Iioston July 3.--The Brooklyn board
of health, which Is systematically ex-
terminating mosquitoes by means Of
kerosene oil. is now about to take up
? suggestion calling attention to a new
process Of lessening evil BY means Of
musical sounds. The diseoyerer Of the
new process says; 1T has been found
that practical application has been ef-
fected by raising to great number Of
vibrations per second the particular
note to which the mosquito is most sem
sitively attuned. This intensified note
produced by sudden electrical impulse
upon a musical instrument causes
every mosquito near to plunge head

HE'LL BE HEARD AGAIN.

All forecasts from Washington in
regard to the work of the November
session of congress include the state
ment that Senator Morgan is wound
up for a long talk, or for many long
talks, about the Nicaragua canal.
They say that the senator will "re-
sumo his argument. Months ago,
everybody was saying that the senator
had exhausted the argument and, in
deed, the canal itself. For one thing,
Senator Morgan has the gift-he is an
old man, but he can talk on and on,
at a long distance rate that would ex-
haust most men.
Then, too, Mr.. Morgan can come up
smiling and in good form. Last
spring, when he was accused of hold
ing the senate up, the senate ma jority
and large public impatiently insist
ed that his words were a waste of
time, that the Panama route was a
sure thing anyhow, and that his con-
duct was unwarrantably facticious.
All this prophecy has fallen to the
ground. The administration theory
that all that was wanted was the fed
eral senator S approval of the proposed
treaty, word for word and line for line
as it was submitted to the senate, has
proved to be utterly wrong. Senator
Morgan's position is, at least, logical.
He can say, II told you so,' and the
facts sustain him.
When the two houses convene IN the
November session the senate will be
ready for business, but the house must
organize. That process will consume
al days; during those days Mr.
Morgan is liable to get the floor and
hold it.-Anacodna Standard.
