from the Enclosure that they were heard.
The count pulled the bell gently, then

'Frere, frere, c'est moi"

AS we made our wet descent to Saint
Laurent-du-Pont we passed the still I'M

for great mountain sticks, but a certain un-

What would even a thousand unarmed

THE FLIGHT OF MOSQUITOES.
Nature.

Nature.
When Drs. Stephens and Christophers,
the Royal Society's commission on ma
lara, were In India, Captain s. p. James
had the advantage of being associated with
them, and his book contains the result of
his own observations, both at hat time
and since.
The chapter on the causes which infu-
ence the spread of malaria in different
parts of India, in which the writer has
been helped by Drs. Stephens and Chris
tophers, is one OF the most VALUABLE in the
book. The data therein cited clearly show
the great general influence on the preva-
species of anopheles present, and to the
nearness and abundance of anopheles
breeding grounds. The number of species
OF anopheleS in India is large, and previous
description of them Inadequate. A consid-
cradle and well illustrated part of the
present monograph therefore is devoted to
the differentiation of the various species
of Indian anopheles, and promises to be of
high practical value in future malaria in
vestigations. The remarks on the subject
of the favorite breeding places of the vari-
Gus species of anopheles are also of i'm
p~ortance, and show how thorough inquiry
in this direction ought to be. Captain
Jamess observations on the usual distance
of flight Of anopheles in India go to show
that this rarely, If ever, exceeds half a
mile, and therefore that at this distance
from a focus of infection I'VE are prac-
tically safe from malaria" With regard
to the influence of altitude. It has been
found that under 1900 feet has no effect
by itself on the prevalence of malaria in
India.
In reference to the prevention of malaria,
the following remarks of Captain James
are significant: Complete protection from
malaria (and blackwater fever may be in
sured by any individual who is willing to
take the trouble to pay scrupulous atten-
ton TO the use of a good mosquito curtain
at night, and to protect himself adequate
ly from being bitten by mosquitoes during
the evening hours. If these simple precau-
tons are taken Ii is quite unnecessary to
use quinine as a phophylactic. No other
precautions than these have been used by
any of us during our tours through some
of the most malarious parts of India, and
none of us have experienced a days fever
during this time. By the use of the same
precautions also, and without taking any
quinine. DIR. Stephens previously passed
two years in the most malarious parts of
Africa, without a single attack of malaria"

mummy cases, and said to have germi-

He wished TO know whether this particu-

Watching q Spider at Work.

Watch a spider spin his web, and 1

worker, and there is something almost ter
rifying about the skill with which he
match's head. yet, inclosed within that

which is able first to prospect the area
for his web, then to plan it out like a
geometrician, and then TO carry out his
plan with workmanlike precision. Mean
while, 200, 1t must be remembered, he is
rot only doing his thinking and his wcav-
ing, but also spinning the material for IL,
all in that mite of a body. But perhaps
the u~ncanniest feature of the whole thing
is that the spider not merely has his plan

CATER DARK, BANKING.
Features of a Novel Experiment I'm the
New York Uptown Districts.
New York Evening Post.

The decision of the Waldorf-Astoria Trust
Company to keep open ''after hours" for
the accommodation of theater-goers and
downtown business men who do not reach
the residential districts till late in the aft
ernoon, suggests the ever-increasing use
of checks in American cities for purposes
of "hand-to-hand' money. No other center
in the world could probably make a sue
cess of ''after-dark' banking, and while
the present venture is experimental, it is
undertaken in response to a legitimate de-
mand from thousands of people who find it
~inconvenient to visit a bank before three
succeeds, 1t will no doubt prolong the bust
ness hours of most uptown banks.
Berlin bankers close their doors during
the noon dinner hour. and Holland institu-
tons are similarly shut a portion of each
day. Banks in American cities are never
closed, except on extraordinary occasions,
