SINGING MOSQUITOES.


Birds Suffer More From These Pests
Than Does Man.
Birds suffer more than man from
the mosquito" naturalist said. Ere
quently the mosquito cant get at man,
but birds he can always get ut.
"The male mosquito is harmless. He
never stings. II is the female who
does all the mischief. Male and fe-
male alike live through the winter.
"After the mosquitoes egg is first
Matched, the creature that issues forth
is called a wrlggler The wrlggler
lives in water in marshy pools, in the
puddles and the OoZe of low lying
meadows. He is like tiny snake, and
he must come to the surface to breathe.
"IIence kerosene rs mosquito eX-
terminator. Ladle out Kerosene on a
pool of water and two tablespoonfuls
will spread until they cover elfectually
fifteen square feet This oily cover
ing is air tight as Il skin. If there
are any wrigglers in the water under
it they must die; they must smother.
"Some think mosquitoes feed on
blood alone. This is Il mistake. If a
mosquito can't get human blood or
bird blood or animal blood, it stabs
plants and feeds on their juices."-

A STRANGE INSECT.
The A1vetO Is HnIr Plant and Us
Found I'm New XcnInnd.

The AwetO Is Half Plant and lis
Found In New ZcnInnd.
The aweto as the Muoris, or natives
Of New Zealand, call it, or Hipalis vi
rescens, as naturaists term it, is found
in New Zealand and is vegetable ca
terpillar of from three to four inches in
length and so far science has not been
able TO say whe.her it is a vegetable or
an insect. 1t is always found at the
foot of large myrtle trees that have
beautiful red flowers on their stems
and a beautiful creeping clematis as
white as the snow. The Maoris call
this tree by the name of rata. The
awetO buries itself among the roots of
the rata a few inches below the ground
and there lives until it is full grown,
when 1t undergOes most wonderful
change. The sp0re of a vegetable fun
gus, termed by naturNlisti Sophoeria
robertsii, fastens itself to the neck of
the caterpillar just between the head
and the first ring and then grows up
ward to the height of from six to eight
inches. Many people assert that there
is never more than one stem, but such
is not the case, for some have been
found with two stems, although very
rarely.
The stem shoots up out of the ground
above where the caterpillar is living
about two or three inches. Below the
earth il grows into the awetO until it
fills up every possible space within the
outer skin without changing the form
of the insect in the slightest way what
soeyer, but simply substituting a vege-
table matter for animal matter. AS
soon as this takes place both the plant
and caterpillar become dry and hard
and die, but retain exact" the same
form as when alive. The whole has a
brown color, and the insec. appears a
wooden caterpillar with a huge horn
standing up from the back of its neck,
How the caterpillar manages to propa-
gate its species no one can tell Usual
ly the caterpillar becomes a chrysalis,
the chrySalis changes into a moth. the
moth lays eggs, and these eggs again
become caterpillars, and so on without
stopping. Many reasons are given why
the plant shoots up from the back of
the neck of the awetO. One is that the
aweto has a Shiny substance oozng out
from its neck, which while the aweto Is
boring at the foot of the rata tree for
its only food catches the seeds of the
fungus and holds it fast there till the
latter begins to grow When it has
sucked all The vegetable life out of the
aweto it must naturally die, for it finds
no further nOurishmcnt. The aweto is
often found in large numbers.

EGGS AS FOOD.
Though NelrIy tIalf Water They Are
Extremely Nutritious.

iAtfehltly NutritiOuh.
The white of an egg is nearly seven
eighths water, the balance being pure
albumen. The yolk is slightly less than
one-half water. These figures apply
approximately to the eggs of turkeys,
hens, geese ducks and guinea fowls.
TO show how nearly alike the eggs
of various domestic fowls are in re-
spcct to composition, the following fig
ures are given by the department Of
agriculture:
Hens egg-Fifty per cent water, 10
per cent protein, 33 per cent fat
Ducks cgg-Forty per cent water,
II per cent protein, SO per cent fat.
Goose egg-FOrty-fO per cent wa
ter, 10 per cent protein, 80 per cent
fat
Turkey egG-Forty- eight per cent wa
ter, 1S per cent protein, SO per cent fat
1t should be explained that protein
is the stuff that goes to make muscle
and blood. Fat of course Is fuel for
running the body machine. Thus it
will be seen that eggs, though half or
nearly half water, are extremely nu-
trltiOus, containing all the clements re-
quircd for the building and support of
the human body. But the old saying
that an egg contains as much nutri-
ment ms Il pound of beefsteak Is far
from correct. 1t would be nearer the
fact to estimate a pound Of eggs as
equal TO pound of lean beefstcak in
nourshing power.-Saturday Evening

cabinet meeting held in January. 1904
when the question of the use of Indian
funds in sectarian schools was discuss
ed, and the president asked for an opin-

contracts be made for the use of such
funds by denominational educational
institutions.

Senator Knox. then attorney general
decided that the action of congress in
declaring it TO be the policy of the gov

lie moneys of the American people for
sectarian purposes did not repeal pre-
vious laws giving the secretary of the
interior discretion TO use Indian funds
in any manner he saw fit. Certain
laws were cited to direct attention to
the presidents authority in that re-
gard.
