Had a Boy Go Out Into the Marsh
and Catch Me Half a Dozen of the
Insects.
Whenever L disturb the bottle the
mosquitoes are passive. being evident
ly afraid of any motion. Hint number
three: Hire a lot of small boys to
splash the waters of a swamp and
throw clubs at the grass and bushes.
''All six of the insects have settled
close together on the meat and are eat
ing away in perfect harmony This
seems to prove that the mosquito is
either no hog or that there is enough
meat for all. and that there is no occa-
sion to fight among themselves Hint
number four: If the selfishness and
greed of the mosquito could be aroused
and result in fighting among them
selves, wouldn't humanity have a bet
ter chance of escape?
1T is 20 minutes since the insects
tackled the meat, and they are still
gorging themselves. This goes to prove
that when a mosquito settles on the
back of a farmers neck he is there
to stay, and that any hopes of his
taking his departure after three or four
bites is vain one. There is a hint
here, but do not know exactly what it
is
Have poked the mosquitoes off the
meat with a straw and they have set
tied on the sides of the bottle and have
an injured look. They show a DISPOSE
ton to find some place of hiding, and
grieve over my inhumanity. Hint num-
Der six: Injure the feelings of mos
quito, if possible, and thereby drive
him into hiding.
Il have introduced a portion of
pea-pod into the bottle, and the in
sects have settled on 1t and are gnaw-
ing away with the utmost gusto. Hint
number seven: This seems to prove
that mosquitoes bite human beings
simply because human beings happen
to be handy. Could they not be taught
to put in all their time biting vege&l-
bles, trees, lumber yards, ETC.?
''I have introduced a lump of sugar
saturated with brandy and am

Three Ctrikes.

The old adage that. lightning never
strikes twice in the same place" has often
been disproved. Here is an instance in
point: In the summer of 1884 the farm
house of Henry Axten in Chemung coun-
ty, n. Y, was struck by lightning three
times in one day. First it split the Chin
ney from top to bottom, ruined stove and
pipe and bored several large holes in the
floor. An hour later bolt" struck the
same house and.tore milk bench. upon
which several cans of milk were setting,
all to pieces. The same evening a third
flash entered the roof and tore the legs
from a bedstead.-Middletown Times.

how many mosquitoes there are in
certain swamp if they don't get out of
it.
PLACED in a subdued light the mos
quito at once becomes lively and looks
around for a victim. / introduced a
small piece of raw meat into the bottle
and the six insects at once mistook it
for farmer passing a swamp and
hoped on to it. In the act of biting
they kick out with their hind legs. Hint
number two: If a mosquito can't bite
without kicking at the same time, then
It is only needed to cement his hind
legs to his body to make him harmless.
