Panama Mosquitoes.

A visitor to the canal zone of PAN
ANA can have the privilege of an in
PRODUCTION to not less than ci@hty-thrce
species of mosquitoes, thirty of them
found nowhere else. Fortunately they
do not all bite, and the contagion Of
yellow fever is carried by only one of
them. Certain genera. technically called
megarhinus. psorophora and lutzia. are
found, which instead of spreading any
disease hostile to men wage war on
their weaker cousins and at times even
on their brothers and sisters. The yell
low fever mosquito, the only kind in
America spreading this infection, sci
cntifically called stegomyia, is very
scarce. 1t is possible to live for weeks
on the line of the canal without seeing
single specimen. This mosquito is a
strictly domestic insect, never found
away from man. 1t breeds only in
artificial rcceptacleS, such as barrels,
water coolers bottles and tin cans in
and around human habtations.-Chi-

THE PERSONAL EQUATION.
1t Plays a Very Large Part In Success
In Business.

If you stop for moment to analyZe
success in business you will see 1t
comes through contact with people.
1t is all hinged upon the manner of
your contact. On every side you are
surrounded by multitude of persons,
in every one of whom there exists
potential force that may be eXertcd,
at one time or another, to add to your
success. The oftencr you cause that
force to be eXertcd the faster your
business will grow. You can attract
these individual forces if you choose
and get the most from them, or you
can repcI them and suffer actual dam
age from having come in contact with
them, or you may take middle
course, as many business men do, and
drift along in a purely negative man
ner.
Looking at business in this light, 1t
is apparent that the underlying cle-
mcnt which contributes most to the
success of any undertaking and to
business in the aggregate is the art
of finding the vital points of human
contact that will set in motion these
forces The personal element must be
stamped upon your business. edward

present a surface like asphalt pave
ment is Just in its infancy in southern
California. says the Los Angeles
Times. In Pasadena there are num-
Der of streets of this kind, notably
Madison avenue, prepared at cost OF
10 cents per square foot and with Il
depth of seven inches of foundation.
Blocks of this street are scarcely dis
tinguiShablc from asphalt paving.
There are others similar, but some are
not equal to this. At the same time
they are superior to those prepared in
the Old way.
The new method of macadamiZing
and oilng as laid down in set of
specifications used for n number of
streets may be outlined substantially
as follows: For the foundation grading
Is done by the removal of all earth,
stone, loose rock, cement Shalc, hard
pan, etc, to a depth of seven Inches
below the intended finished surface
and to a farther depth of two feet be-
low the Suhgrade whenever mud, sand
or other soil material is encountered,
the space to be rctiled with good
earth or gravel. The whole is rolled
with roller of not less than twelve
tons in weight until the surface is un-
yielding, all deprcSSionS made by the
roller being filled up and rolled again,
All portions that cannot he reached by
the roller must he tamped SOlid and
the rolling must not be done In wet
weather or when the ground is soft
and muddy. This subgrade must be
checked by the street superintendent
before proceeding with work
On this grade bottom course of
macadam is laid consisting of stone
not exceeding three inches in diameter
and not less than one and Il half inch
es. This layer will be five inches In
thickness and is rolled with a twelve
ton steam roller until the stone ceases
to sink under the roller or to creep In
front of it.
4 top course of stone between three
fourths of an inch and an inch and
half In diameter will cover this to
depth of two inches and will be rolled
as before after n first coating of oil
a.
IS applied evenly so as to Saturate the
entire top layer. Then all voids are
filled in with rock screenings of the
same material as the macadam not cX-
ceeding three quarters of an inch in
diameter, with top dressing of the
same material laid to the depth of half
an inch, after which there Is given Il
second coating of oil to the same
amount as before and the whole rolled
and tampCd until no evidence of the oil
remains on the surface except as
shown in the color of the screenings.
Sharp sand is to be sprinkled wherever
any oil remains to absorb it. These
Speciticatirus provide that oil shall be
of 10 to IL gravity, with so per cent
aSphaltum mt so penetration and with
not more than per cent water.
The Pacific Electric and Los Angeles
Interurban railways are using this
method on their rights of way In Pasa-
dena, Long Beach and one or two
other points 1t is said to be better
than the use Of asphalt, as 1t gives
with the pressure of the rails under
weight of cars and can be taken up
and replaced without difficulty. 1t does
not crack and lump, as does the as
phalt. 1t Is hard to tell it from the
latter, sometimes impossible, for the
average person. In Long Beach the
result has been very good.
