Our usually well informed Louisiana
Democrat has found a subject on which
it expresses a serions doubt-the length
Of life of the notorious stegomyia-and
no wonder after the following summary
on tho subject:
"There seems to he still some linger-
ing doubt as to the length of life of the
mosquito, we mean the a%ristOcratic
Stegomyia and not the low bred marsii
mosquito. We presume, however, the
question will be finally determined by
the scientists sometime in advance of
the arrival of the millennium. We
were told in the first place that it lived
60 days, then some other better in
formed scientist said 80, bat DR.. White
and the Marine Hospital service, to be
more exact, put it up to 101 days. Now,
DR.. Won Ezdorf goes him n better
and says 154 days."
