Fisheries, would create an exhibit both
interesting and educational Such an es-
adjustment would be not only an ex-
perimental hatchery for food fishes. Il
would produce also the top-minnow. a
species Of fish that consumes the larvae
of the mosquito and thus is a natural
enemy OF a poisonous pest. This fish is
prolific. breeding two generations in one
season. II IS only one 70 two inches In
length and is endowed with voracious
appetite for the larvae Of mosquitoes.
There is ample scientific authority for
this statement in the testimony presented
by William p. Seal, in a paper presented
before the Fourth International Fishery
Congress at Washington. September %
10 26. 1908. This report stated Mr. Seal
had advocated for years the use OF the
top-minnow as a destroyer OF the mos
quito. This fish IS found along the coast
all the way from Delaware 10 Florida.
II is Of two species and takes its name
from its habit Of feeding at the surface.
II IS found in great numbers in the
South. In the shallow margins Of lakes.
ponds. and streams. in tide water regions,
wherever there is marginal grass or
aquatic vegetation to afford shelter. This
fish has been found by experiment 10
thrive IN New Jersey. and. indeed, It has
been contended by Mr.. Henry w. Fowler,
author Of Fishes Of New jersey that
il is indigenous to the State
prof. John B. Smith, the distinguished
state entomologist and leading authority
to the fact that the problem of COM
batting the disease-producing mosquito
falls under two heads. First the State
has a duty TO perform in Graduating
mosquitoes from the public waters and
marshes that are not under any local
Jurisdiction, and second, the municipall-
ties towns. and similar communities have
no less important task and duty in rid
ding themselves OF mosquitoes that are
permitted to live and breed within the
limit Of their several communities
THE public is only beginning TO appre-
ciate the efficiency OF fish as a mosquito
destroying agency But the public Is
learning rapidly the Importance Of pro-
lection against mosquitoes. This is TO be
accomplished. not alone by making houses
mosqulto-proof. but by exterminating the
mosquitoes themselves. There Is a prece-
dent 20 the national interest in this sub
jet in the action Of the United States
Bureau Of Fisheries in sending fishes all
the way to Hawaii for the destruction Of
mosquitoes.
Il advocate therefore, with the re-en-
forcement Of a great deal Of scientific au-
thority. as well as with the zeal of local
pride and Of health-protecting purposes.
the establishment Of an aquarium at At
lantic City for the enlightenment, as well
as for the entertainment. Of thousands Of
visitors, and as a station for the propa-
cation and distribution Of these natural
enemies OF the mosquito pest"

DIR. BEDLOE TELLS ATLANTIC CITY
HOW TO EXTERMINATE MOSQUITO

Atlantic City y. J.. May S.-Dr. Ed
ward BedIoe. Of Washington and Atlantic
City. yesterday made an address to
the mayor. Councilmen Busby, Bacha-
rach. and Kessler, and a committee Of
citizens headed by Commodore KuehnIe.
on the mosquito problem. He said:
1T IS my purpose to invite the attention
Of his honor the mayor and OF your hon
orable body 20 the Importance Of estab-
fishing. through the cooperation OF the
national government. fish cultural stations
In New Jersey, one Of these to be located
upon the seacOast al a point TO be selected
by the Secretary Of Commerce and Labor:
and, In addition. TO emphasize the desira-
bility Of cultivating FISH that destroy
mosquitoes. thus adding 10 both the at
tractiveness and the health-promoting
qualities Of Atlantic City as a resort OF
increasing mUlutudes OF people. during
every season OF the year. and coming
from all regions OF this continent. My
purpose IS 20 eliminate one source OF dis
ease through the development Of a natu-
raj and bencncent agency.
1t seems appropriate to state that my
keen interest in the welfare and pros-
perity Of Atlantic City is a natural Sc
quence Of the fact that my entire life
has been a witness 10 its marvellous
growth In population, both permanent
and transient. and the fact that there
is an increasing tendency among those
who have once enjoyed its salubrious de-
lights TO make periodical visits a sys-
tematic method Of prolonging life and in
CreasinE that happiness which cannot
exist without health. My personal rec0l-
lection goes back TO the early davs OF
AbsecOn beach. before any railway had
reached this island. and prior to the in
corporation Of Atlantic City IN 1854. out
Of long experience and observation. there
fore, has sprung my conviction: first.
that the bay, the Thoroughfare the
creeks. and all the adjacent waterways
can be made vastly more productive IN
their supply Of food-fsh: and further
more. that the important problem OF the
mosquito. a distributor OF disease NAV
be solved practically and concluslvely.
These are the beneficent purposes OF
the measure introduced in Congress by
our Representative Gardner. Of New
Jersey. providing for an appropriation
OF $4,000 FOR the creation Of fish-culture
stations. 1t may be assumed that If this
legislation is enacted, the station to be
established on the seacoast VIII be To-
Gated at Atlantic City. This will con-
stitute a new element Of coast defense:
for surely the strength Of a nation lies
primarily in the health OF its people.

IN position and power. but these fail.
