MOSQUITOES GALORE.
Collection of the Pests Made by the
British Museum.

London Leader.
I'VE are at present busy making a col
lection of mosquitoes from all parts of
the world for the purpose of investigat-
ing the theory of malaria being solely
contracted from mosquito bites, and out
Of box of fifty from Malta only about
seven or eight were true mosquitoes.
That shows how widespread error isl
said Ernest Austen, of the natural his
tory department of the British museum
who knows more about mosquitoes than
ordinary people ever imagined there was
to learn.
And have you come to any conclu-
sion regarding the malaria theory?"
well, of course, that's rather out of
my province. But l may say that 1t has
been proved that it is undoubtedly con-
tracted 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, and it 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 out mos
quitoes."
Easier said than done, isn't it?" que
ried the Leader representative.
The pools where they breed must be
filled up-they cannot exist without wa

TOO ILL TO SHOOT"
Yet Capt. PatiIIO Made a Marvellous
Record on the Target.


New Orleans Times-Democrat.
They tell a funny story in the army
about Capt. Patillo, the crack shot" said
one of party of late diners. According
to the yarn, Gen. Miles and a high Wash
ington official once visited a Western
post where the captain was stationed, and
sent word that they would like to see q
little exhibition of his skill. Patillo hap
pened to be quite sick at the time, but
he couldn't well refuse, and presently ap-
peared on the ng-distance range.
He blazed away, and an Irish sergeant
who had been sent out to act as mark
err waved g. small flag. What does that
mean? asked the distinguished visitor.
1T means l missed the whole target said
Patillo, gloomily. He tried again with
the same result. I don't know what s

deep modification. I never did such work

varied the wigwagging, and the assem-
bled officers applauded. The signal meant
a bulPs-eye. Thereupon he fired twenty
consecutive rounds and after each time
the flag waved back the news that he
had pierced the inner circle 1t was a
marvellous record, an unparalleled score;
the distinguished visitor was very gra-
cious in his congratulations.
Later on Patillo, still beaming met
the marker crossing the parade grounds
Hello, sergeant, he said, wonder what
the deuce made me miss the target those
first two shots?' Whist, captainr re-
piled the Irishman, drawing close, ''tis

THIS YEAR
PROGRESS OF THE CENTURY

Will Also BE Illustrated in Many
Ways, the Whole Combining to
Form a Magnificent Programme
for Day and Evening-DeIuge of
Band Music, AcrObats, Races and

PEOPLE who are not familiar with the
preparations made by the managers khis
year have no idea of the magnitude
OF the plans for the fair. Everything
will be done on a grand scale and everv
day and every night will prove a sur

brand new things and will illustrate the
progress of the century as reflected In
the growth and development of the
Northwest. There will be nothing old
fogy about it, but it will be a modern
fair, such as will please progressive
people. There is not an hour of the en-
tire week that is not full of good things
and more instruction and amusement is
crowded into every days programme than
would be during an entire week at usual
state fairs.
The same is true of the fireworks. Aside
from the grand spectacle, THE Burning

set off every night would fill up an entire
week of such a show as Pains Pom
