KILLING OFF THE MOSQUITO
Much Has Been Done With Crude
Petroleum, and the Fish Expert
nent Works Well.

According to those who have given
much time to the question of destroy.
Ing the mosquito, considerable prog
ress has been made in that direction
In the last few years. Many of the
breeding places have been wiped out
in New Jersey and Staten Island, but
unfortunately enough still remain to
give the insects plenty of chance to
multiply. Crude petroleum has been
used with good effect in places where
the drainage is bad, but this. Of
course, can bring only temporary
cessation of breeding.
The fish experiment is said to have
been used successfully in the Barba.
dos. All the swamps and ponds were
stocked some years ago with a spe-
cies c. fish that feed on the larvae
of the mosquito. These fishes multiply
rapidly and thrive In the West In
dian waters. In a short time there
were millions Of them In the swamps
and pponds, and it was observed that
mosquitoes were comparatively scarce
in the islands.
The success of this experiment led
to the stocking Of standing waters in
Jamaica year or two ago, and the
health authorities of that island re-
port considerable diminution of fe-
yer as result Of the destruction OF
the mosquito larvae.

GLASS CONFUSING TO THEM
5irds and Fish DO Not Easily Learn
That They Cannot Pene-
trate IT,

A correspondent recently reported
what he described as the curious
freak" Of a blaekbird fy & against a
parlor window many times at the
same spot.
Such an incident Is not uncommon
Birds have been known to fight for
hours at time, day after day. with
their own image reflected in a pane
Of glass. pecking and fluttertng against
the pane and quite exhausting them
selves IN their fury to demolish the
supposed rival. II Is another instance
of how the arts OF our civilization
corrupt and confuse the birds 1t is
the same with fishes.
Darwin tells a story Of a pike In an
aquarium separated by plate glass
from fish which were its proper food.
In trying to get at the fish the pike
would often dash with such violence
against the glass as to be completely
stunned. 1t did this for more than
three months before It learned eau
ton. Then when the glass was re-
moved the pike would not attack
those particular fishes, but would de-
YOUR others freshly introduced.
1t did not at all understand the sit.
uation, but associated the punishment
1T had received not with the glass,
but with particular kind OF fish.
Darwin's American monkeys proved
themselves more knowing" When
they cut themselves once with any
sharp tool they would not touch 1t
again or else would handle 1t with the
greatest caution.
Thus they gave evidence of the sim
pier forms of reason Of which mon
keys are no doubt capable. but birds
are evidently lacking in reasoning

VERY RICH NEVER GENEROUS
They May Give Away Their Money.
but Never Themselves, Says
@. X. Chesterton.

There are two other odd and rather
important things to be said about
them The first is this: That with
this aristocracy we do not have the
chance of lucky variety in types
which belongs to larger and looser
aristocracies The moderately rich
include all kinds of people--even
good people Even priests are some.
times saints; and even soldiers are
sometimes heroes. Some doctors have
really grown wealthy by curing their
patients and not by fattering them;
some brewers have been known to
sell beer. But among the very rich
you will never find really generous
man, even by accident. They may
give their money away, but they will
never give themselves away; they are
egotistic, secretive, dry as old bones
To be smart enough to get all that
money, you must be dull enough to
want it
Lastly. the most serious point about
them is this: That the new miser is
battered for his meanness and the
old one never was. 1t was never
called self-denial In the old miser that
he lived on beans. 1t is called self.
denial In the new millionaire II he
lives on beans man like Dancer
was never praise as a Christian
saint for going in rags. A man like
Rockefeller is praised as a sort of

graceful as the tattere and vermin of
the old miser were disgraceful to him.
To be in rags for charity would be the
condition of saint; to be in rags
for money was that of filthy old
fool. Precisely In the same way, to

RIlssful Ignorance.

Holden, the New York bird man,

Travelling Near Lake Chad.

There are native towns not remote
from the Lake Chad region Of interior
Africa where a white mans life isn't
worth nickel Lieut. Boyd Alexan-
der, the British explorer, was put to
death in one Of them recently.
Lieut.. Alexander and his Portuguese
collector. one Jose, had encamped un.
der tree in the outskirts of Tama.
Suddenly they were surrounded by a
band Of yelling savages. One, mere
stripping. seized a gun and shot the
lieutenant and the others fell upon
him with clubs. The Portuguese toss.
ed his finger rings to the natives, and
while they were interesting them
selves in them Jose leaeped to his sad

most cases no doubt the proper pre-

that It is like taking opiates; the

the rest habit does It may in fact re.
quire assidUous cultivation. and It
takes quite a man TO acquire this
habit IN a completely saturating and
permanent form SO that be is proof
against attacks Of the rest habit,

servant girl interposed. and speaking
from previous experience said: Let
It stand. because If the COW has been

set aside. and on looking at it some
three hours afterward the form OF a
snake was distinctly seen in the
cream which had collected on the sur

There was an exact model of the
reptile. IL. head. with the v mark.

from the mouth-perfect throughout

magnifying glass the scales of the
skin could be distinctly seen. All this
was seen by Mrs. Heale. her two
grown-up daughters, the servant, girl
and the boy groom.
On the following morning the figure
was less distinct A moth had got
into the cream and destroyed the con-

HOW TO STOP DRINKING.

1t was formerly customary for the
habitual drinker to take the pledge
regularly, sometimes once year, and
sometimes in every fit of remorse that
follow his debauches, and then
Break it.
But now it is gradually dawning on
the world that pledges do not stop
drunkenness. The nervous system of
the habitual drinker is diseased and
he must have treatment that will cure
this condition. If Orrine does not
benefit after a trial, we refund your
money. Can be given secretly.
