On the last 500 years." he says, "the
MOSQUITO has destroyed more human be.
ings than exist today. Its power oil
wreckage to our health is unlimited.
Mosquitoes are the sole cause OF malaria,
yellow fever felariasis, and probably OF
breakbone fever or beri. Felariasis Is
very common in tropical countries. Ger,
tain reputable scientists believe that
felariasis is the cause Of the dreaded
'sleepinp sickness The embryae OF
felariass germs are sucked with the
blood of infected persons into the stom-
ach of the mosquito. Once there they
drive their bodies against the sheath pro
tecting the channels that conduct the
human blood into the stomach, rupture
them and escape into the blood OF the
next person bitten by the mosquito.
malaria is caused by mosquitoes
alone. Yellow fever is caused only by
the mosquito. During the past 100 years
more than 100000 persons died from vel
low fever, and some 100000 were inject
ed. But mosquitoes spreading telariasis
and malaria are much more dangerous
The germs of felariasis are in the blood
of from 10 to so per cent. OF the peoples
of the entire tropical and sub-tropicaal
portions of the globe. Malaria, too, Is
extremely prevalent. If we, take as
base for estimating its world prevalence
the continental United States, when
gives an average of $4,000 deaths year
or about 375 infected with 1t, the tota
number of deaths throughout the world
due to malaria would be over quarter
of a million and the number injected
over 5000, 0O0"

tiOn.
These rules are designed 10 preserve
ana enforce the methods of conservative
banking, Thus one OF its standing COM
inittees has power for clearing house pur.
poses TO examine all books and assets OF
any member of the association whenever
It may deem il necessary.
In case a bank is solvent, but there is
a run upon il, the clearing house com.
mlttee quietly visits the institution and
makes q thorough examination OF its af.
iain II the examination shows that the
assets are all right and that the bank de.
serves assistance, the clearing house de.
cdes the amount, selects good collateral
from the assets, and against this collateral
advances such cash as may be necessary
TO carry along the bank until il is clear
OF trouble, The clearing house holds this
collateral for the benefit of all the banks
which have contributed the cash required
Tor the emergency, In New York recent
ly several banks were assisted in this
manner, which otherwise might have
failed.
A clearing house association is always
on the alert To guard the financial inter.
ests of the public. Ii a bank is over
trading is lending too much money, Is
too frequently below the reserve line or
there is anything unsatisfactory about
the management, a committee OF the as
ISOLATION steps in and makes an eNamina-
ton. The orders of the association must
be obeyed, because any member can be
suspended from the privileges of the
clearing house until the association is sat
isiied there should be a reinstatement or
permanent dismissal.
The power of the clearing house to issue
loan certificates in such critical years as
1865, 1873 1893 and 1907 has been a bull
warll of safety to the banking interests
of the whole country-Boston Globe.

day trade and a heavier volume of future
orders booked than ever before the COM

in showing that the turn over was the

COMPARISONS FAVORABLE
Less Than Customary pui!ncss for Hell

New York. Dec. 2S.-R. G. Dun & cos
weekly review of trade tomorrow will
say;
Less than the customary dullness in
general business followed the holiday
and Christians week made n favorable
comparison with previous years as -
the volume of trade. Retail sales of sea
sonabie wearing apparel have been large
on account of the low temperature in
most sections and final reports of holiday
business equal the most sanguine pre-
statements. Wholesale business
is good for the season and collections
show further improvement. JObhcrs are
delivering spring goods in some lines.
adding to the freight congestion which
has not been relieved. except in isolated
cases. Manufacturers complain of the
light receipts of fuel and raw material.
ON the whole. however. there Is less idle
machinery than is customary at this
time. Railway earnings thus far reported
for December surpass last years by 80
per cent. for December, while foreign
commerce at this port alone for the
last week shows gains of sl.05SGS7 in ex-
ports and s1,532i2 in imports.
Failures this week number 49, in the
United States against 227 last year and
II in Canada against q year ago.
