Did you notice that" said the young
scientist. And then he wenton eagerly:
81 am glad you noticed that, for it is a
verifcation Of certain experiments that
we have made.
we made these experiments in a
gauze tent, and their object was to as
certain the effect on mosquitoes of col
ors.
I'VE placed in the tent boxes lined
with cloth of different hues, and we
found that the little pests crowded fran
cically into the dark blue box, while the
yellow box they would not under any
circumstances enter.
THE experiments extended over sew
eral weeks. We had in the tent stone
vessels for the mosquitoes to breed in.
We discovered that, next to the dark
blue, the mosquitoes sought the dark red
box. After the dark red came brown,
then scarlet, then black, then slate gray,
then olive green, then violet, then pearl
gray, then white. 4
Thus we proved that mosquitoes no.
lice colors, and we formulated two help
I'll hints for the inhabitants of mosqulS

The first hint is to wear yellow to es-l

netting for bed canopies and window

The second hint is to use a blue-lined'
box if you want to trap mosquitoes.
With this box, in an infested region, you
could easily catch and destroy thousands
of the insects daily"

LOGMEN WAR
ON THE RIVER.
Canadian Log Driver Dynamited
Van Buren, Boom Threaten
to Shoot.
FIGHT OVER WATERWAY.

ST. JOHN, y. B., June IA special

Americans and driven back. The con
tractor said that he was acting under
Instructions to clear the river of OBJ
structions to navigation.
Levi w. Pond, the man in charge of
Der drives and who destroyed the fas-
tening that secured the log boom of
the Van Buren, Lumber company, Il
Maine corporation in the upper st.
John river, came here last night and
laid his side of the controversy before
Brunswick and will submit a written
statement of the facts in the case>to
the New Brunswick provincial govern
ment. Pond is also seeking legal adj
vice as to action against President
Allan Hammond of the Van Buren,
company, whom he charges with
threatening to- shoot him.
Pond said that when he reached the
second boom he found the Van Buren,
company's crew, superior in numberS
to his own, ON the Canadian bank of
the river. Three of the American crew
carried rifles. Pond demanded a pas
sage past the boom. but the Americans
would not permit this, w%hereupon he
ordered his fireman, who is Il conSta-
BILE, to arrest the fireman of the Van

being on Canadian soil. Pond said that
when the constable advanced to arrest

that if he took two steps further he
would be shot. The constable was re-
called by Pond and the party at once
returned down the river.

were concerned in the dispute over riv-

PUBLIC OPINION.

Negative Side.
The recognition of two sides to
every question is a truism patent to
all intelligent people. In the discus
sion of the relations of these opposing
conditions, selfishness frequently en-
tiers as a disturbing element, and takes
its position on the popular side. This
side, however. is not necessarily the
side Of right, and while Sympathy is
usually with the underdog, vet II cer-
tain degree of independence and
heroism is requisite in e%spousing the
unpopular aspect.
The assertion of William Osler, of
Johns Hopkins University, that the
greatest works Of men had been
achieved before the fprtieth year of
life, while not expressive of u truth
based upon the history of the past
yet apparently finds some ground of
argument in The fact that young men
are ~transacting the business Of the

The commercial element runs ram
pant throughout society in the exist
ing period, CRUSHING beneath its feet
the finer elements that have graced
the social relations of the past. In
the throng of life's obligations, the
ethical culture of the home and school
finds little room. The presentation
of this sentiment brings its authors
under the censorship of critics and
invites the appellation of a fossil or
crank. Nevertheless, the existence of
these conditions indicate the truth of
the social relation, manifesting itself
IN the veXatious problem of capital

celebration of Decoration Day. The
remembrance of the brave defenders
of t he flag, who fought in the civil
strife nearly u half century ago was
a beautiful conception unfolding the
nations gratitude in floral beauty and
fragrance above their graves.

Rebates From the Santa Fep

During the year ending June 80 1902 the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad
Company paid back to shippers the sum OF
u, SO. This fact was developed In
the examination of W. j. Healy, freight au-
dtor of the Santa Fe, at Topeka Kan, yes
terday. before the attorney general, who is
taking dispositions in the case he has in
situated in Chautauqua county to ascertain
whether the Santa Fe is violating the anti
trust law of Kansas. Mr.. Eealy says that
this amount constitutes the total of over
charges made for the year and that he
cannot give the names of the shippers to
whom payments were made without re-
ferring to the original vouchers. It Is the
theory of the state that these overcharges
are in reality rebates and that an examina-
ton of the vouchers will show that the
greater part of the payments have been
made to the Standard OIL Company and
other monopoles.

MAY USE SHARP SWORDS.
Experiments That Have Been Made by
the Chief Of Ordnance.

The officers and cavalrymen of our army
are to have sharpened swords hereafter IL
they want them. Heretofore the accepted
type of military sword here has been rather
blunt, and in fact considerable element
in the army maintained that the spirit OF
the rules Of modern warfare was opposed
to keen-edged sword. But modern prac-
tice is the other way, and the japanese In
particular sharpen their terrible cutting
swords so that they frequently split man
down from his shoulders to his heart, and
chop off an arm with ease The President
himself, having in mind his own experience
as an officer of the army. inclines toward
a sharp, heavy cutting sword, and the mat
ter has been brought to the attention OF
the ordnance bureau. General Crozier, the
chief of ordnance, has therefore prepared
a report upon the sword which has just
come before the general staff of the army,
and he has this to say about the present
weapon:
''The sword is intended for both cutting
and thrusting purposes, having sharp
point and very slight curvature. 1t Is
rather light for good cutting weapon, and
for perfect thrusting weapon 1t should be
straight. 1t is in some respects possibly
compromise between nghtness and effic.
iency, and in the latter respect Is a con-
siderable improvement on the one which 1t
replaced. The board which adopted 1t had
also to consider all other articles of equip
thus not only burdened with duties OF a
widely varied character, but was perhaps
not selected as it might have been If the
subject of the sword had been it's principal
consideration; notably there Is not known
to have been an expert swordsman among
the membership. The sword as made has
not a very sharp edge; of course it could be
sharpened to any degree, but as it is used
with metal scabbard 1t is probable that
fine edge would soon be dulled. I am hav-
ing made a wooden scabbard and also a
metal scabbard fitted with a wooden strip
upon which it is sought to make the edge
of the blade bear, in an effort to produce
something which will be serviceable and at
the same time will not turn sharp cutting
edge. These scabbar6s will be ready for
examination by anybody which may be di-
rected to consider the subject

FOUGHT LIKE MAD MEN.
Frenzied Fury of Japanese in Four
DAYS Fighting.

The outlines of Field Marshal Oyama's
strategy before Mukden have been well de-
fined since March f. While maintaining
series of energetic attacks on the eastern
front and demonstrations on the center. the
japanese made their principal stroke west
ward the chief effort being in an endeavor
to break through the triangle of Ultnpu,
Madyapu and Erthtaitzu, thus severing the
eastern army and the frontal force from
Mukden. and at the same time threatening
their advance to the northwest, to deprive
the Russians of the road by which to re-
treat to Tie Pass.
Against this plan Gen. Kuropatkin de-
c;ded to accept battle, both on the front
and west of Mukden. and ordered an at
tack beginning at dawn on March 5. There
was a terrific artillery fire and a rain of
missiles from ten batteries on the whole
ground between Niuguantun and Ulinpu.
Mai Gen. Tserpitsky's battalions fought
with fierce determination, apparently real
izing that seven miles in their rear is Muk-
den. with its tons of commissary artillery
and hospital supplies. parts of reserve ar
tilery and baggage.
craZed with some drug. threw themselves
upon the regiments occupying a position
east OF the old railway embankment and
drove 1t eastward, occupying the railroad
bed to the south near Erthaitzu, where the
same mad attack was met by stubborn
resistance. Toward evening the fight slack
ened on the railroad and the cannonadlng
was stilled, but in the twilight the Rus
slams, by brilliant attack, captured Pody-
aza and Palladium. Throughout the utter
darkness of night the same regiments were
engaged in a series of demonstrations, CIV
Ing regiments and batteries In the rear a
chance to rest.
At dawn on March 8 began a fight long
to be remembered In the history of wars. 1t
was of terrific grandeur, and might be COM
pared to a vast thunderstorm Of lead,
shrapnel and bullets. pelting merclessly a
strip OF land twenty miles long and seven
miles broad, moving down victims by the
thousands. and, with the explosions of Chi
NOSE shells and the scythelike work Of O.
inch shells. razing whole villages.
Through this inferno Japanese and Rus
slams charged and cOuntercharged by regi-
ments. Though some of these have been
days, they fought with amazing determine
ton and flrmness. Regiments were reduced
to companies and companies to squads,
but these managed to unite, and We'd with
fresh troops in the resolution with which
they re-entered the fray.
South of Kushantun. in the region of
Madyapu. sanguinary fighting was kept up
TILL nfghtfall. The japanese were intensely
determined to break through at this point.
