The Mosquito Is Carrier of Disease.

That the mosquito by its sting innOculatcs man
with the germs producing the different varieties
of nalarial fever in tropical countries has been
accepted Il proven fact, and Professor Koch
OF Berlin, after investigating this proposition in
South Africa has expressed his opinion that the
mosquito is undoubtedly the carrier of maaria
fever. Now comes the report of a special COM
mittce read at the recent meeting of the Pan.
American Medical congress in Havana, in which It
is positively asserted that the mosquito is the
sole carrier Of yellow fever and that IL becomes
infected with the disease when singing patient
during the first two days of the disease, while
the insects which sting the patient after that
period OF time do not carry the contagion.
Whether the inhabitants of South America have
been aware OF these newly discoverSd facts, or
whether they only wished to protect themselves
from the annoying stings of the mosquito by
planting castor oil plants around the piazzas Of
their houses is immaterial; the fact remains that
the castor oil plant affords protection from mos
duitoes even in this climate, numerous cN.
periments have proved. The best varieties Tor our
climate are the Rcinus Barhcnicnsis, the Ricnus
Zanzibar and the Rcinus Gibscnii Mirabilis, and
they grow well in ground which is not too rich
and is mixed with sand and gravel, hut they

Literary Don'ts.

The former president Of the Philadelphia
school OF Vocal Art, in one OF his lectures TO
the class in rhetoric, gave the following apt
directions OF what not 10 do in literary com
position:
DON'T begin a sentence with a conjunction
unless it is rejonder in dialogue
DON'T bring the reader up with jerk by
disionting YOUR sentence.
DON'T forget that plural noun requires a
plural in the verb, and that collective nouns
require the verb in the singular
DON'T forget that every good publishing
house ought 10 have a good proofreider whose
business is 10 correct all mistakes in spelling
and punctuation, SO don't bother about either
too much
DON'T use slang, except for effect in dialogue
only.
DON'T mix up present, past and future in your
Sentences,
DON'T repeat the same word or the same
phrase in the sentence or in the same
paragraph, except for the sake OF emphasis,
as in this case
DON'T anticipate your climax but lead tho
reader up to il. In delneating the characters
OF the "pelsonae dramatis," il Is better to let
the reader come to his own conclusion than
to lead him on by a casual remark, anticipating
a climax, to form foregone conclusion.
DON'T put your anticlimaX after the climax.
II should come before.
DON'T use word or expression unless you
know its exact meaning and a test for such
knowledge is; That II you know what the word
means you can give a definition OF it, II you
cannot do so look 1t up in the dictionary, which
should always be at your side while writing. A
Thesaurus OF English words you will find in.
valuable as a book OF reference when you want
an expression which does not come readily to
your mind, and thus saves much time aud
mental labor.
DON'T leave out the conjunctions and other
connecting links in a sentence as otherwise your
writing will read like telegraphic dispatch.
DON'T Use the same careless composition that
so many Of US employ in ordinary speaking,
as this (ooloquialism) Is, as a rule, ungram.
matical and does not read we'll.

Live Young Bearing Fish.

Another illustration is the common belief that
ecls bear their young alive and which has ex.
tended in the imagination Of children to the
implicit belief that young ees may he raised
from horse hair silk threads by burying them
in moist earth, The fact of the matter is that,
like many other animals, the eel frequently
swallows its young after they are hatched and
also that the eel is infested occasionally by in.
tcstinal worms. which somewhat resemble young
cells and are found sknning the fish, There
are, however, several species of fish which bring
their young alive into the world, and Gordon
Smith reports in the 'Field" that he discovered
a new variety in the Gull of Japan, in which he
observed as many as forty.cight fully developed
young fishes closely packed in the abdomen of
one female.
