Mosquitoes Of the World.

1--WE are at present busy making g
collection OF mosquitoes from all
parts of the world for the purpose Of
investigating the theory of malaria
being solely contracted from mosquito
bites. and ont of 8 box of 90 from
Malta only about seven or eight were
true mosquitoes. That shows how
widespread error is" said Ernest
Austen, of the natural history de
partment Of the British museum
who knows more about mosquitoes
than ordinary people ever imagined
there was to learn, says the London
Leader.
"And have you come to any con-
clusion regarding the malsrisl
theoryf
"Well, Of course, thst't rather out
Of my province. But | may say that
it has been proved that 1t is undoubt-
eddy contracted from mosquito bites
1t times, and We expect to fad that
it is always so. We have proved that
bird diseases IN India are spread by
the bite OF parasites peculiar to them,
and it is likely We shall learn that
malaria is the result of mosquitoes.
II that is so, the next thing to do
will be to stamp out mosquitoes.
Easier said than done, isn't it,"
queried the Leader representative.
"The pools where they breed must
be filed up-tbey cannot exist with
ont wster-and ere long the mosquito
will take its place with the great aux
and the dodo. And, by the way"
added Mr.. Austen, "if any of your
readers will be kind enough to send
me on any mosquitoes | shall be glad
to see them"

The War With Spain By q spanssrd.

The Office Of Naval Intelligence st
Washington, D. C., has made public
n translation Of 8 history of the Span
ish.American war by Severe Gomez
Nunez ,csptsin OF artillery who served
in the city of Havana during the war.
The war plans of the Americans were
laid in advance, he says, and the
sinking OF the Maine was simply s pre-
text skillfuly utilized by the Amerl-
cans for creating war. 1t Is q fact,
be says, that Spain really had no
squadron worth mentioning. The
blockade Of the coast Of Cuba at times
assumed the character OF q verliaole
farce, he says. Tue Spsnisrds through
their glasses from the batteries OF
Havana could see private tugs OF the
American press and pleasure yachts,
on board Of some Of whoa they could
distinguish lady exoursionlsts exer
cising functions Of igilsnce and even
chasing coastiug vessels. The so
called auxiliary vessels of the Amerl-
can navy, he charges, were identical
with privsteers, and the Spanish ma
ton, be decl 4red, should bravely have
resolved upon privsteeriug The IS
sue Of letters of msrque and reprlssh
by their moral force alone, would
have compelled the United States to
divide her squadron. and in that case,
says Nuuez. "Who knows whether
our detest, If we had to suffer it woul I
not have been less dlsgrsceful 7"
"From Whatever point of view we
may look st this question" the su'
thor says, "the mistake remains APP
parent; there is no possible excuse to
Justify our not taken advantage of
this means OF warfare" Captain
Nunez says the United States cut
cables which are protected by in.
transitional law without protest of
the powers or Europe, who, says,
"seemed afraid of what is called the
Colossus of the North" The exploit
of Lieut.. Hobson and the Merrimsc
he refers to as "the only act which
the Americans have to record in
which heroism was displayed during
this campaign"
