The MOSQUITO

Heretofore fine scenery, coolair good
food and pure water have been looked
upon Ms the main things in choosing q
summer resort, but If the medical men
are right freedom from mosquitoes
will hereafter be the most important
consideration. These insects are TO be
regarded hereafter, not only as an an.
noyance, but as breeder of disease, es-
pecially of malarial fever. 1t is true
that this disease is not so prevalent In
this county as in some parts of Italy
and Spain, where one half of the popu.
lation is affected BY it, nor so deadly as
in India, where according to Surgeon
Major Ross, the British Governments
expert. about 5000. 900 people are kill.
cd by 1t every year; yet unwary tourists
are more or less exposed to it In all
countries, and it is not pleasant to
think OF going to the country in quest
OF health and bringing back instead a
system infected with ague. The
question whether mosquitoes are real
ly responsible for malarial fever is.
therefore. OF importance to the public
at large as well as TO physicians.
Last week the TRANSCRIPT related
how Baltimore physicians are making
scientific experiments on the lines
mentioned, and here is a despatch from
Liverpool of the work in Africa:
LIVERPOOL, Aug. 21.-Major Ross, head
of the expedition of inquiry sent out by
the Liverpool School of Tropical Diseases,
cabled to-day from Sierra Leone:
1.-THE malarial mosquito has been found"
The Major went to West Africa to test
the theory that malaria is disseminated by
the swamp-frequenting mosquito. The
British Government will be asked to send
scientific force to work in conjunction
with him.

Chief or the Department of Publicity
and Promotion OF the National
Export Exposition.

Hal p. Denton, Chief Of the Depart
ment of Publicity and Promotion OF the
National Export Exposition, has been
qualified for the eDacting and arduous
duties Of this position by . long and
varied newspaper experience, In which
he has won we'll deserved distinction.
Although much of his work OF recent
years has been done for the leading
journals of New z York and Washington,
Mr.. Denton is q thorough and enthusi-
astic Philadelphian, having made that
city his home for number Of years,
and having during that time been as,
sociated with its daily papers.
Mr.. Denton graduated from the
printers case in Chardon, Ohio, and
at an early age gave evidence Of being
a born newspaper man. Following
several years experience in the political
field of Ohio and other States, Mr.. Dem
ton went to New York and engaged
with The World, where his success was
almost instantaneous. Later he &C.
cepted an editorial position upon the
Press, and still later, being sought by
the Journal, went to the National
Capital in the interest Of the latter
paper. ID Washington he was we'll
known contributor to the Evening Star.
Prior to the breaking out Of hostili.
ties with Spain, but when matters were
assuming serious aspect, Mr.. Denton
was selected by Mr.. Hearst to 60 to
Cuba upon an important mission.
He performed his work and was about
to return to the United States when
the Marie catastrophe occurred. This
caused him to remain in Havana until
the actual declaration Of war when,
with the other correspondents, he left
the island. Upon returning from there,
he decided to make Philadelphia his
permanent home and took position
upon tLe Record, which place he left
to assume the one he now occupies.
Mr.. Dsnton's extensive acquaintance
with public men the country over is
proving Of inestimable value to him in
his present position and is bringing to
the cordial support Of the Exposition
many II the best known Senators, Con-
grsssmen, Governors and journalists Of
America.

Curious Bird Habits.

II is well known fact that il the
young Of almost any kind Of bird are
taken from the nest, before they can fly

lively il the cage in which the little
birds are inclosed is placed somewhere
where the parents can reach 1t. and a
popular but erroneous belief is current
that they do this for time. and end
by poisoning the young ones.

being that at certain stage Of young

able to begin catering for itself, the
parent birds. also quite naturally, cease

as to the words ''lunch" and 'slunch-

there are precedents enough to make q

Marketing Fruit


IA man is judged by the company he
keeps" Fruit appears and sells better
in O clean attractive package. Always
choose clean, light basket, box, crate
or barrel. 1t is little thing, but II
win pay.
The fruit should be picked when
fully colored, and before it has become
at all soft, and handled in the most
careful manner; because every bruise
will start Fermentation, which will
soon develop into dpcayed frnit. =
Let the box or bask be neatly
faced up with the same kind of fruit
that tha wh6.e package cahta as, so
that the grower can warrant it.
There is too much fruit found III lhe
market that has been dishonesty pack
ed. 1t may be box of berries, basket
OF peaches or barrel of apples, yet 1t ia
too frequently the case that we find
some choice fruit on top, and then the
remainder OF the package very poor, If
not entirely worthless. The consumer
feals swindled, and in that he is correct,
whenever he bus such package, no
matter how chesply he may have pur-
chased it. Dishonest packing makes it
more difficult for the dealer to sell good
fruit, and the buyer more or less sus-
picious Of every package.
II the grower would see to it that his
fruit was carefully sorted and placed
in the package the same from top to
bottom, the grower would receive bet
ter prices for all grades Of fruit. For
even small or inferior fruit does not
look SO badly when packed with the
same or a uniform grade. The con.
sumner, also, is not disappointed !, if he
pays low price for an inferior article.
He expected little and frequently gets
more than be thought be would.
Good, sound, honestly packed fruit
will always secure the hest prices, and
the market is rarely supplied with this
kind. Only a few days ago a Chicago
man bought a basket Of what appeared
to be choice Red Astrakan apples.
The top was very nice and beautifully
colored, but the middle and bottom
were hardly ct for any purpose. This
is only one case out of thousands Of
daily occurance; SO frequent, in fact,
that the buyer feels compelled to look
each package through IL he would
know what he is getting. OF course,
there are plenty Of honest growers and
packers, yet 50 much of the dishonesty
packed stuff is on the market that It
Injuries the sale Of all and makes the
customer doubtful Of every package he
buys.
Apples, peaches, pears, etc., full Of
knott, worms and unfit for scarcely any
use are packed and shipped into mar
ket, with the top and allexposed places
in the package so well faced with good
fruit ''that If 1t were possible it would
deceive the very elect. ."-PRoFFssoR
T. Fl. JONES in Natioral Rual.
