Life History Of the Yellow Fever
Mosquito.

The following notes on stego.
myia fasciata came from Professor
Morgan, well know in Lou siana
as late State etOmOlogist, and who
is now the director of the Tenne
see experiment station. Professor
Morgan has for several years
studied the yellow fever mosquito,
and upon request of one of his
Shreveport friends, for some data
on this insect, has sent the follow
ing:
"Stegomyia fasciata is possibly
the most domestic mosquito that
we have. 1t is found breeding in
cisterns and transient water pools
which are frequently found in lily
drained cities and towns. The
female mosquito may live several
months and during this time lay
several patches of eggs. She de
posits her eggs singly upon the
surface of the water. If the pool
upon which she lays her eggs
should dry up in few days the
eggs would likely hatch at the
next a rainfall filled the pool. We
have not had any trouble in keep
ing eggs vital after ten months of
drying We have also kept them
in water, undisturbed, for as
great a length of time. The larva
Oh Matching will mature rapidly if
plenty of food is available, but
may spend as much as a month or
more in It's larvai existence if food
is scarce The pupal duration is
but day or two. After Matching,
in the presence of plenty of food,
in summer time, it requires only
from SIX to eight days for the
mosquitoes to reach maturity.
The adult mosquitoes die in late
fall, the Information being success
fully made in the egg condition.
Good drainage, Oiling of transient
pools, good sanitation, and seeing
that no water remains in old cans,
buckets, post holes, and so on,
longer than day or two, will
mean the eradiction of this pest.
The difficult thing in its eradica-
ton is that the eggs may remain
unmatched for a year, and after
this, under certain conditions,
hatch. This makes eradication
much more difficult than If the
eggs would hatch only within
few days after laying, as was
formerly supposed"
The moral of these notes, there
fore, is: Kill the adult mosquito.

Yellow fever was first recog
nized definitely IN the West In
dies, and since 1901 it has been
epidemic there.
In the latter part of the eigh
teenth and the first part Of the
nineteenth centuries the disease
created havoc along the whole
Atlantic Coast of the United
States, spreading to seaports as
far North as Maine, and into the
cities Of Canada.
In 1893 the city of Philadelphia,
then having a population of 40
600. was stricken, and 1000 per
sons-l0 per cent Of the popula
tion-died.
-Four years later Philadelphia
suffered another visitation, with a
death loss of 800, and III the
year following j,615 deaths from
the fever occurred.
In 1898 New York also was al
tackled by the epidemic, 2,oS0 per
sons dying while Boston gave
! 200 victims to the disease in the
same year. In 1902 Boston, Phila
delphia, Baltimore, Wilmington
and Char lesion suffered extensive
Iy from the spread Of the fever
along the coast, but since that
time epidemics have been con
fined more nearly to the Southern
States. New York, however, has
never been immune.
In 1853 there was a wide spread
epidemic, taking in Florida, Ala
bama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Ar
kansas, and Texas In 1876.
there was another epidemic, more
limited in area, but particularly
! yirulent III Galveston, Tex, where
the mortality reached 1,l5O.
Then occurred the great epidemic
of 1878. In that year Memphis
furnished 1900 victims. New
Orleans proper lost only 225 from
the disease, but the nelghboring
town of Shreveport lost 80
Then came the most terrible
year of all-lS7S-a year whose
mention causes shudder through
out the land, and whose numerals
synonymous with death in the
cities of New Orleans and Mem
phis.
The fever invaded l52 towns in
Louisiana, Tennessee, Alabama,
Mississippi and Kentucky. There
were more than $4,000 eases, and
the death roll reached the tremen
dOuS total of Is 934.
Thousands upon thousands of
Citizens fled from Memphis and
New Orleans, but of the popu'a
ton that renamed in the former
city about 19,6OO-or 20 per cent
sickened, and $3.50 or more than
% per cent died. In New Orleans
the mortality was about the same.
1t is estimated that the loss to
the country in a commercial way
as direct result of the epidemic
was above 800, 100000.

emy's whole force seemed to be
concentrated at this point. There
was unceasing roar of small-arms
and his whole line was lighted
up by continuous stream of fire.
Not man was, however, killecE

is reported as having suffered
much from the fire of my men,
and still more from their own
men, who fired into each other
in the darkness of the night.

General Buford to move to the
right with his division, to occupy

On the morning of the 18th,

driven from his Notifications,
General Buford was ordered to
move up the Verona road and
attack his left flank. General
Buford pushed forward his troops
and drove the enemy back about
one mile, where he was protec-
ted by his main line. But few
men were killed or wounded in
this engagement, but | found the
road strewn with men fainting
under the oppressive heat, hard
labor, and want of water. Gener-
al Chalmers, who had been order
ed to the left in the morning, re-
ported the enemy retreating on

ately proceeded to Harrisburg

ment with Colonel Warren's re-
giment, retired. | ordered Gen
eral Buford to press forward in
the direction of Tupelo and en-
gage the enemy there, if he still
occupied the place. On reaching
Harrisburg Lieutenant General
Lee ordered me to take command
of the troops and pursue the en-

Chalmers and Buford to pursue
the enemy retreating on the Har-

to make vigorous assault upon

MONEY is DELAYED.
Sumtef's Old Soldiers Must Await
Their Turn.

Confederate veterans and widows in
Americus and this county will not re-
celve their pension money, amounting
to more than So, 900, until soma time in
March. The office of commissioner of
pensions in the state capitol will be
closed now until, probably, March It,
on account of the continued illness of
Commissioner Lindsay. Mrs. Lin 1say
and DIR. J S. Wood, the fAmily phys
iciap, are now in Atlanta, and after
consultation with DIR. W. O Bryant,
the attending l MUSICIAN, il was decided
that it would not be advisable for
Commissioners Lindsay to return to his
duties. He is believed TO be on the
road to recoY cry, and the physicians
declare that he should be able to re,
turn to his off e by March 1. The Con-
federate pension fund is $40, 600 short

until the Legislature meets aud supple
