A GREAT MEDICAL TRIUMPH
ollcInr Of tho ProboscIs Of Mosquito
10 Oct at MalarIal Germs
In italy.

In the history Of research are
many romances. OF the discovery,
that malaria was caused by mos
quitoes it is related how Doctor Low
and Doctor Sombo lived in the ma
larious Roman Campagna without
quinine. They retired at sunset to-
mosquito-proof hut, with double
doors and windows Of wire net and
they did not leave until sunrise. The
fact that they remained immune
while the attendants sleeping out
side contracted malaria confirmed
the belief that the mosquitoes we're
responsible. But how did they carry
the disease? At first it was thought
to be by water.
To settle the question live mos
quitoes which had bitten infected
peasants, were obtained, and two
members of the school submitted to-
be bitten by them. They both went
down with malaria Again, how did
the mosquitoes transmit the germ?
BY cutting sections Of the proboscis'
the malarious parasite was found. It
breaks through the skin Of the pro-
boscis and is transmitted at the time
Of the sting. From the first conjec--
ture to the final proof was series Of
careful experiments, ending with
slicing Of the mosquitoes proboscis.
Now this is finer than fine hair. It
is necessary to stop to think. For
it is easier to imagine the triumph
Of the proof than the delicate opera
ton that produced it.

RULES FOR LONGEVITY.

Josiah Zeitlin, said to have been
Brooklyn's oldest citizen, is dead at
the age Of 106 years. He was a
child in Moscow when the Russians
burned that city at the advance Of
Napoleon, and when the United
States and England were engaged in
their second conflict.
He was born in 1904 in LODI,
Poland. He retired from business
in Moscow 80 years ago and came to
this country soon after. He leaves
three sons, the oldest of whom is
seventy-six years old, and Is grand
children.
His rules for longevity were:
"Don't worry. Never be in hur-
ny. Don't eat what you call quick
lunches. Take but little meat, es-
pecially in early life. Sleep eight
hours day. Never fool with doc
tors, and don't 60 into a drug store

JUST ASK THE BARBER.

something far more intimate also.
The barber is the confdant and
scandal monger Of no mean stand

find out that nine out Of every ten
men will tell all his family and
other troubles to the one who is

strenuous attentions Of some one
who is trying to land him in the web
Of matrimony.
Any barber has in the back Of his
Uranium enough Of scandal gathered
from the "chair" conversations Of
his customers to fill several books.
Were the barber, as class, man
given to silence, it would not be so
bad, but he isn't and his example in
garrulity seems to be contagious.
