a garden sprinkling pot, after the open
ings in the nozzle have been enlarged
somewhat. One pint of oil to water
surface twenty feet in diameter is the ac-
cepted proportion. An application will
suffice for about two weekA. when it
should be repeated.
The method by which the oil destroys
the Larvae (wigglers) is not toxic, but me-
chanical. A larva must come to the sur
face every minute or two for air. The
inland larvae approaches the surface at
right angles and gets its air by sticking
its tail, equipped with an air tube, above
water. The anopheles larva lies parallel
to the water surface and secures air by
putting its head above water. In what
ever way a larva obtains air the oil OBJ
structs its delicate respiratory apparatus
and rapid suffocation results. An I'M

THE MOSQUITO A "HoME BODY"

The secret of success of individual OF
communal warfare on the mosquito lies
in the scientifically proved fact that the
mosquito invariably lives, buzzes and
bites very near the place of its birth, I'M
less, of course, it is carried away by a
strong wind. q should say, the place
of her birth, for only the female sucks
blood; the male is a strict vegetarian
Therefore, In order to wage successful
war of determination ON the mosquito,
it is necessary only to discover the breed
ing place or p1acss-always standing or
stagnant water-and to remove them en-
tirely either by draining and then filling
in the depressions, or, if that is impos-
sible, or impracticable, by coating the sur
face of the water with kerosene.
Right here let it be known that the
search for stagnant water must be thor
ough, if relief from mosquitoes is to be
obtained They breed in the most unsus-
pected places-in old tin cans, rain-flled
hollows of trees well up from the ground,
crotches of trees and hollow stumps,
broken bottles, hidden by grass or top
ping stone walls as ornament; pitchers
of the pitcher plant, closed sewers, the
female entering and leaving through the
perforated traps; flower vases in which
the water is not changed daily, jars of
water insulating the legs of refrigerators,
roof leaders that are not properly graded.
Obvious breeding places are uncovered
rain-water barrels, open cisterns and
wells, the pits of outdoor water closets,
ground depressions, unused household
water receptacles, still water along the
edges of streams, pools formed by under
brush, pools fed by springs, water along
the edges of swamps and in the swamps,
watering troughs infrequently used, and
the pools formed underneath by drip
pings.
In brief, the varieties of mosquito that
give the greatest trouble-barring the
salt water genus-will breed anywhere in
anything holding standing or stagnant
water. These varieties are the culex pun
gems, or inland mosquito, the most COM
mon of all the two hundred odd species;
the stegomyia, or yellow fever bearing
mosquito, which is found pretty generally

broken oil film will bring death to all the
Larvae in given body of water in few
hours.
Care should be taken to keep the oil
film continuous. Kerosene tends to
collect around water grass, logs and
other foreign bodies in a pond, for ex-
ample. Thus spaces of water surface
more or less extensive are left without
an oil covering, and the breeding of mos
quitoes goes on apace; the time from egg
to winged mosquito varies from twelve to
twenty-five days, according to the species.
By removing grasses and all other OBJ
structions from body of water an I'M
broken oil film can be obtained. The
edges of streams, springs and ponds
should also be kept clean, as the presence
of logs and grass tends to standing wa
ter, in the shape of little pools, and in

these the female anopheles delights to de-
post her eggs.
Among the very few bodies of water
about house that can not conveniently
be treated with kerosene are cisterns.
These, however, as well as open wells,
can be screened, and in this way kept
from the mosquito. If you are averse to
putting oil on the water in rain water
barrels, fit them with tight covers, with
screened holes in the center for air, and
draw out the water from the bottom by
means of spigot.
There is no need to put oil in wa
tering trough in daily use. The animals
noses, if nothing else, keep the water well
stirred up, and it is an entomologically
proved fact that if standing water, in
which there are mosquito larve, is stirred

pictuesque-b1t good Breeding place for Mosquitoes

over the south; and the anopheles, OF
malaria bearing mosquito, whose habitat
is the greater part of America
It is the inland mosquito that gener-
ally breeds in or near house, and owing
to this trait, it is often called the house
mosquito. The more offensive the water
the more prolific this species. This is also
true of the stegomyia. The anopheles
prefers to breed in small pools of uncon-
taminated water, but which are frequently
covered with green scum. The edges of
swamps, ground depressions and spring
fed pools are favored breeding places.
So, also, are unused receptacles about a
house; but, unlike the culex pungens, the
anopheles rarely enters house.
HOW TO APPLY KEROSENE.
The best way to apply kerosene is with

up, the Larvae will die in a short time
as result of the commotion Still or
stagnant water, from the moment the
eggs are laid until the winged insects
are at hand, is absolutely necessary to the
development of mosquitoes. Egg, larva,
pupe then, in two or three days, winged
mosquito-these are the four stages of
mosquito development.
The cost of mosquito determination is
trifling of itself; and it sinks into utter
insignihcance when compared with the
benefits resulting therefrom. Several
summers ago certain Maryland village
was laid low, almost to a man, with ma
laria. The following summer forty dol
lars was spent in draining the breeding
place of the anopheles, and only one case
of malaria was reported all summer. The
presence of mosquitoes has prevented
many a region from developing as it
otherwise would probably have developed,
or at least given it an unsavory reputa-
ton; while, conversely, other sections
have prospered because OF, or are famed
for, freedom from the pest. What did
it mean to Havana, New Orleans, the
Panama Canal zone, when the stegomyia
was exterminated? Yellow fever disap-
peared. Less and less malaria is appear
ing among Our canal diggers as the
breeding places of anopheles are becom-
ing fewer through the sanitary work of
Major Gorgas. And in one year goodly
portion of Staten Island, long notorious
for its mosquitoes, has secured the repu-
tation of being practically free of the
pest. Who can prophecy what effect this
new state of things will have on the tens
of thousands of home buyers in Greater
New York?
Whatever the variety of mosquito, sci
cnce has pointed out sure way to exter-
inmate it. And science says, and has
proved it, too, that the best way to be
rid of one hundred and ninety-nine va
rieties is for each individual and COM
munity to wage war on the mosquitoes
bothering him and it by draining, filling
in and oiling.
The mosquito-less age is dawning.

~LAD tidings of great joy" to the mos.
quito-ridden household and com.
~ munity! Excepting the salt watel
variety, every species of the buzzing, bit
ing pest can be exterminated by individ-
ual or local effort, with comparatively
slight expense of time and money.
In the early days of mosquito study,
L. o. Howard, now Chief Entomologist
of the Federal Government, visited a FAM
lily summering in the Catslzill mountains.
Mosquitoes were so numerous as to make
life almost unbearable to any one ven
turing off the screened-in porch after
nightfall. Under the porch Mr.. Howard
found a rain water tank from which wa
ter was drawn off, as required, by means
of spi9pt at the bottom. The tank lit
orally swarmed with mosquito Larvae or
"wigglers" Over the surface of the
water the entomologist poured pint of
kerosene. This, forming in an unbroken
film, the wigglers were divorced from
their air supply and speedily died. There
was no other body of still water any
where near the house. The winged mos
quito will not go near kerosene, and so
the female no longer had place in which
to deposit her boat-shaped batch of eggs,
three to four hundred In number. Re-
suit, before the year was month older,
the mosquito had persisted practically
from off the face of the earth, as far as
this particular household was concerned.
It was in the summer of 1901 that the
question and methods of mosquito ex-
termination first came prominently before
the public. The mayor of the little city
of Winchester, Va, at that time was N.
T. Barton. Mr.. Barton's fad was ento-
mology. About the time that he had be-
come deeply interested in the scientists
warfare on the mosquito the mayor was
visited by an out-of-town friend. The
latter complained loudly against the Win
chester mosquitoes and exhibited his son
as evidence of their bloodthirstiness. This
determined the mayor to wage little war
all his owR on the mosquitoes, that the
fair name f Winchester would not be
sullied by Strangers reports of the fero-
ciousness of the pest.
In the face of harsh newspaper criti-
cism and sarcasm, he got the Council to
pass an ordinance authorizing the appG-
cation of kerosene in the city limits,
wherever stagnant water would be found.
Then he saw to it that the city was thor
oughly oiled. The result was so unsatis-
factory-to the mosquitoes-that the
Council did not hesitate to amend the
original ordinance by providing PEN
atty, to be imposed on any citizen who
failed to apply kerosene in the necessary
places on his property. An inspector was
also authorized for the enforcement of
the ordinance. Long before the summer
was over Winchester had been practically
freed from mosquitoes, and the citizens
had taken down their nets and screens,
thing they had previously studiously
