SHIPPING BASKETS.
Some of Them Are Pretty Costly but
They Must lie Made TO stand

The familiar shipping basket, such

wholesale districts Of the city, is about

Any one of these simple looking bas-

dollars or st5. Some cost as much as
$50; and this for basket perhaps not
more than 4x2isx21l feet. Baskets of
the highest price named would be
made for use where lines of heavy
goods were handled.
A shipping basket such IS that would

MOSQUITOES YELLOW FEVER
destructive Effect of the Insects Rite
Upon Human Health seien-
tiHcaIIy 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 maleficent influence
by the transfer of yellow fever. The
immediate cause of yellow fever is still
disputed. Neither the Bacillus Y Of
sternberg nor the Bacillus icteroides
of Sanerelli now seems to be the
causatiye organism of this terrible dis
ease, and the true nature of the germ
for il is a germ-disease-is yet TO be
aseertained. 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, form which, |
while il has always been placed in the
genus CuleN, seems, according to Theo-
bald, the English authority, to present
structural differences of sufficient inn
portanee to warrant the erection Of a
new genus called Stegomyia. Should /
the careful experimentation which
viii follow prove the validity Of this
discovery Of our army medical men,

A Novel Spider Collection.

A Belgian teacher of natural history
gives an account of an experiment
made by him to test the abilities of
children as collectors. The result
was simply astounding. The teacher
asked boy to collect all the different
kinds of spiders that he might see
during his vacation rambles.
The lad, who, evidently, did not
share the absurd fear which most
persons have of these harmless and
useful creatures. accepted the task
with alacrity, and for weeks he
secured the country round about his
home for spiders, going about three
miles in every direction.
He brought back to school more
than a hundred species, OF which no
less than ten had never been sup
posed to exist in Belgium, despite the
careful explorations of Prof. Becker Of
Brussels, who is famous as a collect
or of spiders.
The little collection that he made in
so remarkable a manner is a highly
priced addition to The cabinet of the
school.

How tho Burglar Was Caught.

rather curious method of bur-
glar catching was resorted to by an
ingenious maid servant recently in
New York. AS the Electrical Review
tells the story, while in pursuit Of her
household duties the maid noticed a
mans foot inside the clothes closet
She did not scream, neither did she
jump at the door, nor shut it with a
bang; instead she took broom and
began to sweep that corner of the
room near the closet. Her approach
was gradual, and the sweeping was
done so naturally that it would not
have aroused the most suspicious bur-
glar At last the broom brushed the
door gently but hard enough to close
it to the fraction of an inch. With
five or six more gentle sweeps that
closet door was shut and almost
latched, which she at length succeed
ed in doing by gently pressing her arm
against it.
As the telephone in her house was
so near the closet that the burglar
would be able to hear her if she
called for assistance, she bethought
herself of another plan. In the back
yard some telephone linemen were OF
the time making repairs on a wire
that runs to another house in the
block. She went out and spoke TO
them. They promptly tapped a wire,
attached an instrument and called ND
one of the downtown exchanges,
which, in turn. got the house owner,
who, in his turn, called up police,
headquarters From there the call
was sent to the police station nearest
the house and two policemen were sent
around and got the man.

Why Bees Work in Darkness.

Bees go out all day gathering honey
and work all night in the hive, build
ing their combs as perfectly as if an
electric light shone there all the time.
Why do they prefer to work in the
dark? is often asked. Every ono
knows that honey is liquid with 10
solid sugar in it. After standing it
gradually assumes a crystalline ap-
pearance, or granulates, and ultimate
ly becomes solid mass.
Honey has been experimentally in
closed in well-eorked TASKS, some of
which were kept in perfect darkness,
while the others were exposed to the
light. The result was that the portion
exposed to the light soon crystalized,
while that kept in the dark remained
unchanged
Hence, we see why the bees are so
careful to obscure the glass windows
which are placed in their hives. The
existence of the young depends on
the liquidity of the saccharine food
presented to them, and if light were
allowed access to this, it would in all
probability, prove fatal to the inmates
of the hive.

Abraham Jefferson, a negro, was
held to the grand jury recently on
charge of larceny, says the Kansas City
Journal. The namesake of Abraham
and Jefferson is charged with having
stolen from Fred Harvey, the railway
restaurant man, curiously made
buckskin coat, which was formerly
possession of the bloodthirsty Apache
chief, Geronimo. The coat, which was
exhibited in court, is an interesting
specimen of Indian handiwork, and a
striking commentary on the character
of old Geronimo. 1t is festooned with
forty or fifty long tufts of hair, which
are believed to have been taken from
the heads of the many white women
whom the old chief had killed. Ger
onimo must have had particular dis
like for women with dark brown hair,
or a penchant for that kind of decora-
ton for his coat, for, with one excep-
tion, all the hair is of that color. The
exception is a very light brown, which
might at one time have been red All
the hair is long. 1t is attached in hit
or-miss fashion to all parts Of the
coats exterior, and hangs down the
back so thick as to almost conceal the
highly colored painted figures which
constitute the rest of its ornamental
ton. AS a curio the coat was worth
about $500.
