AUTHORITY ON BUGS
New Jersey Girl One Of Uncle
Sans Youngest Scientists.
Miss Evelyn Mitchell Of East Orange,
Known In Europe and America
as an Expert on Life Of In
sect World.

Washington-Miss Evelyn Mitchell,
one of the youngest women scientists
in the United States, who is now do
ing important work for the govern
ment at the Smithsonian Institution,
is preparing to write book on gnats.
Miss Mitchell has already attracted
the attention of the scientific world
both in America and Europe by a no.
table work on mosquitoes entitled.
Mosquito Life" and is concluding her
collection of gnats for the purpose Of
embodying in book form her study of
them.
Miss Mitchell, who is under thirty
doing expert work for the government,
Is the daughter of Marcus Mitchell,
postmaster of East Orange, n j., and
Is graduate of Cornell university.
She looks less like a scientist than
could be imagined by any one who has
as old and decidedly peculiar in dress
and in personality. Miss Mitchell is
full of life and enjoys sports that
every college girl does. She never
talks bug" but in her work at the
National museum here she sits side by
side with men who have spent years
of long life in scientific research.
The spectacle of a woman not yet
out of her twenties doing remarkable
work for the government is rather un-
usual even at the capital, where wom-
en- are engaged in many and varied
branches of work. Miss Mitchell
came here in 1904, and has since been
engaged in scientific work. Previous

and the octagonal outer boundary 103
feet across flats at the footing level,
tapering to Ga and 81 foot diameterS
at the top of the concrete. The foun-
dation was constructed of 1875 Stag
concrete. The sand and stone were
obtained from the smelter furnaces.
In the work of construction 5000 bar.
rels of cement, 1000 cubic yards Of
sand and 1000 cubic yards of Stag
were used; the cost of materials and
construction was in the neighborhood
of $4,000

Of per cent. About this point the
section is circular, the first $50 feet
above the base having taper of 7
per cent the next 100 feet 4 per cent.
and the remaining $50 feet per cent.
The chimney was built in twenty
three sections, nineteen Of these are
above the octagonal base. The thick
ness of the chimney wall varies from
&C inches at the base to 1875 inches
at the top. The outside diameter at
the base is 7S1a feet and 5SA feet
at the base of the cap. The inside d.
ameter at the base is 66b feet; at the
top so feet. In the base of the chin,

Only Cure for Consumption.

With the present rapid growth OF
the anti-tuberculosis movement the
number of so-called "cures" for con
sumption is being increased almost
daily. Hundreds of quack doctors,
professors" and institutes" are ad-
vertising that they can cure consump.
tion for small amounts, with the re.
suit that thousands of dupes are year,
ly cheated out of their lives as well
as their money. Besides these, cures
and medicines of all sorts, numbering
now several hundred are sold for the
deception of the public.
The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
brands all these Institutes, doctors,
professors and cures as frauds and de-
ceptions. The only cure for consump-
tion is fresh air, rest and wholesome
food

to that she had had wide experience
in the field following her course Of
study at Cornell The circumstances
her education at the big college in
Ithaca and the determination with
which she pursued her interest in in
sect life are more than ordinarily in
teresting.
When Miss Mitchell was small
youngster playing about her parents
home in East Orange, she manifested
keen interest in everything that
crawiad or flew. She brought some
thing more than discomfort into the
household when she introduced all
sorts of things, from spiders to bats,
and took delight in watching her cap
tives. When she was ten years old
she was sent to school, and shortly
afterward she came across a book en-
titled Ten Thousand Spiders" by
Burt Green Wilbur, professor of physi-
ology at Cornell university. This was
the first intimation she had that bugs
and beetles and such things were ever
made life study, and during the re-
naming years of her schooling in
East Orange she nursed the hope that
one day she could find Mr.. Wilbur
and study all about his Ten Thou
sand Spiders" with him.
Preparations had been completed by
university, when reverses came and it
looked as If the young nature stu
dent would have to give up her ambi-
ton. She thought it out awhile and
then took French leave of her family,
going to Philadelphia. where she
asked John B. Stetson to lend her the
money, at interest, for her first year
at Cornell. The funds were forthcom.
ing. Miss Mitchell went to college,
and after her first year she worked
her way through, paid back the money
to Mr.. Stetson and was appointed an
instructor in field zoology at the Cor.
nell summer camp.
1t was about this time that DR.. j.
w. Dupree, surgeon general of Louis
lana, sent to Cornell for "first-class
man" to be sent to the Louisiana
State university as field and labora-
tory assistant in mosquito work. Miss
Mitchell was selected as the man"
and she made good.
From Baton Rouge, La Miss Mitch
ell came to Washington and began
her work for the government at the
National museum.
She was the first woman to be
given place on the faculty of George
Washington university, when she was
made instructor in zoology. She is a
member of the Biological Society of
Washington, the American Associa-
ton for the Advancement of Science,
the chronological Society of America
and the National Health league
