MMAsTER's PRIMARY HISTORY OF THE UNITED
New-York tribune., 1901-06-22

One OF the most pleasing and practicable
branches OF nature study for the average high
school pupil is that which is concerned with
insects. These can be observed more easily
than birds. and larger collections Of them can be
obtained. Moreover. OF the specimens
which the amateur entomologist is able to capt
ure are exquisitely beautiful. In Insect Life"
Professor John Henry Comstock wisely confines
himself TO detailed description OF the princi-
ponds brooks, orchards and forests and
along American roadsides. And while he Is
careful TO emphasize the structural differences
upon which classification depends, he avoids
anything like mere enumeration, and mingies
poetry with technicalty. The usefulness of the
book is enhanced by several chapters on the
collection and preservation OF insects and its
beauty by the colored plates which supplement
the wood engravngs. These are Of unusual ex-
cellence and striking truth to nature
There is still some question as to the extent 70
which mosquitoes are concerned in the propaga-
ton OF malarial diseases and yellow fever Some
investigators hold them exclusively responsible
while others believe that these insects are only
one OF several agencies concerned But even the
latter view OF the case gives to them an impor-
| tance which they did not enjoy a few years ago
IT is especially desirable therefore. to know
which genera have been convicted of this grave
/ offence and which regarded innocent how
/ to distinguish between them and how to deal
with the pests. DR.. l.. O. Howard has treated
all these phases of the subject in his book ON
| Mosquitoes. He is confident that these trou-
blesome creatures can be exterminated complete
| iy with suitable cooperation and diligence. and
al ht.le expense. The stagnant pools wherein
| they breed should be drained or filed up II pos
sible. and such seemingly insignificant but avail
/ able receptacles as tomato cans should not be
permitted to contain water. Petroleum poured
on the surface Of ponds that cannot be obIiter
ated Kills the iarve and prevents the full aeve,
opment Of the insects. The author give. resso,.

leaves and the castor of plant in driving ava,

FILIPINos ARE oBJEcTING.
They AIIege Discrimination I'm Civil
Service Salaries and work.

Correspondents OF the Associated Press.
MANILA, June 3.-There has been much
Filipino criticism OF the recently estab-
lished American eivil-service system srls-
ing fsom the fact that under the system
Filipino and American civil employees are
not paid equal salaries for the work OF the
one IN Spanish and the other I'm English.
The whole matter lies on the question OF
relative usefulness. Civil employees speak
ing English are OF greater value TO their
various departments than are Filipinos.
Furthermore. an American requires
larger salary TO live on here than does the
native. Consideration OF these two facts
led the Civil-service Commission 10 estas-
li<h the increased salary for the Americans.
Filpinos declare that the civil-service en-
ployes speaking Spanish should receive the
same pay the man speaking English.
The civil-seryice commissioners say that if
they pay Americans the same wages they
offer Filipinos, the various civil depart
ments would at once be without competent
help, as Americans would not work for the
money offered Filipinos. The Filipinos
argue that determinations are made
against themselves.
I'D TO the present time no Filipino has
taken the ciVil-scrvice examination I'm Ems
lish, although numbers are rapidly learning
that language. Filipino civil employees
ignorant OF English. have of necessity been
given minor employments. 10 this a num-
ber have objected az beneath their dignity,
and have resigned. Up TO the present time
$40 applicants for civil employment have
aminors in English. and OF this number 29(
passed. Six hundred and fifty-two similar
applicants have been examined IN Spanish.
and OF these 29l passed.
