DIES or MOSQUITO BITE TEST.
American Nurse ssyictm Of yellow Fever
Experin,eats IN Cuba.
!srsessi css,. Dssraieh 10 THs ST.,

sperisf Cats Desnlfeh 10 THE Sus.
HAVANA, Aug H-Clara Mas, an
American nurse at Las Animas. died to-day
Of yellow fever caused by the bites Of two
mos qui,oes She had been bitten several
times before without showing any effects.
This gives an average Of three deaths
out Of ak experimental cases lately Of per-
sons bitten by mosquitoes. These expert
ments have been carried out by the Yellow
Fever Board and have had nothing to do
with the tests Of DR. Caldas. who Ia carrying
ON his own experiments with a man In
oculated with his serum and who was bitten
ON Thursday. The work Of DIR. Caldas is
being merely supervised by the Yellow
Fever Board. which refused 10 Join In his
tests for reasons which have already been
stated.
The experiments we're made 10y the Yellow
Fever Board. the theory having been
propounded that the virllence Of a case
depends upon the number Of mosquitoes
biting a person. This. however. does not
appear TO be borne out by the results Of
the experiments.
Every person who allows himself or
herself to be bitten receives 500. The
doctors say no more OF the patients bitten
in the experiments are ia danger
Mis- Mas was about Is years old
and was graduated about Ave wears
ago from the Newark German Training
School for Nurses. She joined the Red
Cross nurses in the Spanish American
War, did duty in the camps at Jackson-
vile, Savannah aud Cuba, and was in
Manila for few weeks. She was the

PREVENTS ELECTROLYSIS.
Discovery That May Render Vagrant
Electric Currents
Harmless.

The injury caused by the fugitive
electric currents upon gas and water
pipes in Chicago and other large cities
where electric street railway systems
are so widely difused and electric light
ing is well-nigh universal has engaged
the attention of many scientific men
throughout the country. The evil is NOT
so serious nowadays as it was several
years ago. Modern methods of provid-
inc for the return of the current have
1essened its vagrant disposition. New
ertheless, the trouble continues to some
extent.
In ST. John, N. B., it has been the pFae-
tice for. nearly half a century to close
the joints in city water pipes not with
melted lead, as in most other places,
but with pine flags, The experiment
was tried in 1851, and again in 1857. On
both occasions it worked SO we'll that
the same policy was pursued two years
ago.. The objectiin view was merely to
secure economy. But mention Of the
fact reminds the public of the insulat-
ing qualities of wood and of the propo-
sition made last year by Harold P.
Brown that two or more lengths of
wooden pipe be introduced into the
mains in every district where trouble
