tigua, where all the ponds have been stocked
with the little fish, and "~planters and Others
have commented on the apparent abatement
of the mosquito nuisance in that island"
An interesting account is given in the
article of the transference OF a stock Of these
tiny fishes from Barbados to Guayaquil.
They were contained in two kerosene tins,
in each of which were about 100 fish in
about two gallons of water. These tins were
fixed in boxes large enough to allow q peck
ing Of 2 inches of sawdust around the sides
and at the bottom Of the tin. A piece of
wire gauze was fastened on the top of each
tin SO as to prevent the fish being thrown
out if the water was spIashed by the rolling
of the ship OF by carelessness in handling the
tins.
Directions were given shat the fish while
en- route to Colon should be fed on finely
chopped raw beef, finely chopped hardbolled
eggs or corn meal, not more than q teaspoon
ful to each tin at a time, and that not often
or than once in two days. II. M. Consul ,t
Colon was asked to have the tins cleaned
out by siphoning off the sediment at the
bottom of the tins and fresh water added to
make up the original amount of 2 gallons,
and to have the same feeding directions car
ried out on board ship from Panama to
Guayaquil.
1.-The Imperial Commissioners OF A9~rlcu't ure
has been notified that these fish reached
their destination in good condition. Only
one dead fish was found in the tins at Pana,
ma and none at G~uayaQuil-"
There is a remarkable absence Of fresh
water ponds in Santa Cruz, which in this
respect presents q contrast to Antigua,
where such ponds are numerous. It is there
fore hardly possible, that any use can be
made of millions" in this island, and we
may derive a foxy kind of consolation from
the fact that it seems aoubtful after all
whether Barbados owes Its freedom from
the malarial mosquito to these little fishes.
That they keep down MOSQUITOES in general
canDot be doubted, but the entomolOgist who
writes The article points out, first, that there are
many Temporary pools in Barbados in which
millions" never come. but which furnish
breeding places for mosquitoes, and next that
the same species of fish lives in St. Lucia,
which nevertheless possesses the anoph9les
mosquito.

The complete success of the new
fuel while on this 2650-mile public
test and the advantages gained
through its use were well described
in the following dispatch which the
correspondent of the New York Sun
sent to his paper at the conclusion Of
the tour:
"A feature of the tour which was
watched with special interest was
that the White Steamer used kero-
sene, or coal oil, as fuel instead of
gasoline. The new fuel worked
splendidly throughout the 2650-mile
journey, and all claims made in its
behalf were fully proven. First Of
all, as regards cheapness, the White
driver secured kerosene all along the
route from cents to 10 cents cheap
er per gallon than was paid for gaso-
lene. Secondly, the new fuel was
handled without any precautions, and
1t was not unusual to see kerosene
being poured into the fuel tank while
the crew of the car and an Interested
crowd stood by with lighted cigars
and cigarettes. At the finish Of the
tour, the White was the only car per-
mitted by the authorities to enter
Convention Hall, where the technical
examination took place, without
draining its fuel tank. Thirdly, the
new fuel proved to be absolutely
without smoke or smell. Fourthiy

showed that kerosene Is at least
fifteen per cent more ef1cient, gallon
for gallon, than gasoline. The car In
other respects made most creditable
showing, and there was the usual riv-
airy among the observers to be as
signed to the White so that they
could ride with the maximum Of CONF
fort. The only adjustments or re-
pairs charged against the car during
the long trip were tightening lubri-

A particularly interesting feature
OF the new White Steamer is that
either kerosene or gasoline may be
used as fuel. The necessary ADJUST
ments so that the fuelmay be changed
from kerosene to gasoline. or vice

minutes; but SO completely successful

The. most interesting announce
ment ever made in connection with
the automobile industry was un-
doubtedly that made month or two
ago to the effect that the new models
of the White Steam Cars could be run
on kerosene, or coal oil, instead of
gasoline. Everyone at once recog-
nized that the use of the new fuel
would add materially to the advan-
tages which the White already pos
sessed over other types of cars.
There were some people, however,
who were sceptical as to whether or
not the new fuel could be used with
complete success and, therefore, the
makers Of the White Car, the White
Company, of Cleveland, Ohio, deter
mined to make a public demonstra-
ton of the new fuel in the 1909 Gid
den Tour.
From the standpoint of the public,
no test more satisfactory could have
been selected. First of all, the dis
lance covered on the Glidden Tour,
from Detroit to Denver and thence to
Kansas City, was 1850 miles. This
was certainly more than sufficient to
bring out any weaknesses, if such had
existed. Still more important was
the fact that the car was at all times
while on the road under the supervi-
sion of observers, named by those
who entered other contesting cars
