He Ouuht TO Know.

At one of the big receptions given
by the fleet at Newport News Just pre-.
Vious to its departure for the Pacific
the six-year-old son of a noted geolo-
gst was among those present" As
the youngster reached Admiral Evans.
at the head of the receiving line, the
admiral, who has a warm spot in his
heart for small boys, picked the little
fellow up, perched him on his shoulder,
and remarked: Now, little lad. what
have you got to say for yourself?"
Not a whit abashed by his exalted
position or the distinguished company
around him, the small boy looked the
commander straight in the face and
demanded, why does a wabbit wiggle
his nose?"
As nature study is not as yet re.
quired for the navy, the admiral was
in beyond his depth. He parted the
question by asking another-"Why do
you ask me, little man."
Because" answered the youthful
scientist, because l think you look

the circumstances"
Impossible" he persisted. Expert
ments made a few years ago in Cuba
demonstrated fully that the disease
can be conveyed only by a mosquito,

The lady hesitated for a moment di.
