lii estimated that the railroad tax
for the present year will show a gain of
more than 100000 over the tax of the
two years ago. This railroad tax is
based upon the gross transportation
earnings of the roads, the rates rang
ing from one-fourth of one per cent to
four per cent, according to the amount
of the earnings. The large increase in
the tax is gratifying as showing the in
creased business done by the railroads
and the general progress and prosperity
of the State; and locally it means an in
crease in the amount Belfast will re-

MOSQUITOES AT KEY WEST.
Place Hitherto Immune Now Threat
ened With Malaria.

Anopheles mosquitoes have been dscov-
cred in Key West Fla, by George N Mac
Donnell. who Is an undergraduate in med
icine and member of the fourth-year
class of the College of Physicians and Sur
geons, Atlanta, Ga. The fact Is reported
to the marine hospital service of this city
by DR.. G. H. Gardiner, passed assistant
surgeon of the marine hospital service, who
seems to regard it of Importance. The
matter may be of interest in Washington
also because the anopheles breed of the
mosquito is thought to be thick here and
to be constantly 1T work among the cit
liens OF this city-in fact, earning their
daily diet from among and off them. In
doing SO he or she is believed to transmit
malaria in extensive quantities.
Key West people are alarmed and are
anopheles to that town. for it is not only
an anopheles, but its proper title is "ano-
pheles albipes, Theobald." Mr.. mcdonnell
ide ntified them fully, and specimens were
sent TO Prof. l.. .. Howard, the government
entomologist, and he had no difficulty in
locating the species.
According to DR.. Gardiner, Key West
has for years enjoyed immunity from ma
larial fevers of all kinds, and it is now re-
called that systematic searches of the is
land have heretofore failed to demonstrate
the presence of any of the genus anopheles.
Dr. Gardiner believes that the new mos
quito was introduced into Key West by
fru1t-carrylnS vessels from Vera Cruz, New
Mexico, where they are plentiful. and
where they are supposed to have caused
an unsual and malignant form of malaria.
DR.. Gardiner recommends that measures
be taken to stamp out the anopheles in Key
West, and the citizens would be glad to
know what to do.
DR.. Gardiner says the first of the insects
discovered was July %, and since that time
thirty-six have been captured, only two
being males. Tire two males were found in
stable In Key West They seem to have
been working on the horses of the town,
and were cons!derate enough to give the
more tender humanity to the females. How
much longer this division will keep up
among the genders of the anopheles DIR.
Gardiner does not undertake to report.

INVESTIGATION OF THE TICK.
DR.. Stiles Denies That It Commune
Gates Spotted Fever.


The tick does not communicate the much
dreaded spotted fever of the Rocky noun
tains, according to a preliminary report
Just made to the marine hospital service
by c. W. Stiles, chief of the division OF
zoology who has returned from the Bitter
Root valley of Montana, where the raw
ages of the disease this summer have ere
ated terror. After the discovery that mos
quitoes transmit yellow fever and probably
malaria the idea was suggested that the
western tick was the medium of convey
ing spotted fever.
DIR. Stiles says the tick theory has caus-
ed serious financial loss to the Bitter Root
valley and elsewhere, and has produced eff
fects which have bordered on hysteria. In
closing his report DR.. Stiles says:
In justice to the property interests of the
valley and the peace of mind of the in
habitants. l think no time should be lost
In publishing the. statement that the re-
suits of study this year have absolutely
and totally failed to confirm the hypothe-
sis that the tick is at the bottom of the dis
ease"
DR.. Stiles also worked on the theory that
the disease originates from a pyroplasma
in the dirty little gophers of the western
plains. He doubts If such a parasite In
rodents would develop in man. He like
wise finds arguments of a zoogeographic
nature against assuming that spotted fever
originates In gopherS. he says that the
little spermophiles of the Bitter Root val
ley are frequently invested with fieas and
lice, and less frequently with ticks. The
tick that is common in the valley is found
on horses. cattle and dogs, and often on
man, but there Is nothing, he says. to indi-
cate that alternating animal is neces-
sary for their development
DR.. Stiles was unable to confirm any por-
ton of the theory that all cases of spotted
fever are preceded by tick bites He ex-
2nnfnpd ha q
unable to establish that ticks had bitten

A NEW DEPARTURE.
The Government to Breed Domestic
Animals and Fowls.

The government is gaing into the horse
breeding business. Plans are now under
consideration by the Department of Agri-
culture for the expenditure of the $4,000
appropriated by the last Congress for the
purpose of breeding domestic animals and
fowls Especial attention, it is understood,
will be given to the raising OF horses, both
for cavalry and carriage purposes and prep
arations to this end are now being made
at the Fort Collins experiment station, in
Colorado.
At other stations in various parts of the
United States experiments will be conduct
ed with full blooded chickens. cows, sheep
and hogs. and Secretary Wilson is deter
mined that the limit of excellence in each
class shall be reached. The progress OF the
experiment Is being watched with interest
by breeders and cattlemen throughout the
country.
Col. Clarence R. Edwards has made an
arrangement with the Agricultural DepA
ment by which experiments for breeding
large horses for use in the Philippines are
to be made For this purpose thoroughbred
horses from Tennessee and Kentucky have
been shipped to the archipelago.
