months. which had never been sus-
pected of mosquitoes.
IF one wishes to study closely the
intimate habits of mosquitoes while
going through their various transfer
nations their eggs may be obtained
with ease by exposing a bucket of
water out Of doors in a suitable To-
calftv on almost any summer night.
The egg masses should be transferred
from the bucket to a breeding jar-fOr
which nothing is better than one of
the large cylindrical glass jars known
as battery Jars such a receptacle
should be big enough to hold about a
gallon of water. A layer of sand an
inch or two deep is placed in the bot
tom. and a quart or more of water
poured over it. After the sand has
settled and the water has cleared a
bit of any small aquatic plant may be
inserted to advantage, and over the
top of the jar piece of cheeseclOth
should be strapped with a rubber band.
Thus provided for, the mosquitoes will
soon hatch out and may be observed
at leisure.
Mr.. Mosquitoes Whiskers.
CAS- far back as 1874 the fact was
established that the Whtskers-Or, TO
speak with more strict accuracy, the
antennaI hairs-Of the male mosquito
are DREAMS of hearing. Experiments
with a tuning fork showed that some
of the hairs are specially tuned to re-
spOnd to vibrations numbering 512 per
second while other hairs Vibrate to
other notes. These auditory hairs vi
brate when the song of the female
comes at right angles to them. If the
song affects one antenna more than
another the male turns his head un-
til both attennae are affected, and is
thus able to determine the exact direc-
ton of the female, to which he then
flies. 1t appears that the male can
thus guide himself to within five de-
grees of the exact direction of the
female.
Not long ago an electrical engineer
Of Jackson Miss, wrote me that while
engaged in some experiments in har-
monte biography, in which a musical
note of a certain pitch was produced
by electrical means, he was amazed
to find that when the note was raised

second. all mosquitoes. not only in the
room but from outside, would fly to-
ward the apparatus, striking it with
astonishing force Having covered part
of the apparatus with sticky flypaper.
he succeeded. after sounding the note
for a few seconds. in capturing all the
mosquitoes in the vicinity Then he
devised a machine to elecurocute mos
quitOes. causing them to precipitate
themselves when the note was sounded
against a wire SCREEN through which

May there never arrive day when
judges Of the courts shall become DIS
possessed OF the praiseworthy desire
to keep their ermine unblemished and
above suspicion, Notwithstanding it
behooyes the judiciary to know many
things well, and nearly all things
somewhat, it Is quite conceivable that
there may be phases Of worldly know
ledge which reflect anything but great
credit upon their possessors; and with
which, therefore; the prudent Judge,
jealous Of his high position and of his
personal reputation; may well avoid
all appearances ofiintinacy. These re-
fections are suggested by Judge
Powell, OF the Georgia Court OF APP
peals, in rendering decision: I'VE
cannot say as matter Of law that 1t
was not natural, prudent and reason.
ably to be anticipated, that one who
had casually stumbled, fallen or other
wise come into contact with a bar
counter, should lean against catch
hold OF It, or pull up by 1t. We have
heard that one reason why bar coun-
tiers are made in, the style they are
said to be made is that customers in
places where such customers are
found, frequently feel desire to lean
against. catch hold Of or pull up by
something. and the bar counter is SO
made as to accommodate them in
these particulars, as well as in
others"
