DAMP Observation-Disclosures mer-
chants are still complaining of the bad
condition OF most OF the wheat received
here from the surrounding country.
Dry wheat, they say, can be easily
moved, while that in a damp condition
gives much trouble. The receipts are
increasing daily, and farmers who wish
to find ready market for their cereals
will consult their interests by seeing
that they are sent to the merchants 10

THE GOOD NEWJERSEY MOSQUITO
HE DOESN'T BITE, NOT HE; 1T IS ONLY
THE WICKED VISITORS FROM NEW
YORK STATE.

The mosquito has received quite his due amount
OF attention lately, and the world has learned to
look eagerly forward to his determination, ana
that of malaria and yellow fever at the same time
But one Of the most bewilderirg statements about
mosquitoes which have yet been noted was that
contained in a report published yesterday of an
address given by Professor John B. Smith, New
Jersey State Entomologist, that the NeW-Jersey
mosquito did not bite at all
New-Jersey people have always been sensitive
about the stories OF mosquitoes told BY visitors 10
their State and they have always maintained that
the bite of the local insects did not hurt much II
you kept your whole piazza swathed in netting and
used other means sufficient keep them absolutely
from getting at you. But Professor Smiths an
nouncement looked if he had allowed MS loyalty
to run away with him. for it could not be believed
that he was deliberately trying TO raise the price OF
real estate in the parts Of NeW-JeTsey adJdcehI 'o
Neu-York City.
Fu. as one read on in the report Of the address
IL became more clear The mosquito which is
most conspicuous IN New-Jersey is not, accordihg
to Professor Smith, the New-Jersey mosquito fhe
only sirnon-pure New-Jersey mosquito is an inno-
cent little creature which lives in the pitcher plant
presumably subsistng cream and maple syrup
While the pestiferous mosquito which infests Ger
tain portions of the State is only nterloper from
long Island 1t would be about the same sort of
statement If somebody Should say that Americans
we're sayages, and should then explain that by
Americans he meant red Indians, the Whlte people
now inhabiting America being Europeans
With A further examination Of Professor smith :
words the Importance of the disclosure seems 10
grow still less For all that he actually says Is:
s.rrv as | would. I could not get one OF them 10
bite me Does that prove anything? What mos
quito in New-Jersey woud bite Professor smith !!
Is il TO be assumed that mosquito would not pite
anybody. lust because It would not bite the State
entomoleSist? Even the mosquitoes In NeW-Jersey
know more about politics than that
