attentions and he often professed deep
love for her. Still she did not reciprocate

MOSQUITOES AND MALARIA.
Dr. w. NJ. Berkeley, a professor in the
University and Bellevue Hospital Medi-
cal College has during the past summer,
been making experiments in an endeavor
to learn the secret connection between
mosquitoes and malarial fever. George
Lyons was taken to the hospital on Sep
TENDER 10th shaking with malaria Dr..
Berkeley asked him If he would permit
himself to be experimental on with mos
quitoeS in the cause Of science. The patient
assen:ed. and the doctor then took q num-
Der of hungry mosquitoes and put them
the patients arms. They at once made
an attack and slowly began to fill their
stomachs with blood. After they had
sucked all the blood they could hold the
doctor took them away and has since been
experimenting with them. He has refused
however, to discuss the results of his
experiment. The Herald IN referring to
the incident says:
In paper read before the Congress of
Physicians and Surgeons, in Munich re-
Gently, by Professor Craft On the sub
ject, this matter was gone into at some
length. The mosquito that has sucked
the blood of a person suffering from ma
laria does not fly away and sting some
one else, but goes away and digests the
blood, developing germ in his body.
The digesti1lg process takes from eight
10 ten days. Small transparent forma-
tions then appear on t!Se outside of the in
ssect's stomach. They become developed,
and when the insect st:nSs a human be-
ing the transmission of these germs
through the saliva cause malaria.
It is the formation of the germs and
the gradual change in the insect that is
now being studied by medical men in this
country.
AN EPIDEMIC.
An epidemic Of pink eye is prevalent
in New York and is supposed to have been
caused through the medium of the public

was placed between the eyeball and the
eyelid, causing excruciating pain.

HIS NOSE RUINED HIM.
Thomas c. Colt, the man whose nose
was his bette noire. died at Bellevue Hos
pital yesterday. When he was boy ne
was accidentally struck in the face with
bat. All the wounds in his face healed
save the one on the nose, and that grew
worse and worse. He was taken to the
hospital, where he spent several years,
and in all thirty-two operations were per
formed.
When he was in Bellevue Hospital in
1880 a wonderful surgical operation was
finally performed on Colt by Dr.. Thomas
T. Sabine. A slit was made in the third
finger of his left hand. down to the sec
ond joint. The nail of the finger had
first been destroyed, The flesh was part
ed to correspond to the flaps OF q nose
and this finger was attached to Colts
nasal organ which was gradually dlsap-
pearing.
For seven weeks the patient, with his
head and arm done up in plaster, held his
left hand to his face, while his third 1ingers
transformed itself into a new nose After
the parts had grown fast the hnger was
amputated.
When Colt left the hospital he thought
that all his troubles had ended he de-
voted himself to business and was very
successful. His nose, however, because
of its peculiar appearance, causeo much
