KEROSENE IS EFFECTIVE.

Where for any reason none of the
| above remedial measures apply, re-
course may be had to kerosene which
is so effective an insecticide that it
might almost be thought to have been
designed for this special purpose. An
ounce or so poured into a water cask
will quickly kill all the wigglers in
the water and prevent the female from
laying any more eggs therein. If the
water be drawn from near the bottom
by means of a spiggot the water is in
no wise injured either for drinking or
bathing since the oil being lighter than
water remains at the top and does not
faint the water below in the least.
The death of the larvae results from
the fact that, in order to breathe, the
wiggler must thrust it's breathing tube
above water. If it cannot do this
every few moments it browns; if on
the other hand its breathing tube is
thrust into kerosene at the top of the
water it is at once killed. The wig
gler is thus between the devil and
the deep blue sea which is exactly
where we want him.
The common kerosene oil is very eff
fective as a mosquitocide and it is
cheap enough to use in all ordinary
cases, though it evaporates rather
rapidly; so it is necessary to renew it
once in ten days or so but if it be
proposed to use oil on a large scale
and continuously it would no doubt
pay to import the light fuel on'' of
the Standard Oil Company which is
cheaper and more lasting in effect.

So far as Hilo and its environs are
concerned the problem of the practi-
neither complex nor difficult nor ex-
pensive. Here are no extensive water
taro beds with valuable vested rights
as in Honolulu, to complicate proce-
dure and indefinitely increase expense.
The natural drainage of the town is
all that can be asked, and there are
very few natural breeding grounds for
the mosquito. Nature has done every
thing possible to keep the town free
from pests and pestilence. The trou-
BILE is with man.

THE YELLOW FEVER NJ

THE YELLOW FEVER MOSQUITO.
Professor Henshaw says there are
but the two species of mosquitoes in
the islands and disputes the publish
ed statement of a Honolulu physician
that the yellow fever mosquito cannot
be found here. He says:
So far as yellow fever here is con-
cerned at the present time, this mos
quito is perfectly harmless since it
cannot originate the fever germ but
can only foster and transmit it. When
the Panama Canal is an accomplished
fact yellow fever is very likely to be
introduced into Honolulu, and the
mosquito is already there by the mill
lions to receive the sporozoon and to
transmit it indefinitely. Only the
greatest care and the utmost precau-
lions in the way of screening yellow
fever patients from attacks by the
-osquito will secure exemption from
an epidemic. Nor is it altogether wise
for Honolulu to await the arrival Of
the fever before inaugurating war on
the mosquito. In this case, as in so
many others. the little ounce of pre-
caution is worth many miles of wire
screening.

the screen, it follows that the measur-
ing light is stronger than the light out
side of the photometer. Assuming
this condition to exist, If the measur-
Ing light be gradually decreased its
Illuminating effect upon the exposed
face of the screen will gradually fade
away and eventually vanish.
When this vanishing point is
reached it may be assumed that the
light to be measured is equal to that
in the instrument, and the operator
has only to look on his gauge which
controls the power of the incandescent
lamp to find the value of its light
rays. With the knowledge of this
value 1t is an easy matter to adjust
the diaphragm and time the exposure
of the plate. Eugene T. Turney OF
San Francisco. Cal, is the inventor.

Fishina Reel of New Design.

With the introduction of the new
fishing reel presented in the picture
below, one more excuse of the fisher
man for not landing the biggest fish"
has probably been removed, namely,
the inability to take up the slack OF
the line with sufficient rapidity when
the fish turns. 1t is claimed for this
new reel that the spool can be rotated
with great speed should the necessity
arise, as it often does, and at the
same time the hand which operates
the reel can support a portion of the
weight of the rod, which is impossible
with the crank reel now in common
use. The new mechanism consists of
a spool pivoted in an enlargement of
the pole, with a grooved shaft de-
tachably connected to the lower end
of the spool shaft. The grooved shaft
is mounted below the spool. with a

Nolseless and smokeIess Guns.


An apparatus has lately been in
vented to suppress sound, smoke and
fire in guns. 1t consists essentially OF
a steel tube made in compartments
closed by partitions, these partitions
having orifices somewhat larger than
the caliber of the firearm. This tube
is fixed in front of the muzzle of the
gun by bayonet clasp at the moment
of firing. AT other times it is de-
tached and carried as walking stick.
1t operates as follows: While the
projectile is engaged in the piece the
gases from the powder spread in front
of the muzzle and are arrested by the
crst partition. AS the projectile passes
along the bore the gas is arrested in
the same way and when the bullet
leaves the piece there is so little gas
remaining that there is no flame pro-
duced by its combustion. The gases.
momentarily stopped by the partitions,
escape successfully and quietly with
out sound or smoke. The auxiliary
tube weighs 700 grams, is 20 centime-
tres in length and can be armed with
a knife at the end so as to serve as
bayonet. 1t Is fully described in
France Militaire by NJ. Humbert. its
inventor.

Electric SWEATING Robe.

Among recent inventions in medical
apparatus is the sweating robe here
illustrated with a picture taken from

treatment of such diseases as are sus-
ceptible to the influence of electricity
applied in in the form of heat.
The robe is made of two layers
sewed together. A resistance wire
arranged in zigzag folds is interposed
between these layers. When in use
the patient is wrapped in this robe,
and a current of proper strength is
passed through the resistance wire to

Evolution in Coffee.

AT a recent meeting of the Botani-
cal Society of Washington, Mr.. o. +.
Cook discussed Evolution in Coffee;
its mutations described and causes
suggested" Coffee is the most i'm
portant crop grown from seed for the
seeds. 1t has been in cultivation for
about thousand years, but the selec-
ton of varieties has not been prac-
ticed. Nevertheless, sports or muta-
tions are rather frequent. Where sew
eral such varieties from other parts of
the world have been tested in the
plantations of Guatemala the new
sorts present great diversity in other
respects, but agree in being less fer
tile than the parent stock in actual
amount of weight of seeds. 1t is rea-
sonable to associate this relative or
complete sterility with the fact that
coffee has been unintentionally inbred,
new regions having usually been
stocked from single trees. And it is
further to be noted that reproductive
debility is a general characteristic of
other inbred domestic plants and of
the so-called sports or mutations
which appear among them. 1t is sug-
gested that both the sterility and the
mutations may be due to the same
cause, namely, to the absence of nor
NAL cross fertilization. This interpre-
tation accords with what may be
called kinetic theory of evolution
under which evolution is viewed as
physiological as well as a morphologi-
cal process.

Interests the Photographer.

The illustration shows the details
of a photometer for comparing the
relative values of a measured light
with that prevailing where a picture
is to be taken. Two dry batteries are
connected with small incandescent
lamp, which is located behind
translucent screen, with means for
varying the intensity of the rays
emitted by the filament of the lamp.
Let us suppose that the light to be
measured is projected against one side
of the screen, with this lamp shining
on the opposite side. If the measur-
ing light causes the exposed face of
the screen to glow or makes visible an
Opaque image or one less translucent

eonbardments to Prevent HaiIstorms

Bonbardments to Prevent HaiIstorms.
Congresses were held in Europe in
1899, 1900 and 1901 to discuss the re-
suits obtained by shooting cannon
toward storm clouds to prevent hail
on vineyards and other cultivated
lands beneath them. Statistics were
presented in great quantities and SUBJ
ventions were obtained from the gov
ernments of Austria and Italy to be
expended in aid of this form of pro-
lection. In 1899 the congress had no
doubt of the success of such expert
ments; in 1900 the result was ad
mitted to be doubtful and in 1901 to be
very doubtful. AS men of science all
over the world were sceptical from
the very first the Austrian minister of
agriculture has lately convened a COM
mittee of experts to study the ques-
ton and to advise him as to further
expenditures. A strong majority of
this committee has pronounced the
experiment very doubtful and a ma
jority has declared the reported sue

In an article on Air and Its Prop

is generally described as the closeness
in the air of rooms is due to ammonia
that has been deposited on the sur
faces of the room furnishings. This
is why, according to an authority
quoted by DIR. Bell. good airing will
sometimes not remove the closeness.
The only sure preventive of it is to
