The Safest Investments

their smaller and more dangerous kins-
men. thus doing something. perhaps. to
raise the average mortality OF their
race.
Counting them all and considering the
savage and remote regions where 50
many billions live and die it is safe to
say that not one in twenty ever tastes
blood OF any kind, living instead on the
thinner juices Of leaves and tender
shoots. The swimming wigglers do. in
deed, a little scavenger work, In the way
and puddles where they make their tenn
porary homes But. that aside. not the
most fervent mosquitarian has ever been
able to discover that the whole swarm
ing race has any useful or benehcient
purpose in the world The best they do
is to annoy; the worst to slay on a
Napoleonic scale. Anopheles kills 10000
people each year in the United States.
The malaria bearing mosquito pursues
its villainous business only under cover
,ef night Usually it is marked with black
spoB vs.--its wings and It differs from
culex, the cofanaratively harmless and
more common species. IN that its back Is
straight, while that of culex Is distinctly
bumped The male anopheles. which Is
perfectly harmless, wears a bunch Of
bushy antennae On his head; the female
las usual the only dangerous member
Of the family-anects plain and simple
millinery. Her feelers are straight and
plain. The common mosquito has only
the agony with her three. .pronged lancet.
So with absolutely nothing In its favor
and most Of the crimes and calamftfeS
of history laid at its door. the ultimate
doom of the mosquito has been pro-
nounced.

Among the more curious discoveries

Balloon Fish in Hawaiian Waters.

From the Springfield Republican.
or Waikiki Beach. Mr.. c. w. Shear
man Of Springfield caught several me
snecimens Of the balloon fish, which Is
native to Hawaiian waters. This curious
creature has solved the problem OF aquat-
ic fight by learning how to puff itself
suddenly to twice its normal size as oc-
casion may demand. This is usually when
the fish is angry. It is covered with
short sharp spines, which project from
every point Of its round body and for
this reason it is necessary for balloon
fishermen to wear rubber gloves. The
fish has four large teeth and 3 tail like 2
feather fan: indeed. the specimen which which
hangs in Mr Shearman's unique trophy
room appears ct first glance more like .
bird than q fish. Instead Of the horn
slides which our great-grandfathers used
to place in their lanterns, the Hawaiians
were accustomed to by the translucent
skin Of the balloon fish. stretched over
