Larvae which Thrive Under Ordinary
Conditions, Die When Substance z
l. Spread Over water.

Mosquito larvae, or wrigglers,
as they are termed, require water
for their development. says the
Country Calendar. A heavy show
er leaves standing water, which,
when the air is full Of moisture.
evaporates slowly. Then, too, the
heat faYors the growth Of the mi
cro-o-rganisms which the larvae
feed; wrigglers found in the wa
ter As hours after their formation
will have plenty Of food, and adult
mosquitoes will appear six to
eight days after the eggs are laid.
Clear weather, with quick evap-
grafton, interferes with the devel-
opment Of the wFigglers, so that a
season with plenty Of rain, but
with sunshiny, dry weather ipter-
vening, is not "good mosquito
weather"
Inasmuch as a generation OF
mosquitoes appear to torment
man within ten days at the long
est, after the eggs are laia a. a
batch laid by a female mesquite
contains from 200 to 400 eggs; as
from each egg may issue a larvae
or wriggler which in six days will
be an adult mosquito on the wing
lit is to the destruction Of the
larvae that attention should be
directed. The larvae is a slender
organism, white or gray in color
comprising eight segments. The
last Of these parts is in the form
/ of a tube through which the wrig
| gler breathes. Although its hab
itat is the water, it must come t.
the surface to breathe, therefore
it's natural position is head down
and tail, or respiratory tube, up
Now, if oil is spread on the surfac,
of a pool inhabited by mosquito
larvae, the wrigglers are denied
access to the air which they mus
have. Therefore they drown JUS
as any other air-breathing ANNA
would drown under similar cir
cumstaneSs.

GREAT VITALITY OF TREES.
Story from Utah Tells Of Felled Giant
Which sprouted Young erOwths
from Its Sides.

An illustration Of the wonder
full vitality and reprOductiveness
Of the redwood is reported from
Ukiah as existing in the forests Of
Mendicino county. 1t consists
Of the trunk of a redwood tree
felled for the manufacture Of shin
giles, which, after lying on the
ground undisturbed for several
months, sprOuted a number Of
young trees whose roots had de-
velOped in its own body. This de.
VelOpment is enormously report
ed, however, as the iI4A case on
record where redwood completely
severed from the stump has pro
duced a new growth. Instances
have been frequently recorded Of
felled redwood trunks reproduc-
ing a growth Of young timber all
along the line Of the PROSTATE
log, and travellers through the
coast forests have frequently OBJ
served the phenomenon Of rows OF
well-develOped trees growing out
Of the bodies Of those that have
lain long enough on the earth to
perish and decay. Some years ago
3 newspaper correspondent re.
ported the strange phenomenon Of
new redwood growth on a bridge
built Of redwood logs across a
Humboldt county stream. The
sides Of this bridge consisted
Of two large redWoods, which had
been felled so that the ends rested
in the soil on each bank. All'along
the upper side Of each log a row OF
sturdy redwood saplings devel
oped shortly after the bridge haC
been finished, proving that lif,
was not extinguished in either, al
though totally severed from th,
original stumps.

ADVENTURE Of AN OCTOPUS
True story Of Eight-Armed Beast
Arms Of Monster Measure IS
Feet in Length.

Here is a true story Of an oc
topus. not the kind that has its
headquarters in New Jersey.
'.Two fishermen were plying their
vocation off Great Belle island,
Conception bay, off the Newfound-
land coast. Suddenly they discoy
cred at a short distance from
them a dark, shapeless mass,
floating on the surface Of the wa
ter. Concluding that it was
probably part Of the cargo of
some wrecked vessel, they aR
preached it, anticipating a valu-
able prize, and one Of them struck
the object with his bOathoOk.
Upon receiving the shock the dark
heap became suddenly animated,
and, spreading out, discovered a
head, with a pair Of large, prom
inent, staring eyes, which seemed
to CLEAN with intense ferOcity, the
creature at the same time expos
ing to view and opening it's parrot
like beak with an apparently hos.
tile and malignant purpose. The
men were petrifed with terrOrand
for a moment so fascinated by the
horrible sight that they we're pow
erless to make a move to defend
themselves.
Before they had time to recov.
er their presence Of mind the mon
ster, now but few feet from the
boat, suddenly shot out from
around its head several long,
heshy arms, graphing with them
for the boat, and seeking to en-
yelop it in their folds. Only the
two longest Of these arms reached
the craft, and, owing to their
great length, went completely
over and beyond it, Selling his
Ratchet, with a desperate effort

welldeliveFed blow, and the crea.
tuEssfnding itself worsted imme.
diately disappeared beneath the
waters, leaving in the boat its am
putated members as a trophy Of
the encounter.
"One of the arms was, unfor
tunately, destroyed before ITS
value was known, but the other
when brought to st. Johns and ex
amined by Rev. NJ. Harvey, was
I found to measure no less than Is
feet. The fisherman who acted as
surgeon declares there must have
been at least six feet more left at

/ HALLoWE'EM At THE COLLEGE

1he faculty and students at the
jamestown College gave one OF the
prettiest Holl 'en parties ever CIV
enin this city, Saturday night at the
college. Most Of the faculty and all
the students were disguised as ghosts
and witches and ithe rooms were a.
dorned with pumpkins, candles and
various other Hallowe zen decorations.
a ghost frolic was held in the attic
which was one Of the spookiest Of
places, and where spirits from the
other world were conversed with. In
ghost fashion partners were chosen
Tor supper, which consisted Of fried
cakes, pumpkin pie, coffee, apples and
candy. Pretty place cards OF Halo
we'en, design, and college colors were
souvenirs of the occasion. After sup
per fortune telling and games were
indulRed in until about 1880, when
the spooks departed.
