Passing Of Malaria.

At meeting of the Royal Colonial
institute in London. recently, DR.. Nal.
colin Watson gave an account of his
work in the prevention Of malaria In
the Federated Malay states. He
showed that pool-breeding mosquitoes
could be abolished by open drainage,
that streambreeders could not be 50
abolished, but required drainage, and
that countries with no hill-stream
breeders had no hill malaria. He de-
scribed Investigations which he had
carried out in other parts Of the
world where malarious conditions
more or, less prevailed, in the Duars
at the foot Of the. Himalyas, and in
the Jeypore hills IN. Madras; in Su.
matra, Panama, British Guiana and
Barbados, and declared that the new
knowledge had given absolute control
over the malaria Of low, fiat land, and
high hopes of control, over that in hill
land. There was also every hope OF
asolishing malaria from rice-felds,
He believed that the prevention OF
malaria, the Improvement In health Of
the agriculturist and the cultivation
OF the land were all intimately con.
nected and that what helped the one
would improve the other. The enor
nous commercial value Of the control
or prevention of malaria in tropical
countries will be appreciated by all
familiar with conditions In these To-
calities. gf t5&. f=:f

formerly in the collection OF the late

was the word Corot Plaintiff gave

it. still unsigned. to sell. defendant to
receive commission. Subsequently
he told plaintiff he had. an offer OF

that. Defendant then said he had put
the signature "Corot" on the face Of
the picture. because he thought it
was real Corot, and 1t would entice
people to buy. No sale resulted, but
when plaintiff saw the picture again
1t had the word "Corrot" in bright red
in the left hand bottom corner. The
signature was obviously new, and
plaintiff told defendant he must re.
move 1t. Later the picture arrived at
plaintiffs house with the signature
gone and the corner OF the picture
damaged. 8 ID ~ a

that there was, no signature on the pic

Defendant, however, declared that
when the picture arrived at his shop
the name .Corot'' was on the face

him to sell It he showed him photo

could be seen. He was unable to eff
