The fact that water conditions are
not of the best for the Potomac Boat
Club closed regatta is not expected to
cut much of a figure in the interest al
ready manifested in the shell, canoe,
and swimming races scheduled for to-
day.
The water is higher than usual and
muddy, but the oarsmen, canoeists, and
swimmers declare that nothing will in
terfere with their activities today. 1t
is expected that banner crowd will be
strung across the bridge and lined along
the banks around the clubhouse to see
the finish of the long race from Chain
bridge as well as all the other events
scheduled for the Potomac Club men,
bers.
The shell races will be started at the
Three Sisters and will finish in front of
the clubhouse, while the canoe races
will start abreast of the clubhouse at
Little river. The many entries are ex-
pected to present full card of aquatic
sports for the benefit of the followers
of the club.
Pat Dempsey, who is coaching the
Potomac crews. will have his watchful
eyes on every shellful of oarsmen. The
junior crews are more than anxious to
get their race, as they wish another
crack at the Analostan crew, in the
Middle States regatta.

johnson has yet to be sent at top
speed over the full route, as Walsh and
Mathewson have. This Is 50 for the
reason that up to 1912 he was working
for a seventh place club where It would
have been worse than foolish to risk
wrecl<ing his arm. Yet In 1911. when
Washington finished seventh, he won

piration. AS this noise ceases when
the insect lights. 1t Is evident that
the action of the wings has some
thing at least to do with the high
pitched hum. Mosquitoes hibernate
in both the larval and adult states
during the winter seasons, and may
be found in barns, cellars, etc, while
in this state.
Regarding the malaria carrying
toes, DIR. Howard writes THE cause
of human malaria is the growth and
development within the red blood
cells of very minute parasitic organ
ism belonging to the lowest group of
the animal kingdom--the group Pro-
tozoa, or one-celled animals, which live
in the water or in damp sands or moss,
or inside the bodies of other animals
as parasites" These parasites are in
troduced through the skin as the mo-
squito bites the victim.
AS these mosquitoes breed in
marshy places and miasma eminatinz
from them was once given credit for
the disease known as malaria, in
stead of the blame resting on the
germ-laden proboscis of the anopheles
mosquito. One peculiarly of this
species is that they rarely bite except
after night fall. The use of spirits
of camphor or pennyroyal oil used on
the face and hands or upon the pillow

proboscis, for long enough time to get
in a good whack at him.
DIR. Howard writes: During the
summer of 1900 and spring and sum-
mer of 1901 the work of a commission
of surgeons Of the United States Army
demonstrated in Cuba beyond the
slightest possible doubt that yellow
fever is not conveyed by infected
clothing of yellow fever patients or by
contact with such patients or by prox-
unity to them, but that it is conveyed
by the bite of certain species of
mosquito known as "Stegomyia calo-
pus" which abounds in regions where
yellow fever is possible" Thus is one
more disease laid at the door of the
mosquito family.
THE bite of this mosquito" contin-
ues Dr. Howard. "does not convey yell
low fever to a healthy person until
twelve days have elapsed from the
ten person suffering with the dis
ease"
The methods of exterminating these
pests are as many as those suggested
for the vanquishing of the fly, which
latter insect has more excuse for
existence, seeing he is one of natures
scavengers, and to Danish him, with
out first banishing what he naturally
feeds on. would produce a pestilence.

the instant a hand is brought near
the waters surface where they are.
The anopheles mosquitoes breed in all
kinds of places where standing water
may be found. and they are partic-
ularly fond of the spores from the
water plant which make up the
green scum of many stagnant water
locations.
There is an interesting difference
between the anopheles and culex
members of { mosquito family, not
only in the form and appearance of
the eggs, but all along the line of de-
velopment. The larvae of the former
species rests at the waters surface
in a position parallel with the surface,
ID does not hang down with tail up
as does the latter species. During
midsummer the larvae may reach full
size in two weeks after Matching,
when they transform into pupae, such
as shown in drawing No. A. In this
stage they remain for three days or
