THE MOSQUITO
WAR AT SUEz

That warfare against the mosquito
may be successful. if it is waged thor
oughly and relentlessly, seems to be
shown by the results attained on the
Isthmus of SueZ, where the Canal Com
pany has been trying for several
months to exterminate the insects. A
contributor to Cosmos says of this
isthmian mosQuito-war:
"A special service has been organic
ed for the purpose. All cisterns have
been given a thin coating Of oil, which
prevents the mosquitoes from breed
ing; and all marshes and bitches where
stagnant water might accumulate have
been drained, At the same time medi-
cine has been distributed which, by
curing the fever. diminishes the
poisoned sources whence the mos
quitoes obtain their virus.
Owing to this, since last December
the number of cases of fever has
sensibly diminished from month to
month, as compared with the numbers
in corresponding months of previous
years.
These operations have gone on for
only a few months, and, of course, the
anopheles has not completely disap-
peared; but the examination of speci-
mems captured for this purpose shows
that none were infected, which is
doubtless to be attributed to the fact
that the number of malarial patients
has been reduced by proper medical
treatment.
THE oiling of the cisterns and the
active surveillance of all the places
where the mosquitoes can breed have
had another happy result-the ano-
pheIes are not the only ones that have
suffered; these measures have also
caused the culex to disappear SO COM
pIetely that even in the hottest days
of the season it has not been necessary
to use MOSQUITO nets.
"The month of August is the maiariaI
season at Ismaila. and only after this
period can we tell whether the efforts
that have been made are fully sue
cessful. 1t is to be hoped that they
are.
Besides the immense advantage
| that will be gained for the region itself,
/ this experiment will show what can be
done in this line and with what chances
of success. A war of the same kind is
] being waged in Havana. but we do
not yet know its results. "-Translation

YES OR No?
Honolulu People Are Respect
fully Asked to Answer
These Questions.

Is there anything in the evidence of
ones sensesT
Is there anything in the testimony Of
ones friends?
Can reliance be placed upon state
ments from people we know?
Are the opinions of local citizens Of
any greater moment than those of
strangers?
Would you sooner believe people liv-
ing in some far-away place than resi-
dents of your own city?
We think not! for home proof can
easily be investigated.

CARNEG1E's GIFT
Assoc, 900 Library for Washington
More for Branch Libraries.


washington, Jan. s.--Washington's new
public library, a handsome white marble
structure, located on Mount Vernon
Square, donated to the national capital by
Andrew Carnegie, was dedicated yester-
day. 5
President Roosevelt and members Of his
cabinet and men, in all walks Of civil and
political life, were present Mr.. Carnegie,
who contributed $350,0OO for It's construc-
ton, delivered the principal address.
The president said he counted himself
fortunate In attending the library dedi-
cation ceremonies, in some respects as
representing the people of the United
States, to express his grateful apprecia-
ton Of the wisdom Of Mr. Carnegie in
presenting a magnificent free library to
Washington. He believed that a man
ought to consider himself as thrice blessed
who might use his wealth for the benefit
OF the whole people. The common school
system, 81 course, lies at the foundation
OF education, but 1t was only the foun-
dation.
The enormous majority of American cit
liens must, Of necessity, educate them
selves Such a. library as that donated by
Mr.. Carnegie would be helpful, because
|it presented a way by following which the
people might educate themselves.
Mr. Carnegie. after. the dedication 9.
the library, said that he was so vel
pleased that he would donate another

Something. over four years ago America
rang with the name Of Hobson. The thrill
ing feats Of taking the collier Merimac into
the entrance Of the harbor at Santiago
and there sinking her to bottle up Cerve-
ra's fleet made. famous in a day an un-
known boy. The fact that the channel
was not blocked after all made no differ
,ence. The fact remained that Hobson and
a few followers had coolly put their lives
in jeopardy in very spectacular. manner.
Since that time Captain Hobson has been
before the eyes of the nation, though NOT
always In a pleasant light. His friends
contend that he has received an album
dance Of Objectionable notoriety without
being entitled to it. At any rate he, is
now on duty in the navy again, though
