coIorsa Mar for Mosquito Rait.

Kansas City star: Lieut.. Col. Will
liam M. Sibert, U. S. A., the builder OF
the Gatun locks, the Gatun dam, the
breakwater at Colon harbor and the
| excavation Of the channel between the
Gatun locks and the Atlantic ocean, has
written an interesting article on the
Panama canal, his first contribution
on the subject, for the National Geo
graphic society at washington. d. =.
In his article Colonel Sibert says:
"a little to the north of the Gatun
locks the American and French canals
intersect. Had the French canal been
completed it would now be out OF date.
for it's locks would not be OF sufficient
size to pass the boats that would now
offer.
IN 1912 Gatun had probably the
greatest influx of malarial mosquitoes
in its history. The sanitary depart
ment determined to locate all the
breeding places for mosquitoes near
Gatun, catch mosquitoes at each place
and after painting them, turn them
