Dwellers In mosquito-infestcd parts
are strongly recommended to wear as
much yellow and 10 have as much yell
low about them as possible. This adj
vice comes from n French scientist.
who has been investigating the psych-
ology OF the little pest. One OF his
tests was as follows: lie took certain
number OF boxes and lined their int.
riors with cloth OF different colors and
different shades Of the same color.
Then he liberated In the room n large
number OF mosquitoes. believing that
the colors in the boxes would attract
them. At the end OF certain time he
closed his boxes and then began TO
count. He found that the insects had
decided liking for dark colors in
preference TO white. and that the most
were found In the box which had beer
lined with dark blue. Not a single one
was found la the box which contained
yellow. This test may not be conclu.
slve. but IL seems to prove that there Is
something In the tradition that dark
stockings attract more mosquitoes to
abe ANKLES than DO light ones.

A PROFESSOR IN TROUBLE.

The leading Methodist periodicals in the
west and hosts of Methodists in that sec
ton consider Professor Charles w. Pear
son a proper subject for removal from
the faculty of Northwestern university.
Professor Pearson's offense is that in his
lectures at the university he treats the
miracles related in the, Bible as legends
and myths
This theory is generally proclaimed by
the scientists of our time and is taught in
many colleges and universities, but It is
a novelty to have it adopted by profess
sor in a Methodist educational institu-
ton. 'sE32 o.
The Indignation ana protest of the Meth
odists is naturair7and just. The great
church to which they belong adhere as
firmly as any other denomination to the
literal construction of the Bible. They
have not taken TO. the recent revision.
They preach and believe the literal inter-
probation of the Bible with remarkable
conservatism. When the Methodists es-
tablish school it must be expected that
they shall object to any teaching therein
that conflicts with their creed.
There is absolutely no defense Of Pro-
fessor Parsons conduct. He may be
very learned man and great teacher,
but he has no proper place in Methodist
university. His removal could not be rea-
sonably condemned by anybody.
