that most Of the malarial fever can DC

d little energy"
In the course Of his investigation ne
has studied the mosquito most thor
oughly. His treatment Of the Insect Is
quite remarkable. The most striking
machine which he uses to facilitate his
research is a guillotine, which cuts the
insect into sixty distinct and separate
sections so small that every minute de-
tail can be studied under the micro
scope.
In order to do this the body OF the
insect is hardened by successive treat
ments with various kinds Of acids and
spirits. 1t is then plunged In melted
wax. When this wax cools 1t sets hard
around him and enables the keen blade
Of the guIllotine to cut him into the
most minute shayings. each Of which
can he mounted and then examined
under the microscope.
In this way the minute stomach OF
the insect is STUDIED carefully, and the
deadly microhe which he keeps there
discovered and examined.

In q Vacuum All Fall Alike Not Sc
in the Atmosphere.
The old-time query as to which OF
the two, a pound of lead or a pound OF
feathers, dropped from the same height
at the same time, would first reach the
ground, seems ever new. Some one
propounded it to the wise man Of the
Scientific American last week, usins
instead Of lead and feathers an ounce
and tone of iron. And this is how
the wise man responded:
This matter was put to the test Of
experiment by Calico ut the Leanins
Tower Of Pisa in the seventeenth cen
fury, with two balls of lead, weighing
one and ten pounds respectively. The
followers of Aristotle had taught fol
centuries that the balls would fall il
proportion to their weights, the heav.
Ter one falling the faster. Calico point
ed out the fact that the lighter one
would reach the ground first because
the air would resist the fall of the
larger one more than 1t would that of
the smaller. He had previously dem
onstrated the law of falling bodies that

ity is independent of the mass of the
body. Experiment confirmed his posi-
ton. The small ball reached the earth
first. In n vacuum all bodies fall with
the same velocity through any distance
AS a practical statement, it may be
taken as true that small dense bodies
will conform to the theoretical laws
falling any distance less than 200 feet
in the atmosphere. But with an ounce
and ton there would be a perceptiblt
difference. The ounce ball would fal
the faster. Facts like this are now
adays demonstrated by even elemen
tary students in almost every class il

Recently the New York Evening Post
advocated the formation Of bible
trust" to stop the loss to publishers in
that demoralized department of the
book trade. The Publishers Weekly
SCOTS at the Idea, and then goes ON to
tell why the prospects for a book trust
of any kind are unlnviting. The abject
failure Of John Lovell's scheme and the
thorny path of the school book trust
have proved to the most ambitious pro.
motors that any attempt to organize
the whole publishing business would be
folly. The school book trust controls
the text books of less than ten houses
The houses are important ones, and
their output constitutes the bulk of the
educational trade. but the trust Is now
rlvaled by two great competitors. while
no less than 10 hostile firms keep up
never ending war against 1t. If this
Is all the success that can be obtained
by trust confined to one snug corner
OF the publishing business, It Is appar
ent that an attempt to consolidate the
general publishers must be task be-
fore which even the nerve OF the pro-
fesslOnal trust promoter has need to
quail. AS long as writer's continue to
Increase and as long as printing ma
terials ara as cheap as they are now,
the chances of publishers trust will
be both dim and remote. The fact is
one on which the reading public is to be
congratulated, though It must be adj
mitted that a trust to control and limit
the output might not be an unmixed
evil at time when "most OF the books
are not worth the pulp they are made
Of"
