An American Louvre Planned For Washington
 Works of the Old Masters to Be Seen ct the Capi

of treasures with which to make a start, and it would seem as though the advocates of the movement are fully justified in their statement that within few years the gallery will occupy a place second to no other art institution \ in the worId.c
 Such a gallery would be but com mensurate with our dignity as world power. It has long beei ! matter of regret that comparative few of the great paintings of the wo iIaye found their way to our shores, ut this has been largely due, as in the case of Mr Morgan, to natural disnclinatior on the part of wealthy art lovers to pay q high duty on works of art not in- tended to be put on the American market. Of course there have long been numerous we'll known galleries and museums to which they could pre- sent their purchases, but the incentive to make such gifts has not been so great as wou the case with the new and natiol tllery.
 It IS highly P able also that upon the completion oE the proposed art
 treasury numerous masterpieces now
 to be seen in the smaller galleries of
 the country would be transferred to the capital city, either by purchase or as gifts from the galleries now holding them. The argument might be ad- vanced that it would be a great pity
 to thus weaken existing collections. but such an argument would fall to the ground in face of the largeness and the
 national aspect of the present plan.
 Just where the national gallery will be located and how it will be managed
 are questions which of course the
 future only can answer. It certainly should stand in 9 central location, con- verient of access to both residents of the city and visitors from other parts of the country and it may be found difficult to provide a suitable site. But whatever the difficulties there can be no doubt but that they will be sur
 mounted so soon as it becomes manifest | that congress will take favorable ac- l tion and appropriate sufficient money to 1 warrant those chiefly interested in | going ahead with their plans.

paratus Is available, to force the oil below the surface of the water. The female mosquito lays her eggs in the water and when they are matched the tiny "wigglers," as the young mosqui- toes are popularly called, come up to the surface, burst their skin envelope and take fiight--to live on plants If they are males, to seek human gore if females for the male never attacks man, while the female avails herself of every opportunity to do so. The petro- leum, however, sends the little wiggler flying back to the bottom of the pool. where it swims around seeking an egress until, exhausted, it is drowned The petroleum method of warfare has been very successful in some localities, though there are others where the mos quito continues to work havoc despite it's use, and scoffers there be who gravely assert that some mosquitoes wax fat, and lusty on the ammunition directed against them. It is also re- ported in certain quarters that the habit of sprinl<ling pools with petro- leum has resulted in the untimely de- mise of cows who drank the waters so treated, but the advocates of the oil system strenuously deny that the deaths of these boyines were caused by the petroleum.
 Another favorite method of proce- dure, though necessarily expensive. is to drain the pools where the mosquito turks. This has been tried with suc- cess in some parts of the country, and if it were possible to make it universal there is every reason to believe that the ranks of the culicid9 would speedily be decimated Indeed there are many who affirm that this will eventually be found the only means of attaining the desired result. But the enormous ex- pense is obviously a great bar to any concerted action in this direction on the part of municipalities, much less in dividuals.
 A unique means of fighting the in sects was proposed not so very long ago by Professor R. H. Petit. who spent some time studying the mosquito problem in Michigan. While examining SAreedina nools he discoyered that the

banks were covered with the bodies of
 mosquitoes that had fallen victims to
 fungous disease closely related to
 that which kills so many flies in the
 autumn. Attempts have since been
 made to introduce the disease into other
 ponds, and if it. is found possible to
 propagate the fungus to any extent the American mosquito will have to combat
 new and very powerful weapon of de
 struetion. In this connection it might
 be said that some people urge the expediency of breeding goldfish in large
 quantities and establishing them in the
 matching places of the mosquitoes. for
 experiments conducted last year by
 w. L. Underwood, a lecturer in the bi-
 ological department of the Massachu- setts Institute of Technology, have sshown that goldfish are natural en-
 emies of the wigglers Other ardent mosquitophobes have suggested the propagation of dragon flies as mosuuito killers, but the proposition has thus far not met with much encouragement. e
 The latest scientific suggestion. made only a few weeks ago by Professor John
 B. Smith, state entomologist of New Jersey. is not only unique. but has aroused the attention of savants
 throughout the country. Professor
 Smith has discovered threadworn

 parasite fatal to mosquitoes. It is to
 this that we alluded above The tiny
 worm lays eggs which hatch in the
 mosquitoes unfortunate enough to eat
 them, and the result is death to the
 mosquitoes. To this diminutive but powerful agent in the interests of mankind Dr. Stiles of the public health department of Washington has given sfra<r A culicis So far nothing hasy been learned regarding the origin of the parv asite, but 1t is hoped that before long the experts now investigating the sub ject will have discovered a means of propagating the aganomarrnis and thus inaugurating wholesale destruc-

 The people who are best acquainted with the plans for the establishment of the great national gallery are the trustees of the Corcoran Gallery of Art, but they are silent as regards details. It is known, however, that the inten- tion is to include a noteworthy collec- ,tion of ceramics and the work of the North American Indians. It is further known that the trustees have assur- ances of support from wealthy en- thusiasts other than MT. Morgan. and it is said that President Roosevelt will use his influence to further the important undertaking. One gentleman, whose name is withheld for the present, has promised to contribute a large and val uable collection now in his possession and also to donate a considerable sum for the purpose of acquiring Filipino, Cuban Porto Rican and Mexican ex- amples of handicraft-weapons, needle work and pottery. The promise Is con- tingent however upon the authorities of the new gallery agreeing that this portion of the gallery's treasures shall be exhibited alternately in the gallery which, of course is to be located in Washington--in commercial museums and at big expositions throughout the 
 country.
 The new gallery, it is further stated, will come into possession of the twenty nine pictures and other works of art ! bequeathed to the Corcoran gallery by Harriet Lane Johnston, President Btu charans' niece, who died a few weeks ago The conditions attached to this legacy were such that the gallery's trustees felt that they could not accept it, and according to the testatrix's will the collection, in the event of a re- fusal by the Corcoran officials.

one of the prime movers in the na- tional art gallery project.
 Should the project become a reality. as there is now every reason to believe it will, the American people will have the pleasure of viewing some of the most noteworthy works of masters like Raphael, Rembrandt, Teniers. Con- stable, Corot, Rubens, Reynolds, WouV- erman, Van der Heydt Meissonier, Boucher and Ruysdael. The collection, which is at present assembled in Lon don, also includes the famous Gains borough Duchess stolen from the Agnews, recovered through the instru- mentality of Pat Sheedy, the well known sporting man, and sold to MT. Morgan, after the financier had in spected 1t for two minutes, for the sum of $150,000. In art as in business MT. Morgan is a man of quick decision. He has made a thorough study of things artistic, just as he has made a thorough study of finance, and when he sees a painting it does not take him very long to decide whether or no he wants it, and if he does want it, just how much he should pay for it. Art dealers say there are few amateur con- noiseurs who know better the merits and real value of a painting. In this connection it might be said that only a few months after MT. Morgan bought the Gainsborough he could have sold it at an advance of. $50, ,000
 The gems of MT. Morgan's foreign collection are the F'ragonard panels, il- lustrating the love of the Du Barry and Louis XIV, and the notable Raph- ael painting, Madonna of St. Anthony of Padua." The former cost MT Nor gan $1,O00,000 while the latter is ap- praised at $500.000 The Fragonard panels have an interesting history They were painted for the palace of .'the Du Barry at Louceviennes but were never installed there because of the troubles which hefell the kings favorite. Fragonard gave them to a friend of his and they remained in the friends family until few years ago, when MT. Morgan secured them. They are beautiful in design and execu- ton.
