ORIGIN OF MOSQUITOES.

New Orleans, Aug. 28.--A new
theory is advanced with regard to
mosquitoes by an observer who says
he believes the mosquitoes deposit
their eggs in the atmosphere and
fall with the rain. lie points out an
experiment which he has made,
Cover a barrel just after it rained
full of water with an oil cloth sc
that no mosquitoes can possibly gel
into it in the Summer time, and in
regular course upon removing the
cover wiggletails and young mos
quitos will be found. He says that
a tank or cistern caught full Of water
in the winter time, even if left I'm,
covered during the Summer, will
never have wiggletails. lie believes
the mosquito germs come out Of the
soil as well as the atmosphere.

Editor Times-D Democrat:
Reading in this mornings paper
about the information wanted by DR..
J. R. Samples, Of Summit, Miss, re-
gard.ng Mrs. W., Of this city, when
she went there in 1878 and brought
the yellow fever germ that killed
four members of her family, | think
he is right for doubling the mos
quito theory altogether in this case.
We are right, also, in throwing
the blame on the stegomyia fasciata,
but we have overlooked another
worse enemy than the stegomyia
the pestiferous bed bug, which no
screen can keep out, and which is
more insidious than the mosquitoes,
because it can be carried in the
clothes, and can live without food
almost indefinitely. 1t may be that
when Mrs. w. went to Summit after
having fever here opened her trunks
it was not stegomyia fasciata that
did the work, but cimex fetidate.

sAKHALIN ISLAND.

To appreciate its military value
must be borne in mind that the is
land, which is about 600 miles long
hes almost against the main
land, being separated from it by tn,
Strait Of Tartary, which in somt
places is only four miles wide
Physically it might be almost con.
sidered a part of the Asiatic cont
nent. To allow Sakhalin TO pass in.
to the hands of Japan would be like
America allowing Long Island OIL
England allowing the Isle of Wight
to pass into the hands of an ambi.
tious foreign power. There is nc
doubt that whoever controls Sakha-
lin, besides being in a position to in
wade and threaten the Asiatic coast,
would be in a position to absolutely
prevent communication between the
mainland and the Pacific through
the sea of Japan.
1.-THE island has an area between
10000 and 65, 1000 kilometers and al
though its general shape is that Of a
fish, at certain points its width is on
ly fifteen miles. 1t is therefore pee
uliarly adapted for offensive and de-
fensive purposes. Little use has
thus been made of the island. The
population including the natives,
who belong to the Aimo and Guilake
races and %exiles, most of whom af-
ter their terms of servitude become
settlers, amounts altogether to only
$4,000 souls, that is less than | TO
the square mile. Exploitation of the
resources of the island has been
hampered by the rigorous climate,
lack of communication, as it is al
most without roads and by the i'm
mense and almost inaccessible forests.
The Development Of its resources by
Russia was anticipated as a conse-
quence Of the Trans-Siberian rail-
way. Large profits were expected
from its riches, as it contains great
quantities Of coal, oil, naptha, iron,
timber, but its chief resource is its
fisheries. Enormous shoals Of fish,
especially herring and salmon
swarm in its waters. The average
number Of herring taken annually
amounts to 10000, 900"
