result of the elaborate efforts of the local
veterans. Eighteen water lines ran
through tho camp, with sunken barrels
placed at short intervals for the thirsty
visitors. Two mess tents, 1G0x6O feet in
size; ice cream and suffers tents were
situated at the western extremity Of the
camp. Telephone and telegraph wires
ran overhead to the exact center Of the
camp, where the instruments were stu
ated, and where the postoffice was. Near
by was the bureau of information tent,
with headquarters and officers mess tents
above on the brow Of the hill. Ten tents
for the medical corps and FIVE large hos
pital tents were at the eastern edge Of
the camp, sheltered from the sun by a
clump of spreading trees. Incandescent
lights were suspended up and down the
lines Of tents. while at the intersections
Of the streets or passageways were place
ed the blazing camp fires, where the old
veterans gathered before turning in at
night and fought their battles over again.
An arch was at the west Of the camp
surmounted by flag poles forty-6ve feet
high and the entire structure, built to re-
semble stone work, was covered with
flags and G. A. r. insignia.

The Sydney Journal tells this illustra-

woman whose servant was given to
curiosity:
did the postman leave any letters,
Maryg the mistress asked, on return
ing from a visit one afternoon.
Nothing but postcard, ma'am."

4And do you think I'd read it,
ma'am?' asked the girl, with an In
jured air
Perhaps not. But any one who
sends me message on postcard is
either stupid or impertinent."
you'll excuse me, ma'am," returned
the girl, loftily, 'but that's a nice way
to be talking about your own mother!'

corn area is beyond the danger point. In
another week three-quarters of the whole

It is not remarkable, consequently, that

markable that the corn Spectator should

now well denied by bullets. The out
posts refrained from answering the
FIRE, which was doing no harm, but at
ter every volley at the belfry the sentry
with the rope gave the bell two or three
frantic peals. Believing the outposts
to be still in the belfry and sorely
pressed, the insurrectos crept nearer
and poured in, as they thought, still
more deadly fire. All this time the men
of the outpcsts kept quiet, noting just
where the enemy were. At daylight
our soldiers opened so briskly that six

wounded men with them. The handy

MOSQUITOES Live TWO MONTHS
DIR. Bancroft of Eurpengary Makes a
study of the Little Pests.

DR.. Bancroft of Eurpcngary Makes a
study of the Little Pests.
DR.. T. L. Bancroft, OF Burpengary,
writes an interesting letter to the Aus
tralasian Medical Gazette on the life
history Of the house mosquito, an insect
which recent work upon malarian In
lection has elevated into scientific i'm
portance. This mosquito, 1t Is thought,
has been introduced into Australia
from Europe. Tradition says that
mosquito lives a day or two; that 1t
feeds only once, afterward retiring to
some quiet spot, where the ova are ma
tured, the eggs laid in water, after
which it dies, and that the male mos
quito does not feed, and that 1t Is rare
that it lives seven days after the meal
Of blood. The Investigations of DR..
Bancroft into filarial metamorphosis
TALES exactly with those of DR.. Man
son in respect to the metamorphosis,
except in one important item. DR.. Ban
croft had never seen the actively NOV
ing filaria, or thread-worms, the last
stage of the metamorphosis, but this
he attributes to the fact that mosqui-
toes want to be fed, and that his died
from starvation about the sixth day
and before the filariae had developed.
In confinement 1t is necessary to feed
mosquitoes. Various methods and foods
were tried by DR.. Bancroft with little
success, until ripe bananas were given,
which proved to be suitable; 1t was no.
ticed that male and female mosquitoes
sucked the juice Of the banana almost
every day. 1t was also found that mos
quitoes would live in glass vessels up
to two months; the life Of mosquito
rs therefore not one or two days, but a
month at least, and frequently two
months.
The embryo flariae, DR.. Bancroft
says, when 1t Is taken into the mos
quito's stomach, measures 100 inch in
length by $4,000 inch in breadth; on
the seventeenth day it measures 1-15
inch by 1900 inch, and Is not killed
when put into water. He believes that
water is the medium by which the
young f,ariae are transformed to the
human host, and he suggests that ex-
periments with pardon as reward
should be made upon life-sentenced
prisoners.

President Watches Thirty Thousand
Veterans Marching.

Veterans Marching.
Tuesday was the big day Of the Grand
Army encampment at Philadelphia and
the city was alive at an early hour. The
presence OF President Mckinley increas-
ed the interest, and his drive over the
route Of the parade aroused the greatest
enthusiasm among the throngs in the
streets.
The head of the procession moved at
10 o'clock. The distance covered was five
miles. Independence Hall was passed
during the march, and caps were lifted
and colors dipped by the veterans. The
chorus Of 5000 school children occupied a
portion of the grand stand on the north
side Of the city hall and sung patriotic
airs as the veterans passed. Post No.

the Belmont mansion in Paramount park,
where 5000 veterans occupied tents.
Standing upon the top Of Belmont looking

camp could be secured. Down below

report to the Secretary of War.

them. The commission says that all
classes and conditions of the Porto

to accept American institutions, and to
lie content with them, and in general
they recommend the establishment of
