~ HE newest idea for mosquito

/" HE newest idea for mosquito

II 1t has been put into opera

ment AGRICULTURAL station six miles

fever. or. any other disease, from one
person to another.
In San Diego, Texas, there used to
be a continued plague OF mosquitoes
bred in cisterns But this trouble has
been done away with by introducing
minnows into the eisterns- The min
nows are fed on flies. caught in in
genious traps. which capture as much
as quart of flies per day Thus the
dwellings are rid of flies, and the lat
ter keep alive the fishes, which do
away with the mosquitoes.
Dftching and Draining Best.
Petroleum prevents mosquitoes from
breeding in water to which IL is ap-
piled But it is useful in this way
only for a short time. The oil evapor-
ates, or is carried off by rain, and an
other dose must soon be given The
permanent remedy is ditching and
draining-a plan which is now being
carried out on an extensive scale IN
New Jersey and other parts of this
country. Where ponds are concerned,
nothing is so effective as small fishes.
A few minnows viii put an absolute
stop to the production OF mosquitoes
by any such water space.
The beak of a mosquito is nearly
half as long as her body, and contains
a remarkable set OF surgical instru-
ments. To begin with, there is lance
far finer and sharper than the small
est cambria needle. supplemented by
four tiny saws. The lance serves as a
stabber; the saws are for cutting the
skin and the capillary vessels beneath
In addition to the stabber and saws.
the equipment includes a long grooved
tool. down which flow oily drops OF
poisonous fluid, to dilute the blood and
make it pour out more rapidly. This
fluid is supplied from two venom
glands At the back Of the insects
head is a bulb, by which the blood is
pumped into the throat and stomach
If one waits until the mosquito has
got through biting, practically all OF
the kemon will be sucked out and only
a red puncture will remain But slap
it. and the poison viii stay, TO cause
itching, aggravated perhaps by the
saws broken off in the wound

A YEAR ago Halley's comet was
- the great center of interest and
Z - night after night in the early
days in June, it was watched with
pleasure by hundreds of thousands of
people And now, after one-seventy-
fifth Of its journey about the sun hass
been run, the comet is still visible. not
to the naked eye, but only in the most
powerful telescopes that the world pos
sesses
When Wolf picked it up on his pho
tographic plate on September IL, 1909.
the comet was still 249 days before
perihelion passage The comet was
then 31S million miles from the sun
and SS1 millions miles from the earth.
Wolf estimated the comet to be of the
sixteenth magnitude.
On March 10. 1911, Mr.. Slocum at the
Yerkes observatory with the two foot
reflector obtained a photograph of the
comet, showing 1t 10 be little more than
a blur Of light. The magnitude of the
comet was estimated to be the four
tenth, and it was then 42S million
miles from the sun, and 344 million
from the earth In spite of the fact
that on this date the comet was 10
million miles farther from the sun,
and Ii million miles farther from the
eartn Inan on the date OF discovery,
the comet was two magnitudes bright
er, which means the comet was only
six times as bright. Evidently the
comet is again behaving strangely, and
it is giving a last warning before it
goes out Of sight forever to the pres
ent generation of astronomers. that we
do not know all about the peculiarities
Of comets. A year ago the comet did
not appear as brilliant as it might have
been-and every one was disappointed
now it is brighter than might have
been expected Professor Barnard
with the 40 inch Yerkes telescope, got
good observations Of Halley's comet
on April 16, % and Is, and again on
May 2 He reports that the comet was
then rapidly dwindling in brightness.

years hence. The comet is now found
in the constellation of Sextans, and it
is getting nearly in line with the sun,
with which it will be in conjunction in
August.
The Planet Venus.
The bright evening star in the west
is known to one and all the 'earths
twin sister" Venus. The planet contin
ues to increase in brightness through
out the month of June, gaining fully
80 percent in the 80 days. Early in
August, when most brilliant, Venus
will be double as bright as it is on
June L. The reason for the rapid in
crease in brightness in June will be
readily understood by referring to
diagram as above, giving the position
of the orbits of earth and Venus. The
distance from the sun to the earth is
$4,000. 900 miles, from sun to Venus is
$1,000, 900 miles. The orbits of earth
and Venus are not very eccentric, and
they may be represented as circles. The
ratio of the above distances are such
that the distance from the earth to the
sun being taken as the unit, the dis
lance from sun to Venus is OH. or.
roughly, three-quarters. Hence. draw
two consecutive circles with their radii
in the ratio of three and four. and
we will represent tolerably well the
paths of the two planets.
The earth goes about the sun in a
year lof 365 IA days. the year for We
nus is shorter, taking 225 days. If sun,
Venus and earth were in a straight
line, how long would it take them to
be in the same relative positions again?
This is simple question in arithmetic
similar TO finding the time 1t would
take one hand of watch to overtaks
the other. With Venus the time is
584 days. and this is known as the sy-
nodic period.
The motion of Venus with respect to
the earth and sun may be represented
very well If we regard the earth sta
tionary at E, in the above diagram. and
imagine Venus to make one revolution
in her orbit in 5S4 days. Starting with
