be prosecuted under the antitrust law
as soon as the necessary evidence Is
obtained by the department of justice
Attorney General Knox looks to the
Interstate commission for most of it,

lawyers on his staff here. the necessary
facts for such prosecution, and al

United states supreme court that il has

and will require the roads to disclose
their pooling arrangements, their trans

HOW MALARIAL FEVER IS
CARRIED BY MOSQUITOES
On Shoulders of AnopheIes Scientific Research
Has Shifted All the Blame

On the slight shoulders of the an
parently harmless mosquito, scientific
research has laid all the blame for
malaria> fevers, the bugaboos of many
sections of the country. As a result.
the little buzzing insect that has here
tofore been the cause of much pro-
family and constant shaping, instead
of occupying his former position as a
great annoyance and an uncomfortable
pest, now becomes an object of
real danger and one to be stunned.
The connection between malaria and
the mosquito had long been suspected
by medical experts, but a series of ex-
periments, FIRST in Italy and then in
Cuba and this country during the
Spanish American War, has now ex-
aotly established this connection. 1t is
no longer merely medical theory, but
a perfectly demonstrated fact.
In the summer of 1900 a number of
English physicians went to Italy, built
a mosquito-proofs house in the most
malarial part of the country and lived
there during the fever season. They
drank the marsh water, exposed them
selves to the night air, and did every
thing that was commonly supposed to
produce malarial fever. In spite of
this, however. they came forth perfect
ly healthy.
Then another experiment was tried.
Certain mosquitoesathat had bitten a

carried from place to place, and the
standing of the old theory that it was
contracted from swamp vapors and
from stagnant water said:
Though it is absolutely certain that
the mosquito known as the Anopheles
carries the malaria from place to place
and conveys it to persons whom it
bites, the other theories have not been
entirely abandoned. Air and water
still have something to do with it, in
all possibility if not probability, though
the common source is the mosquito.
''Of recent years the subject has been
extensively studied and much has been
written. concerning it. An army ply
stefan and surgeon called my attention
to a fact that he had observed, name
ly, that in many sections malaria de-
creased after rains, but as soon as the
drying off process had proceeded for
some time, that it increased. Trees are
believed to act somewhat as a screen,
though it is probably the case that
they stop the mosquitoes, and do not
cleanse the air of any chance malarial
germs.
''It was noticed in recent test that
air blowing from a malarial district
brought malaria with it until it had
reached a heavy line of trees. Points
beyond were practically immune This
test was made before the mosquito was

malarial patient at Rome were sent
to London and there allowed to bite a
physician who had never had malaria
nor been exposed to it. He promptly
developed malaria and in his blood
were found malarial organisms of the
same type as those from which the
Roman patient was suffering. The
demonstration could not have been
more complete, and subsequent expert
ments have served only to confirm its
results.
The MaIariaI Mosquito.
The investigation continued showed
that the only mosquito that carried ma
laria about with him was that known
as the Anopheles, a species that can be
easily recognized. The most common
mosquito is the Culex, and save for
his annoying bites, he is harmless. The
dangerous Anopheles can be easily dis
tinguished from the Culex.
The AnoSheles has wings which are
more or less spotted, and the two little
projections beside the beak are nearly
as long as the beak itself, two features
wanting in the Culex. The most east
ly distinguishable feature, however, is
the method in which the Anopheles
rests on the wall or the hand.
The Culex. when resting upon the

five to fifteen days, depending on the
climatic conditions, the eggs hatch, the
offspring go through the first stages
of development, and the mosquito
starts forth on his death-dealing err
rand, especially if he be Anopheles
or the SteSonyia, the yellow-fever
bearing insect.
Knowing this much, 1t is compare
lively easy to do away with the dan
gers of malaria, by doing away with
the breeding places of the Anopheles.
Because stagnant water is necessary
for the mosquito, and little such water
is found in cities, is one of the rea-
sons why malaria is less frequent in
the city than in the country. One
OF the leading physicians of Savan-
nah has laid down these rules as pre-
ventive of the disease:
Have the home thoroughly screened
with fine wire netting, and mosquito
nets should be on beds.
Under the general measures for de-
stroying mosquitoes should be men,
toned the clearing away of vines,
shrubbery and underbrush and keep
ing the grass cut close.
Malarial patients should be consid-
cred as direct sources, the method of
carrying the fever being always kept
in mind. If the mosquito is absent
there is no danger of infections from
the patient.
Female Mosquitoes Alone Danger
Ous.
There is no great cause for alarm
in Savannah, say the majority of the
physicians consulted, if only the proper
precautions are taken. The great ma
Jority OF the mosquitoes are so far
as known, harmless. Then, too. it is
fI,ok IL,
gerous, and her bite only when she is
malaria-infected. The anopheles does
not produce malaria at all times and
under all circumstances.
A number of the leading physicians
of Savannah were consulted concern
ing maliria, it's method of propaga-
ton and infection, and the general
health conditions of Savannah in that
regard All were unanimous in pro-
nouncing Savannah healthy city and
all, even the older physicians, who be-
gan practicing under the old theories,
have recognized that the mosquito is
the insect that carries malaria.
. Little Malaria in Savannah.
That the conditions existing in Sa-
Vannah are hostile to the Anopheles is
the opinion of DR.. T. P. Warning. There
are very few, he said, if any, cases of
malaria contracted in the city. In dis
cusslng the matter he said:
There is very little. if any, malarial
FEVER contracted in Savannah. If the
source of the majority of the cases are
sought out it will be found almost in
variably that the patient has either
been visiting in the country or been
around another malarial sufferer when
the Anopheles mosquito was about, to
carry the germs. The absence of stand
ing water in which the mosquito can
breed probably accounts for this fact.
The genus Anopheles," continued
DR.. Waring, lis by no means common.
The sight of a mosquito need not cause
any undue alarm. BY far the greater
portion of the mosquitoes that are fly
ing about are of the harmless variety.
The Anopheles is rare rather than COM
mon."

Aess Numpbacked. that is to say, the
head and beak are not in the same
plane with the body and wings, but
project at an angle toward the sur
face on which the insect is resting, the
body and wings being parallel with
the wall. With Anopheles. however,
the head and beak are in practically
the same plane with the body and the
body itself is usually placed at an an
gle with the wall. and especially when
resting upon a horizontal wall, such as
the ceiling of room, the body OF
Anophees is at a very great angle with
the surface, almost perpendicular.
There are three species of Anopheles in
this country, the Anopheles crucians be-
ing the one most prevalent in the
South.
How Malaria il. PropaGated.
When the Anopheles bites a person
who has not previously suffered from
malaria. there is secreted into the
blood from the mosquito a very minute
parasitic organism, belonging to the
lowest group of the animal kingdom,
one-celled animals. This parasite en-
tiers the red corpuscles of the blood
and begins reproducing by sub-divid-
ing.
The parasite keeps on steadily repro
uuGnlS ana increasing anu lhH hNNAN
ones live by eating the vital matter Of
the blood corpuscle. Finally they break
open the cell and enter the blood sys-
TEN as a mass of spores. Each of these
spores seeks out a new red corpuscle
and attacks II. and so the process goes
on indefinitely until treatment kills off
these little parasites or death ends the
suffering OF the victims.
Qunine is known TO kill off these
spores and a study Of the blood of
person that is being treated with quiz
p.ue SHOWS exactly the good effects of
this method Of treatment. In fact IL
Is the only known sure treatment for the
malarial parasite.
How the mosquito gets his malaria
- not yet certain. save in cases where
he bites a person already a sufferer
In these cases when the blood OF the
human being Is sucked into the stom-
acn OF the mosquito, the malarial par
asite which goes In with it undergoes
