NEW HAVEN MORNING COURIER DECEMBER

As early as 1763 Washington sur veyed the swamp; subsequently, he formed the first loan company on this hemisphere, the Dismal Swamp Con- pany. The stock was subscribed for with some hesitation, but it paid small dividends and remained within Vir- gina families. Even as late as the present year the Dismal Swamp Land Company Is on record and there Is a profit balance for stockholders. Washington conceived the idea of digging a cana1 from Elizabeth City, N. C., to Norfolk, Va, and connecting Albermarle Sound with Cheasapeake Bay: Uuder his supervision the eff fort was undertaken. Here and there daring the progress of the work sunk en forests were encountered.
 The tools of the excavatars were highly inefficient for these difficulties, so the sunken forests were sublimely disregarded and banks after the fash ion of levees of the Mississippi were built up on either side for several miles.
 Tools, spades and wheelbarrows, plus nal, but time flew by on wings. In comparison with this venture the Pan anna Canal of today is no more prodig- ious. The successive builders of the canal did not finish their work until the nineteenth century was in it's in- fancS.
 Washington's ditch is still visable, and Jericho canal Is still there-the canal which was dug for the purpose of floating timber out of the swamp.
 The swamp is largely covered with juniper timber, by which the waters are strongly impregnated with medici- nal qualities. Peaty formation is defi- mite; in places vegetables mould exists from 10 to 15 feet deep Occasionally fires break out in the swamp.
 If the season be unusually rainless the water recedes from the surface leaving it dry to depth of three or four feet and a temptation for a con flagration. The fires then burn into the peaty mass slowly for weeks until at last the heavy rains of the wet season come and quench the shoulder in= mass and restore the water to the surface again.
 The theory of a fire origin is given for the presence of Lake Drummond, an expanse of clear water in the heart of the swamp. It is thought by many students of the region that Ere of unusual length and severity during the dry season formed there basin sev- eral feet in depth, which when the rains fell again filled up and became lake.
 The canal has been great commer- cial benefit to the Dismal Swamp, be- cause it has done the work of a drain- age system. In the days of the colo- nists the swamp was infinitely more marshlike than at present but with the completion of the canal it was ob- served that large areas of rorass be- came trversable for pedestrians.
 To-day an extensive portion Is used for agricultural purposes. In the North Carolina section a large sheep ranch thrives.

DIRT AND DUST.
Two Great Enemies of Health-Go In-
 to the Parks and Fields.

Two Great Enemies of Health-Go In-
 to the Parks and Fields
 One of the most important causes of modern physical deterioration, says the Grand Magazine, is the lack of open air life, the common lot of all city dwellers. The greatest surgical discovery of the nineteenth century was dirt, matter in the wrong place.
 The greatest medical discovery that will be made in this country will be dust. It takes at least two hours in fresh open air each day to counteract the effects of the dust we inhale. with out estimating the wear and tear of the tissues due to natures excretory effort to intercept this terrible enemy. If we would invade this death dealing dust, the cause alike consumption, sore throat, cold in the head and pneumon- ia, it is essential to betake ourselves to parks and open air spaces, green fields and country lanes.
 Many diseases of the alimentary ca- nal are directly brought about by the contamination of food which has been exposed to dust polluted atmosphere and, in these days of motor cars. far more elaborate precautions ought to be taken to protect milk, meat, fruit and vegetables from dust and flies. which, after feeding on garbage of all kinds, bestow their attention on milk and other foods displayed at shop doors and in other unprotected places.
 An important factor is the length of dresses. When skirts are allowed to trail in the dust they catch up innum. erable colonies of microbes and trans fer them alike to public meeting places and private dwelling houses.
 But it is not enough to go out of doors if one goes no further than the city streets. One must get to the parks oE the fields.

The Ichneumon Fly Makes Its Nat.
uraI Enemy Serve Its Purpose.
The ehneumon fly Of Ceylon is the
natural enemy of the spider. This in
sect is green in color, and I'm form re-
seDble5 a wasp with marvelotrsly
thin waist. 1t makes its nest of well
worked clay and then goes on a HINT
ing expedition. Its victims are in
variably spiders of various kinds, but
all are subject to the same mode of
treatment. \ scientific sting injects
some poison which effectually paralyzes
the luckless spider. which is then carried
of TO the nest and there fastened with
a dab of moist clay. Another and an
other victim is brought to this chamber
OF horrors. Then the president mother
ichneumon fly proceeds to deposit her
eggs. one in the body of each spider,
which can just move It's legs in vague,
aimless manner, but can offer no re-
sistnnce
This done. the fly returns to her work
as a mason. She prepares more clay
and builds up tie entrance to this
CHASTITY cell. Then she commences q
new cell. which she furnishes in like
manner and then closes; then she adds
yet another cell and so proceeds until
her store of eggs are all provided for.
and. her task in life being accomplished,
she dies. leaving her evil brood TO hatch
at leisure. In due time these hOrrid lit
tie maggots come to life and find them
selves Graded in a larder of fresh meat.
Each poor spider is still alive, and his
juices afford nntriment for the ichncu-
mon grub till it is ready to pass in the
chrysalis stage. thence to emerge as a
winged fly fully prepared to carry otIt
the traditions of its ancestors with re-
gard to spiders.
