MOSQUITOES THRIVE ON SALT
Simply Waste OF Time and Money to
Use That Method for Extermlna-
ton Of tho Pest

Mosquitoes are fond of salt, and it
is a waste of time and money to
try to drive them away by putting
salt in the pools and rain barrels
where they breed. Such is the con-
clusion of Prof. E. Halford Ross of
the Lister Institute of Preventive
Medicine, London. The plan, he
says, was given an extensive trial at
Port Said, where the anti-mosquito
campaign was started in 1906. There
are large salt distilleries at Port
Said, and the crude sea salt regularly
was thrown into the water where the
domestic mosquitoes were breeding.
1t was soon found that certain kinds
of mosquito Larvae can thrive well
in such salt water.
For example, "stegomyia callopus,"
the carrier of yellow fever, and ''ano-
pheles pharoonis," which is car
rfer of malaria, bred undisturbed in
water containing salt up to and in
GLIDING a salt content equal to that
of the summer Mediterranean. As
soon as this percentage of salt was
reached, new mosquito appeared,
namely "acartomyia zamittii," which
is an inhabitaht of the salt pans and
salt marshes of Malta, the bitter
pools of the isthmus of Suez and the
Mediterranean shores. This mosque
to is particularly venomous.
Professor Ross adds that crude OF
refined petroleum or resin or tar oil
are the only things to put into mos
quito pools.

HONOR DIScOvERER OF APPLE
Appropriate Memorial to LoaSnml
Baldwin in the Setting Out Of
Fruit Trees.

An appropriate memorial to Lo-
ammi Baldwin, whose name is asso-
ciated with the Baldwin apple, was
provided recently by Mrs. Nellie M.
Baldwin Farmer of Pittsburgh. She
purchased farm of 175 acres at
Hampton Falls, N. H., and set out
1000 Baldwin apple trees. The
apple certainly is worthy of such
mark of recognition, and any one
who owns an available piece of land
might serve himself and the commu-
nifty well by following the example
set by Mrs. Farmer.
The history of the discovery of the
Baldwin apple related by Mrs. Farm
er is interesting. Loammi Baldwin,
years before the Revolution, cut
scions from a wild apple tree neal
Wilmington, Mass, and in five years
surprised his neighbors with a crop
of red apples of remarkable flavor
His name was given to the apple by
common consent, and when the orig
inal tree died the site was marked
by a monument.
Since Loammi Baldwin found the
wild apple tree that bears his name
scores of different varieties have been
produced; but the Baldwin more
than holds its ground among people
who judge fruit by its flavor rather
than by size. The fancy western
apples are unworthy of comparison
with the Baldwin, and Mrs. Farm
er's recognition of the merits of the
old-time brand thus rests upon fact
as well as praiseworthy family
pride.-Providence Journal.

INITIATING DAYLIGHT.


AS a substitute for the ordinary
glass lamp globe there has been in-
troduced in Germany globe made
of thin, translucent marble. The
light produced from this globe is de-
clared by experts to be almost the
exact counterpart of daylight. An
other German novelty in illumina-
ton consists of a screen coated with
an aluminium powder which when
placed before a light, transmits a
glare exactly like daylight, by means
of which even colors can be judged
with perfect accuracy.

EIFFEL TOWER ON STAMPS.

The French postal authorities are
considering the issue of a series OF
stamps with new design. Instead
of Roty's familiar ''sower," the new
stamps will have a picture of the
Eiffel tower with an aeroplane flying
over it. The reason for this change
is that the stamp is very easily
copied by forgers. The proposed
new design is meeting with much
criticism. 1t is said that. if the gov
eminent must supersede Roty's
graceful figure it might be some
thing more pleasing than the Eitfel
tower.
