MOSQUITO-EATERS

The Hawaiian Islands, which have
been called the paradise of the Pa
cific." did, in former times, cores
pond to that description in one very
important respect-the entire absence
of mosquitoes. Unfortunately, how
ever. the tinging gnats were introduc-
ed by ships, and eventually became
such a nuisance that, a year ago, the
inhabitants sent to the United States
to get fishes to devour the pests.
These fishes were obtained from
the neighborhood of Galveston, Texas.
"Killifish" they are called--little min
nows which have a voracious and in
satiable appetite for mosquitoe "wrig-
glers." Four hundred and fifty of
them. representing three different
species, were shipped to Honolulu last
September.
The fishes were divided into -four
lots. three of them being liberated in
different places. Those of the fourth
batch were confined in suitable breed
ing ponds. Both those set free and
these kept in captivity multiplied with

these hardy foes of the mosquito.
No hit of fresh water in which tn,
minnows abound can possibly produce
any mosquitoes and, by supplement
ing this method of defense with ap
plications of petroleum where tn
fishes are not, the Hawaiian authori
ties expect practically to eNterminat
the pestiferous insects.-Saturda'

PROSPECT OF PROHIBITION SLIM
Minister Says Senate Will MuxzIe
Measure.

Rev. Bascom Anthony, who is well
known in Americas as throughout the
state as one of the leading ministers in
the Methodist church, is quoted by the
press as being doubtful of any success
full measure looking to state prohibit
ton. II don't think there will be any
determined effort during the session of
the next Legislature to put Georgia in
the prohibition column, and even if
there is any effort made, it is certain to
fail, said Mr.. Anthony. "Of course,
am speaking from past experience
and judging the present senate from
those who have killed prohibition bills.
l don't want to do an injustice to pres
ent senators, for l don't know them,
but I don't think there is any doubt
about bill being killed in the senate
if it goes there.

THINKS ESTIMATE IS EXCESSIVE
Jordan Believes Crop Wont Exceed
100000.

Americas cotton men still adhere to
the belief that the recent bureau report
of the crop is excessive, although
twelve and and a half million bales
would be readily taken by the mills.
Harvie Jordan, president of the South
ern Cotton Association, says that the
estimate of the bureau of statistics of
IL, 556,000 bales of cotton for 1867 is
much too high. He regarded the gin
ners report of 10, 045, 445 as bullish, and
is of the opinion that the crop this year
cannot exceed 12,OOO,O 900 bales. He
says there is no reason for alarm and
that if cotton is marketed slowly good
prices will be obtaind. Agricultural
Commissioner Hudson bellows cotton
in the spring will go very much higher.

A. traveller writes of a port in north
western India: THE great sight of
Karachi is the sacred crocodile pre-
serve at Magyar Pr, some seven miles
off. There are hot springs here which
feed shallow tank containing nearly
hundred crocodiles. The story usu.
ally thought to be fictitious, of the Eng
llshman who for bet crossed the tank
by jumping successfully from the
backs of these crocodiles is based on
fact. The hero of this foolhardy feat
was a certain Lieutenant Beresford, a
friend of Sir r. f. Burton. When Bur
ton and his companion were visiting
the crocodiles' tank they noticed that
these reptiles and certain islets of reeds
happened to make an almost continu-
Gus bridge across the tank. This
prompted the daring subaltern to haz-
ard the feat OF crossing by hopping
from one crocodile to another. To the
amazement of the spectators he sue
ceeded in this apparently mad attempt.
Sir Richard Burton had already sue
cessfully performed an equally daring
feat. He managed to muzzle croco-
die by means Of lasso and then
jumped on the reptiles back and en-
joyed somewhat zigzag ride"
