MOSQUITOES YELLOW FEVER
Destructive Eject of the Insects Bite
Upon Human Health Scien-
ideally Considered.

A more serious charge than that of
spreading malaria is brought against
the mosquito in Century, the writer
being the chief entomologist of the de-
partment of agriculture.
THE latest news, which comes to us
with the authority of the yellow fever
commission of the United States army,
would seem to indicate that, great as
are the discomforts which mosquitoes
occasion through their tormenting
bites, and great as is their destructive
effect upon human health through the
transfer of malaria, they exert still
another and most maleticent influence
by the transfer of yellow fever. The
immediate cause of yellow fever is still
dispute. Neither the Bacillus y of
Sternlrrg nor the Bacillus icteroides
of Sanerelli now seems to be the
causative organism of this terrible dis
ease, and the true nature of the germ
for il is a germ-disease-is yet to be
ascertained. The experiments of last
summer and winter made in govern
ment hospitals in Cuba show with a
reasonable degree of certainty that
mosquitoes which have bitten patients
suffering with the yellow fever may,
and do, upon biting healthy persons,
convey the disease. In each case, how
ever, it is not Anopheles which is the
active agent in the transfer, but spe-
cieS of CuleX known as CuleX fasciatus,
or CuleX taeniatus, a form which
while it has always been placed in the
genus CuleX, seems, according to Iheo-
bald, the English authority, to present
structural differences of sufficient i'm
portance to warrant the erection of n
new genus called Stegomyia. Should
the careful experimentation which
will follow prove the validity of this
discovery of our army medical men
the true germ of yellow fever will
probably prove to be protozoon-
that is to say, an animal-instead OF
one Of the bacteria--that is to say, q
plant. Possibilities of the establish
ment of such truth are far-reaching
for inhabitants of tropical regions
and its influence upon some of our
new insular possessions will be great"

FUTURE WORLD CENTER.
This Authoritv Says That Puget Sound
II ti.2 lab of the Pacific
Coast Trade.

Great as is the local development in
all parts of the state of Washington,
1t sinks into insignificance compared
with the prospective transcontinental
and oceanic business already heading
for Pugent Sound, says w. d. Lyman,
in Atlantic. Consult again the map,
and note the position that this body
of water occupies with respect to the
world. 1t sounds extravagant now,
but sober and cool-headed business
men, familiar with the facts, believe
that Washington holds the key to the
future commerce of the world. She
stands at the crossroads of the ma
tions, at the confluence of the comnod-
tiles of the four quarters of the
globe. She is the successor of Phoe-
nicia, Carthage, Italy and Eng
land, as the natural exchange point of
all lands. Europe and the United
States are at her back, Alaska and
British Columbia at her right hand,
the tropics at her left, and the orient,
with half the population of the world,
in front. Formerly California was sup
posed to be the natural center of our
western frontage. We cannot dis
credit the magnificent location and re-
sources of that state, but it is true
that Washington is gaining on Cali
fornia by leaps and bounds. This is
due to three causes: First, Washing
ton has five transcontinental railways
in reach, California is under the des-
potism of one: second, the vast de-
velopments of Alaska and British CO.
lumbia have made Puget Sound the
hub of Pacific coast trade; third, and
most important, the route to the
orient is materially shorter by Puget
Sound than by the Golden Gate.

THE LIONS OF VENICE.
Success i'm Deciphering the Mysteri-
Gus Inscription Upon One OF
the Ancient Figures.

A Danish scholar has at last sue
ceeded in deciphering the mysterious
inscription found upon one of the
two stone lions that guard the gate
of the old armory of Venice, says a
Vienna correspondent of the Balti-
more Sun. The inscription encircles
part of the shoulders and TANKS of
letters reminding one of the cunei-
form characters of Babylonian writ
ing. The lions, sculptured by an
Athenian artist of the fifth or sixth
century b. C., were carried from the
Piraeus to Venice by Francesca Moro
SIM after his victory over the Turks
in 1857. The inscription, however,
dates from the eleventh century and
is in Norman script. 1t reads: "Ha-
kon, with Aft, Asmund, and Arm, has
cuptured this port. At the command
of Harold the Long, they levied a
contribution upon the Greeks as a
penalty for their rebellion. Dalk was
absent in distant lands; Egil and
Ragner were on an expedition in
Moesia and Armenia. Asmund en-
graved these runes, with the assist
ance of Asgir, Thorleif, Thor, and
Joar, upon the order of Harold the
Long and despite the vigorous protes-
tations of the Greeks"
History records that Harold the
Long, in 104O, during an expedition in
the Mediterranean sea, was called to
aid the Byzantine emperor, Michael
w., in order to punish the rebellious
Athenians, whom he reduced to
obedience. Two years later he APP
peared before Constantinople, de-
posed the emperor's successor, and
installed the dual regency of Theo-
dora and Zoe, with the former of
whom, in 1856. the Macedonian dynas-
ty of the Byzantine empire ended.
Twenty years later the mighty viking
fell at Stamford bridge in a fight
with his English namesake, only a
few weeks before the battle of Has
tings, which established Norman rule
in England.

TEST WAS TOO EXPENSIVE.
the britfsh Government Would Not
Stand for the Price of Inventor
Maxim's Ammunition

One of the new knights of Great
Britain is an American, Hiram S. Max
i'm, the inventor of the gun that bears
his name. 1t was in recognition of this
invention that the late Queen Victoria
bestowed upon him the honor Of
knighthood
When the Maxim quick-firing gun
was being tested by the government.
with a view of finding out its weak
points, its inventor was asked TO have
10000 rounds fred at the highest pos
sible speed. The experiment was sat
isfactorily carried out, but the chair
man of the committee of investigation
was still dissatisfied.
That's all very well as far as II
goes" he exclaimed. but could you
guarantee your gun to go on firing au-
tomatically at the same rate for, say.
"a hours?"

"And that is?"

pertinent would be something like e5,-

SELLS RABBITS FEET.
Old New York Woman who Is Max
ing Much Money in the odd
Business

Over in HelPs Kitchen lives old Mar
tina Washington, who claims to be
the only dealer in genuine rabbits
feet in New York. Martha doesn't
know just how old she is, but she is
very, very old, and has been in the
business for 25 years, not in Hell's
Kitchen, mind you, for she regards her
present surroundings of mixed black
and white as a step backward in the
social scale; but she has to be where
the dictates of commerce call her. She
is reputed to be quite rich, says the
Herald.
Few of her customers even know
that she bears a distinguished name.
To the public in general she is "Old
Nanny Cottontail." Cheap sports
and gamblers constitute her game.
and they go to the old colored woman
with all the reverence and awe due to
her position as high priestess of
chance.
The left hind foot of rabbit killed
in graveyard at midnight is notori-
Gus as possessing supernatural pow
SA . as a Nlldl III illlSt III ltlCh anu evil

patrons would think of even attempt

bors miss their pet cats they some
times cast threatening looks at Mann

ROYAL TRAIN OF ENGLAND.
The New King VIII Travel In Great
state when Taking IA journey
by Rail.

Heretofore King Edward VII. has
been content to own couple of royal
carriages, one being kept at London
the other at Boulogne, France. which
he was always glad to have a;;ach, .
to any accommodating express, says
the New York World.
The saloon for continental travel is n
rather gaudy affair, painted a daring
yellow and decorated with the prince 5
feathers. His water trips have gen.
orally been made in the royal yacht
Osborne, which, though much less ex.
pensive, is highly more satisfactory
than the new Albert and Victoria.
When the king takes a journey by
rail now he will use the royal train
consisting Of ~ ordinary carriages and
two saloons, which is always preceded
by pilot engine.
The furnishings of the royal saloon
carriages, though somewhat old-fash.
Toned, are very rich. The carpet alone
cost $3.50. The door knobs $3.50. The
curtains are hung down upon silver
poles, suspended upon snail gilt fig.
ures, each Of which cost $50.

the name and other particulars of the
lady there buried, these words follow:
"A virtuous woman is SIS to her hus-
