KILLING OFF THE MOSQUITO
Much Has Been Done With Crude Petroleum. and the Fish Experi-
 r1ent Works We'll.

According to those who have given much time to the question of destroy ing the mosquito. considerable prog Tess has been made in that direction sn the last few years Many of the breeding places have been wiped out. in New Jersey and Staten Island. but unfortunately enough still remain to give the insects plenty of chance to multiply. Crude petroleum has been used with good effect in places where the drainage is bad, but this, of course. can bring only a temporary cessation of breeding.
 The fish experiment. Is said to have been used successfully in the Barba- dos All the swamps and ponds were. stocked some years ago with a spe cies of fish that feed on the larvae. of the mosquito. These fishes multiply rapidly and thrive in the West In dian waters. In a short time there were millions of them in the sWamps; and pponds. and il was observed that mosquitos were comparatively scarce in the islands.
 The success of this experiment led 70 the stocking of standing waters in Jamaica a year or two ago, and the health authorities of that island re- port a considerable diminution of fe yer as result of the destruction of the mosquito larvae.

Deserved Reward Came Late.

Writing of the celebration of the one hundredth birthday of Ambroise Thomas. which took place a short time ago, Karl Delbitz says that the career of the great French composer furnishes another instance of achieve ment late in life. He was only seven teen years old when he had mastered the piano and the violin and was sent by his father, also a musician, from his home, in Metz, to the Paris Con servatory, where he won many prizes for his extraordinary work. But he was fifty-hve years old before his 'Mignon' was performed and at once placed him in the same class with the great performers" adds DelbitZ. When 1t had been performed in Paris 1000 times the president of the re- public invested Thomas with the grand cordon or the Legion of Honor. He lived to he eighty-five years old and enjoyed three decades of recognition"

 He says that credit is based on con- fidence. which rests on belief in the stability of our financial institutions. In the loss of that confidence was the panic of 1907 brought about. the dis astrous consequences of which can never be measured and from which the country has not yet fully recov- cred.

ORIGIN OF THE THREE BALLS
Familiar Sign of the Pswnbroker Really Is the Arms of the Me
 oci Family.

Few persons seeing the signs of ihe vast wealth Of our avuncular rel atives in most thoroughfares in Lon don pause to consider their origin. or course it is the balls of gold to which we refer Not only may they be taken as indications of wealth, but as a sign that pledges are received. But the balls do not indicate what they really are. They are the arms of the MediCi family Whoever has visited Florence will recall the three balls alternated with the red lilies. But how comes it that the decorations Of the Tuscan palace have found their way 70 London?
 The explanation is not difficult if we give the subject moments thought. The first gold changers to settle in London. as in Paris, were the F7orentines or LombaTds. They chose Lombard street as the place where they could carry on their bnsi- ness. These early settlers are per retuated today by the bankers. In tne cdTlE udNS tue lhHdui'@H'S Ioui'SN among their number some of the Me dici family and 10 inspire confidence they exhibited their family arms. to which they had a perfect right.
