A young girl was talking about mos

a place where they were numerous.
but I noticed" she said, that when
1 wore yellow dress 1 didn't get a
single bite"
Did you notice that?" said the young
scientist. And then he went on eagerly:
II am glad you noticed that, for it is
a verification of certain experiments
that we have made.
I'VE made these experiments in a
gauze tent, and their object was to as
certain the effect on mosquitoes of
colors.
I'VE placed in the tent boxes lined
with cloth of different hues, and we
found that the little pests crowded
frantically into the dark blue box,
while the yellow box they would not
under any circumstances enter.
1.-The experiments extended over sew
eral weeks. We had in the tent stone
vessels for the mosquitoes to breed in.
We discovered that, next to the dark
blue, the mosquitoes sought the dark
red box. After the dark red came
brown, then scarlet, then black, then
slate gray, then olive green, then violet,
then pearl gray, then white.
THUS we proved that mosquitoes
notice colors and we formulated two
helpful hints for the inhabitants OF
mosquito ridden districts.
"rhe first hint is to wear yellow to
escape mosquito bites and to use yellow
netting for bed canopies and window
screens
1.-The second hint is to use blue lined
box if you want to trap mosquitoes.
With this box in an infested region you
could easily catch and destroy thou
sands Of the insects daily"
