SCIENCE IN NEGRO MYTH.
The Darkies Knew the Dragon Fly Was

The Darkies Knew the Dragon lily was
Foe Of Mosquitoes.
Apropos of the recent discovery that
the dragon fly is a destroyer of mos
ouitoes and as such is entitled to all the
protection that can be extended, 1t is In
teresting to learn that the investigators
and SCENTS of the Army and Navy
Hospital have been forestalled in this
discovery by the negroes of lower Louis
lana. The dragon fly is known under
different names in different sections OF
the United States. In some sections 1t Is
known under the name of snake doc
tor in others the name of :big-head
fly prevails. while dragon fly is, per-
haps. the most general designation under
which this insect is known. but in Louis
lana it is known as the mosquito
hawk" to the exclusion of all other
designations.
The name dragon fly is unknown in
lower Louisiana, where the insect has
mover been known under any other name
than that of mosquito baWk. and
where it is the object Of what many
have considered a myth, but which, IN
the light of recent investigation, turns
out to be a bit of good sound reason and
fact. For a long time the negroes of
that section have chung to the belief
that the mosquito hawk is a destroyer
Of mosquitoes. and that to kill one Is to
court misfortune and i'll luck. 1t is said
that this was formerly the belief OF the
Attakapas Indians. tribe now exunct,
but which at one time occupied the
whole of lower Louisiana, and that the
negroes received the myth from them.
At all events, the dragon fly Is protected
In Louisiana, Just as in other States peo-
pie are not allowed to modest the buz-
card. They believe that the MOSQUITO
hawk hovers about pools of waters, cap
turing and devouring the young mos
| quitoes as fast as they emerge from
tho water. and. for reason, they are
looked upon as benefactor to mankind.
