naldo made up his mind that It would be
necessary 10 fight the Americans, and
after the making Of the treaty OF peace
Mt Paris this determination was strength
ened. He did not openly declare that he
intended to fight the Americans, but he
excited every body, and especially the mil
itary men, by claiming independence, and
it is doubtful whether he had the power
to check or control the army at the time
hostilities broke out.

There was general satisfaction that the
Americans had come at last, and condi-
tions seemed favorable for an American

the result the work was continued at
Parapaque and Las Pinas, with similar
good RESULTS.
At the request OF Gen. Lawton, who
had been assigned to this work by Gen.
Otis, the commission prepared a simple
scheme OF municipal government, similar

liberty after being disarmed and fed. Up
to the time of our departure, although
numerous spies had been captured, not a
single Filipino had been executed. Such
wrongs as were casually committed
against the natives were likely to be
brought to our attention, and In every
case that we investigated we found a
willingness on the part Of those in author
ity to administer prompt Justice"
The commissioners give general view
of the value of the islands, their richness
in agricultural and forest products, their
mineral wealth and their commanding
geographical position. They state that
the Philippine Islands should soon be-
come one Of the great trade centers of
the East. Manila is already connected
by new steamship lines with Australia,
India and Japan, and she will become

A tiny mouse that seems to have its

up quarters in bulk window on Chest

this particular mouse does a valuable
service to the firm by spending its time
in catching the flies that are unwise
enough 10 come within reach. Every
evening after the store has been closed
and the clerks have gone home crowd
gathers on the pavement outside and
watches the little fellow capture the
unwary flies. 1t is a wonderful per-
formance, and so quick of movement
and keen OF eye is the mouse that a
fly rarely escapes that it springs for.
The mouse's mode is simple and ef-
fectual. From crouching attitude
it waits until a fly comes close enough,
then it straightens upon its hind legs.
the two front paws, like tiny hands,
are thrust upward, and the unwary fly
is clutched and brought down. After
that the mouse eats the fly and then
gets ready to catch another.

MALARIAL MOSQUITO
Points About the Kind That Com
municates the Disease.
Facts AsceFtained by Scientific In
vestigation Which May he OF
Value 10 Members OF the
Human Family.

1t has now been pretty weh estab-
lished that the microbes or parasites
which are found in the blood Of human
victims of so-called "malariaf' diseases
are also found in some mosquitoes.
And il appears TO have been uemon-
strated that certain stages of the de-
velopment of these microbes occur out
side the human body. 1t is yet to be
proved that the mosquito affords the
only other domieile required for this
part OF the parasites career. But just
now that insect is the only living crea-
ture against which completely in the
crime is proved Hence just now scores
Of experts are deyoting great deal OF
study to the relations which exist be-
tween malaria and mosquitoes, says the
New York Tribune.
For time this subject was comDh-
Gated by a curious contradiction On
the one hand. the microscope revealed
the presence of the now wellknown
parasites in mosquitoes; and mos
quitoes that had been infected were
made TO communicate malaria to hu-
man subjects. On the other hand. GER
tain neighborhoods which abounded in
mosquitoes were found to be prac-
Gcally free from malaria. and thou
sandx OF persons have been bitten by
such insects without suffering from
malaria. Dr. Manson and Surgeon
Major Ross. two prominent British in
vesugators. at length discovered that
one kind of mosquito was actively con-
cerned in the business and another
kind was not This. Of course, put the
matter In an entirely new light. and
has led to o more careful observation
OF the distinguishing marks Of mos
quitoes-
The mosquito most abundant in
some localities is known 10 the scien-
lists as the "culex pipiens." This
genus has now been acquitted OF any
share in the dissemination OF malaria.
The parasites are sometimes found in
Il. but the bite Of the eulex somehow
does not seem TO produce malaria in
human subjects That il can and does
communicate microbes to birds seems
TO be partially proved. But so far as
men and women are concerned. moth

known consequences OF mosquito
bite is to be expected from the culex.
The nlis9uito which does all the mis-
chief. so far as is known at present,
is the anopheles pronounced "an-off-
e-leze." with the accent on the second
syllable). And ii is very desirable TO
tell them apart. Eventually it may
prove that the suppression OF the
anopheles viii rid region of malaria;
but II that were true il would be tool

in fighting The culex.
In recent address in this city DR..
L. 0. Howard, chief fentomologist ofthe
agricultural department in Washing
ton. pointed out several differences be-
tween the two. First, as to their wings.
Those of the culeX are practically with

anopheles bear dark, irregular patches.

which are not so well defined as those
of a butterfly, but which are easily
recognized if the two insects are
placed side by side. Then there are
their feelers, or "palpi." These are two
in number and stick out forward from
the head, one on each side of the pro-
boscis. Those of the culex are short
and insignificant, while the palpi of the
anopheles are nearly as long as the
proboscis. Thirdly. the two mosquitoes
have different way Of resting on the
wall Of room when quiet. The body
of the culex is parallel with the wall,
whereas that of the anopheles sticks
out at an angle. If he is on the ceiling
his body will seem to stick out at
right angle. The hum of the culex is
little shriller than the note of the
anopheles. The difference in pitch is
about equal to four tones of the musi-
cal scale. Finally, it appears that the
anopheles Is chiefly active at night and
is given TO repose by day. Other points
Of dissimilarity have been observed in
the eggs, larvae and pupae. But these
need not be dwelt on here. 1t would
require an expert TO detect them. The
means already described, and especial
ly the first three, will be found the
readiest and most convenient for dis
tinguishing the two insects. And a
study Of mosquitoes from this point OF
view is likely to prove fascinating
and profitable pursuit to a good many
young people this summer.

SURPLUS RESERVE VERY Lew

As has been predicted all the week
the surplus reserve on Saturday was ex-
ceedingly small, only $2,688, 1926.
Every feature surrounding the imam
cial situation is full of positive inferma-
tion concerning improvements to take
place or that are now in progress. The
immense quantity of new railroad lines
to be constructed ought to arouse indus
try in every part of the United States
because railroad builders in new Sec
tions must have food, clothing and
shelter provided, in addition to the lum-
her. rails. ties and iron work must be on
hand as the new road progresses. Every
DAY furnishes evidence of the existance
of an enormous latent demand. The
projected construction of two very large
steel plants in Canada, which are to be
built to cultivate an export trade, are
two big straws pointing in the direction
trade is taking. ~,
The prospects are that there will be
heavy orders for steel rails for new rail-
road construction just as soon as rail-
makers find themselves in position to
accept new orders. 1t lis clear that much
more railroad building will be done this
wear than last.
Remarkable headway is being made
in Alabama mining, iron and steel max
ing. Out of 20,071 coke ovens in Con-
nellsville coke field, only 474 are idle,
the smallest number ever known. The
output during the past week was 2ll,72S
tons, and prices have reached So 30 to S4
per ton for furnace coke and $4.25 TO
"a. so for foundry COKE
The improvement must be aecribed IN
the main to the wonderful activity ana
prosperity of all our industries, under
which the volume of both the freight
and the passenger traffic OF the roads IS
being steadily and largely expanded.
1t will be seen that the surplus reserve
above the twenty-five per cent. required
by law is So, 6S6, 425, or $3.50, $50 less
than 1t was for the previous week. In
the corresponding week of last year,
there was surplus of. $40, ,074, l75.
