In connection with the investigation
OF the transmission Of disease by mos
quitoes some experiments have been
made recently tending to show that
these insects have a certain taste in
color, preferring dark surfaces to
light This was demonstrated by plac.
ing boxes lined with various colored
cloths on the floor Of an apartment In
Tested by mosquitoes and noticing that
while many of the, insects went into
the boxes lined with blue few went
into those with lighter colors. Accord
ingly from the results Of the obserya-
tions 1t was possible to arrange a
scale in the following order: Blue dark
red, brown, scarlet, black, slate, gray,
olive, green, violet, leaf green, pearl,
pale green, light blue, white. Further
more, it is asserted that an investlga-
tor entering a tent with white clothes
is far less likely to attract the mOsqui-
toes than one with gray flannel The
experiments while most interesting,
are not altogether convincing, and the
question has been advanced, why do
the mosquitoes attack the white flesh
Of the face and arms? Possibly in
such cases other elements ',2sides col

to be no reason why people living in
districts infested by mosquitoes should
not make practical tests on their own
account by selecting the colors OF their
clothing according to the above scale,

Before going to class, where he

DIR. B. overheard a student say that,
under its influence, no one was respon-

After the class assembled the doctor
quietly announced that, for the purpose

Young widow burn herself by the SIDE
of her deceased husband The funeral
pile was about ten feet high. In the
middle of the pile lay her deceased nus
band, an old and miserable looking
man. The devoted victim was n young
creature about seventeen. dressed in
white. with all her jewels on, There
was a confused noise of singing ana
shouting, intermiXed with the sound of
tomtoms and at intervals the hollow
and sonoroIls sound of songS and truin-
pets. The priests and her friends crowd
ed round her. all speaking to her nj
once. apparently TO distract her attcn-
ton and to prevent her shrinking III the
last moment from sacrificing herself.
There was a small tank of water
close to the funeral pile. They led her
to this l was very near her when
saw her quietly take the jewels from
her ears. her nose. unclasp her gold
bracelets as well as the bangles from
her ankles and every ornament she had
on. which were received by her rela-
tons.
She then stepped into the water. di-
vested herself of her clothes of pure
white and replaced them with clothes
Of yellow color. She then performed
her ablutions. came out of the water
and, unassisted. walked three times
round the pile. followed by the priests
and her friends. who at this period ap-
peared to be more urgent and loud in
their discourse to her to distract her
attention She then. unassisted. mounted
the pile. laid herself down by the side
of her husband and put his head under
her arm, turning herself toward him.
Then they sprinkled large quantities
Of oil and straw on the pile. The fa-
tai fire was then applied. and amid

words "Nirva. Nirva!"

But in saving her life l stood the

PITH AND POINT.

In order to be popular forget to say
good deal
Wisdom is always conceded to rich
man until he loses his riches.
Do not emphasize your own virtues
by enlarging on the failings of others,
A safe way to judge a man is to as
certain just what friends he doesn't
make.
A genius is man who refuses to be-
Iieve in the impossibilities of other
people.
The claims to wisdom Of owls and a
multitude of men rest upon their looks,
and nothing more.
To get rid of bore ask him to re-
peat his longest and favorite story
twice. Even he cannot stand that.
Only smart man can conceal from
a woman the fact that he isn't as
smart as he would wish her to think
he is.
One of the curious things about a
man who wants to borrow money from
you today is his eager determination
to repay it tomorrow.
There are three stages in the exist
ence of the average man when he is of
particular interest to his community
viz. at his birth, marriage and funeral.

Electric Railroad
NOTES

No better evidence OF the develop
ing influence of the electric railway
can be found than along a line built
some four years ago between Grand
Rapids and Muskegon, Mich. The
two cities are about forty miles apart
and for about twenty miles out from
Grand Rapids there is fine farming
country. The other twenty miles
was nothing but a wilderness OF pine
stumps and blackberry brambles be-
fore the electric line was built.
Now this section for considerable
distance each side OF the line is
being put into small fruit farms and
is made to support good population
where before was none. The dis
tauce to market made the land for
fruit growing Of little or no value.
With the electric railway the fruit
is simply loaded On car in the
morning and half an hour later can
be at either Muskegon or Grand
Rapids, nice and fresh. The line
was built by John ID. Hawks OF
Detroit, who 1t is understood is a
nephew of Judge Hawks OF Greeley
1t was the pioneer interuroan line OF
that section of Michigan which now
has connections with nearly every
part OF the state. And all this in
the brief space OF four years. All
that and more may be looked for in
the Poudre valley when an electric
railway is built here.
