Mosquito Shuns the Skyscraper.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
The skyscraper is unquestionably an en-
envy to the mosquito, and we need not go
out of New Orleans to establish the fact.
1t has been known for some time that the
mosquito was not high f1yer-that is he
was not in the habit of getting very far
away from the earth The wind will occa
sionally blow him up but he never gets
very far up in the air unless forced up
against his will. He always roosts close to
the ground. l was talking with Col. An
drew Blakeley Of the st. Charles Hotel the
other day about this same matter, and he
assured me that he had established the fact
beyond peradventure that the mosquito was
not in the least inclined to select the higher
floors OF skyscrapers for places of habita-
ton. Col Blakeley during the entire sum-
of the st. Charles Hotel. He kept the tram.
som closed so that mosquitoes could not get
in from the inside, but left the windows
OPEN The result was that he has been able
to sleep without mosquito bar.
The idea In closing the transom was to
shut out the mosquitoes that might find
their way to the top floor accident.
For instance, the insects are often carried
up to their higher floors in elevators, or
they make their way up the Stairways by
degrees, they might be carried up In
clothes. With the transom closed insects
shut out of thAerooms, providing, of course,
the doors be not left OPEN
The experiment In Col. Blakeley's case
proved successful and he established the
fact that the mosquito was not in the air
at that height. If they had been they would
have been blown In through the open win
dow. The mosquito as said before, roosts
close to the ground, and he Is not at all
fond of the dizzy heights of the modern
skyscraper.

Bernhardt and the Cross.
IS Cor. London Telegraph

Paris Cor. London Telegraph.
In Paris Nine. Sarah Bernhardt's name
has been proposed by the minister of pub
lie instruction and fine arts for the Cross
of Knight of the Legion of Honor. The
grand chancery Of the order. with which
the final decision rests, is now considering
the list of nominations. Every one hopes
that the decoration will be conferred on the
famous actress this time. 1t is an open
secret that she has been more than once be-
fore proposed for the Legion of Honor. But
the minister's nomination In her favor has
been each time rejected by the grand chan
Gerry, which, strange as it may seem in
this land of dramatic art, entertains old
world prejudices against the stage. Hith-
erto not one French actor or actress has
been decorated as actor or actress, but
In every case as a professor at the Con-
servatoire, or else for charitable work.

PERILs OF BARK FEELING.
Life Daily Risk From Mosquitoes,
Copperheads and Rattlesnakes.

Williamsport Cor. Philadelphia Record.
An army of husky woodsmen throughout
central Pennsylvania timber woods have
just completed another seasons bark peel
ing. May, June and July are the months in
which the bark peelers hump themselves,
and between the time necessary to kill rat
tlesnakes and fight mosquitoes, the peelers
are tearing great slabs of brown coating
off ponderous hemlocks and cutting the
latter into board lengths for the loggers
next winter. Except for the hazardous
work of log driving there is no branch of
numbering that commands the wages or en-
tails the dangers that bark peeling does.
Scores of hardly chaps who gladly accept
employment in sawmillS or at logging when
snow lies on the ground would no more
help peel bark than they would fly. The
danger of falling trees must be reckoned
with but the principal drawback is the
experiences had with snakes-ratttlers and
copperheads. On Cooks run this season
alone two crews of bark peelers killed
seventy-eight rattlesnakes and over forty
copperheads. Two men were bitten by the
rattlers and third by copperhead. As
copperheads than they are of the rattlers,
for the reason that this variety of snake
appears to have liking for the smell and
cool of the fresh bark, SO that they curl
up under slab of bark and are often
lifted up by the men before their presence
is discovered.
Bark peelers are the trail blazers of the
lumber woods. They push back into I'M
broken wildernesses and deep swamps. SO
that the denizens and dangers of the forest
are theirs to contend with originally.
Mosquitoes during June and July are a
dangerous pest. Bark peelers have gone
blind from the onslaught of the pests,
stirred up by the swarms in the deep, dank
swamps. Every peeler each morning is
provided at camp with half-pint bottle
filled with mixture of coal tar and sweet
oil and this Stnff iS anDlia6 nd
hands and arms, though care must be used
not to get it in the eyes, else a lay-off of
several days Will be required to doctor up
the optics. Bark peelers are also always

Where They Fight Over Mascagni.
From the London Globe.

An extraordinary scene was witnessed at
Pesaro the other evening. Several years
ago Mascagni was dismissed from the di-
rectorshfp of the local conservatory. and
since that time, to avoid danger of demon
STATIONS, his music has been excluded from
public orchestral concerts in the town. The
other evening popular sentiment was
thought 10 have sufficiently subsidized for the
relaxing OF this rule. and the overture to
'CaVallerla Rusticana" was given. This
proved disastrous Partisans for and
against the composer began to utter cries
blows were struck and before long the null
titude in the piazza was in such indescriba-
BILE uproar that the concert had to be aban.

Two men were killed, two were severely
injured and six were hurt in a mine aeci-

There was some coal overhead that was
dangerous. The men had just fired blast,
shooting quantity of coal down. and had
started to shovel 1t into cars when a run of
ten inches thick fell from above, crushing
the men to the floor.
