TO KEEP OUT MOSQUITOES
AND YET ADMIT THE AIR.

WRITTEN o THE SUNDAY
The usual summer problem of how best
to keep the mosquitoes and flies out of
your rooms and at the same time to admit
as much air as possible is now open for So
luton.
As the best method for keeping out the
mosquitoes Is. In most cases. the worst one
for the free admission Of the air, discom-
fort from at least one OF these sources
seems almost inevitable.
Probably the best method so far suggest
ed Is one which has been adopted extensive
ly In Southern France.
IT fs the result of the observations Of q
scientist. who ascertained that flies. mos
Quitoes and. IN fact. all winged insects are
afraid to enter an opening. even though It
be several lines their own size. as long
as there Is darkness beyond II.
He soon put his discovery TO a practical
purpose. Cover you open windows with
some cheap netting. made either of white
or light colored thread. with meshes an
inch or more In diameter. The comparative
ly large openings Of the net viii not make
1t any the less effective. but. on the con-
trary. is the chief recommendation Of the
new method.
While the meshes are large enough to ad-
nit several mosquitoes or flies with ex-
tended wings at the same time. II viii be
found that the flies will he excluded simply
from their dread Of venturing across the
~threadwork.
The beauty Of this method Il hat tho cd
mission of the air IL In no way impe0ed. the
Wilderness of the netting allowing the air to
enter almost az freely as II the windows
were unenclosed.
The main objection to the present method
Of using a very close netting is that while
1t In undoubtedly as effective. although from
q different reason. IN keeping out the mos
and flies. II excludes a great deal
of the air at the same time.
There Is but one condition to the proper
working Of the suggested systematic light
must enter from one side Of the room only.
for II you have windows on the opposite
side also the flies will pass through the net
ting. Nevertheless. that obstacle may Be
easily overcome by pulling down the shades

ever desirable to have the sunshine
and light come from both sides at once.
The same system Of netting may BE- ap-
Piled to hammocks and is equally effective.
In fact, 1t In well known that fishermen

be similar to a tennis net.
