:mosquitoes /:
!: aDd Malaria :

The connection between malaria and
the malaria-transmitting mosquito has
been proved beyond question by the ex.
petitions of the two great British
schools, the Liverpool School of tropi-
cal Medicine and the London School
with the same name, which have been in
vestigating the origin and transmission
of this dread disease. The Liverpool
school has as its protagonist Major Don
aid Ross, and its expeditions have been
at work in the Niger basin. The Lon
don school is carrying out DIR. Patrick
of the pioneers in contending that if a
man in malarial district took care to
avoid mosquito bites he would escape
malaria. To prove his contention the
London school has been carrying on two
experiments this year. The first con-
sisted in placing three men, Drs- L. Sam
bon and e. $. Low. of the School OF
Tropical Medicine. and Signor Terri, in
mosquito-proof hut in a malaria dis
trict in Italy. The place selected was
lf&1A N>Nfd. Vu llt IAOl441u l.
a place that has so evil a reputation for
malaria that TO sleep there is considered
by the inhabitants of Rome as certain
to be followed by a severe attack of fever.
These three gentlemen have, however
lived there for months. They have ex-
posed themselves to every local condition
excepting the mosquitoes They have ia
ken 10 quinine- The only means of pro-
lection they have adopted is to make their
hut absolutely proof against mosquitoes
by means of wire gauze. As these in
sects only attack in the night. the expert
mentors have moved about the country in
the day. but they have always been IL
doors an hour before sunset. and they
have never gone out until an hour after
sunrise. In this way they have escaped
mosquito bites. and while the whole of the
country side Is fever stricken, they have
remained in perfect health
The report was made By Prof. Grass,
who on September 18th visited the resi-.
fence OF the Investigators with several
other men OF science, and gave his tessi-
nony as to the value of the experiment
in the following telegram to Dr. Manson !:
Assembled in British mosquito-proof
hut, having verified perfect health expert

itznts, salute Manson, who first formu-

| more than sixty years. under the date
of August 4. 1900, wrote a letter 70 the
Antigua Standard concerning the British
market for West Indian sugar. Mr..
Hankinson argues that cane sugars have
greater merit than beet sugars and should
be differentiated therefrOm whenever and
wherever practicable. He believes that
the neglect Of cane sugar producers and
cane sugar consumers thus far IN demand
ing that beet sugars should be distinctive

has given them an advantage over cane
sugars, although they lack the intrinsic
sweetenins power OF cane sugar.
Mr.. Hankinson believes that consum-

to form an association for promoting and

This association Is expected 20 acquire

gar from all beet sugars.
We have no doubt bur that If this
could be successfully done thousands q
consumers would prefer TO pay the high

have recently discussed in the Louisiana
Planter the question OF the swcetness
Of sugar and how it could Be determined.
There still seems considerable difficulty
in making any accurate determination.
bat the popular belief ia Great Britain il
that cane sugars are OF considerably
greater value for sweeteniug and uresery-

cane sugars are especially sought for such
purposes.
The sugar planters OF Louisiana are
certainly greatly interested in this mat
ter and IL any proposed plan would prom

pended upon for hearty cooperation

chemical and polarimetric analysis Of
cane and beet sugars indicate them TO Be
identical Is NOT conclusive evidence 20

industrial purposes Many organic
bodies. although composed OF exactly the

however, have been found to differ wide

may yet discover some essential differ

true that many men would find it irksone
to remain indoors all the evening. but
there was nothing attractive out of doors

With regard 10 the experiment upon
