MOSQUITO DETERMINATION

Mosquitoes can be-indeed, are be-
ing-eliminated from human exper-
fence in the United States. The
Jersey mosquito" is not the exclus-
i've property of that commonwealth
alone; it breeds in the saltwater marsh
es all the way from Massachusetts to
Florida, wherever fresh-water stream
dilutes the ocean saltiness sufficiently
to attract the mosquito. Mosquitoes
of the saltwater groug are not
disease-breeding, however, though
more intensely annoying than others.
The Anopheles, which spreads malar
ia, and the Stegomyia, which conveys
yellow fever, propagate in fresh
water, in stagnant pools, even in
standing water in houses. The great
er number Of species seldom travel
more than a few hundred yards from
their breeding-places and, away from
salt marshes, most places are locally
infested these facts place the prob
lem of mosquito determination square
| ly before the individual householders
and the community Immediately in
terested.
Most notwithstanding those Of
the anopheles tribe, in which the fe-
male of the species is far more deadly
than the male-are active only after
dark. To rid house of them, one
must fumigate with pyrethrum pow
der or some other substance that will
make a dense smoke, taking care
that no mosquitoes are allowed to
Turk in remote places to which the
fumes have not access. A pound of
pyrethrum is necessary for every
thousand cubic feet of interior space.
Screens, unless absolutely tight, with
mesh of twenty to the inch, are use
less against mosquitoes.
The only means of permanently
preventing mosquitoes is the destruc-
ton of their breeding-places, which

United States Senator Robert Mar

the most prominent figures in national
politics today, was born June IA, 1855,

The part he will play in the delibera-

vention which opens in Chicago next
week, makes him a man of the hour.
Senator La Toilette is a lawyer by
State University of Wisconsin. He
was admitted to the bar in 1880 and
the same year was elected district
attorney of Dane county, serving two
terms. In 1884 he was elected a mem.

was reelected to the Fiftieth and Fiji
ty-first sessions. He was defeated for
reelection in 1890, but was sent as a
delegate from the second COMPRESSION.

convention at st. Louis in 1896 and
elected by the Wisconsin State con
vention (Republican) as delegate at
large. to the Republican national con
vention held at Chicago in 1904. Mr.
La Toilette was elected governor OF
Wisconsin in 1900, reelected in 1902
and again in November, 1904. He
was elected to the United States Sen
ate in 1905, to succeed Hon. Joseph
Very Quarles, and took his seat in

others admit they took several bottles
