MOSQUITOES And FEVER
EXHAUSTIVE EXPERIMENTS TO he
CONDUCTED AT HAVANA.

HAVANA, Aug. 14-In connection with
the experiments which Dr. Caldas, the
Brazilian medical expert, is about to con-
duct here to illustrate the efficacy of a
serum designed to prevent the contrac-
ton of yellow fever, the yellow fever
committee will supply the mosquitoes.
The committee has eight insects which
have bitten person suffering from a bad
case of yellow fever Two of the mos
quitoes subsequently bit two persons who
have since developed well marked cases
The eight mosquitoes will be divided
into two divisions. Two persons whom
DR.. Caldas will inoculate with his serum
will be bitten by two mosquitoes each.
The other four mosquitoes will bite two
hon-immunes, two each. AS the eight
mosquitoes were infected from the same
person, and as two of them have already
gwen yellow fever to two persons, it is
inferred that the arrangement will afford
a good test of the preventive value of the
serum, although other experiments will
probably be conducted.
