The first active step in the war on
the famous-or infamous-Jersey mos
quitoes was taken last month. when
simultaneous attacks were made upon
several points of their breeding
grounds. The Hackensack meadows
and the marshes about the Oranges
have always been prolific sources of
this insect pest. Under the direction
of the entomologist OF the Department
Of Agriculture at Washington, the sur
face Of the water in the marshes was
treated with kerosene. The applica--
ton will be renewed several times
during the summer. Success will be of
the greatest benefit to public health.
but the determination Of the Jersey
mosquito will rob the humorist of one
of his dearest treasures.

A couple of fishermen went out from
Ell Dorado, Kan. They had a Jug of
pretty good whisky and six-shooter.
with which they intended to shoot at
a mark In case the fish might not bite.
They left their equipment on the bank
OF the creek while they went away to
hunt boat. When they returned
they found this note pinned to the grub
basket: Dear Gents-We have taken
your jug and pistol. We didn't want
the pistol, but thought you might be
thirsty enough to follow us uD and
shoot for the drinks"

Lake Baikal is a remarkable body of
water lying in longitudinal trough
on the edge of the central Asiatic pla-
teau. whose surface is 1900 feet above
the sea with which IL Is connected by
the Yenisei river after flowing across
the northern plains OF Siberia for a
distance OF 1000 miles. A most curl
Gus fact. long known to scientific men.
is that this lake Is occupied by a spe-
cies of seal almost identical with those
found in the Arctic ocean. The same
species, with slight variations are also
found in the Caspian sea. but not any
where else along the 5000 or 1000
miles which separate these bodies Of
water The most probable explanation
OF this fact, and the one usually ac
cepted by scientific men Is that these
species of seal were thus widely dis
tributed during continental subsi-
denee in which the waters of the Arc
tic ocean covered all of northwestern
siberia and extended ND to the base
OF the great Asiatic plateau which we
followed for such long distance on
elevated shore lines of Turkestan. says
McClure's Magazine. When this de-
pressed area emerged from the sea, Il
left the seal isolated in the two great
bodies OF water which still remain on
It's former margin. So lately has this
taken place, that there has not been
time for any great change to be effect
ed In the specific characteristics of
these animals.

A citizen OF Buffalo has just won
his case from subscription book con

that the edition was to be limited 10

just one OF thousand out OF seventy.
odd millions in the United States TO
be enyied the possession Of the BalEaC
sets. He learned afterward that there
were two other limited editions OF
the same work. that all three editions
were printed from the same plates
on the same quality OF pa
per and differed only in the
illustrations and the color Of
the binding The Buffalo purchaser
commended chat the publishers had vio-
lated their contract with him and re-
fused to complete his payments for the
set. Whereupon the publishers brought
suit to recover. The case has just
been tried in the municipal court in
Buffalo and has been won by the de-
PENDANT the court holding that a mere
color of the binding did not constitute
new edition, and that the defendant
was the victim of a breach OF contract.
This was good law and correct re-
suit. The tricks OF the subscription
book publishers and their agents are
many. When man finds he has been
cheated he should resist. The courts
will protect him.-Utica Observer
