Major Ross own words: In place OF
our former theories" he says, 1--WE now
possess clear knowledge of how and
where the parasites of malaria live in
external nature, and how and where
they enter us. They do not float free
in the cir or water. as we supposed;
they do not rise in mists and exhala
lions from the soil; they live incased in
the bodies of mosquitoes, from which
they pass into our blood at the moment
when the insect bites us.
1--WE have now large body Of exact
observations to depend upon for our
facts. We can follow the actual para
sites which cause the disease step by
step in their development in the mos
quito, and we can detect them in that
gland of the insect which secretes the
irritating poison injected into us when
she bites US. Finally, we can infect
any number of healthy birds by allow
ing infected mosquitoes to bite Them

THE TWO-HOST PLAN.


THAT these parasites should be able
to transfer themselves from q man to
a mosquito and back again may. how
ever. be looked upon as being too won
derfua for credence. As a matter OF
fact, it is nothing exceptional. We
have long recognized that many para
site animals require for their complete
development to live in two hosts. Thus,
for few out Of many known instances,
the common tapeworm passes its earlier
stage in swine, and then goes On. when
swine,s flesh containing it is eaten, to
its adult stage in human beings. So
with the parasites OF malaria, man Is
the intermediate host. and the mos
quito is the definitive host. as 1t is
called, and there is nothing extraor-
binary in these facts except that the
instance is the first of unicellular
behaving in this manner.
THE PARTICULAR OFFENDER.
A fortunate feature of this mosquito
discovery is that apparently one brand
of mosquito harbors the malaria germ.
1t is the genus Anopheles, If any one
wants to know the scientific name. 1t

lives could have been saved in Santa

tions he suggested to the medical au-

be, first, to employ mosquito nets or

ONLY MOSQUITOES RESPONSIBLE
1T is sometimes said that malaria
exists in places where there are no
mosquitoes" says Major Ross, ''and
that people who have not been bitten
by mosquitoes get malarial fever, and
the converse. All l can say is that no
cases OF the sort have yet been SUBJ
stantiated by adequate inquiry, and
that the proof OF the theory is now so
absolute that we are justified in being

general superstition that they existed
at large in the soil, air, or water OF
warm and ill-drained districts, until
Major Ross traced them to the tuneful

amount of disagreeable work in India
that the suspicion was confirmed.

LONDON, August 1S.-Major Ronald
Ross has just sailed away for Africa 70
make the acquaintance OF a mosquito.
II he finds that mosquito and the ac-
quaintance ripens into intimacy the re-
suits will be of the utmost Importance
90 the world, and may be expected to
lead to the defeat of one of the greatest
enemies of mankind-malaria.
Major Ross is comparatively young
scientist, who, after two and a half
years OF failure, digging about in mol
some tropic puddles and subjecting him
self to danger from all sorts of germs.
has discovered that the mosquito is the
source of malaria. Other scientists
laughed at him at first until Professor
Koch, of consumption germ fame, and
