SOLDIERS AND MOSQUITOES.

That the Japanese, who have shown such marked capacity for appreciat- Ing and advancing the latest discover les in medical science. would be inter- ested in the new theories as to the re- latl0n between mosquitoes and malaria was to be expected. and it was natura, that they should undertake experiments Of their own in Formosa, q region where their army of occupation has suffered very severely from the riv- ages of the disease. The results now reported-that not q soldier in d bat talion protected from mosquitoes for 161 days showed any signs of malaria. while another battalion, living near aid under the same conditions except as regards protection from the insects. de- yeloped 259 cases in the same time are little or no more remarkable than those attained i'll similar experiments on the Roman Campagna, but the test was made on larger scale, and with a disregard. partly military and partly oriental, of consequences to the un- protected troops that could not be cx- pected from civilian scientists in Eu- rope. The demonstration seems to have been well nigh conclusive. and if the official reports sustain the cabled dispatch. the need for beginning encr- getic campaigns against mosquitoes in every place where malaria is prevalent will be evident. Indeed, to do so is q duty rather than need Malaria is a most terrible disease, even in it's mild CT forms. and the annual toll which it has exacted from humanity has been enormous To conquer it would be to increase several times the safely habit able portion of the earth's surface. and silence completely Benjamin Kidd and others like him who, as part of their anti-imperialism, proclaim that white men cannot live in the tropics. As a matter of fact, they can. even now, in most parts of the tropics, if they are willing to live temperately and intelli- gently. and the various s'graveyards of the white man. would become gardens if the protean demon malaria could be vanquished.-New York Sun.

THEY WERE ALL JOHNS.
The Unique Revenge of a Chinaman Dpon Party of Offensive
 Congressmen.

Representative Mercer has recent 1y returned from trip to the Phil- ippines and tells the story of how Chinaman in Luzon avenged himself upon the party of which he was a member for a fancied insult, says the Chicago Chronicle.
 You know" said MT. Mercer, s'in this country-in fact, most every where, we always call the Chinaman John Why we should address him as John I don't know, but we do, nevertheless. We'll, when our party struck Mindanao we met well-to-do Chinaman who took exception to our calling him John He had name I think it was Ching Fang, but no matter-and he wanted to be called by it. He had his revenge, however. He went among the natives and told them that party of rich and infiu- ential Americans had arrived and that we must be treated with cour- tesy and consideration. If they (the natives) wanted to please the Amer jeans and make a good impression they should say whenever they saw an American: Hello, John,' sHowdy, John,' Glad to see you, John,' and under all circumstances call the Americans John
 Sure enough" added Mir. Mercer, "as soon as we reached the heart of the village we were greeted on all sides with Hello, John, Can we show you around the island, John?' etc. And even now all over Min danao the American is called John Old Ching Fang certainly scored one sn us.''

AN ELEPHANT PRESERVE.

Within the last fifty years South Af- rlca has been practically cleaned CT elephants, and now all the thousands of great tusk-bearers that roamed the countries beyond the yaal i'll the middle Iortles scarce half q dozen small troops remain. One fingers in Khama's coun- try by the protection Of that excellent chief. and perhaps two or three har- rled bands may still be found in the remoter parts of Northeast Mashona- land or the adjacent districts. Yet that elephants can be successfully pre- served In South Africa has been proved Dy the fact that for close on seventy years past these mammals have been preserved in the Cape Colony. and roam to this day in the Knysna forest. end elseWhefe, within sight of the Indian ocean, in almost undisturbed security. Somaliland has been denuded of it's eIe- phants within the last score of years In Central Africa the work of extfrpa ton goes rapidly forward. A serious effort is at last to be made to save the African elephant from the fate of utter eXtermination, and to emulate the more business like methods of India. There are many difficulties, but they are not insurmountable if the various govern ments interested in Africa will but make up their minds to stop once ard for all the export of ivory from the Dark Continent. It is a gigantic task to police and protect the vast inner regions where the wild elephant yet wanders, but the thing is not impossi- ble. as may be seen by recent efforts in Nyassaland British Central Africa nd aI IL perts believe that the best method of preventing the eXtermination of the elephant would be to fix by internation- al agreement amongst all the powers on the East African coast q close time for the animal, and to render illegal the sale or exportation of tusks under a certain age. But this regulation would have to be firmly carried cut along the entire coast, for if the control in any one colony were lax the Illicit ivory would gravitate there, and tine African elephant would not benefit ScottiSh-American.

SOME FACTS ABOUT GOLD.
Interesting Information Cleaned from a Recently Issued Work
 on Mining.

Interesting statistics about gold mining are given in the Commercial Geography, by Cyrus c. Adams, pub lished by the Appleton's, as folows: Gold is one of the few metals that is often found pure. Most of it, how ever, is alloyed with other metals, chiefly silver. It occurs in veins, in quartz and other rocks, and is ob- tained by crushing and smelting the rock (quartz mining). A great deal of gold freed from the rock by water, heat, cold and other disinte- grating influences is mixed with gravel and sand in the beds of streams or on the seashore, and is obtained by washing (pIacer min ing). The worlds production, rap idly increasing in recent years, is nearly $3o0,000,0o0 year. The Unit ed States was long foremost in gold production, but in 1898 the South Af- rican republic attained the first place. Nearly all the gold mined in this country comes from the western states and territories, including Alaska.
 The beauty and value of gold make it highly prized for ornamentation. About one-fifth of the product, there fore, is annually consumed in arts, France occupying the first place in this use of the metal, followed by the United States. As the metal is too soft to be used pure, it is al- loved with copper or silver. The quantity of alloy added to gold in jewelry is from 12 to over 50 per cent. Pure gold is called 24 carats fine. When there are equal parts of gold and alloy the mixture is F carats fine.
 Most of the gold output is coined. It is the standard money of many nations. Its great advantage as money is that usually it cannot be obtained without great labor, and that it 1uctuates little in value. The average output per miner does not often exceed six te twelve dollars a week, and countin wages and cost of machinery. one ollar is believed to be expended for each one dollars worth of gold produced. Many mines are very profitable, but we hear lit tie of the large sums expended in un- profitable mining.

THE PEoPLING OF AMERICA.

America was reached and peopled from Alaska to Fuegia during the Stone Ages by at least two streams of migration-one from Northwest Eu- rope, the other from Northeast Asia mainly by land competitions which have since disappeared, writes A. Fl. keane in the International Monthly. Owing to this substance, which con- yerted the New World into an ethni- cal as we'll as 9 geographical island, and also for other reasons elsewhere fully specified, all serious migratory movement from the Old World ceased absolutely after the general settle ment; and the "Amerinds," as they are now frequently called, were thus left to continue their normal racial and cultural development i'll their new homes, unaffected by foreign influence of any kind till the arrival of the Norsemen and the Spaniards Hence what they have in common with the people of the eastern hemisphere is just what they brought away with them during the migration period, and that amounts to ye little-the forms of the stone imple its found among all primitive racf perhaps the fire. drill, with the associated cup mark ings; the germs of articulate speech; the family group inherited from the higher anthropoids; few crude re- HgiouS ideas leading in the direction of Shamanism, possibly some early symbols, such as the cross and swas. tika, and the rude beginnings of the simpler arts. But even much of this may very we'll have been evolved on the spot; and when we recall the com. mon psychic nature of man it seems 2 work of supererogafion'' to run ur and down the world in quest of mo. t1ves and inspirations to explain sim. ply growths which may spring up spontaneously in any soil.
 All the rest, all the higher arts. all the monuments, from the Ohio mounds and the ''casas grandes" of the Ari. zona pueblos to the Mexican and Cen. tral American pyramids, temples and palaces. the Peruvian huacas. aoue- ducts and highways, the stupendous monoliths of Tiahuanaco, the ad. vanced social institutions, political or. ganizations. philosophies, calendric systems, pictorial and perhaps phonet- lc scripts, must be credited unreseryed ly to the natives themselves. Tn oth. CT words. American culture. properly so-called was locally evolved. and owed absolutely nothing to extraneous influences.

TOM MooRE'S COTTAGE.

i In Fairmount park, Philadelphia, still stands 8 Very old little house, which tradition says was once occu- pied by the poet Moore. A writer in the Litrary Era speaks of it as fol lows:
 No troubadour, perhaps, ever lived in more houses than sweet voiced Tom Moore and his s.excellent Bessy.' And no one ever left more traces of his personality in the unyarying charac- teristics of each new aerie that inyit- ed him.
 1 He loved to give merry utterance to the lines of Pope:
 "A little cot with trees row, | And like it's master very low.'' 1 But although he preferred cot very low he always sought it on a hill. This is true not only of his brief 1 sojourn in Philadelphia, when he tramped through the Belmont woods to the knoll of trees and honeysuckle lattices that shade his house on the Schuylkill's banks, but of even the Lalla RoolSh cottage The Derbyshire dwelling, however, hid under one hill and looked down another to the pellu- cid glimmer of a small stream.
 Moore scanned all nature with eyes wide open to the miracles of life, and then grouped in lone silent spot amid the hills' all that he found worth liv. I ing for.
 "Oh. hint to the bard, 'tis retirement
 alone
 Can hallow his harp or ennoble it's
 tone'
 Of his ideal he wrote:
 And one dear home-one saving ark Where loves true light at last I've 1 found
 Shining within when all was dark And comfortless, and stormy round. ''
 From such a spirit healing nook the
 low cot on the SchuylkilI looks out upon the country side. Like the poet Wordsworth. Thomas Moore delighted to stroll with a book and pencil in his hand He found not only sermons in stones. but rugged desks for his manu. scripts It is not probable that he wrote many verses indoors when he reached the solitude of the Schuyllsill lodging The four rooms into which the cottage is divided are most tempt. ing in winter time, when huge pine logs. gathered from the woods. blaze in the big fireplace and awakened the night with fantastic shadowy forms in every corner.
