profits of Max Cohen's butter and egg
business, TAG South Fourth street, re-
suited in capias being issued for the
arrest of Bernard Lewett.
The writ was procured by Patrick F..
Denver, counsel for Mr.. Cohen, who
had brought an action against Lewett,
who is said to be well connected, to re
cover his losses, which amount to
$4,000
Lewett was employed about year
ago by Mr.. Cohen to make out bills at
the latter's store. He devoted two
hours every Sunday to this work and
received as compensation So a week.
The cash receipts of the business
were kept in safe.
Some time after Lewett began his en-
ployment, Cohen says, be observed that
the young man was living far more ex-
ravagantly than a man of his means
would permit. When the latter noticed
the business profits consistently de-
creasing, he employed private dectives
to watch LEVEL.
Last Sunday morning the detectives,
it is stated, saw the clerk go to the
safe, turn the combination which
opened the doors and take S18 in
cash. Mr.. Cohen discharged Lewett
and retained Mr.. Dever to begin pro
ceedings in civil court.

MOSQUITOES AND COLORS.
The Insects Are Attracted ny so"'
and Repealed by other
Hues.

The anoDheles mosquito, says the ID

ed by some colors and repelled by otn'
ers. Experiments have been conduet
ed in a gauze tent, one end OF whlcI
was formed by large windows. into
these the sunlight poured on orlgn,
DAYS. Large stone basins were placed
on the floor for the mosquitoes to breeo
in.
If was Immediately noticed that when
a person entered the tent clad in dark
gray clothes, the mosquitoes settled
on the cloth. When the person entered
was dressed in white flannel, they did
not approach him.
A number of boxes lined with cloth
of various colors were placed on the
floor. and it was noticed that great
numbers of mosquitoes entered the boS
lined with dark blue. Fewer OF the
insects sought the boxes lined with
other colors. the number diminishing in
this order: dark red. brown, scarlet
black, slate-gray. olive-green, violet
leaf-green. blue. pearl-gray, pale green
light blue. ochre, white and orange
No mosquitoes whatever were found in
the box lined with yellow.
The number of insects congregating
in houses might, therefore, easily be
lessened by the choice of suitable col
ors applied to the walls. A trap lined
with something dark would attract so
many insects that they could be slain
in large numbers. Mosquito-bars or
screens should be of yellow; for blue OF
black attracts them and coaxes them
into finding admission.
