Even more convincing were the ex-

ceiling to door ran a double screen of

room at the other side of the screen

developing any symptoms of the dis

room containing the mosquitoes and re-

ease. Thus again it was demonstrat-
ed that the mosquito acts as the We

Still there was much to be done in
the study of the infected insects and
of the development of the fever
through the agency of their bites. A

They don't take that into consider

look on yellow fever as we do. To them
1T is almost an inevitable thing. They
figure that they've got to have il

But If it is a temptation to the Gu
bans, there are others who undergo the
test in a spirit of the highest self-sac-

ence. OF this class was Miss Clara
Mas, the Red Cross nurse who died
of the fever late in August. She work
ed through one yellow fever epidemic

she volunteered for the mosquito test.

On March IS she was bitten by the
mosquito "Yergara," which had been
infected by biting Santiago Vergara.
His case was a bad one and he was
dying when the mosquito took the i'm

ter "Vergara" bit Miss Mas. She
was taken i'll and had a light case of
the fever. Later she was bitten again,
as the first attack was not regarded
as conclusively immunizing. A viru-

she died. "Vergara has bitten several

private apartment-it is only the fe-
male mosquito that imparts the dread

1t is now an established fact that
Yellow Jacks emissary is a certain
species of mosquito, Stegomyia fascia-

mercury the pestilence would soon die
out, for. so far as can be ascertained,
no other living creature becomes in

confirmed than the medical authorl-

their menagerie of these insects, and
the work has gone on ever since. The
population of the mosquito laboratory
depleted by deaths, by disease, acct
dent or old age, was supplemented by
the capture of new specimens, who had

put her in a small Jar, treated her

effort to set the broken wing. But she
