 It is almost if not quite as hard now to mag inc what the world meant before the age or steam as if is to think out what will be its mean ing in the age Of the perfected airship and aero plane Every contrast possible in the St. Louis centennial week of pageants is challenge 10 look backward and forward in the attempt to find out what a hundred years already mean, as the first success in the attempt to find what 1t Is to mean shortly for this generation and for the grandchildren of this generation in 2009.
 The makers of the centennial week program were keenly alive to the opportunities for spec tacuar effect suggested by the most striking events of the worlds progress. The aeronautic events such as balloon races aeropane and diri- gibe balloon contests suggest the future possi- bilities of transportation in contrast with those of 1909 For comparison with automobiles and aeroplanes the bateau of Laclede's day, with it's stumpy mast, it's cordelle and its sweeps is educational feature of the water pageant, which includes crafts of all the kinds which now ply the waters of the Mississippi The Yelled Prophets pag ageant. unique and picturesque, is another fea- ture which is full of romantic interest. The edu- cational parade. the parade representing 5000 of St Louis industries the procession of a thou sand mayors and the other events which find a place on the program all suggest that as great week for St Louis it's centennial week is still greater, as it belongs to hundred years of his tory-making for the continental United States

Its bank clearngs increased from $292 900 900 in 1869 to $3,074 100000 in 1908. It's tonnage of merchant disc received and forwarded was 20 162 900 tons for the first six months of this year.

One afternoon. at Anglesea, Dr. Smith occupied himself for an hour in cap turing marsh mosquitoes that came to bite him, and found that fully half of them were infected
 On the other hand the infected in sects were noticeably sluggish and easily recognized by their actions and appearances as diseased Investiga- tion showed that they were least nu- merous in places where the worms were most common. Evidently, then. the worms are agents of nature for keeping mosquitoes in check to a cer- great effectiveness. It only remains to be ascertained whether their ef4 ficiency in this line can be important ly increased by artificial means.
 In other words, is 1t practicable to breed the worms artihcially and in troduce them into mosquito-cursed places? The first thing to be done, obviously, in making such an attempt, is to obtain definite and exact knowi- edge of the life history of the para site. Fortunately. although almost nothing is known as yet on this sub ject. there is a good deal that can be inferred with reasonable certainty For example. there is hardly any ques- tion of the fact that the worms breed in marsh mud.
 Dr. Smith has found them not only in the adult mosquitoes, but also in the abdominal cavities of the larvae and, pupae-the two forms of mosquito life following the egg, both of which are water-dwellers. It seems evident, then. that infection takes place in the water and nowhere else. That is to say, the worms (themSelVeS water-dweiierse attack the "wrigglers" and the pupae- into which these larvae transform themselves, and bore into their bellies.

DISSERTATION ON THE DAWN
Humorous Writer Trr Cippfncott,s Makes Few Remarks of More
 or Less Value. X

The most difficult, exasperatfng ana rantankerous pessimist with which the smiling. festive and irrepressible sps tlmlst has to deal is the fellow who takes some stock in the old saving that 1t is always darkest just hefors dawn. There is, of course no argp. ment over the fact that dawn is a tov- ous occasion, even if 1t is more pleas ant to stay up for it. under proper eor,- ditions. than to get up for 1t. but says the pessimist, admitting the truth of the adage, one cannot tell when fl is darkest. until he actually sees the dawn. He is likely to say. further more, that if it's going to bring dawn any sooner. let it get dark as-almoSe anything, and the sooner and darker the better.
 One positively cannot argue acainsf such logic, for, as aforesaid, dawn is a joyous occasion except to the man who is alseep. and he doesn't count As for the man who is intoxicated ss~ is also question whether many os inc beauties of dawn are not lost, becanse he Is already so busy with his own ra.
 
 responsibilities that he cannot take nm any new joy
 Then there Is the man who wouls stay up all night in brilliantly lirh,e,s room. practicing auto-suggestion hv repeating the word good" Under ths glare of artificiality such a man woufs be prone to claim that there was m darkness outside, but that it WAS aIN inside. But. if after settling nm ns went out at the first faint blush of dawn. 1t would look to him like abous5 30 cents worth of adulterated tafIou, candles and it might require severar subsequent sttings with the cards running better to dispel the hallucins, tion.
 All these. of course, are exceptfous which cannot be considered. Normally darkness and dawn have to be taken, just as they come. and they contiuue to come with regularity. pessimists- and optimists to the contrary notwitn standing. ng.-Lippincott's.

 It is a severe strain on the imagination to at- tempt to bridge over the gap between the mean ing of an airship crossing the Mississippi river at St Louis this year and what the ancient keel boats of 1909 meant, they landed at the foot of Walnut street where the town was founded in l764 by the pioneers who had padded and cor delled their bateaux painfully up the river from New Orleans under Iaclede he advanced in the bold attempt to control the fur trade of half . continent with his handful of men
