MOSQUITOES ANo DISEASE.
Experiments Prove Yellow Fever
Spread Only Through the Pe.t.

Experiments Prove Yellow Fever IL
Spread Only Through the Pests.
The three most important scientific
advances of the last decade appear to
be the discovery of the X-rays, the dis
covery of argon and the discovery Of
the relations Of mosquitoes to disease.
says the Popular Science Monthly. Tho
last of these discoveries is theoretically
as interesting as the others, and as far
as can be seen at present OF much
greater practical Importance.
1t is quite certain that malaria is
caused by parasite that lives in the
red corpuscles Of the blood and can be
transmitted only by n mosquito Of a
certain kind. which must bite first the
patient suffering from malaria and
then the person to whom the disease
Is given. Experiments carried out Mt
Havana under the direction of Surgeon
General George NJ. Sternberg on the
relations of mosquitoes and yellow
fever have been reported by newspa-
per correspondents.
These experiments made by the army
officers In Havana are most dramatic.
number of officers and soldiers have
permitted themselves to be bitten by
mosquitoes which had previously bit
ten yellow fever patients. In one set
of experiments six out of seven who
were SO infected contracted yellow
fever, and one of the surgeons, DR..
I4azear, sacrificed his life to the work.
In other experiments the soldiers
slept in the bedding and wore the
clothes of yellow fever patients, but
these did not in any case contract the
disease, showing that it is not trans
United directly. All quarantine regu-
lations and the like are thus found to
be needless.
Yellow fever not being personally
contagious and only transmitted
through n certain species of mosqul-
toes, II these mosquitoes are extermin-
ated. OF II those suffering from yellow
fever are screened SO that mosquitoes
cannot have accessSto them, or IL the
we'll are SO screened, yellow fever, like
malaria, can be absolutely extermin-
ated.
1t seems difficult to realize fully the
far.reaching beneficence of such exper.
iments. or to give sufficient honor to
those who have conducted them.

Jefferson died bankrupt and his
grave was neglected until 1882, when
Congress made an appropriation for the
erection Of suitable manument over
his remains. Then the original stone
was taken up and presented to the

THE HOME LIGHT.

The light of homes wondrous light,
So tender in its shining.
So soft 1t follows through the night.
Our weary road outlining.
Though lonely and for years we roam,
Far from the ones who love us.
Yet ever shines the light OF home.
Like Gods grace spread above us.
The light of homes wondrous light,
Through life It follows. seeming;
Yet when with age the hair is white.
Clear in the front It's cleaning.
1t shines from where our loved ones are
Oh, this is love divining!
And through the gates of heaven ajar
At last we see 1t shining!
