DREADED MOSQUITO THAT
SPREADS YELLOW FEVER

~ HE yellow fever mosquito, known to
the scientific world as the Stesomyia
fascIata is literally a messenger of
IL DEATH transmitter of a disease as
fatal in its effects as the devastat-
ing bubonic plague of the old world
That this mosquito of death carries In the
almost invisible thrusts of its tiny, needle
like blu the virus OF that dread malady
yellow fever has been proven beyond doubt,
and today thousands OF dollars are being
spent and the ablest men OF science
are waging their mightiest hght to
bring about Its determination. This tiny
death dealing parasite has lulicd many
sufferer to a last fever-laden sleep, and to-
day because of It's existence, the city OF
New Orleans, the fairest of the gulf re-
gion is fighting for Its life.
The cause of yellow fever has always
been a mystery and. indeed, is mystery
today In a measure, since. although un-
doubtedly a disease of parasitic origin, the
parasitic organism itself has not yet been
discovered. The mosquito is the means OF
dissemination and infection. The disease
transfer relations of insects had been the
subject of years or research and study,
but not until 1881, when Dr. Carlos Finlay
of Havana advanced the theory of the
mosquito being the agent of yellow fever
transmission, was the fact clearly estap-
lished. During the summer of 1900, COM
mission of surgeons of the United States
army went to Cuba, where they demon
strated that yellow fever is not conveyed
by the infected clothing of fever-stricken
patients or by proximity to them. but that

NEW YoRK's PUBLIC BATHS.
Three Million Bathers In a Season
The Campaign of Soap and Water.
From Outing Magazine.

From Outing Magazine
How great is the need for these public
comforts in a great city! Here is a handful
OF facts to startle the dwelIer in ease. A
few years ago, tenement house commits
sion made a thorough investiga ton of Iiv-
ing conditions In the slums of New York.
''slums' in point of poverty, but teeming
with a Woodworking, self supporting popu-
lation. 1t was found that of total popula-
ton OF 255055 souls in the districts investi-
gated, only BOG persons had access to bath
rooms in their houses OF l 137 families
living west of 10th avenue, one bath room
was found among an average OF 2l7 fami-
lies worse condition even than this was
found among 1921 families living between
10th and 11th avenues, where there was one
bath room to 40 families. Here were three
tubs among a population of more than
1900 families where families run big. per-
haps one bath tub for 2.000 people.
Among this quarter million men, women
and children 81 per cent of their tenement
dwellings Investigated were without any
bathing facilities whatever. In nearly five
hundred teemng tenements, total of sew
enteen We're equipped with bath rooms.
During the summer months of last year
nearly three million bathers were recorded
In the citys floating stations. 1t is reckon
ed that the average bather makes ten visits
during the season, which makes the total
number of patrons about three hundred
thousand.
A policeman, a nfeguard and two attend-
! ants have their work cut out for them in
handling the crowds. Three million bathers
| for fifteen houses. in a season OF three
| months. gives each pool an average pat
ronage of two hundred thousand. The sea-
| son lasts ninety days, wherefore each pool
takes care of about two thousand two hun
| dred batherS day, an average, or more
| than two hundred every hour. OF course
| the rush is greater on very hot days, but
! this conservative figure of an average
| stream of two hundred bathers every hour
! of he la oh q . TN honSeS Is
| fairly impressive
| The cost OF this benefaction IS absurdy
| small The buildings made an outlay OF
| only S125G0 each. The total cost of yearly
maintenance for them all is only $4,000, SO
that every bath costs the city a trfie more
| than cent.

Hay Fever Preventive.

In his lecture before the Hufeland Med.
ico-surgical Society of Berlin. DR.. Dunbar,
the director OF the hygienic institute at
Hamburg, stated that, although hay fever
is not a dangerous disease, It is an ex-
tremely annoying one. from which thou-
sands suffer during the summer. By palms,
taking and thorough investigation DR.. Dun
bar has established the fact that hay fever
Is caused by the poison contained in the
pollen of many plants, grasses and cereals.
BY q process similar to that Of producing
the diphtheria serum he has succeeded IN
obtaining a hay fever preventive by means
of a continued vaccination of animals with
the poison of pollen. An antitoxin Is thus
formed in the blood serum of the animal
which possesses the property of neutraliz-
ing the poisonous effect of pollen in this
nose and eyes of the patient. 1t is note-
worthy that this serum, known tn com.
merce as polantine. unlike other serurns. II
not injected hypodermically. but simply ap'
piled to the nose and eyes. Consul Genera

Hawkins, governor Of the home, there were

Some of these were not actually in the

relief some being In the government hos
pital for the insane, some absent on fur
Tough and some in the general hospital at
Fort Bayard, New Mexico. The daily
number of actual inmates during the year
ending June 30, 1904, was S22. The figures
which Gen Hawkins will present in his
report for the coming year ending June 80,
1905, are not materially different from these.
There are no women employed at the
home excepting In the hospital where there
| Is q corps OF trained women nurses. About

known Stegomyia fasciata.
DR.. Jesse w. Lazear, one of the mem
bers OF this commission, and one of the
most ardent advocates of the mosquito
theory, allowed himself to be bitten by
fever-inoculated mosquito and died,
victim of his theory and In vindication of
his science After this there were others
who risked their lives In the cause Of
science. Some OF the volunteers died. while
others recovered in time, but in every case
II was proved that this mosquito was the
active agent Of transmission.
The commission OF United States army
surgeons after careful investigation of the
subject of yellow fever reported the follow
ing conclusions: That the bacteriologic ex-
animation of the blood of cases of yellow
fever during life and the tlood and organs

That Stegomyia fasciata, when contami-
mated by feeding on case of yellow forty
one and a half hours after the onset of the

non-immune individual, produce a severe
attack of the disease. That Stegomyia fas-

to guard against the insect they should
allow no waste water to accumulate about
the premises and that they should empty
the water from all tubs, buckets, cans and
flower pots once in every forty-eght hours;
fill or drain all pools bitches and various
excavations left untitled. and change regu-
larly every day all water needed in chicken
coops and kennels. All standing water
which cannot be screened or drained should
be treated with coal oil. Places in which It
is undesirable to place oil, such as watering
troughs for stock. lily ponds, etc, can be-
kept free from the "wrigglers'' by putting
in gold fish.
Houses may be cleared OF these winged
parasites by the burning of a powerful in
sect powder or sulphur.

LINCOLN COTThdEL:.
disabled soldiers smoke and Ash here.


Close by Scott Hall is q frame cottage
in which President Lincoln and his family
lived during the summers Of 1861 and 1854
inclusive. It is now called the Lincoln
Cottage and Is maintained as nearly as
possible when 1t sheltered Its distin-
guished tenant. Lincoln loved the Soldiers
Home grounds. It was favorte pastime
for him to walk there and chat with the
soldiers, old and young. For all the SOL
diers at this home are not Old In fact
many Of them are very young.
Every enlisted man who has seen twenty
years service, or any enlisted man who hns
been disabled in the service, is entitled to
admission to the home. At present there
are naturally many survivors of the civil
war and the Indian campaigns and also
many younger men who suffered disability
In the Cuban, Philippine and Chinese CAM
paigns. OF course the percentage OF IN
Valids to the whole body OF inmates Is very
large. Some men entitled to tho privileges
Of the home do not live there but take
advantage of the outside plan"-a system
whereby they receive out Of the home fund
the sum of eight dollars a month, prac-
tcally O. Communication of their board.
It is a place where any man who enjoys
either nature or converse with men who
like to tell Of stirring times may proita-
bly, spend much time.

NE OF Washingtons great parks Is
that of the Soldiers Home. 1t is
glorious in summer and majestic in
" winter. Washingtonians know this,
and in fair weather q throng of
persons afoot, awheel and with horse or
auto testify to their appreciation Of the
beauty OF the place. The grounds embrace
300 acres OF hilly or gently rolling land,
and as fine yistas of the city and It's en-
ytrons may be obtained there as from the
heights of Arlington. And that is high
praise.
The grounds In part are heavily wooded
In oak, but here and there are groves or
groups Of spruce, Ar and pine. Most of the
trees OF this latitude are represented in
the Soldiers Home woods, and there are
many specimens of rare trees. There are
wide stretches of lawn and field. Farming
and gardening are carried on by the vet
Grams, for much of the cleared land is given
over to the cultivation of hay, corn, al
falfa. potatoes and garden sass and the
crops grown on the home grounds are the
best IN this region. Tillage Is done by the
men Of the home who are able to do manual
work They are paid for their labor out of
the funds OF the home, for although the
institution provides food, lodging. clothing
and tobacco for the men, every stroke of
labor they do on the farm, driveways or
the buildings is paid for. This rule applies
well to the men who draw pensions as
10 those who do not.
The pastures support herd OF blooded
milch cows. so that the milk supply of the
home is above reproach. Coursing through
the grounds are nine miles of road that Is
maintained In state satisfactory to the

The Soldiers Home at Washington differs
country in that 1t Is maintained for the
benefit Of the regular army, Is supported by
the regular army, and receives no financial
aid from the United States treasury. The
fund for the home Is provided by the con-
tribution of 121n cents out Of each months
pay by every enlisted man and every off,
Ger In the army. All fines from court mar
tial and all money due enlisted men who
desert go to the home fund. The home was
founded March 8, 1851, the father of the
idea being Gen. Scott. and, In memory Of
the practical founder, the main building at
the home Is called Scott Hall, and on
fine view OF the city, stands statue of the
warrior.
During the year new administra ton
building has been constructed, and a large
addition to the hospital has been made. A
new mess hall Is projected. In the last
annual report Of the board Of commission
ers OF the Soldiers Home 1t was said that
the board had also under consideration the
construction OF new mess hall with ad-
ditional dormitories, to meet the increasing
demands of the home Plans for the build
Ing have been carefully considered by the
board, and the specifca tions are now about
completed and ready for inviting proposals.
They call for imposing building of white
marble, rock faced to conform IN style of
architecture with the Scott building. The
site selected for It is in the rear of the
present library building and on a line with
