MISSION OF A Tiny FISH.
To Destroy Mosquito EGGS and Save
Inhabitants of TIalarial Regions,

c. Kendrick Gibbons has dis
covered that all the pools and
swamps in Barbados are stocked
with swarms of millions of tiny
fish, which gets its name from its
vast numbers and which feeds on
the larvae of the mosquito.
Some specimens have been tai
en- to England successfully, fon. i.
ishing there in the insect house at
the Geological Gardens. Mr.. Glib
bons has proposed that the millions
be imported into malarial districts,
and his Suggestion has been acted
upon, with happy results. The
Health Board of Antigua, another
island, being convinced of the use
full part played by these fish in
consuming mosquito larvae, has
arranged for their systematic dis
tribution throughout the ponds
and streams of the island.
Like tidings come from Jamaica,
says the Chicago Tribune whittier
a consignment of the fish was sent
not long ago. The secretary of
the Agricultural Society there
writes that the tanks at certain
hotel are full of them and that he
has been informed that here has
been a marked dimunition Of fever
round about, the millions evident
ly accounting for the mosquito
larvae. They have been sent to
Colon and British Guiana. 1t is
suggested that these useful fish get
a trial in the malarial regions of
Africa, if, like the malarial mos
putty, the insects which carry the
terrible diseases which are epidem-
ic there pass the larvae stage of
their existence in water.
The Swedish consul at Frank
fort has discovered another small
fish named the blue-eyed, which
feeds on mosquito larvae. At the
request of the Italian Government,
some are to be sent to the Cam
pagna, where so much has been
done in recent years to diminish
malaria.

HOMEMADE ROAD MACHINE.

Booming the Split-LOg Drag.

figured out that there are 2, 900, 900
miles OF earth roads in the United
States, has hit upon an inexpen-
siveSway for their improvement.
The split-log drag is its solution
of the problem, and the bureau
has set to work to tell the farmers
how to make it.
The main thing needed is a dry
red cedar log, although red elm
and walnut are good, while box
elder, soft maple or even willow
may be used. Oak, hickory and
ash are not recommended.
The log, 7 to 10 feet long and 10
to u inches in diameter at the
butt, IS split as near the center as
possible, the larger place being
used as the front of the drag, and
sometimes being shod with iron
along the lower or cutting edge.
The two slabs on edge and 80
inches apart are fastened together
by stakes in such way that when
the drag is used on one side of the
road the end of the back slab is
about 10 inches nearer the center
of the driveway than the end of
the front slab. This gives what
is called the se,back. Between
the heavy slabs and resting on the
. cor Meeting stakes is a board on
which the driver stands.
a team of horses is hitched to
| this completed drag in such a way
that the drag unloaded will follow
at an angle of abont IS degrees.

one horse on either side of the

A WISE MAN MISTAKEN.

President Charles w: Eliot Of Har-
ward university is a wise man, but
like all other men, wise and otherwise,
ne is liable to make mistakes, and
one of them was when he charged the
labor unions with being responsible
for child labor. He said: Labor I'M
ions are mainly responsible for the ex>
listing conditions. They seek to mono
police the skilled labor Of the country,
restricting the number of apprentices
to less than is absolutely needed to
fill the demands Of skilled labor"
How many of the skilled trades are
under-supplied with mechanics? Thou
sands and tens of thousands of highly
skilled men are walking the streets
looking and ~pining-, for work. This is
a plain fact: But pshaw! A college
president isn't very familiar with facts.
Now, the labor union aims to con-
nne the producers in industry to the
full-groWn men-to keep the women
in the homes and the children in the
schools. When the boy has received
fair education in the public schools
and Raced the mature years that will
permit him to work at trade intelli-
gently "nd without physical injury to
himself, the door Of the union is open
to him.
1t is surprising that an educator of
the prominence of President Eliot
should manifest such an ignorance of
Industrial questions as to charge the
union with crime it is devoted in
ever yparticular to preventative Citi-

A LOVING CUP TO PRESIDENT
GOMPERS

The lips Of Thomas Lewis, the grand
captain Of the miners forces at the
convention In Denver, seemed touched
with fire from off the very altar
of 'the god Of NEUROLOGICAL oratory
when he, in one Of the grandest
speeches that has ever been made be-
fore a convention, presented to the idol
Of Americas laboring millions loving
cup from the convention there assem-
bled and who represented the great
throbbing humanity of the masses of
our commonwealth.
Gould it be wondered at that Samuel
,Gompers was moved as never before :?
Can it be wondered at that the great
heart of Thomas Lewis burned and
throbbed as never before? Can it be
wondered at that the throbbing bub-
bled over in such a grand burst Of
oratory? There, between the repre-
sentatives Of labor's toiling millions
and the man so dear to the hearts
of them all, stood Thomas Lewis,
trembling with a mingled patriotism
and fraternal enthusiasm, to show in
as impressive manner as was pos
sible the great love of the toiling mill
lions for this Grand Old Man.
Can it be wondered at that Thomas
Lewis let his big soul float free in
words of eloquence and of love? Such
an inspiring moment! The silence Of

| be felt when the first word fell from
the lips Of that noble soul.
