Mosquitoes Life story.

First-While the inland or fresh- water
mosquito perpetustes its species by the
hibsrnation Of the winged insects, the salt
marsh or striped-legged mosquito prob
ably dogs this BY the alteration OF the
egg, which sinks into the soft earth of the
swamp and remains there until the warm
er waters OF the spring wash ii out and
bring about the propagation Of the insect,
writes DR.. A. II. Doty, health commits
sioner OF New York city.
second-About twenty four hours after
the egg Of the mosquito is deposited on
the surface of the water, there 10 released
from its under surface the larva, COM
monty known - the wriggler, which can
be easily seen moving about the water in
jerky way. curiously enough, while
the larva cannot live except in water, 1t il
entirely dependent ON cir for its existence,
and II carefully watched will BE- seen TO
come to the surface Of the water every
minute or 90 for air, which il secures BY
projecting its tail above the surface Of the
water. The tail contains the inlet of the
respiratory tract. In other words, mos
quito larve may be said to breathe with
their tail. The application Of petroleum
delicate opening in the tail when it il pro-
jected above the surface, and the larvE die
OF su3ocation and not by poison.
Third-Larve under usual conditions
exist for about ten or twenty days, then
pass into the pupai stage, which lasts from
one TO three days. During this period il
il probable that very little il any uourish-
ment il required. However, the larve ara
voracious eaters. AT the end Of the pupal
stage the pupa comes to the surface Of the
water, bursts the envelope, and the
winged insect appears.
Fourth-While mosquito larve grow in
size, the winged insects when they first
appear are fully grown, and do not, a. i,
10 generally believed, become larger.
Fifth-The life Of the mosquito can only
be approximately estimated, but II prob
ably does not exceed two weeks, except in
the alternating stage. Some, however,
may live for an indefinite period. have
kept them for two months with nothing
but sugar water to live upon.
Sixth-At the present time il 10 def
nitely known that at least two varieties oil
the island mosquito transmit disease
the stegomyia transmits yellow fever and
the anopheles transmits malaria. While
the anopheles 10 found in all sections oil
the world, the stegomyis il found only in
certain sections Of il known - the yellow
fever zone. In the United States the
propagation OF the stegomyia 10 confined
to the southern states, particularly thoss
along the Gulf, and does not appear in
this section OF the country. Therefors
The belief that certain varieties OF birdi
and fishes furnish means for the extermi-
nation OF the mosquito il without any
practical confirmation. The only proper
way Of discriminating the mosquito il t.
destroy its breeding places.

On these returns, . certificate Of election
will doubtless be issued to Mr.. Hod&kins.
II is understood, however, that the demo-
Gratis will contest the seat in the legisla-
ture, claiming defective ballots or errors
in the returns from LAmoine which would
give Mr.. Littieneld plurality Of four.
Thus there wiz probably Be two con-
tests from Hancock county before the next
legislature, o. it seems practically settled
that the Ellsworth seat in the House will
also be q matter Of contest.

SEIZURE AT BAR HARBOR.

Deputy SherifYs Discover Hide and
spring a Surprise.
Deputy Sherifis Richardson and Mad
den, OF Bar Harbor, gave Edward Comis-
key little surprise party Saturday night.
Comiskey has lease OF the lower part OF
the Hurley building on Main street. The
deputies have searched this place time and
again without much result, and although
they have kept careful watch were unable
to secure any evidence. The upper portion
OF the building is leased to other tenants,
and in one room at the corner of the house
fronting on an alley way there appeared to
be the probabilitie OF q "hide''.
Saturday night the deputies evsded the
vigiiant watchers and entered this room
by the window. They discovered . bottle
and glasses in . closet, and under the
floor they discovered the shide."
The deputies were anxious to catch the
owner with the goods, as, " lille they were
in position to conhscate the liquor, they
wished to secure personal evidence.
Accordingly they turned out the light and
waited. 1t was q long wait.
ADoos NAL p~se "Aner no"esefs AooestePe
were heard, and Comiskey came In the
window. He turned on the light, and when
he saw Deputy Richardson sitting on the
bed not six inches away from his hand,
he turned white.
He was placed under arrest, and the
wiskey, some eighteen and half quarts,
was seized. A hearing was set for Mon
day morning before Judge Clark, but
Comiskey failed to show up. II is not
likely he viii return to Bar Harbor soon.

(Rockland Courier Gasette.)
A correspondent signing herself SUM
mer Visitor" addresses the following inter-
esting communication to the Courier
0oestte:
awin you tell me Why New England
people figidly exclude every ray OF sun
TO maze them like vaults, damp and
mouldy; and why, o why, do they give one
three or four kinds Of cake with pie and
horrible, indigestible doughnuts for break
fast! II 10 not to be wondered 1t that the
most Of them have stomach trouble at
middle life. And why do they have 30
much aversion TO the letter z. the same ~
the common people Of England do to the
letter III have heard ever since l have
been here, from both the educated and un-
educated, about cookin', feelin', eeeiu'.
Not once have heard the letter z sounded.
1t seems strange that the teachers in their
schools do not teach the children to pro-
nounce their g. / have not heard OF its
being eliminated from the English Ian
guage.n
The Courier Gdsette agrees with its fair
correspondent that this slovenliness OF
speech is . thing to grieve upon, and we
confess to the exclusion OF air from some
houses, and the universality OF pie and
other indigestibles, notably tho insidious
doughnut. We suspect that such things
tend to shortness Of life, and we know that
they augment the sale Of indigestion tab
lets.
Upon them all will be brought to bear in
the process OF time the enlightenment Of
modern and progressive systems OF edu-
cation, and against that time we and our
correspondent and all good citizens must
wait with what patience we may command.
Each must work out his own salvation, and
in time the whole mass will be leavened.
The editor Of this paper sleeps with the
open window. II ever be drops Z z it is in
an upguarded moment and from force of
habit ingrained in youth, and he instantly,
with an apology, picks it up again. Pie,
occasionally, he confesses to, though never
for breakfast. . practice which Emerson
used to defend, and that in period when
the digestive tablet had not attained its
present high state Of development.
The toxic doughnut be is also the half
freed slave Of, both the slack twisted
variety and that of the rounded form with
q hole neatly inserted in the centre. Per-
ceiving some advancement here in his own
case, and believing generally in the upward
trend Of the race, he with the more conf
dence looks forward to the day when such
posers ~ the above cannot be asked BY
summer visitors because the reason for
them will have been naturally and forever
eliminated.
But fancy . Knox county family reunion
or picnic on the shore without dou&hnuta
in every fantastic form, and seven varieties
Of cake, equally indigestibIe!
