MOSQUITOES IN PARIS.
A Plague of Insects in the Capital of
France.

Every year the mosquito plague seems
to increase in the French capital, and
Professor Blanchard has again made a
communication to the Academy of Med
icine on that subject. especially concern
ing the possibility of the propagation of
diseases by those insects. He calls to
mind the historical facts that certain
towns and health resorts of antiquity
had to be abandoned on account of the
mosquitoes which had invaded them. and
that at the present moment there are
towns and regions which on that account
suffer greatly in their commerce and ex-
tension The complaints concerning. the
multiplication of those insects in Paris
deserve the attention of the Medical
Academy, especially as there is a ques-
tlon as TO whether mosquitoes can trans
init diseases. Professor Blanchard con
tends that no one could affirm it. be-
cause till now none of those insects of
the anopheles species. which are consid-
cred as alone capable of doing so. have
been found in Paris. The anopheles is
a mosquito with large legs and extremely
long wings.
The Paris mosquito belongs to the cuIex
species-that is to say, it is a common
snat. They cannot, however, be regard
ed as completely inoffensve, as they are
capable of transmitting a parasitical dis
ease. the filariose. which. however for
tunately, does not exist in France Pro-
fessor Blanchard, nevertheless, thinks
the Paris mosquitoes are capable of prop
agating leprosy. He gave to the Acad-
envy of Medicine several examples, to
which DR.. Chantemesse added the rela-
ton of other facts he had noted at Con-
stantinople, tending to prove that lep-
rosy is, perhaps only contagious during
the night. However that may be, and
admitting that the Paris mosquitoes do
not constitute danger for public health,
they are, at least, most irritating, and
their destruction is evidently desirable.
Professor Blanchard contends that the
larva of the mosquito can be destroyed
by pouring petroleum on stagnant water
He thinks that the academy should de-
mand of the public powers, first. the pub

In South Africa, it appears, the larger
mammals are not threatened with early
extinction. Mr.. c. p. Chesnaye reports
that the elephant still exists in large
herds, and it's habit of spending most
of the year in inaccessible swamps gives
it considerable security, while it is like
ly that many specimens will be protect
ed in a game reserve to the east of
Lake Mweru. Rhinoceroses are fairly
numerous, appropriateness abound. The
rinderpest of 1898 swept away vast
numbers of such animals as the buff
falo, Gland and lichi antelope, but re-
covery has been so rapid that in most
districts game of all kinds is very album
dant.

THE HAIR BRUSH.
Breeds Dandruff, Which Causes Falling
Hair and Finally Badness.

Prof. Unna, Hamburg, Germany,
European authority on skin diseases,
says that dandruff is as contagious as
any other malevolent disease and that
one common source of the spread of
dandruff is the use of the same hair
brush by different persons. The way
to avoid catching dandruff or any other
disease from anothers brush is to in
sist on the use of Newbro's Herpicide.
It not only kills the dandruff germ, but
it is also an antiseptic that win prevent
the catching of any disease whatever
through contagion of another's brush.

NEW VIEWS!

Mr.. Melvin Vaniman Is now at the
Volcano, where he hopes to get a photo
which will do the subject justice. His
wonderful photo OF Honolulu, the Iarg-
est direct photo ever made in the ISL
ands. not to mention the smaller, but
not less perfect pictures Of the Pail,
Waikiki Beach, etc., place him in the
front rank of his profession. 1t is not
unreasonable to expect equally good
results from his present trip, which
will include all points Of interest be-
tween Honolulu and the Volcano.
When completed Messrs. King Bros.
who are associated with Mr.. Vaniman,
will have a series Of photos equal to
anything made anywhere, and which
will do more toward advertising the
Islands than any other medium.
Part OF the series are now ready and

A murre, one of the rarest of birds in
this part of the world, as it is a native
of the North Pacific region, was caught
on the bridge Thursday, being stunned
by flying against the wire. Two speci-
mems of this bird have previously been
taken in this State. The murre is a sea
bird, and is sometimes known as the
Observation-Disclosures Reporter-J Journal.
The murre must be abundant on the
coasts, of Nova Scotia and Newfound-
land and adjacent islands, for small
schooners laden with the eggs in bulk
used to come to the market wharf in
Halifax and retail their cargoes. The
eggs are large, the shells white, yellow
ish or blue, with brown spots, and are
not, as might be supposed, fishy in taste.
At least that is the writer's recollection
of them.

1t seems really necessary to say some
thing on that hackneyed theme the
weather. What might be called second
edition of summer, with only slight
lowering of temperature, remained
with us until the fall ploughing was all
done; and then, all at once, came win
ter. The landscape was covered with
snow, the towns were called upon to
break out roads, the mercury went down
below zero, and those who had neglect
ed to put on their double-windows and
storm doors regarded the outlook with
dismav. Meanwhile the absence of the
usual fall rains had caused a drouth.
Ponds and streams and wells were low,
and in some cases it was necessary to
haul water long distance. The drouth
was broken Sunday. Such a down.
pour of rain is seldom witnessed in this
section. 1t came down in buckets full
rather than in drops. There was water
everywhere and to spare. And now,
what next?

OF books about cats there is no end.
Artists have won fame and fortune by
painting portraits of puss, and the once
despised and ill-treated feline now oc-
cupies an exalted position in many a
household. Indeed, if not already so,
we bid fair to become nation of cat
lovers. All the books about cats are
more or less interesting and instructive;
but if you want to know the history of
the cat from the earliest time to the
present day you should read Miss Agnes
Repplier's latest book, '"The House
hold Sphinx" published by Houghton.
Mifflin & Co., Boston. Miss Repplier
is known to wide circle of readers as
the writer of most delightful essays,
and those who have read her tribute to
Agrippina, one of her pet cats, and to
whose memory this book is dedicated,
will know that literary skill and love
for the subject were not wanting in the
making of this altogether charming
