Conspicuous among the many revela-

wholly unexpected financial ability. AT
the beginning OF the present war 1t
was predicted freely by those who were
in touch with the money centers OF the
world that the island empires vigorous

that the lack OF means to prosecute a
war OF any especial length meant ultl-

In the markets of the world must give
her the final supremacy.
Mono OF these predictions has come
TO pass. No venal oracle Of the ancient
civilization was ever moro discrcditcd
than have been the glib prophets OF
the modern financial mart. Within a
brief twelvemonth opulent Russia has
become a scrvIle beggar for favors In

YELLOW FEVER IN TIE yoRTB.

In recent bulletin DR. L. o. Howard, ento-
nologist Of the Department of Agriculture. dis
cussed the present and possible distribution of
the mosquito which is instrumental in trans
mitdng yellow fever from one person to an
other. He quotes a monograph Of F. V Theo-
bald, which appeared in 1901, TO show that in
no part OF the world has the stegomyia fas-
ciata actually been found outside Of a belt
that extends 3s degrees each way from the
equator. Even in this very extensive region
II has not been everywhere observed In some
portions the dry climate or the elevation Of
the locality may explain its absence but Dr.
Howard considers it probable that in other dis
tTicts lying within the prescribed limits care
ful search would reveal its existence
People living in the northern part Of the
United States are interested in learning how far
beyond the boundaries mentioned the mischief
making mosquito would be likely To maintain
a foOtkold. II IL We're 10 acquire one tempora-
rily by accident Mr.. Theobald, whom DR..
Howard evidently deems q trustworthy author
ity. declares that some species Of the genus
stegomyia have been noticed at points on the
43d parallels of north and south latitude These
are not known to be capable OF transmitting the
germs Of yellow fever, but perhaps they are.
II is hardly practicable to draw safe conclu-
sions on this point until II has been investigated
further This much is certain: New York for
merly suffered more than a little from yellow
fever. II is also practically beyond dispute that
y one kind OF mosquito was not responsible for
ihe spread OF the disease here another was
An uninterrupted continuance OF the immunity
which this city has enjoyed since 1919 or 1920
cannot be safely predicted without more ento-
molOgieal information than is now at hand
The metropolis has reason 10 hope that the in-
Qulry win be pursued by experts until all un
certainty IS dispeled.
Still another phase OF the subject requires
more study. II Is known that mosquito does

health DR. Carter, of the United States Ma

ion that mosquitoes which hibernated lost the
power of communicating virus which they had

If NAV be that Lord Curzon considered the

vouId certainly he regarded with surprise and
incredulity by the outside world. 1t was
question TO be carefully considered whether
such menace. if it existed. was as grave as
that involved in giving that great nation what
it considered great offence. The resignation OF
Lord Curzon and the succession Of Lord Minto
with his less autocratic and more conciliatory
disposition may serve in some measure to allay
the acute irritation which now prevails in Ben
gal and, of course, it is within the range of
possibilities that the division of the province If
persisted in. will be readjusted on other and
more acceptable lines. The latter course is
however, doubtful, and the prospect is that the
