COL. L1PP1NcoTT's PROMOTION.
May Not Be Made as He Did Not
Serve During Civil War.

a hitch has occurred in the matter of the
proposed promotion to the rank of brig
adler general of Col Henry Lippincott of
the medical department. Col. Lippincott
was of the officers selected by Presi-
dent Roosevelt for recognition in this way
on account of their having been In the
army thirty-five years and served no loss
than one year during the of the re-
bellon. 1t was supposed by the President
that Col. Lippincott met these require
ments. His record shows that while he has
had thfrty-five years continuous service
his service during the civil war in the
capacity of a contract surgeon. The legal
authorities of the War Department have
held that a contract surgeon is a civilian
emplOye and not an officer Of the army in
a strictly military sense. Col. Lppincott
was appointed an assistant surgeon in Feb
ruary. 1866. and under the ruling referred
to, rendered no military service during the
civil war. Although his commission a
brlgadier general had already been made
out and signed by the President for issue in
a few days it may yet be withdrawn. The

MIDSHIPMAN FRY'S CASE.
Will Probably Be Settled by Superin-
tendent of Academy.

1t is said at the Navy Department that
the of Midshipman Hugh C. Fry of
North Carolina of the fourth class, Naval
Academy, will probably be disposed of by
the superintendent of the Naval Academy
unless that official decides to refer it to
the Navy Department for action. Young
Fry became incensed at waiter for neg
lecting to bring him a glass Of water, and
broke a glass on his head. 1t Is said that
the waiter was engaged at another table
at the time. The midshipman was arrest
ed and put in the brig on the prison ship
Santee. His offense was regarded as
serious breach of discipline, and 1t was
feared by his friends that he would be
dismissed.
The gravity of his offense was not so
much in the extent of the injury inflicted
as in losing his self-control over a trifiing
matter and lowering his dignity as an Off
GER and a gentleman by engaging in
brawl in a public place. The case not
having been referred to the Navy De-
partment, which would have been done in
case the midshipmans dismissal had been
recommended, 1t is believed that the super
irtendent has concluded that the offense
may be expiated by milder penalties, in
Guiding reprimand.

TO DESTROY THE MOSQUITO.
Dr.. c. W. Stiles Will Continue His In
vestigations in New Jersey.


Dr. Charles Wardell Stiles of the Public
Health and Marine Hospital service will
go to New Jersey some time-this week to
take up the work of studying the mos
quito destroyer he claims to have discov-
cred and to which he has given the name
of agamomermis culicis. The investigation
to be made by DR.. Stiles will be taken up
at the earnest solicitat ton of Prof. Smith,
the New Jersey state ethnologist, who has
taken considerable interest In the work.
The mosquito destroyer is parasite which
attaches itself to the mosquito in such
way as to effectually prevent Its doing any
damage to human kind.
DR.. Stiles first discovered the parasite
while studying in the University at Leip-
sic, Germany fifteen years ago. He noticed,
under microscope. that parasite ap-
peared on the mosquito which remained at
tached to it for some time before Its death
and that it placed the mosquito hors de
combat. The mosquitoes We're affected IN
the same manner as human beings who are
attacked by the germ OF iaziness' ssa,1 which
was also discovered by DR.. Stiles.
The object of DR.. Stiles is to determine
whether the mosquito destroyer cannot be
propagated. and if this is found to be feas-
ible a regular propa eating station Will be
established and the parasites will be dis
tributed throughout the country, where
they will do the most good. 1t is not
doubted that an apparatus con De devised
for spraying the parasites or eggs by the
millions in swamps and other breeding
places of mosquitoes so that the insect
will be attacked by it's devouring enemy
before it gets big and hardy enough TO
seek its human prey 1t has also been
demonstrated that the female mosquitoes
attacked by the parasite are rendered per
fectly barren, and thus the agamomerm1s
culiciS can be made 10 stop lhe pTeeu VI
mosquitoes in time.
AS the country around Cape May seems
to he most generally infected at present
with the agamonermis culicis, 1t is probable
that DIR. Stiles and Prof Smith Will DO their
first work in that region.
