CONQUERED THE MOSQUE.
By Destroying the Places Where
They Lay Their Eggs

~
The people of Staten Island, New
York have discovered great bene-
factor in DR.. Doty, who has rid them
entirely of the striped legged mos
euito, that, besides driving away
many potential residents, has hith-
erto made life burden during the
summer months to those residents
who remained, and he has all but
annihiliated the anopneles, its mala-
ria-carrying relative. The conquets
of the mosquito has increased the
value of real estate on the island
by hundreds of thousands of dol
lars; new houses are going up
throughout its length and breadth,
and residences that have long been
Inhabited only by care takers are
being rented.
DR.. Doty's researches show that
the water in which mosquitoes breed
must be continually present for
about two weeks in order to allow
OF the full propagation of the insect,
and that they are not produced in
water that may accumulate for two
or three days or week. They will
breed, however, wherever there is
standing water. The anopheies lar
vac are frequently found in the most
unexpected places, such as old glass
and, tinware, wooden recepticals, de-
fective roof-leaders, and the crotch
es of trees.
AS, with the exception of the SOL
licitans variety, mosquitoes do not
go far from their breeding places,
if any other are found about the
house it is almost certain that
breeding-place exists in the immedi-
ate vicinity. Filthy water or that
which contains an excess of organic
matter is generally preferred by the
anopheles mosquito for this purpose,
so that obstructed cesspools, street
cutters, and similar places are found
to be the favorite breeding spots. 80
The mosquito deposits dts eggs
on the surface of the water, usually
at night, and from fifteen to twen-
ty hours afterward the larvae are
released. Although the larvae can
live only in water, they are entirely
dependent on air for existance, and
must rise every minute or so to the
surface and project above it their
respiratory apparatus. Petroleum
dose not poison the larvae, but Kills
them by suffocation, as the oil on
the surface of the water plugs up
the respiratory apparatus and pre-
vents the intake Of air.
The campaign against the mos
quito does not stop with Staten Is
land. The genus culex doomed
throughout the rest Of the city. At
Flushing, in the Borought of Queens,
which has suffered almost as much
as Richmond from the raVages OF
the sollicitans, the work of drain
ing the great swamp comprising
1900 acres that stretches from
Flushing Bay to College Point is all
but completed, and the marshes at
Dougleston Creek are being ditch
ed.
Similar work is going on in the
Eve thousand acres of swamp land
along the Bronx river. and in the
Borough of Brooklyn ditching has
begun in the marshes that stretch
from Spring Creek and Jamaica Bay
to Remson's Landing and from
Gravesend Bay to Bergen Beach.
With the completion Of this work the
mosquito will have been deprived OF
living-in-accommodations in the tlVe
boroughs and New York city will be
entirely rid Of the pest.

excellent address Both speakers ex-

Catholic Lectures.

A series of lectures have been given
at the schoolhouse this week commenc
ing Monday night, by Rev. Fir. Robt.
A. Skinner, of Winchester, Tenn,
member of the Paulist Order His
subject Monday night was "The Div
unity of Christ, and was heard with
attention by large audience. Tues
day night he spoke ON Reading the
Bible, and last night his subject was
"The True Church +" Tonight he will
speak on the Lords S Supper" and to-
morrow night ON Confession.
These lectures have been a decided
innovation in this community, the
majority of those attending never hav-
ing heard the doctrines of Catholicism
explained. Father Skinner talks i'll
clear phrase, making no attempt at
oratory, but giving the fundamental
doctrines of the church in terse and
lucid style. He is abundantly sup
piled with both historical and biblical
references to prove his points, and the
! Question Box feature, whereby he an
swers questions propounded to him in
writing, is an interesting feature and
causes much comment

SOUTHERN STEEL is FREE
Reorganization May Now Be
Completed.

NEW YORK, June 1.--Vice Chan
cellor Garrison, Of Jersey City, today
refused to grant an injunction re-
straining the reorganization committee
of the Southern Steel company from
proceeding with the organization of
the Southern Iron and Steel company
The court dismissed the order to show
cause, which was obtained by Harri-

er.
The Soutern Steel company is an Al
ALBANIA corporation, and was run indie
pendently of the steel trust. The 1907
panic put it in the bankruptcy court
and, to adjust its affairs, the reorgan-
ization committee, comprising the
holders of the So, 000 900 first mortgage
bonds, was appointed A plan was
formulated for organizing a new cor
poration to be known as the Southern
Iron and Steel company. A majority
of the stockholders approved the plan
and the company was incorporated I'M

ital of $27, 600, 600 to take over the as
sets of the old concern. The plan may
now proceed.

to secure the service of SignOr Ham-

VETERANS SERVICE
Members of Post So, &. A. R.,
Hear Eloquent Sermon by
DR.. Dew.

On Sunday at > p. II. the members OF
Post 50, the local post of the G. A.
r., attended divine service at Owen
Church, hearing a most learned and
eloquent sermon fall from the lips Of
DIR. Dew. A special choir offered mus
Misses Louise Hill, Nina Randle, True
Randle, Mrs. Dew, Mr.. and Mrs. w.
g. Hill, Walter Randle, Miss Grace
Thomas, organist.
The service was opened by singing
the national anthem, America, af-
ter which DR.. Dew read the 47th chap
ter of Isaiah. The song, No. 33,
Higher Ground" was then sung, af-
ter which DR.. Dew offered fervent
prayer for peace and freedom from the
horrors of war. The beautiful song,
"Onward Christian Soldiers" was then
sung, after which DR.. Dew delivered
fine and highly instructive discourse,
digging much into the antiquities of
the past regarding war, and finished
with strong plea for peace. Through
out his discourse he held the attention
of his hearers centered on his thoughts
as they were successively presented,
and some were deeply moved as he
spoke of the beautiful symbolism of
decorating the graves of loved ones
gone before. The hymn, No. 1911,
"God of Our Fathers, :" was then sung
by the choir, and then Major Hill,
commander of the Post, rose to make
such remarks as were proper from one
occupying his position. He spoke of
the aims and objects of the G. A. r..
and said their mission was not to keep
alive hostility, but rather for peace
and union. His address like that of
DR.. Dew was heard with attention.
Song, No. SO, Wonderful Peace, -
with benediction by DR.. Dew closed
the exercises. 1t was an interesting
service and we'll attended. One of the
qualifications of membership to the G.
A. r. is that its members belong tC
some religious denomination, and it il
a custom of the order to attend divine
service at some church on Sunday pre-
ceeding Decoration Day.
