MALARIA AND MOSQUITOES.
piserdAr Reported 70 Appear Some
timS Whore Those Baneful In
ssste Cannot Be Found.

Since the now generally accept
ed theory that the germs Qf ma
laria are conveyed TO human sub
jects by mosquitoes OF partic-
plar genus was first advanced
there hays been occasional re-
ports Of the appearance OF the dis
order where no representative vi
that roup of insects could be
found, In some instances, per
haps, the victims may have caught
the disease while away from
home, Still other explanations
may be suggested without upset
ting the theory just mentioned.
IT appears, however, that once in
awhile the mystery is accounted
for by imperfect observations.
The mischief.maker is there, bur
isnotdetected. An interesting and
significant confession IL made in
the Journal Of Hygiene by DIR.
John Chopper.
he says that In Q previous arti-
Gle BIZ stated that, though he had
resided in Acre, Palestine, he had
never been able to hpd single
Anopheles. Recently, however,
his successor, DR.. GOULD, having
under his care two native boys
with malaria, found Anopheles in
their room. 1t is uncertain where
they we're bred, but the previous
winter was exceptionally wet, the
water coming to within half a mile
OF the town, where malaria Ia com,
paTatiyely rare, though common
enough . mile away. At Shefa
APR, three hours from Acre, sit
Rated on low chalk hills which rise
well above the plaip ana are re-
mote from running water, two
English women had malaria, and
thongh no adult Anopheles were
found the larvae were discovered
in an open cistern,
At Nablous also, DR.. Gould
found 4Anopheles larvae in a shall
low oistern which supplied water
10 the parsonage, and last year,
without special apparatus, Crop
per found nine Anopheles laryaa
among a great many Culex and
stsgomyia fasciata larvae; and
more recently two Anopheles
larvae hays hsen found with many
Cpley larvae at the new hospital.
Though, considering the great
number Of the patients, malaria is
very infrequent, it is, neverthe.
less, quits we'll kpown in the town,
and among the English women at
the mission, 2 few yards away, a
few cages have occurred.
W'thi9 four hours of Nablous is
the Jordan valley, notorious for
ifs nphealthfNlness, and within
pips koAgs ~ Beisan, than which
few places are more unhealthy,
From both of these localities pa.
tients and visitors come to Ma
bleps, and thus the stock of mala,
rial parasites, which otherwise
wanld become exhausted, is re.
Bewed, SO Il 10 probably with

A Leucnd of Mount Orni.

Mount Omi on the border between swestera China and Tibet. has the long sest staircase in the world. On top of Stha mountain there stands Buddhist Temple, around which gather some of
 the holcst traditions of that religion
 and which is made Mecca to the
 ChiHese. To facilitate the ascent of its slippery sides some 10000 steps
 have been cut in the mountain, form
 ing q single flight. up which the pill
 grim tolls. Because of it's inacccssi- bility few Europeans have ever visited 4the spot. but a number of travellers
 have ascended the stairway and are
 positive that it is no legendary myth.
 There is legend that in earlier times
 the pilgrim was forced to ascend the
 mountain without artificial aids until
 the monks conceived the plan of re- .quiring every pilgrim who would gain 4especial benefit of his journey to cut a single step

Why He Wanted Referencec.

At credit mcn's dinner one of the veterans told this story: "IH the recon struction days man from q MlsSis- kippi valley town came tU our western house one day. We had sold him he fore ill small way, and he always paid. He had enlarged his business he told Us, and wanted d bigger line than usual, but before making his se- lections he wanted Us to give him ref erences. We expressed surprise at such an unheard of demand, but he said, My two brothcrs-in-laW have gone in with me, and they're very p1r- ticular as to whom they do business with. So We sent him 10 our banks, and he came back, said we were all right, picked out big line of goods, and in sixty days he busted We couldn't collect a dollar Two wears later 1 met the man ill Cincinnati and told him we had become reconciled to our loss. But will you please tell me, asked, why did you want references as to our credit?' Well, you see, he answered, I wanted tC know if you eould stand it. '"-EXchange.

A STUDY IN FIGURES.
Calculations Necessary to Produce the
 Nautical Almanac.

Calculations Necessary to Produce the
 Nautical Almanac.
 It may safely be said that no one outside the publishing office has read the entire Nautical Almanac from be- ginning to end, but each figure of the printed almanac is in the office ex- amined twice and read three times.
 The total number of figures exceeds a million; but, great as that number is. it is trif1ing compared with the num- Der of figures employed in the calcula- tions, as the almanac figures repre- sent ''bare" results only. The moon, for instance requires for it's calcu lation more than Il million and a half of figures, and similarly with other branches of the work, such as the sun. the planets, etc. Contrary to the general opinion. practically every fig ure in the book is fresh from year to year
 The tables from which nearly all the work is calculated have been original ly constructed from the labOrs of the astronomical observer and to d large extent from the observations of tho sun. moon and planets made at the Royal observatory, Greenwich. Tele scopes and other astronomical appli- ances are conspicuously absent as the work of the staff is purely mathemati cal and not obServational.-Lon Z Telegraph.

Hard For the Eskimos.

One of the difficulties of the Mora vian missionaries ill Labrador is to make the Old Testament. with it's wealth of pastoral detail, ineligible 10 the Eslimos, not one of whom has ever seen q horse. "Sheep auQ cattle, says Hesketh Pritchard in Hunting Camps In Wood and Wilderness,
 they cannot realize or conceive of for there are no domesticated animals save dogs in that portion of the benin sula. They comprehend the story Of Esau, the hunter, and that of Samson and the lion, which animal can be translated as polar bear but of Abra ham in the land of Mesopotamia they can form no picture. The nearest ap- proach to these ideas is drawn from the harvest of the sea, seals and fish taking :ie place of focks and herds.

No L avs Delay Here,

In Perak, in the Malay peninsula lawyers find no business, for modi- fled form of trial by ordeal decides all disputes. Ill place of the legal practi- tioner the pleader is native boy who is assigned to one or the other of the sides and is given bamboo tube in which is sealed the pleading Of the person or party whom he represents. When all is ready two stakes are driven into the bed of a stream, and by aid of a bamboo pole the heads of the two boys are submerged at the same time. By grasping the stakes they are enabled to remain under va ter for quite awhile after their natural inclination would bring them to the surface, but at last one of them gives in and, releasing his hold of the stake. comes to the air He is immediately seized. and the tube he holds is cast aside. The other lad is led ashore. his tube opened, and the document con tained therein stands as the decision in the case.

MistIetoe a Menace.

Few people who know mistletoe only as desirable feature of Christmas decorations understand that the plant is d parasite dangerous to the life of trees in the regions in which it grows. It is only d question of time after mistletoe once begins to grow upon q tree before the tree itself will be killed. The parasite saps the life of the infected branches. Fortunately it is of slow growth, taking years to de velop to large proportions, but when neglected it invariably ruins all trees it reaches. The only method of eXter- imitation is the cutting down of dis eased trees-EXchange

instrument by Which the Presence of
 Electricity Is Detected.
 The electroscope is an instrument for the detection of electricity. It depends for it's action on the principle that bodies charged with like electricity re- pei, while those charged with unlike electricity attract each other. The ordi. nary pith ball suspended on a silk thread is the simplest form of the in strument.
 The most common type of electro. scope is that devised by Bennett in 17ST and known as the gold leaf cleo troscope. It consists of two strips of gold leaf or thin aluminium foil sus- pended from the lower extremity of a conductor within glass bottle or jar. The upper end of the conductor ter inmates in a ball or plate in case the instrument is to be used as q condens- ing electroscope. If body charged with positive electricity is brought near the knob of the electroscope the nega- tive electricity will be attracted to the knob and the positive repelled to the leaves. which dyerge. If now the fin ger is touched to the knob the positive electricity is drawn off and the leaves collapse, while the negative electricity is held bound. Removing the charged body, the leaves will diyerge again, charged with negative electricity. In this case the instrument can be used to determine the nature of a charge of body brought near it, as with a posi- tive charge the leaves will collapse and with a negative charge spread farther apart-EXchangp
