The June "Eyeryh0dy's."

"Everybody's" June fiction is rath-
er out of the ordinary. Ia the first
place, Eleanor Abbott maintains the
standard set by her famous prize sto-
rieS. In "Along the Ripply River"
she tells of love and adventure and
heroism with all her usual charm and
little more than her usual vigor, and
out of it all evolves an absorhingly
interesting tale. Robert Dunn re-
counts the insubordination of one of
Uncle Sans sailors who blondined his
hair for the good of the service. 1t
was wrong of the sailor, but here's
three cheers and a pardon for "The

STIFLING THE MOSQUITO.

A Plant known as the ArzOlla Prom
ises to Serve an Excellent Purpose
In Preventing the Breeding of Mos
quitOes i'm Stagnant Waters, and thu
Results Have Attracted Widespread
| Attention.
| AS the summer season approaches
the world in general takes an hcreas-
| ing interest in whatever methods may
| be devised for exterminating the mos
| quito, and the work of the German
government along this line, with par
| ticular reference to it's African colo
MES cannot fail to be of interest.
A plant known as the arzolla prom
ises to serve an excellent purpose in
preventing the breeding of mosquitoes
in stagnant waters, and the results
have attracted widespread attention.
The director of fisheries at Biebrich,
Mr.. hartmann, has, after experiments
covering a period of fourteen years,
found that the most reliable means
against mosquitoes in stagnant wa
ters is the growing of the various
kinds of this semi-tropical plant. His
numerous and always successful ex-
periments induced the director of the
imperial colonial Office to call him to
Berlin in the spring of 1907, and the
colonial Office ordered that the test
of his method should be made by the
Institute for Tropical Hygiene at
Hamburg, where Director Bartmann
had the use of the State botanical in
stitute for propagating the arzolla
plants.
AS, however, Wilhelmshaven pos
sesses malaria station, and as es-
pecially in its vicinity hundreds of
iments were made in that territory
which is full Of stagnant waters and
swamps, infested with mosquitoes.
While the proximity of the sea and
the abnormally cool temperature of
the summer of 1907 had an unfavora
BILE influence upon the growth Of the
plant, it, however, covered the exper-
mental waters in a short time, with a
layer of about six cestimeters (2.362
inches), which suffocated all the mos
quito larvae below and prevented the
living insects from depositing their
eggs in the water. The final official
findings will soon be announced.
It is, however, reported that a
scientific and practical proof
has been made in the laboratories.
Director Bartmann several years
ago communicated his method to the
mosq uito- destroying commission at
Eltvilla on the Rhine, which has used
it repeatedly with good success, espe-
cially as the discoverer furnishes free
of charge the necessary plants from
the experimental waters in the park
