FACTS ABOUT THE MOSQUITO

A mosquitoes food capacity Is rough
ly estimated at one drop Of blood. h!s
dimensions are uncertain. The gray
mosquito. the day tormentor, Is pros.
ably the smallest variety. He is of a
very light weight, not tipping the
beam at more than one.fourth of a
grain, and often not weighing quite so
much. Some of them are so light
when unfed that they will not disturb
the balance of the most delicately pots.
ed scales. The small mosquito Is the
treacherous kind. He always lights on
the under side of the hand or arm. ap.
parently knowing that he is beyond
the reach of the eye. He is the same
fellow who will crawl under the edges
of the bar or slip under the sheet.
There is another and larger variety,
kind that will drop on you like a fake
Of snow, but they do not feel like
fake OF snow. They land with their
labium, or lance, unfolded and with
point down, and they begin operations
at once. While the mosquito of this
brand weighs about one.half of a
grain. he seems to have the tonnage
and potentiality of a pile-drlver when
he punctures the skin.
There are about $50 known varieties
of mosquitoes in this section of the
world. The mosquitoes labium. the
thing he stings with. is of uncertain
length. 1t is sharp as needle, hollow
like a hair, and 1t is through this that
he sucks blood into his system. The
mosquito cannot stand a strong wind.
He seeks low place when the wind Is
high. He never gets more than 100
yards from the place of his birth. The
eggs are deposited on still, stagnant
water. Otherwise they will be de-
stroyed. The life of the mosquito GOV.
ers span Of sixty days. AS a dissem.
inator of diseases. scientific men have
agreed that his responsibility is very
heavy.

Of boys start out to overtake the first
