FISH TO DESTROY MOSQUITOES
Finny Tribe from Barbados Will Be
Used for This Purpose on
Panama Canal.

Washington.-Uncle Sam Is import
ing fish into the Panama canal zone
now to eat up the mosquitoes there
before the latter eat up his nice new
canal.
According to the Panaman officials,
the fish employed by the government
to eat up the pesky little stingers are
popularity known as millions" and
less popularity known in the city direc-
tory of fishdom as "Girardinus poecil-
oides,' and are natives of Barbadoes,
West Indies.
These fish belong to the group
broadly known as top minnows, SO
called from always feeding at or near
the surface of the water, for which
the structure of their mouth and habit
of swimming, with large portion OF
their back out of water. adapts them.
This habit. in connection with their
enables them to secure their food by
pursuing II across plants and masses
of algae over which there is only a
thin film Of water. They derive their
name from the great schools in which
they are found. are small. never ever
one and one-half inches long, and are
found in stagnant. sluggish and run
ming water, either fresh or brackish.
The group to which they belong is
omnivorous. but 1t has been discov-
cred that II mosquito larvae are ac-
cessible the millions" will eat It In
preference to other food. and they are
said to eat the adult mosquito also.
They ascend streams against a swift
current and penetrate into the small
est rivulets. The species is vivipar-
GUS; that is, their young are born
alive and not hatched from eggs. This
aids in their rapid multiplication, as
the young. rapidly-moving fish are less
exposed 10 enemies than they would
be II hatched from eggs. They are
hardy and stand transportation well.
The absence of malaria In BaTba-
does has been attributed to the pres
ence of these fish, by their destruc-
tion of the larvae of malaria carrying
mosquitoes.

REASON FOR SWINGING ARMS.
is q Reminder OF the Days When We
Walked on All Fours, Says
Scientist.

London.-Sir Victor Horsley, lectur
ing before medical society, explained
the habit of swinging the arms when
walking. He said 1t was unnecessary
and a relic of days when we walked
on all fours. He said we still keep on
moving all four limbs alternately when
we walk upright.
Sir Victor set forth some ideas con.
cerning the functions OF the cerebel-
lum. Primarily the cerebellum must
be regarded, said the lecturer, as an
organ which has an important part in
correct performance Of many OF our
automatic actions.
Walking. standing. running are ex-
amples of such actions, he said, which
cannot be accurately carried out with
out normal, well.balanced cerebellum.
Newborn animals, he said, cannot
stand. They sprawl. and before they
can stand or walk or run there must
be development of the cerebellum.
In proof of this Sir Victor pointed
out that the cerebellum OF q full
grown cat showed fully developed cells
and fibers, whereas in the brains OF
newborn kittens this portion is not
yet organized into active nerve tbs.
