Marie. fell in love with the young lawyer,
Loubet, there was no objection to the
marriage.
The French think more of a 'dot' thar
they think of love. Love without a dot
is impossible. The poor girl who falls

cratic regime that she actually pushed"
the meat upon a leg of lamb to be sure
that it was tender, and that she "crack-
ed" the bones of the chicken to assure
herself it was a this years fowl.
Madame Loubet, when she goes mar
keting, is accompanied by a French
guard; for these are troublesome times
in the republic and there are those h

and his wife hat they woul very gladly
Wreak their vengeance upon an inOffen--
Sive woman.
President Oub is very anxious about
the welfare of his wife and has been most
cautious ever since the fate of Elizabeth
of Austria. He will not allow madame
to walk unaccompanied in the streets.
and when she goes out on the simplest
errand she must have mounted soldiers
on either side OF her. To prove that this
is a necessary p%recaution it need be men
toned that no less than four times dur
ing the past three months have suspic-
iOus persons been detected along the
route, apparently waiting their chance
to strike down the wife of the president
of the republic.

III love goes to Paris and works out until
she earns a small dover. 1t is not ar
independent fortune by any means. but it
Is sufficient, when invested, to clothe her
for the rest of her life. That is the poor
French girls idea of a ~dot-enough to
dress her we'll without asking the few
francs a month that are necessary.
But Marie Denis had the dot without
working for it, and young Loubet saw
that he was doing we'll. An honorable
young lawyer with a wife with some
money has a fine nance in any country,
and SO Loubet got his start.
Years afterwards Denis died and left a
fortune of 100, 900 francs to Marie. Mean
while he had been sending money period
ically to his daughter: and so the Lou
bets always had a lift over the hard
places.
After Loubet went to Paris, taking his
young wife with him, he began to NEEDLE
in politics and soon he became a senator.
Then he was elected president of the sem
ate; an Marie and her husband Went to
live in the palace of the Luxembourg.

which created such a scandal 20 years
ago. He was said with the others, to
have put money in the concern, and to
have drawn out a great deal more than
he was entitled to. The poor mans
francs We're said to have found their way
into the Panam business through the
hands of many statesmen of France,
Ioubet among the rest. But that is an
other piece of gossip. and in recalling
these things one must always remember
that gossip i~nSeparably attaches itself to
those of high position. The French "
a proverb which says that ii is impossi-
BILE to stand upon a pinnacle without be-
coming a target: and Loubet early gain
ed the pinnacle prominence.
The Loubets had children, and n of
them became Madame de Saint-Prix. NJ.
de Saint-Prix is a judge in Marseilles,
and his wife is a woman of wealth and
influence.
Thus step by step Marie Denis found
herself coming from the little town of
Monelimart, France where she was born
III 1S49. to the proudest position in Paris.
At the age of so, just the time when a
woman feels her full strength of mind
and body, her husband was made presi-
dent of the French republic, and Mad
anne Loubet became the mistress of the
Palace Elysee with Madame lie Saint
Prix from Marseilles to assist her in her
new station.
If you visit Madame Loubet today, as
your correspondent had the pleasure of
doing a few days ago. you will find her a
rather stout, g~ray-haired woman with a
very motherly ann and a soft gentle
voice. She will impress you as being of
the people. There are no silly airs
about her. She is very democratic and
very economical.
Each morning Madame Loubet goes
forth in her carriage to do the family
marketing. which is to her the most i'm
