LETTER DEADSON WROTE
IN 81 REACHES FATHER

stoughton, Mass, April 12.-"It is
as tho my, boy had spoken to me from
the dead.'
These are the words Elisha Halves,
who IS nearly SO years old, repeats as
he reads and reads over again a letter
he has just received, thru the deadlet H::
ginia during the civil war. The letter
was written fortyfve years ago. =,
Where the letter has been during. all
the years and why it did not reach him
sooner. is a mystery to Halves and his
friends. The young man was killed
at the age Of % by lightning after be
ing at the front about six months.
The boy was a great favorite Of his
father, and his death was a grief from
which Halves has never recovered.
".I cam realize,' says Mr.. HAYES
"that the boy who wrote the letter
would be 81 years old and civil wal
veteran now if he had lived. -
The letter is boyish one, giving de
tails about the long marches and is full
of messages for family and friends.

FEVER In PITTSBURG

Pittsburg, April IL. = Fifty.eight
cases Of typhoid fever have developed
within twenty-four hours Reports
from the various schools show that
there are about 1000 pupils absent be-
cause Of illness, and that great many
Of them are suffering from typhoid.
The city superintendent attributes these
cases to the un6ltered city water in
the schools.
The central board Of education has
ordered filters installed in the build
ings over which it has control. The
board of education has no control over
subdistricts Of the city, and much indig-
nation has been aroused against the
boards that have either refused or neg
alected to supply the pupils with pure
water. It is possible that schools with
out pure water supply will be closed
by the health authorities.

THE AMBER OF SANTO DOMINGO.

From Casters Magazine.

From Casters MG0dkine.
Il n an interesting fact that Santo Do
mingo is one OF the few places In the world
where amber occurs in any considerable
quantities. As Is well known. the ulk Of
the supply used in the arts comes from the
neighbOrhood OF Konigsberg. on the Baltic
seacoast.
There IL occurs in the lower oligocene.
and appears to have been deposited originally
in g%lauconitic beds Of a clayey nature. which
was a%fterward eroded BY wave action and
the amber distributed. though much Of It
is taken from beds in which 1t was originally
entombed.
Amber Is simply fossilized rosin, derived
apparently from certain coniferous trees.
The conditions under which 1t occurs in Santo
Domingo dc not appear TO differ substan-
TALLY from those on the Baltic Seacoast.
It is found near Santiago City, associated
with Ignite. sandstones and conglomerates.
These beds probably belong TO the oligocene
formation and are found containing amber
at a number OF places on the north coast,
as we'll as or, both TANKS Of the Monte CristI
range. IL also frequently occurs In the
streams lowing through these beds.
The amber is usually In ovate Jumps rang

MOSQUITOES KILL PET BIRDS.
They Are Deadly Enemies OF CanarIes and
Pigeons.

From the Baltimore American.
That scores Of canaries, pigeons and other
birds in captivity in this city are the victims
OF the merciless attacks OF mosquitoes during
the summer months is the opinion Of nan
bird fanciers and those in a position to know.
IL Is insisted by these owners OF feathered
pets that great numbers OF birds become
weakened and die from the effects OF having
the life blood sucked from their bodies by the
insects at night.
cit would be dim cult to estimate the number
OF feathered pets which each year die in this
city from the nightly attacks Of mosquitoes
said James A. Graham, a canary fancieT.
Il noticed several years ago that the legs
OF nv pets were swollen and the skin cracked
and sore. Some OF the birds had died from
some cause that puzzled not only me, but
some Of the best posted bird men in the city.
All kinds OF remedies were tried, but the
birds continued to shrink and drop from
their perches dead. 1t was suggested to me
finally that mosquitoes might have been the
cause. l at once set to work to remedy the
trouble. The cages were covered with a net
each night to keep tho pests out. and as an
extra p%recaution the legs OF the birds were
dipped in pennyroysl. red cedar and other
oils that are known to be Objectionable to
the mosquito. The effect was really magical.
In less than a week the birds began to sing,
we're active and began to show sings Of re-
neWeQ uehIus MY CtSob are HOW CONtTeu
and will remain so until the last mosquito
has taken its departure"
Mr.. Graham was asked II he thought the
insects could bite through the feathers Of the
canary.
with perfect ease was the answer. 1T is
q well. known fact that all birds when asleep
during the hot weather open their feathers
to allow the free circulation Of the air. This
makes it easy for the long billed mosquito
to get In its deadly work.
There Is no pest that compares with the
mosquito, so far as the injury to captive
birds IL concerned, said John Murray. an
other canary fancier. Il have never tried
the use Of oils or other preventives on
the birds. the net over their cages having
met every requirement Of the case and being
the remedy attended with the least trouble,
Whenever birds begin TO dro0p and die In
the summer without any apparent cause you
may rest assured that the mosquito Is get
ting In its work, and some remedy must be
promptly applied or IL will be too late"
George +. Obrecht, who owns one OF the
finest lofts Of thorOuRhbred carrier pigeons
IN the city. said hat the mosquito suggestion
that has for years puzzled owners of captive
birds in this city.
7 have known whole lofts 81 fine birds TO
become puny and TO actually drop from their
roOsts without being able to assign any reason
able cause for the trouble. The suggestion Of
cause is a perfectly rational answer to the
puzzle. ! have no doubt In the world that the
attacks Of the insects are responsible for the
deaths OF scores OF pet birds In this city each
year. Young pigeons are, l have no doubt,
! very susceptible to the poisonous bites:
