INSECTS AND DISEASE.
Mosquitoes Spread Yellow Fever-Experi-
ments inI Cuba.

mosquitoes rpreau AeiloW Fever -Exporf-
ments in Cuba.
Twenty years ago. it is said, the the
ory that is creating so much discus
sion today was first advanced-name-
ly, that yellow fever is propagated
by mosquitoes Experiments have
been constantly made during the past
few years with a view toward con-
frming or exploding the theory and
results tend to show that this buzzing
insect is more than a mere annoyance.
A number Of cases where the person
experimental on fell a victim to the
fever might be attributed to other
causes, but in several specific instan-
ces the mosquito bite gave positive in
oculatiOn. A number of experiments
were carried on by the marine hos
pital service during the recent out
break in Mississippi several years ago
and several on the board reached the
conclusion that in all probability the
disease is propagated only through the
bite OF the insect. Many of the army
physicians now in Cuba are urging
that steps be taken to wipe out the
yellow-fever seourge, and they are
convinced that whether or not that
insect alone is responsible for the
spread Of the disease, its part in the
extension Of the disease Is we'll enough
assured to warrant every attempt at
determination. This protection against
the insects with a view to their ex-
tinction is proposed to be gained in
several ways. In the first place the
use Of mosquito nets is to be insisted
upon, especially in barracks and hos
pitals. Then every attention is to be
turned to the destruction Of the larvae,
or young mosquitoes, commonly
known as "wiggletails," by the use Of
petroleum on the water where they
are found. Usually each community
breeds its own mosquitoes, for the in
sect does not fly far. unless it is trans
ported to distant places. as for instance
In cars laden with tropical fruits.
Each town is responsible for its own
supply, which may be found in water
barrels, undrained puddles and such
places. Remedy for their extermina-
tion is an easy one. 1t is said that an
application Of one ounce Of kerosene
10 each fifteen square feet of water
surface once a month will not only de-
stroy all the young, but all grown
as we'll. and the applica-
ion Of oil does not in any way inter-
'ere with the water for laundry or
syen drinking purposes, providing that
he supply is drawn from below the
surface. These recommendations have

Il is a common fallacy that impure

curious facts about bacteria is that
while a single ray OF sunlight will ex-

crease in the temperature around them
Will have the same effect, they are abb
solutely uninjured by any degree Of
cold Boil a liquid containing bac-
terra or bacteria germs and all are
destroyed. though there may have
been millions to every cubic centimet-
er Of the liquid But freeze the liquid
and not one Of them is harmed. To
follow out this question to the furthest
limits. experiments have lately been
conducted with liquid air as the refrig-

it will continue on down as the shaft
gains depth.
To remove boiler scale new plan is
strongly recommended, namely: To

ENLARGEMENT OF THE LoDER
PLANT,

1t has been known for some time past
that two new furnaces for the enlarge
ment OF the Loder Pyritic smeltcr at
Leadville were being manufactured at
the Denver Engineering works, says the
Denver Evening Post of last Monday:
Meeting Mr.. Soaring this morning |
asked him about them. He said: "They
are finished, and will he shipped to Lead.
vile this week. Each is capable of treat.
ing 200 to $50 tons daily, and both are as
complete us the best skill can make
them" This Will give the Lodcr plant
power to handle from 700 to 1000 tons a
day, thereby opening much larger
market for the grades suited to the py.
ritic process than has been available
since the close OF the Bime,allic. As soon
ms possible after the machinery arrives
on the ground they will be placed in po.
sition, and as buildings and other work
for their reception have been done in nd
vapce they should be fired up within the
next sixty days,
