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

A Plague Of Insects in the Capital Of
France.
Paris Correspondence the London Standard.
Every year the mosquito plague seems to
increase in the French capital, and Pro-
fessor Blanchard has again made a COM
munication to the Academy of Medicine on
that subject. especially concerning the pos
siblity of the propagation of diseases by
mosquitoes. and the means of combating
those insects. He calls to mind the his
torical fact 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 mo-
ment there are towns and regions which
on that account suffer greatly in their
commerce and extension. The complaints
concerning the multiplication of those in
sects in Paris deserve the attention of the
Medical Academy. especially as there is
question to whether mosquitoes can
transmit diseases. Professor Blanchard
contends that no one could affirm it, be-
cause till now noFe of those insects of
the anopheles species, which are considered
as alone capable of doing SO, have been
found in Paris. The anopheles is a mos
quito with large legs and extremely long
wings.
The Paris mosquito belongs to the culex
species-that is to say, it is common gnat
They cannot, however. be regarded as COM
pletely inoffensive. as they are capable of
transmitting a parasitical disease. the
filariose. which, however. fortunately, does
not exist in France. Professor Blanchard
nevertheless. thinks the Paris mosquitoes
are capable of propagating leprosy He gave
to the Academy of Medicine several exam
pies. to which DR.. Chantemesse added the
relation of other facts he had noted at Con-
stantinople, tending to prove that leprosy
is. perhaps, only contagious during the
night However that may be- and admit
ting that the Paris mosquitoes do not con-
stitute danger for public health, they
are, at least most irritating, and their de-
struction is evidently desirable. Professor
Blanchard contends that the larva of the
mosquito can be destroyed by pouring pc
troleum on stagnant water. He thinks that
the academy should demand of the public
powers. first the publication of a pamphlet
warning the public of the possible dangers
connected with mosquitoes, and. indicating
the means of destroying them. and second
ly, the adoption Of the necessary measures
to destroy the mosquito larva in the water
on the public places in Paris.

The Baluch.
From the Geographical Journal.

FROM the 6eOSfdpnicUi SOufuhl
There were Arabs In the west of India
long before Alexander's time, and they
have left the mark Of their colonies in
southern Baluchstan as imperishably as
any that may be found in Rhodesia But
the modern Baiuch usually traces back his
pedigree with great confidence to the tribe
of the prophet, and cares to go no further
In appearance in manners and in disposi-
tion many Of the finest Of the Baluch rep
resentatives are almost typical Arabs of
the town-bred class, such as one may meet
I'm any of the coast towns Of Arabia and
always be glad to meet again. AS a pro-
fessional robber and raider. the Baluch is
In no way inferior to the Pathan but his
methods differ and his standard of ethics
Is undoubtedly higher. The quality of
chivalry is not forgotten by these descend
ants of people who claimed affinity with
the Saracen. and loyalty to the chief of
their clan Is traditional: loyalty to his chief
with the Baiueh takes the place Of the
Pathan's blind confidence in his mulia IL
Is sometimes asserted that the Baluch
tribesman Is much easier man to deal
with politically than the Pathan. This is
certainly true to some extent. for he Is far
more faithful to his engagements when
made, and far more open-minded in the
making Of them. But It Is due to no lack
of the quality Of courage or independence
The success Of the Baluchistan administra-
tion. which for 50 many years has differed

witnessed today In the waters over the
beds off the northeast and northwest
shores OF Margarita. About 1000 natives
and 400 sailing vessels are engaged in the
industry. The long-neglected beds have
had time for recuperatfon, and the gems
fetch a good price in the Paris and other
markets; SO this Is a harvest time for the
natives. who are improving each shining
hour. The Venezuelan government, always
alert to discover new source or revenue,
is deriving considerable advantage from
the industry by taxing all the boats en-
gagged In II. These boats are from three
to fifteen tons In size, and the whole fleet
is on the grounds during most of the day.
light hours.
Back and forth the vessels sail over the
oyster beds dragging big iron scoops which
are soon filled with mud and oysters. They
are then brought to the surface and the
shells are opened and carefully examined.
This is crude and waStefu method of
fishing for pearls The great objection
to 1t is that 1t tears the small as well as
the large oysters from the beds. though
the small shells should be left undisturbed
to grow and increase In value. French
company has just begun fishing with divers
and diving apparatus. which is the pref
erable method. The Venezuelan govern
ment taxes only the boats Of the native
fishermen, but the foreigners must pay q
royalty Of 10 per cent on the profits or
their enterprise.

Remarkable Revival of the Industry
Of the shores of MarEarita Island.

Remarkable Revival of the Industry
Of the shores of Margarita Island.
From the New York Sun.
When the Spaniards landed on the shores
of Margarita Island Off the north coast
Of Venezuela. four centuries ago, they
found the necks of the natives adorned
with strings of pearls. They lost no time
In securing possession of these valuable
ornaments at little expense to themselves,
for the native pearl market was well
stocked and prices were low. Margarita
was one Of the islands discovered by CO.
lumbus In his journey of 1496. The Span
lard were very eager, of course, to dis
cover the place of origin Of the pearls, and
only year later man named Guerra
found the pearl banks off the south coast;
it was not long before other banks were
discovered around the shores Of the island
This new source of pearls was magnet
that drew many adventurers to the island
The neighborhood Of Margarita became
one Of the busiest regions of the Spanish
main. Margarita Is quite a large island
though smaller than Trinidad. Its extrem-
tiles. the larger part Of it, are connected
by a narrow isthmus 50 that it has some
thing the appearance of a dumbbell. For
centuries the fishing grounds Of Margarita
have contributed to the worlds supply OF
pearls. but in recent years the industry
has been almost abandoned. as the banks
seemed to be about exhausted, while the
pearls fell In value that fishing was not
profitable.
The past few months have Witnessed
a wonderful revival OF the industry. Pearls
have advanced in price owing to the fact
that the supply from larger grounds has
fallen OF. The large fisheries OF the north
coast Of Australia, for example. have been
yielding comparatively few pearls, and the
industry is now carried on there, not 80
much for the gems as for pearl shell. or
mother of pearl, as 1t Is known In the
trade. Times had been very dull in Mar
garita for many years. but there Is now
extraordinary activity in the island. Buy
ers from different parts of the world have
gone to Margarita to live on that sandy
and not particularly inviting island. Their
business, OF course, Is to purchase from
the native fishermen the gems they wrest
from the shallow depths around the island.
There are no such lively scenes on the
Grand Banks among the cod feet as are
