ordinary fear produced by an outbreak
of yellow fever is that heretofore. so
little has been positively known OF
the origin. character and manner OF
transmission of the disease, but a
great GeaI of accurate information
on the subject has been obtained dur
ing recent years, and scores Of men
Of high medical and scientific attain
ments are now giving close, patient
and fearless investigation to the dis
ease in all its features. The eonse-
quence is a radical change in the
methods OF combating it and prevent
ing its spread. Instead Of a Gordon Of
quarantine guards armed with Shot
guns, the sanitary force is provided
with bolts Of cheese cloth, tack ham
mers and oil cans.
However hard it is for the average
person to believe 1t, the Investigations
and evidence appear TO prove conclu-
sively that the propagation and trans
mission of yellow fever are cue to the
sting of a certain species Of mosquito
known to science as the "StegCmyia
faciata," but by railroaders and other
plain people variously called the
striped" zebra, ebay" ''Hondu-
ras' and banana mosquito. To the
ordinary mortal all mosquitoes lock
alike and sing in the same song, but.
50 far, the evidence duplicates the
stegomyia is the only species that
transmits the yellow fever germ. and
that the powers to 90 so Is confined TO
the female insect. This accusation
against the lady stegCmyia did not
originate with an old, 'sOured bachelor,
but. we are assured, is the result of
careful. scientific investigation. It is
therefore the part Of wisdom to be
dead sure of the sex Of your mosquito
before falling into a fit of fright, run
ming away or grabbing your gun.

MOSQUITO LEGEND
FROM INDIAN LORE.
~ 2 2 y Xxx

There were pretty big mosquitoes in
Jersey. but if report be true, they have
greatly degeuerated in size and
strength since the days when this
legend was believed by many Of the
Indians.
The grandfather of all mosquitoes
lived in the neighborhood Of Ononda-
ga, N. Y. When he grew hungry he
would sally forth and eat an Indian
or two. and pick his teeth with their
ribs. The Indians had no arms that
would prevail against this monster.
They called upon the Holder of Heav-
ems, who heard their prayer and came
down and attacked the insect. Find
ing that he met his match, the mOsqui.
to flew away. He flew around great

the witches that inhabited the great
lake and had reached Lake OnOndaga
when his pursuer came up and killed
him. The creature was a long time

shore in his death struggle.
As his blood poured forth on the
sand each drop became a smaller
mosquito They gathered about the
Holder Of the Heavens and stung him
so cruelty that he half-repented the
service he had rendered to the n
dams.
The Tuscaroras say that two of the
mosquitoes stood on opposite sides Of
the Seneca river and slew all who
passed. Hiawatha killed them. A
reservation stone marks the place
where the Holder rested during his
chase, and tracks we're until lately
seen south Of Syracuse, alternated
with the footprints of the mosquito.
These footprints we're shaped like
those of a birds and were twenty
inches long. These marks, says the
Washington star, were revered by the
Indians for many years.

It is astonishing what a widespread
panic and fright is created by an oc-
casionaI appearance Of yellow fever
in any Of the Southern states. People
residing at remote and wholly immune
points appear 10 suffer more from
this fright than those living in or near
infected points. Statistics published
quite recently show that the percent
age Of mortality from typhoid fever
a very malignant disease, known to
be transmittable-in two of the larg-
est Eastern cities was greater than
for a corresponding period from gel
low fever in New Orleans, and but
slight mention is made Of it. If 1t
were not so serious. the fright exhib-
tied by people north Of MasOn-Dixon
would be highly ludicrOUs. Some OF
them would fee from the sight Of a
Tennessee cotton bloom It would
appear that if there is anything that
IS totally incapable of carrying or
communicating this fever it would be
cypress lumber, and yet a prominent

cypress In Louisiana has found it ad-
ylsable to obtain from the chief Of the
health Office, and 70 publish in the
newspa pers. a certificate to the ef-
feet that neither the yellow fever nor
the mosquito that propagates il can
be transported on lumbeT-laden cars.
When the stegomyia makes a journey
by rail It doesn't travel in hobo style,
but takes the sleeper. Pretty soon
the wild geese and cranes may catch
the panic and refuse to start on their
annual migration to the Gulf coast IN

the corn is in the shock.
