A PLAN TO KILL MOSQUITOES.
Eucalyptus and Castor OIL Trees to
BE Planted i'm Havana.

The sanitary department Of Havana has
adopted a new plan of campaign against
yellow fever and incidentally the mos
quito. Some time ago, following closely
upon the announcement Of the commits
sion appointed to investigate the cause
Of yellow fever that mosquitoes were re
spcnsible for the spread Of the disease,
orders were issued by General wood that
large quantities OF kerosene should be
placed in stagnant pools to kill the young
mosquitoes. IT is now proposed TO drive
them from Havana by planting Eucalyp-
tus trees.
4 recent report from General Wood
shows that he has approved the appro-
priatlon Of 81 ,OJO to De used by the chief
surgeon Of Havana in the planting Of
these trees in all Of the marshy and ma
larial districts in and around the city.
1t is claimed by the sanitary department
that the odor of the tree viii drive the
insects away from its vicinity The saui-
Iary department is also considering the
advisability OF purchasing large guam
tity OF the seeds Of the castor oil plant
for distribution to number OF the
smaller municipalities. Mr.. Plumacher,
United SttteR Consul at MaraCaiDo, some
time ago reported TO the Department Of
State. suggesting the use of the castor
oil plant as a remedy against mosquitoes.
lie said:
I'm cold and temperate climates the
castor oil plant grows to height of four
or five feet: in these countries IL becomes
a tall tree and is perennial 1t seems that
the smell Of the plant is disagrseable to
MOSQUITOES and other insects, and IL is
an acknowledged fact that where these
plants grow few mosquitoes viii be found.
My personal experience bears this out.
My residence is surrounded by plantain
and banana trees, and / have been much
troubled in the past by the great numberf
of mosquitoes which gathered between
the leaves. Following the example of old
settlers in the country. / planted the
castor seeds. which grew up IN profu-
sion, and there are no mosquitoes to be
found among the plaintaiD and banana
trees, although ! keep the ground well ir-
rigated. BY keeping branches and seeds
of the plant in rooms the mosquitoes are
driven away from the latter"

DAMAGES FOR KNOBS DEATH.
Canada May Act If the Facts Are rs
stated

OTTAWA, March 9-The Minister of
Justice the Hon. David Mills, was asked
this morning if the Dominion Government
would be likely to move in the matter OF
the lynching Of John Knox, a Canadian,
by mob in Scranton, Miss.
Without definitely answering the ques-
tion the Minister, speaking generally, says
it is always possible to claim damages
against a State for the failure of its Off
GERS to do their duty, and cites as an Illus
tration the case of the Italians lynched
nj New Orleans, when the Italian Gov
eminent made and enforced a claim for
damages against the Government of the
United States.
In that case the officers Of the latter
Government were held to have failed to
do their duty. If the facts in the Scran-
ton case are as stated the possibility OF
a claim exists.

of motion was converted into molecular
energy or heat. This is the most prob
able theory. Another is that the light is
due to some peculiar activity at the sur
face Of the star.
The discovery of this star is OF great
Importance. because il is the first time
such a phenomenon has occurred since
the spectroscope and other modern SCI
entiiic appliances were perfected. Prof.
T.. Frost, who is taking observations at
the Yerlles Observatory, may get enough
data to enable him to explain the whole
class Of appearances TO which it belongs.
