Culex perturbans, ETC.
1t is often said taht mosquitoes viii
not rise above the second story of
an ordinary house. That is quite
concerned. But once outdoors, they
will make their way upward from
floor to floor, ascending even to the
tops of the tallest buildings. IN
such buildings, however, they are
likely to seek a quicker means of
conveyance, taking the elevator
Roof cutters frequently become clog
ged. forming pools of water. Mos
quitoes flying out of the windows of
the top stories, breed in these pools
Hence many a plague of them that
puzzles the inmates OF the apartment
houses. And when apartments are un-
occupied in warm weather, mosquitoes
are apt to enter them through the
transoms and lay their eggs in the
bathroom tanks. Under such circum-
stances, the water is sometimes not
disturbed for many weeks, and they
breed at fabulous rate.
The MaIarial Mosquito.
The malaria mosquito may be dis
tinguished by the fact that in biting
it carries its tail cooked up in the
air. Furthermore. it's voice is a deep
contralto-quite different from the
soprano of Culex pipiens. the com
mon house mosquito. Unfortunately,
some malaria germs (Anopheles being
always the carrier) are exceedingly
malignant, and the disease caused by
them, when it does not kill is hard to
eradicate from the system. OF sue
a character is the malaria that is so
fatal to white peopls in narts of -Afri-
ca; likewise the socalled Chagres fe-
yer. rife on the Panama isthmus be-
fore we cleaned it up, and the Ro-
man fever, which carries off its VIC
tim in few days after they are III
fected by mosquito bites
The mistaken notion that mosqui-
toes breed in wet grass comes from
the fact that they commonly find
shelter in grass. and. when the wind
dies down, arise therefrom in clouds.
At Camp Stotsenberg, P. l., it was
invariably noticed that the insects
increased greatly in numbers when
ever the grass at the post was al
lowed TO grow, and that a coincident
increase occurred in the number of
malaria patients admitted to the hos
pital On the other hand, cutting
of the grass was followed by a de-
crease in the number of mosquitoes
and likewise in the cases of malaria

Worse In the Arctic Regions.
Mosquitoes are nowhere worse in
summer than in the arctic regions
In far northern Alaska they are a
frightful pest. This might seem sur
prising were it not for the known fact
that these insects hibernate in win

the better it seems ito suit them.
Great numbers Of mosquitoes spend
the winter in the cellars of our houses.
where they always seek the coolest
corners.
The mosquito larvae, or "wrigglers,"
are the best possible food for fishes
In Japan they are bred in rainbarrels
for feeding the goldfish which are
reared in ponds for market. For the
same purpose, the New York aGuari
UNI, from mid-Apri1 to mid-Novem-
Der, collects half a million "wigglerS"

edges of marshes. A shallow scoop

Last year the aquarium set up a
MOSQUITO exhibit for the purpose, of
popular education. 1t showed the evo-
luton of the insect from the egg to
the wriggler, and from the wriggler
to the winged nuisance. incidentally
1t illustrated the simple methods of
preventing mosquitoes from breeding
by doing away with stagnant pools
and keeping water barrels covered,
so that eggs may not be deposited in
them.
Almost any book or essay on mosqui-
toes will be found to state that the fe-
male always lays her eggs in a boat
shaped mass" on the surface of still
water This is undeniably true of
some Species but not OF all. nor yet
of most kinds of mosquitoes. More
commonly the eggs sink to the bottom
of the water, and there are Matched,
the wriggler afterwards rising to the
surface and, when ready, disenga ging
itself from the pupa-ca and flying
away. There are some species Of mos
quitoes that breed in the mud of
swamps, and others that lay their eggs
in pools made by melting ice.
Cid Idea Exploded.
Another old idea. some time ago ex-
ploded, is that the mosquito bites only
once, and then dies. As a matter of
fact, she bites many times, If oppor-
turity offers, and under favorable
circumstances deposits several sets of
eggs during her lifetime She has
to have blood to furnish albuminous
material for her eggs. Obviously, If
she did not bite more than once, she
would not carry malaria or yellow

WEATHER INDICATORS.
A Novel Microscope and Home
Made Barometer.

The chameleon barometer is certain
ly curiosity which has puzzled a good
many people but its construction is
really very simple. The animal changes
color according to the weather, being
pink In damp conditions. purple in a
variable state, and bright blue when
the air is dry. A cardboard mount is
prepared. and this may be lettered In
any manner desired. The chameleon l.
sketched out on a blotting paper, and
then immersed i'm a solution of chloride
of cobalt. TO wiich are added chloride
of sodium and gum arabic. Any chem
list will make up the mixture.
A more beautiful chemical hydro
scope is formed OF flower made OF

blossoms show many varying shades

from bright pink to sky blue. with the
changes in the degree of dampness in
the atmosphere.
A somewhat curious storm glass was
introduced by the late Admiral Fitz-
roy. This is formed a glass tube,
stoppered. but with small hole
the cork. Into the tube has
been poured mixture of camphor, nj
tire. sal ammoniac, alcohol, and water.
The changes in the state of the atmos-
phere are indicated by the production
of feathery growths. these extending
upwards at the approach Of a storm
and retreating to the lower part of
the tube in quiet weather.
A much more simple, but quite an
effective contrivance, is the water
barometer. This is formed of a glass
jam-par, an empty oil-hask, and plain
water. The jar is filled to half its ca
paclty with water. and the inverted
flask is placed in the jar. The rising
and falling of the water in the neck
lof the flask indicates the increase and
decrease Of the pressure of the atmos-
phere. OF course, the application is
the same as that of an ordinary baro-
meter.
Two very singular weather devices
are those i'm which a frog and a leech
are employed. In the former case a
glass jam jar is filled 20 about two
thirds Of its capacity with water A
little wooden ladder is constructed, and
this is placed inside the jar. A FROG
will live quite happily in in such po-
sition for few weeks, and it will be
found that in fine weather the creature
will climb out up to the top of the lad
der. In stormy weather however, the
frog prefers TO remain under the wa
