DOne for History.
 Nav York Feb. 4.-In an address be- fore Che College of Physlcians and Surgeons, Dr. George Adami of McGih University said that 1t was the mos quito and not the graft that caused the French to fail in their project to build the Panama canal.
 This malaria breeding pest. he con- tinued, was indirectly responsible for the decay of Greece and the fall of Rome, After paying q high tribute to American medical science for the work in Cuba and in Panama he said; {
 Half the population of tho world die from malaria, in most cases spread by the mosquito. Out of six millions who died in India, i've millions died from malaria. Pathological research has led to practicat means of prevention and the death rate has greatly decreased" |"

 WEATHER CONDITIONS. The barometer has fallen slowly over the Southern States, being now highest over middle Florida, and, while fair weather has prevailed to the south Of the Ohio and Missouri rivers. there has been a continued rise in temperature over the country east of the Rockies. the rise being pronounced In Arkansas and Tennessee.
 The temperature rise is induced by an area of low barometer covering most of the interior, with center moving eastward over North Dakota. This disturbance has caused very general rain or snow in the western districts. with considerable cloudi- ness along the northern border, and light snow has fallen at scattered points in Inc lake region and on the middle Atlantic coast.
 Conditions favor partly cloudy weather in Alabama during tonight and Friday. with warmer tonight.
