MOSQUITOES HOLD UP TRAIN.
Millions Of Pest Swarm Into Coaches
Near eadgley, la.

Des Moines, Ia.-A swarm of mos.
quitoes, millions in number, literally
stalled a Minnesota & St. Louis rail
road train at Badgley the other night
For two hours the heavily loaded
train was tied up by it's eght with the
pests and the 100 passengers were al
most crazed before they escaped.
The attack was made early in the
evening. just as the train started to
pull out of Badgley.
Because of the hot weather the win.
dows in the passenger coaches had
been beft open and the mosquitoes
driven from the marshes by the rain
swarmed into the cars. attacking the
passengers. For a while the pas
sengers attempted to fight the pests
with handkerchiefs and hands, but as
they increased in number and ferocity
the conductor was finally appealed to
and stopped the train.
For two hours the train was stalled
while the passengers. driven from the
coaches. built fires along the right OF
way. making dense smudge which
afforded then a littla relief. The
smudge was then carried into the
coaches and the mosquitoes finally
driven out. Many of the passengers
had hands and faces almost eaten raw
by the attacks.

The new color scintillator is an at.

by which the beams of light can be
made any color at will. Thus the

thing in spectacular effect save the

The proposition is to illuminate
