C0NQUERING THE MosoUi7o.

How successfully the pesky mosquito has been done on the coast of British West Africa. Under the auspices of
 the Liverpool School of Tropical Medi-
 cine, Major Ronald Ross, who has been
 a leader in the evolution of the mosqui-
 to theory, has just visited the Gold
 Coast to witness the application of the
 theory on a large scale in that fever
 ridden quarter, and is already able to
 report a fair degree of success. Some
 months ago, with corps of experts
 and native laborers, the task of freeing
 the coast towns of mosquitoes and fever
 was undertaken. At Freetown, In
 Sierra Leone, for example, 2.473 houses
 were cleared of mosquitoes and 358
 carloads of empty tin cans and broken
 bottles were removed. The adult pests
 having been destroyed, 1t was sought thus to get rid of their breeding places, as the water left standing in old cans,
 bottles, etc., after rain affords ideal conditions for the breeding of mosqui- toes. Pits puddles and depressions in streets and grounds were filled up, so that there should be no standing water in which anopheles might lay their eggs. Larger ponds, swamps, ditches and the like were treated with petro- leum. The result Is that mosquitoes are no longer found where they recent ly existed in swarms. Newcomers were not bitten once at Freetown, though they stayed a month Our health" the Major adds, "has been perfect, though we have been constantly expos ed to the emanations from turned soil | and to the so-called malarious mists."
 Good work Man, who has succeeded | in ridding the world of most of the | lions and tigers. may yet be able to | proclaim that he is too much | Tor the mosquitoes and fleas.

4 MOTHER.

If Dr. Barton, of Beckenham, Eng land, isn't too enthusiastic concerning the airship he has invented he will be
 able to navigate the air with ease, airship is engaging the attention of the
 English war office. He believes that ing machine and balloon, will be able to reach a maximum speed of thirty miles an hour, and will be equip ped to remain in the air forty eight hours. The conditions of purchase laid down by the government are that the machine shall be able to travel thirteen miles an hour in a calm, and remain in the air two days. Thus, so far as speed Is concerned, Dr. Barton leaves himself very considerable margin, though the staying power which he claims Is exactly the same as that de- manded by the government. The ma chine will be two hundred feet long, it will have lifting capacity of four and half tons, will be propelled by six screw propellers driven by two light petrol engines capable of developing seventy-two horse power, and will carry a crew of three men. Dr. Barton expects the machine will be able to fly without the aid of the balloon, but a gas vessel made of silk will be attached.
 If Dr. Barton can do better than M. Santos Dumont did he will do well, and some other inventor will then do better soon.

# A question which is agitating lola,
 Kansas, is whether or not man who
 lives on farm can set up successfully
 in law suit the plea that his chances
 tor knowledge are so small that he is
 entitled to exemption from the conse- Quence of his own act when he gets the worst of trade. The facts in the caao are that a gas company leased a farm from its owner. Now it is claim sd in behalf of the owner that the city chaps who did the business for the gas company were Smart and wise," while tne farmer was so unsophisticated in Business ways that he was ignorant of the value of the thing which he sold. No claim of fraud is made-only the plea that an innocent farmer needs to be protected against the fellows who Induce him to sell his goods at less than market value.
