THE DENGUE FEkVER
Is SPREAD BY
MOSQUITOES

Editor Advertiser: In your editorial
columns this morning is an enquiry as
to how dengue is spread. The disease Is
undoubtedly propagated by the mos
quito.
The careful and elaborate expert
ments of Dr. Graham, Professor or
Pathology in the American College OF
Beyreuth, Syria, where dengue was
very prevalent last year, have estao-
lished this fact beyond reasonable
doubt. DIR. Graham obtained the ser
vices of three strong young men who
had not had the disease, and who, for
a fee of five dollars each, We're wiling
to run the risk of weeks sickness
from dengue, He then took mosquitoes
from the inside of the netting of man
already sick with the dengue, and put
them inside the nettings under when
each of the three candidates for the
disease slept. No visitors We're allow
ed, and the utmost precaution was TAX
en- against possible contagion from 9th
er sources. The results would seem 10
be convincing enough. Within five days
after the infected mosquitoes were put
in, each of the three men had broken
out with a typical case of dengue.
To make sure that local influences
had nothing to do with the spread OF
the disease, Dr. Graham repeated this

experiment In a mountain village above
| Beyreuth, 2500 feet high, where dengue
had never appeared After thoroughly
disinfecting himself and changing his
clothes, he carried up to the village, in
a Npasteboard box, some mosquitoes
from under a dengue patients netting.
Some obliging young villagers were
again found ready, at five dollars a
head, to promote the cause of science
The infected mosquitoes were placed
under the mems nettings as before, and
within six days they were each seized
with the disease.
These experiments, which were made
in the early part of last year. have been
confirmed by other Investigations, so
that it may be taken as proven that
the contagion of dengue is conveyed
through the bite of the mosquito, and
in no other way.
1t Is, therefore, merely a question of
fighting the mosquito effectively, in or
der to control a dengue epidemic. AT
first thought it might seem a hopeless
task to contend against the mosquito
here. Our valleys and lowlands are
largely given up to the cuilivation of
rice and taro, which food-stuffs require
for their growth standing water a foot
deep most of the time. But this need
not loom SO large in our calculations.
1t must be remembered that the mos
quito is not "a traveller; it never wan
ders far from the place where it was
born. If bred in a taro patch, 1t will
live out it's short life there or there
abouts, unless carried away by high
wind. Both the lay and medical press
have furnished interesting testimony
lately that the mosquito can be fought
and practically suppressed, by resolute,
concerted and prolonged effort. Take
the case of Havana.
Before the American occupation of
Havana. the yellow fever, also produced
by the bite of a mosquito, ran riot:
often causing hundreds of deaths year.
ly. Under American rule the city was
cleaned up and sanitated, and a relent-
less and systematic warfare was begun
against the mosquito, by the United
States Marine Hospital Service. Squads
of men patrolled every street, house,
alley, garden and vacant lot almost
daily, and no possible breeding place
for the vile insect was allowed to eX-
list. Tanks and cisterns, in which wa
ter must needs stand were petrolized
at regular intervals, and closely watch
ed. The result stands as a monument
to the energy and genius of those who
organized the campaign and carried it
to victory. Yellow fever was practical
ly stamped out. In 1902 there was not
a single death from that disease in Ha
vana.

South Kona sheriff from $500 to $500,
but though he precipitated a long dis
cussion he got no further.
Vida succeeded in having the Ste

Clerk of the Public Works Depart

The Land Court Stenographer was

n good try for an increase of the SAL
ary of the license inspector fron 5000
to $1,000. Beckley left the chair to
fight against it. saying the people suf-
fered from overpaid government Off
cials. The House then took a recess.
WORK ON PALI ROAD.
Paele opened the afternoon session
with an amendment increasing the Pa
Ii road cantoneers from two to four
each at $40 a month. The argument
in favor of this was strong and wide
and the item was changed.
Fernandez moved to cut out the
item salary of deputy sheriff of Wal
anae, making the point that there was
no district of that name. He argued
that there could be no propriety in
making an appropriation for the Off
Ger under the conditions. The chair
ruled that the later motion to refer to

Fernandez motion was carried.
AN IMMIGRATION AGENT.
Keliinoi moved to insert new item,
under the Secretarys office, "Immigra-
ton Commissioner and Advertising
Agent. $780," Kalama moved to trans
fer the official to the Treasurer's office,
saying the money should be under an
official appointed by the Governor. The
item was. however inserted in the
bill as proposed by Keliinoi.
Wright moved the amendmenc Of
the item for Japanese interpreter In
Courts to increase the salary from s45C
to 5000. Keliinoi wanted to place the
figure at $3.50. Harris urged that the
higher figure be inserted saying that
the lawyers wanted n high class man
and he must be fairly paid. The ke-
liinoi amendment prevailed and the
House then adjourned for the day to

that part of the world.
There was no difficulty in landing the

FORTUNES IN BLUE FOXES
Novel Industry That Is Prospering

The success of the Alaska CONNER

the Aleutian islands has attracted near

DEEP SEA kITEFLYlNG.
Germany and America Will Unite to
Explore Tropical Air Currents.

1t Is announced that the German
government has placed a naval vessel
at the disposal Of Mr.. A. Lawrence
Rotch Of Boston, the director of the
Blue Hill Meteorological station OF
Harvard observatory, for the purpose
Of enabling him to carry out his long
cherished plan Of investigating by
means of kites the air currents above
the great trade winds of the tropics.
Mr.. Rotch's cruise, 1t is expected, will
last about three months and will cover
the middle Atlantic between Africa
and South America.
The problem involved is one which
scientific men are almost entirely ig-
norant about, and 1t Is believed that II
can be solved only by means of special
ly constructed kites, such as have been
used for similar purposes at the Blue
Hill observatory for number of years
past. When flown from the deck of a
moving steamship 1t has been proved
that these can be sent to unusually
great heights. for If above the surface
winds stratum of motionless air In
tervenes the vessel can be urged for
ward so as to pull the kite up into the
next breezy tract. Mr.. Rotch originated
this form of scientific kitefying a lit
tie over year ago and has had the
satisfaction of seeing it generally
adopted by European meteorologists as
being far more effective than flying the
kites from stationary base.
Some preliminaries in the way of
equipment Of the expedition have still
to be arranged, but 1t is the hope Of
the Harvard meteorologlsts to have
everything in readiness for start next
July. Given the use of vessel COM
pletely manned and equipped the cost
of the expedition to America will not
be above $4,000.
