PESTS OBJECT TO YELLOW.
MOsquitOes Will Avoid n Person Who
Wears Clothing of That
Color, 1t Is Said.

Mosquitoes have their prejudices
and one of these is repugnance to
yellow. For this reason residents in
mosquito-infested parts are strongly
recommended to wear as much yellow
and to have as much yellow about them
as possible. This advice comes from a
French scientist who has been investi-
eating the psychology of the little
pest. One of the tests was as follows:
He took a certain number of boxes
ard lined their interiors with cloth of
different color, and different shades OF
the same color. Then he liberated in
the room large number of mosqui-
toes, believing that the colors in the
box would attract them.
At the end of a 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 been lined with
dark blue. Not single one was found
in the box which contained yellow
This test may not be conclusive, but il
SENS to prove that there is something
in the tradition that dark stockings
attract more mosquitoes to the ankles
than do light ones.

SEA POWER OF THE NATIONS
Great Changes Have Been Made In

shows that in the ten years from
1892 to 1902 these changes have &C.
Cured:
/. Russia, Germany and the. United
States have all become the owners
of as many battleships as France,

8. The British and Japanese navies

THE SITUATION THERE is CRITICAL.
IL IL Feared the Revolutionary
Forces May Enter Caracas and In

which Would BE Attended NJ

Washington, Oct. 16.-United States
Minister Bowen, at Caracas, has ca
bled the state department. asking
that one or, perhaps, two more war
ships be sent to reinforce the gun
boat Marietta at La Guayra in view
of the present critical situation
which has arisen at the Venezuelan
capital.
Some time ago, when President
Castro left his capital. Minister
Bowen expressed to the state depart
ment his fears that an occupation OF
the capital by the revolutionary
forces would result in rioting ana

dangers to unprotected foreigners.
Such a situation, it is inferred here,
is again imminent. The nearest war

the Magdalena river, in Colombia, to

Owing to the interruptions to ca

ment has received no report from the
Montgomery since she left Hayti. and
il is feared that even if her services
at Santa Marta are not now needed
she can not be reached with dispatch.
The Panther is still at Colon and
the Cincinnati has just arrived IN
Haytian waters. There are several
gunboats and cruisers which are
destined for the Caribbean section

church. Fans were futtering, hymna-
ais Hopping, handkerchiefs mopping
streaming faces; and the minister
thought his audience little lax in at
tention. Finally he led up to rebuke
for their lack of consideration for sa-
cred and important things. Said he:
"People are prone to attend to the
unimportant things of life"
And he gave few examples to illus
trate the idea. Presently he made his
pertinent application:

WAYS OF THE wooDcHUcK.
PeeaIIaritIes of the narrower which
Appear In His Manner Of Living
and working.

Perhaps no wild mammal is more
familiar TO country people than the
woodchuck, says a writer in Country
Life in America. Every hillside and
meadow is dotted with the small piles
of earth which mark the doorway to
his home. The woodchuck prefers a
hillside or a knoll in which to dig his
hole, for here he can easily make the
end of his den higher than the begin
ming, thus avoiding the danger OF be-
ing drowned out. What could be more
unlike in general appearance than a
woodchuck and a squirrel? Yet they
are cousins, both belonging to the
same family of mammals. The trim
body, sharp claws and agility OF the
squirrels make it possible for them
to lead an arboreal life, jumping reck-
lessly from branch to branch, while
the fiabby form and short legs of the
woodchuck better adapt him for dig
cling than for running or climbing.
The nature of the food of the wood
chuck is such that he cannot lay up
stores as the chipmunks do, nor is it
of such a Kind that ii can be obtained
during the winter. The case of this
creature during the winter seems to
be, therefore. one of "sleep long and
soundly or starve." During the win
ter's sleep or Information life proc
esses go on very slowly. Breathing is
reduced, and the heart beats become
so slow and feeble that they cannot
be felt. They come from their win
ter's sleep about March in New York

is GROWING IN FAVOR.
Tendency Toward Disposition Of
Human Dead by Cremation BE-
coming More Popular.

The custom of cremation prevailed
throughout the civilized world before
the Christian era, excepting among
the Egyptians, Chinese and Hebrews.
and recent statistics show that there
is a constant and growing tendency
10 return TO the custom.
The disposition of the human dead
by incarceration has been meeting
with more and more favor. that has in
no wise been retarded since the first
cremation society was formed in Lon
don in 1874. That same year a crema-
tory was erected in Milan and two
years afterward one was built in
Lodi, Italy. In two years more there
was one in Gotha, Germany, and aft
erward they began to appear in all
lands.
The first one in this country was
erected in Washington, Pa, in 1888,
and the one in Fresh Pond, L. l., came
two years afterward. In this latter
eight bodies were cremated the first
year and 76 in the second year. In 1900
the total has passed the 600 mark, and
during last year it reached 654.
There are now 26 crematories in the
United States. In the year that New
York's first crematory was opened
only 46 bodies were cremated in the
entire country, while last year the
number was 2,645.

TRANSFERS
Thousands Of Them Being Used
Daily on the Cars.

That transfer tickets on the trolley
cars are proving a boon to the people OF
this state is proved by the increased
amount of travel on all the lines and by
the number Of transfers which are being
issued from day to day.
1t was learned from reliable source at
the office OF the United Traction COM
pany today that from 5000 TO % 600
transfers are issued on each week day.
and that on Sundays this number is in
creased TO from 1000 TO AZ. 600
There Is still good deal OF misunder-
standing concerning the law which gov
erns the use of transfers. however. which
time will undoubtedly straighten out
For instance many fail to understand
that transfers must be asked for at the
time the fare Is paid
Moreover many people fail 10 under
stand that transfers are good only at the
points where issued For instance. II the
transfer point is at the corner of Dor
rance and Westminster the transfer ticket
is not good II the car Is boarded at the
corner Of Mathewson and Westminster.
Notwithstanding these misunderstand-
ings. however. the transfer system Is a
great success and promises 10 he even
more so as the months and years so on
