She made only momentary resistance, and

In just the same way the town rats will soon
be moving. They do not start so early as their
human congeners, for there is the food question
to consider, but as soon as fruit begins to ripen
off they CO. They move at night, or in the small
hours of the morning travelling by ones and twos
so quietly and SO carefully that they are seldom
seen. But once out in the country, they can
move at more rapid rate.
They greatly enjoy the change of diet which
nuts, fresh fruit, and young birds afford them,
and for weeks they roam the countryside, sell
dom sleeping in the same place two nights in sue
cession, and only returning to winter quarters
in town sewers and cellars when the first frosts
begin to nip the green leaves.

York, these ugly, quarresome, dsease-laden
loafers are always the move.

Up in Lspland the reindeer are moving now.
They have been spending the winter in the low

TROUBLES

knocking the coin back toward the
centre Of the shop and striking Thurman blow

what was happening, then he became aware that
remarkably pretty girl was leaning over him,
while the druggist was peering interestedly down

the girl, as Thurman smiled weakly. "Do you
feel better now?"
Very much" declared Thurman, for the first

smelling salts directly beneath his nostrils

the druggist, who for the first time seemed

several years ago made an interesting
series of experiments on the west coast of Africa
under the auspices of the Liverpool school OF
tropical medicine.
The experiments had to do with mosquitoes
eyesight and their fondness or aversion for GER
tain colors.
In a Photographic studio large muslin tent
was set up with one end against the glass win
dow, through which the sunlight streamed. At
the bottom of the tent were some large pans for
the mosquitoes to breed in, and these from time
to time were renewed.
On one side of the tent seventeen boxes with
out lids were piled upon the other, the order
being changed each day to eliminate any
preference due to position or exposure to light.
Each box was lined with cloth having slightly
rough surface, to which mosquito could easily
cling The experiment. consisted in counting the
number of mosquitoes found in each box on seven
teen different days. The result obtained was
striking
During the seventeen days on which the counts
were made, 108 mosquitoes were found in the
navy-blue box 90 in the dark-red box, 81 in
the reddish-brown box 80 in the scarlet box,
40 in the black box. There was at this point
a sharp drop of 81 in the slate-gray box and "a
in an olvegreen box. Violet, leaf-green, and
full blue boxes had respectively 1S. II and IA.
Pearl-gray had o. pale-green 4, ight-blue 3, ochre
and white 2 each, orange l, and pae-yellow, about
the color of khaki, none at ALL
1t is evident that certain colors have marked
power of attracting mosquitoes and that the
color which is by far the most attractive is
navyblue. The mosquito avoids light colors,
especially those with tinge of yellow From
this it seems that khaki-cQlored garments have
other advantages beside that Of invisibility on
light soil.
In Madagascar, the French scientist. NJ Jolly,
noticed that the mosquitoes were attracted by
black soil more than by red, or light one, and
that persons wearing black shoes and socks were
more often bitten than those who wore white
or light-colored coverings for their feet.
While black dog severly bitten and driven
half mad by mosquitoes, its companion, who was
yellow was not bothered in the least.

ESYOT is almost appalling to reflect that last

average for the last three years was

more remarkable by reason of the fact that trade
