The bedbug, owing to the nature of its relations

ana door screens against the MOSQUITOES,
which promptly at nightfall made their
appearance in numbers on the outside of
the wire netting. Not a symptom of
malaria did these earnest Investigators
develop; but they sent to London some
specimens of A PheLes which had bitten
chills-and-fever patients in the Roman
hospitals, and these insects promptly
communicated malaria to healthy per-
sons whom they were encouraged to bite.
Thus the whole mystery, which for so
long time was deemed an insoluble
puzzle, has been finally cleared up. We
now understand why the neighborhood
OF stagnant ponds and swampy places is
likely to be malarious, inasmuch as such
localities are productive of mosquitoes
We know that, in the treatment of cases
of chills and fever, the first thing to be
done is TO screen the doors and windows,
thus preventing further infection. As
remedy we give quinine, which is useful
for the reason that it is poison deadly
to the parasitic protozoon. 1t is so
deadly, in fact, that few doses of it
would kill all of the parasites present,
were it not that in the earliest stage of
their development they are inclosed in
membrane which protects them
But for quinine malaria would be re-
garded to-day as one of the most dan
gerous of diseases. Where constant re-
infection continues for long time, fatal
results are likely to ensue. Indeed, some
kinds of malaria1 germs are extremely
malignant, persons attacked being car
ried off in a few days. The so-called
Roman fever" is malaria of this type,
and in many tropical regions fevers of
like character prevail to such an extent
as to render them uninha bitable by
human beings not acclimated. There is
good reason to believe, however, that
the dangers would disappear if proper
precautions were taken against night
flying mosquitoes.
1t appears, then, when the question
is considered lin the large" that the
insects which prey upon human beings
even the house-f1y is in the strictest
sense of the word a parasite of ours-are
enemies of mankind in much more i'm
portant degree than has hitherto been
supposed. They are not only annoying
and destructive of comfort, but ex-
tremely dangerous. For the distribu-
ton of many of the worst diseases they
are directly responsible, and in view
of the crimes proved against them it
is obvious that no measures too sweep
ing or too drastic can be adopted for
their destruction-the main object
sought Gnasmuch as determination is
obviously impracticable) being to re-
strict their multiplication and set a
limit upon their activities in the inhab-
tied regions of the globe.

introduced into the body develops oar-ike appen-
dages and paddles about in the blood, following
the tide of circulation through the veins and arteries
This parasite, multiplying in great numbers feeds
the red corpuscles of the blood disturbing the
physical economy in such fashion as to induce the
symptoms Familiarity known as "chils and fever
Now, for sometime after the discovery of the
parasite in question it supposed that the
protozo0n, to which the name PIdsDtodfum pnaLarip
has been given, entered the body in drinking water
else in dry state by way of the lungs. Only
about half a dozen years ago was it ascertaned
that mosquito always and invariably the
carrier Not any mosquito mind you, but a
single species, called AnoPheleS. Every case of
chills and fever record every epidemic of malaria
known up to date has been caused by this insect
which is easily distinguishable by any intelligent
layman through the fact that it has gray spots on
its body and stands its head with its tail in
the air, when it bites. 1t flies only at night, and
its song, uttered in lower key than that of any
other kind of mosquito, is distinctly recognizable.
In order to complete and ndisputab1e
evidence in the case, two physicians of the London
School of Tropical Medicine, Drs Low and Sambon
built small house in the most maarous part of
the Campagna, Rome-a fever haunted spot
at the mouth of the Tiber. They exposed them
selves in every possible way to the unhea1thful
conditions of the locality, going out on rainy
days and walking about in wet clothing; but they
stayed IN the house at night protected by window
