Flies and Mosquitoes.

fheS ana mOSqu1COeS.
We find the following method of
killing flies and mosquitoes in an eX
change credited to the True Democrat.
1t is becoming well known that flies
are as dangerous, often more so, than
mosquitoes. 1t is therefore important
TO know how to get rid of them.
Now that summer and mosquitoes
are upon us, it is interesting to read
and glOat over schemes for destroying
the winged tOrmentOrs and disease
carriers by the thousand. Among the
most efficient and least troublesome
cullicides is the one derived by Prof
Minis of New Orleans, which consists
of mixture of carbOlic acid and
camphOr. vapOrized with the heat of
lamp. The doors and windows of a
room troubled with mosquitoes or
flies are to be closed and the mixture
evapOrated. when, after an interval
of twenty minutes, the room may be
entered with safety. The floor will
he covered with the dead insects. If
one window lis left with the shade up,
while others are drawn down, the
mosquitoes will he found on the floor
under the lighted window
The carbOlic acid crystals and cam
phOr are mixed in equal weights and
placed in an ordinary granite wash
basin to be evapOrated. An alcohol
lamp gives the heat. being surrounded
by piece of stove pipe g inches high
and six inches in diameter. Near the
top end of the pipe One-fourth- inch
holes are punched. and near the bot
tom pieces are cut out to admit air.
The lamp for safety is set in tin pan.
containing One-half-inch of water. AS
the camphOr may catch fire spontane-
ously if incautiOnsly heated, some sup
ervisiOn is necessary to prevent over
heating.
The evaporation takes but twenty
minutes and is effective. Sulphur acts
as quickly, but its fumes last longer
and injure fabrics. Pyrethrum costs
more and must be burned two hours
Eight ounces of the culicide is the
maximum quantity to use at one time.
being sufficient to clear a room of 2. 900
cubic feet capacity. The method may
be troublesome. but the harvest of flies
and mosquitoes swept up after the job
| is completed amply compensates for
all the labor.

ARE HOLDING A TWO DAYS sEs-
SION AT MoReANToWN
COURSE OF STUDY
CHANGED.

MoRGANToWN, July 20. - The
principals of the State Normal schools
are holding a two days session at the
peabody hotel Two meetings were
held yesterday, one in the morning
and another in the afternoon. They
will meet again to-day.
Principal L. j. corbly, OF Marshall
college, arrived in the city Tuesday
night and Principals Isabel Daven-
port, of Athens; U. s. Fleming, of
Fairmont; j. G. Knutti, of Shepherds
town, arrived yesterday.
The principle business that was
done yesterday was a revision of the
text books. The schools have aunt
form system of text books in use, but
many of the books used are getting
out of date, as it has been several
years since the list was last revised.
A change was also made in the
course of study in normal schools.
They had previously had course
known as the academic course. This
course has been divided into three
courses and will henceforth contain
an ancient language course, modern
language course, and scientific
course.
AS the normal school principals
are going to take part in the educa-
tionaI conference that begins here on
Friday, it made a meeting here at
this time convenient and with that
aim in view they came early.

WASHINGTON, July 26.-The or
ders sent to Major General Leonard
Wood, commanding the Philippine
Division of the army to send back to
New York at an early date the trans.
ports Meade. Fitzpatrick, Mcclellan
and Ingles caused considerable com.
ment in department circles when Tho.
order became known. 1t is how TN.
derstood that the State Department
no longer fears an outbreak in China
resulting from the Chinese threat to
boycott American goods. The de-
partment is satisfied that the crisis is
passed and there Is no longer the
need of dispatching troops from the
Philippines to Chinese territory.
For several months the four big
transports named have been held IN
readiness at Manila to load at mo-
ment's notice these troop ships with
American soldiers and rush them TO
China. Three regiments of infantry
and a battery of artillery were sent
over to the Philippines in the early
spring to be ready for any Chinese
outbreak which threatened at thai
time. The fact that this country was
ready to send large army to China
to protect American citizens and their
interests, in case of serious outbreak
had good effect upon China, for or
.ders were issued at Picking to tho
viceroys Of the turbulent provinces
to Immediately put down all antI-for
eign Disturbances at any cost
1t now develops that the threatened
boycott by Chinese merchants was for
the purpose Of bluffing the American
government into letting down the bars
against Chinese immigration, but the
meeting of this blum by the American
officials in sending three regiments
md two cruisers to The Philippines
for Chinese service called the Chinese
blum and caused them to lay their
hands down.
