Always Active in Tropics.

In tropical and substropical regions
mosquitoes remain active throughout the
entire year. In temperate climates they
are active during the warm season only,
and when cold weather arrives many die,
and others hibernate in the adult, larvai
or egg form in cellars of houses In barns
under stone culverts and bridges. In cold
garrets and other out-of-the-way places.
The question as to the distance mos
cording to Howard they do not migrate
much more than a mile. AS in the case
with all insects, they may act as porters
of disease in two ways, l. e., they may
carry disease germs or pathogenic micro
organisms upon their bodies mechanically
or the micro-organisms may pass through
definite stages of their life cycle in the
body of the insect, which is then known
as an intermediate host. When the mos
quito bites, the suffering individual often
scratches the point of irritation, thus rub
bling the infection deeper into the skin
or hair follicles and insuring thorough In
oculation.
The anopheles or malaria distributing
mosquito is readily distinguished from
those of other species by the fact that
it alights with the body (proboscis or
beak, thorax and abdomen) in a straight
line and perpendicular or at marked
angle to the surface upon which 1t rests
Other gnats alight with the body parallel
to the supporting surface. The so-called
song of the mosquito is caused by the
vibration of a small process or organ In
the windpipe during respiration. Males
and females posses a different rate Of
vibration and are guided thus unerring-
ly to one another They are also greatly
attracted by musical tones of a certain
pitch and will fly invariably toward the
source of the sound. A. M. Mayer says
that these insects must have the faculty
