MOSQUITO CONGRESS
WAS IN VAIN.
III Spite of the Efforts of the London
Scientists the Pest Has Not
Been BaniShed.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
mosquito congress met in England last
year and, at great expense, attempted
the solution of the mosquito mystery.
with a view to the determination of the
pest, the little animal has returned for
the season without change in habits or
Manners; and the suffering summer
world will know no more about him
than it did before the learned gentle
men met to study his habits. The Sc
cret of his poison is, to an extent. UNI
known; nor is it known by what man.
ner and means he can be kept away
from the habitatiOn of man.
1t has been found that the glands in
the mosquitoes head secrete a deadly
poison known to science as strychnine.
And strychnine is one of the most pow
erful of poisons. Less than one drop of
pure s~trychnine in your blood will kill
you instantly.
Now we can understand why we read
every summer of death from mos
quito bites. And now it is small Won
der that horses and cattle which have
become e%ntangled in the underbrush
of forests and swamps exposed to the
incessant stoings of mosquito" eve poi
soned to death.
The poison of the mosquito is a sour,
clear liquid, which the insect carries
in poison glands back of it's head. Its
purpose, it has been determined, is to
aid the insect in procuring blood by
causing a sharp irritation of the flesh
which will draw blood to that point
from the surrounding veins.
Thus the poison of the mosquito Is
inserted into the flesh of the victim
as soon as a puncture has been made
in the outer skin. It's effect in dra W.
ing the blood to the point where the
insect is at work are immediate, but
the full force of the irritation is not
felt until some time afterward, when
human blood has gone away.
THE BITE.
The irritation that then sets up in
the wound is of the most painful de-
spreads until it is finally distributed
throughout the system by the circula-
tion of the blood. Every MOSQUITO bite
therefore adds a certain quantity OF
poison to the blood and to the system
of the victim, and repeated bites from
mosquitoes cause the blood to becom.
heavily charged with venom, with g
consequent weakening of the system
and acceleration of the action of thu
heart.
There is much more Of this yirulen
poison in an able-bodied MOSQUITO thar
one would imagine. BY an accurat,
method of calculation it has been de
termined that one hundred mosquito
contain about one drop of the poison
This quantity would be quite suficien
to cause death. SO virulent is the poi
son and so powerful and direct in it
action.
From twenty-five mosquito bites an,
child is likely to die, and even a mucj
smaller number would be quite sufi
cient to cause death If The child wa
weak.
Heretofore It has been considere,
that deaths resulting from mosquit
bites were caused by blood poisoning
Blood poisoning Is one of the accom-
paniments Of such deaths, but the rea
cause of death is the virulent poisol
injected into the veins by the insect.

Large swelings came on my boys neck under
his ears. In the spring they grew worse, extended
down to the collar bone, and finally became a large
scrofula sore. My brother had been cured of scrofula
by Hoods Sarsaparilla, and it had also cured one of
my other children of a bad case of salt rheum. l
therefore began giving Hoods to this boy for scrofula.
and in a short time the sore commenced to heal from
the inside and it continued until now a slight scar is

THE SOFT NOSE SHELL.
A Formidable PrOjectiIe - InventOv
Explains the Principle on
Which 1t Works.

james w. johnson, member of the
firm of Isaac G. Johnson & Co., of
Spuyten Duyvil, inventors of the John
son soft nose she'll, explained how the
soft shell cap enables a projectile to
pierce armor-plate.
Il think" said Mr.. johnson, that
the action of the soft steel cap may be
illustrated by a simple experiment. If
you would try to drive a single nail
through piece of sheet-iron the nail
would bend. But ii you first drive u
nail through a piece of hard wood you
will penetrate the sheet iron.
THE soft nose, in other words, pre-
vents the proiectile from CHANGING off.
Its whole force is concentrated at the
point. In one of the tests made at
Indian Head we fired a projectle at
the armor plate at an angle of 81 de-
grees. No sooner had the soft nose
touched the plate than the proiectile
turned at n right angle to the plato
and penetrated it. The cap or soft
nose also acts as a kind of lubricant
to the she'll"
The Indian Head test was conduct
ed several weeks ago in the presence
of navy and army ordnance experts.
A six-inch Krupp plate was used as a
target and the firing was from a six
inch rifle. Ordinary armor-piercing
projectiles were fired at the plate,
and, as expected, went to pieces on
the target.
Then the same kind of she'll. but
with the new cap, was fired, This cap
is known as the johnson soft nose.
1t is not pointed like the ordinary ar
mor-piercing cap, but has rounded
end. The johnson cap is called soft
because it is composed of a metallic
substance much softer than the
plate. the descriptive term being COM
parative only.
The firing piece was not more than
1000 yards from the plate when pene-
tration was acquired. no attempt to
demonstrate the effect of the shell at
long distance being deemed advisable
at the first experiment. Two shots
were fired at the target with pro-
jectiles fitted with the johnson cap,
and both of these went through the
plate.
The Krupp plate was made for the
Russian battleship being built in Phil
adelphia. but how the navy departments
got it is a mystery. The United States
government has not contracted for
any Krupp armor and cannot get it
for experimental purposes from the
companies which make it.
