THE MOSQUITO
ON THE RUN

It is impossible to screen the world.
In spite of the enterprise of the manu-
facturers and dealers in screens mil
lions of people must remain in sum
mer resort camps and elsewhere
without this kind of protection against
the mosquito, one of the most persist
ent and dangerous of all warm weather
pests. Moreover, while the screen
would not interfere with the blasts of
winter. it does obstruct to some slight
extent the gentle zephyrs" at the very
time in the year when the smallest of
such favors is thankfully received. How
to save ones self the annoyance of the
mosquito, where screens are unobtain-
no small popular concern, especially in
a year like this when the insect is
peculiarly rampant.
The mosquito may be kept away by
making a place unattractive to him.
But the trouble in doing this has al
ways come from the similarity of tastes
between man and the mosquito-that
is, certain preparations are trouble
Howard, chief entomologist of the De-
partment of Agriculture wrote his
celebrated work on the mosquito few
years ago, he mentioned the oil of
citronella for use on towel Al the head
of a bed as a deterrent of the insect,
but so many people baked on its odor
that they preferred to it the risk Of an
occasional incursion of the mosquito.

science, however. to give up a quest of
this kind, and SO DIR. Howard, who is
still pursuing the mosquito-this time
under the auspices of the Carnegie In
which will bring out a mono
graph on the subject in the autumn
has had one of his assistants conduct
a series of tests, where mosquitoes are
plentiful, on the Philadelphia boarding
house keepers principle, ito find out
which she liked and the
boarders didn't, and then have
plenty of it, The result is this recipe,
which anyone can have put up at a
drug store: One ounce of oil of cedar,
two ounces of oil of citronella, and two
ounces of spirits of camphor. A very
few drops of this preparation, it is
said, will keep the pest away all night.
DIR. Howard true scientist that he is,

COMBATING THE ..LAzY WORM

A large district in the middle of Porto
Rico, with a population of 100000, is
afflicted with the lazy worm,' and Of
fetal efforts are being made to improve
the inhabitants condition. A hospital
has been established at Albonito, with
an endowment of $4,000, and will do
what it can to check the ravages of this
minute reptile, of the existence of
which the old time native Porto Rican
never had the slightest notion. Last
year an American medical officer Cap
tain Ashford, treated $500 cases, and
nearly all of them were cured. AS a
result, the population is aroused to
much enthusiasm, and the afflicted are
applying in great numbers for treat
ment. Heretofore the malady has been
deemed incurable.
