ingS in the nozzle have been enlarged
somewhat. One pint of oil to a water
surface twenty feet in diameter is the ac-
cepted proportion. An application will
suffice for about two weeks, 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

THE MOSQUITO A "HoME BODY"

The MOSQUITO HOME BODY.
The secret of success of individual or
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, un-
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 strict vegetarian)
Therefore, in order to wage a successful
war of determination on the MOSQUITO,
it is necessary only to discover the breed
ing place or places-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-hlled
hollows of trees we'll 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 a 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 a body of water an un-
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

Glad tidlngs OF great JOY" to the mos
quito-ridden household and COM
~ munity! Excepting the salt water
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 fam
lily summering in the Catskill 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 rain water tank from which wa
ter was drawn off, as required, by means
orally swarned with mosquito Larvae or
"wigglers." Over the surface of the
water the entomologist poured pint of
kerosene. This, forming in an unbrollen
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 boatshaped batch of eggs,
three to four hundred in number. Re
suit before the year was month older,
the mosquito had perished practically
from off the face of the earth, as far as
this particular household was concerned.
1t 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 own on the mosquitoes, that the
fair name of 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 appli-
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 mosqutoes-that the
Council did not hesitate TO amend the
original ordinance by providing a 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

over the south; and the anopheles, or
malaria bearing mosquito, whose habitat
is the greater part of America.
1t is the inland mosquito that gener-
ally breeds in or near house, and owing
to this trait, it is often called the house
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 a house.
HOW TO APPLY KEROSENE.

The cost of mosquito determination is

significance when compared with the
nefits resulting therefrom. Several
miners ago a certain Maryland village

Fia. The following summer forty dol
IS was spent in draining the breeding
bee of the anopheles, and only one case
malaria was reported all summer. The
essence of mosquitoes has prevented
any region from developing as it
perwise would probably have developed,
at least given it an unsavory reputa-
bn; while, conversely, other sections
I've prospered because of, or are famed
Ir, freedom from the pest. What did
mean to Havana, New Orleans, the

Whatever the variety of mosquito, SCI

toved it, too, that the best way to be

Among the very few bodies of water
about house that can not conveniently
be treated with kerosene are cisterns.
These, however, as we'll 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

means of a spigot.
There is no need to put oil in wa

the action until both he and his horse
were shot. Having his painful wound
attended, he turned to ride forward again
when his horse fell dead.

Devine, who came TO this city from Nor
wich few moy this ago. has been ordered
TO jail by Coroner Franklin M. Brown
pending an investigation OF the alleged
hanging of Harry Barker OF $40 Main
street
Barker was employed as painter at
the Riverside shipyard. The yard was
closed on Washington's birthday, and, IN
stead of Barker returning 10 his labor on
Friday. Miss Devne, who says she is his
wife. asked for and received Barker's
three days wages. The woman appeared
10 be intoxicated and jokingly Informed
the cashier that Harry was dead.
Saturday evening Miss Devine walked
Into Donovan's grocery store In Man
street and Informed the proprietor that
Barker was dead In the basement.
Investiga tion showed Barker was really
dead. and apparently by his own hand by
strangulation. The body was leaning
against door. a slip moose of cord cir
cled the neck and was tied 10 the door
latch. There were no signs OF strangula-
ton. Il Is alleged.
IL Is charged Miss Devine made conflict
Ing statements about Barker's death. one
OF her stories being that Barker died OF
heart disease while I'm bed The couple.
