as well as vegetable refuse, and such
probably is generally the food of the
larvae. The larvae feed at the bottom
where they mouth over the organic
sediment even when the water is very
deep.
A knowledge of the egg-laying
habits Of the mosquito will make peo-
pie more careful about leaving recep-
tacles containing water uncovered and
unprotected. Normally it appears to
be the custom to lay eggs on the sides
of any place containing water just
above the surface of the water, so that
a slight elevation of the water will
submerge them. They have been
found upon a leaf floating upon the
water. The eggs are small and black
in color. AS has been stated, they are
ordinarily laid above the margin OF
the water and here they may remain
dry for long periods, Matching when
reached by the water They develop
better after having been dry for some
time. In fact, 1t seems that they will
preserve their vitality for six months
or even longer. Freezing does not de.
strey the fertility. of the eggs. The
duration of the egg state, when the
eggs are laid upon the water, is about
two days. When deposited above the
water they hatch promptly when sub
merged

1t was pointed out that the kiss was
necessarily very fleeting as the lights

reach the particular spot aimed for,
and that In the darkness the woman

Large hats and small, simple coiffures

also to consider small hair rolls or
pads for supporting the hair, and
coiffures are quite generally dressed
in waves. These are the wavelets
that are breaking upon a new shore
line in hairdressing, speaking figura-
lively; they are foretelling rising
tide of favor for more display in the

shown here pictures the hair parted
at one side and waved in smooth, reg

lock at the front arranged In light

are abundant breeding places. Rain
water tanks, so universally behind the
houses in Southern cities, are the
source of most abundant supplies OF
these mosquitoes. The larvae are also
found in sagging cutters containing
rain water, in tin cans, in cess pools,
in horse troughs, In water-closet
tanks, in the drain traps of stationary
,wash-stands, in urns in cemeteries. In
pools accommodating under the water
Ranks, in water pans in the chicken
yards, and in the water receptacles OF
Igrindstones.
: The observations of scientists indi-
cate that the ye1low-fever mosquito
breeds almost always in clear water
and seldom in foul water. These OBJ
servers always found it in artificial re-
lceptacles, except few times in tree
holes near houses, and IN one case In
street gutter. In the last case 1t is
probable that this larvae came into
the gutter by the emptying Of some
household vessel. Discarded bottles
and tins about houses are favorite
breeding places.
The larvae, when suspended from
the surface of the water to take in
air, hang almost perpendicularly.
They are very easily alarmed and
then go quickly to the bottom, where
they remain a considerable time with
out rising to the surface. When
water is poured from a receptacle in
ihabited by these larvae they quickly
seek the bottom and their presence
may not he suspected, although the
vessel is in constant use. They cling
$50 closely to the bottom that unless
the jars are rinsed and tipped up so
as to empty them completely, which
is not usually done, nearly all Of the
larvae win remain in the jars. On
account of this habit they are not
easily disposed of by pouring out the
contents of a barrel.
The larvae occur most frequently in
clear water in rain-water barrels or
in drinking water receptacles In
houses, the water in such receptacles
contains more or less animal matter

Sir Ernest Shackleton's Lieutenant
Explains Equipment for Antarctic
Invasion to Herbert Corey
Can Do Cooking on Side.

London, England.-"We will get off
to a flying start with our motor
sledges," said Sir Ernest Shackleton
at the Offices of the Imperial TRANSMIT
arctic expedition. I'VE dc not know
what the surface may be on the We'd
dell sea side. But if it is as decently
smooth as that on the Ross sea side
from which all previous parties have
attacked the south pole-I can assure
you offhand 400 miles straight away
with them"
Knowing nothing about polar work
or motor sledges l had perhaps shown
doubt of his mechanical contrap-
tions, says Herbert Corey in Chicago
News.
Talk to Lees" said Shackleton.
HE is the man in charge of the motor
end of the expedition, and knows more
about them than do. Hi!-Lees."
Capt Orde Lees, r. N, opened the
door Of the outer Office, where he had
been at work over his drawings and
correspondence, and 1 went out to look
over his plans. To our right as we

said Lees. "One will have a 55-horse-
power Anzani motor and another 40

Rain Water Barrels Are Abundant In

Yellow Fever Mosquito Is Most
Dreaded of Its Species.

Washington.-The probabilities are
that the most dreaded of mosquitoes,
the yellow fever mosquito, originally
bred in water in holes in trees. but 1t
has so perfectly adapted itself to the
human family that 1t has become a
true domestic insect and Is practical
ay dependent for its existence upon
the conditions that surround human
habitations, says l.. o. Howard. This
adaptation is undoubtedly of very an
cient development The yellow fever
mosquito is essentially town mosqui'
to, and the larvae are found practi-
cally exclusively in artificial recepta-
cles In and about houses.
1t can be said that it's larvae are
never found in swamps, In pools, or
even in temporary puddles, even when
these are in close proximity to houses.

in which drinking water is kept are

A MUCH sketched and much talked
~ of costume, worn at the Chantilly
races, is pictured at the left of the
snapshot photograph which appears
here. 1t is in black satin with the
longest Of white lace tunics over it
and a black satin coat With the
same color combination, used in re-
verse order, Is costume of white
satin with oyerdrape of black lace,
at the right of the picture.
A throng of people attend these
meets for the sole purpose of staging
costumes in the most effective of set
tings. These people demonstrate the
modes and launch new styles. They
form the centers of attraction for that
greater throng that is in attendance
for the purpose of looking at them.
The handsome costume which
caused SO many modistes to take no
tice and so many artists to level cam
eras or ply pencils, is chiefly remark
able for the oddly of the lace Of
which the tunic is made. Patterned
after an old idea, modern lace, show
ing figures on net ground, was used
for this tunic. But the figures are
distinctly up to date, showing girls in
sweeping draperies and graceful out
lines encircling the tunic near the bot
tom. The figures and draperies are
cleverly outlined with run-in threads
and they, with the garlands of flowers
and other figures, are brought out in a
cameo-like relief by the underskirt of
black satin.

asked Lees, with a smile in his blue
eyes. Its Yankee trick that ought
to tickle you folks in the States. You
always like clever things"
The aerotractors are air cooled. In
order to keep the carburetor from
freezing, a hot cupboard has been
built around the heart of the engine.
This cupboard has been made so large
that when the camp Is made at night
the perspiration-soaked underclothing
of the explorers may be placed in II
and thoroughly dried out. No one but
a polar worker can imagine the com
fort OF this plan.

The coat is not allowed to distract
the attention from this clever posing
of odd lace. It Is entirely plain, but
quite original In cut. The hat Is of
black satin with two extravagantly
long Numidi feathers sweeping be-
yond the brim edge.
The attention Of the seeker for new
styles having been seized by this
novel gown, he notes it's details to
find new features worth remember
ing. First, its simplicity; then the
extra length of tunic and width of pet
ticoat; and most noticeable, the wide
hat brim, which is radical new de-
parture.
1t is not often that anything SO
striking is at the same time so ele-
giant. The combination of black and
white makes this possible.
The second gown is hardly less
noteworthy and only shade less orig
inal The tunic is of black net, hay
ing an insert of lace wrought in and
a border of very wide velvet ribbon
above the hem. 1t is set on to the
bodice of black net by band Of black
velvet. The long sleeves are OF net
and lace in black There is that orig
inal touch which means everything in
the really gorgeous embroidery in
white figures which ornaments the net
bodice.
The white feather tuTban worn with
this costume is prominent feature in
styles of the hour.

the face is liked by the younger
women. Only q few curls about the
face relieve the plainness of this style,
but mass of hair piled on top of the
head makes a piquant arrangement
suited to youthful faces.
Puffs and short curls are becoming
to everyone and look as well on grand
mama as on her daughter and daugh-
ter's daughter. They are most sue
cessful when made separately and
pinned on, for they can be easily
dressed and placed wherever needed.
There Is no very good reason why
one should not borrow the charm that
belongs to them unless prejudice
against wearing separate pieces OF
hair can be construed as reasonable.
