MALARIA-IMPoUNDED WATERS.
The Latter Furnish Excellent Breeding
Grounds for Mosquitoes

Those parts of the country where the
prevention OF malaria and mosquitoes
reduction constitute acute problems are
often faced with peculiar conditions
which must be carefully considered be-
fore adopting any remedial measures.
One of these problems now being stud
led BY the United States public health
service is the possible relation Of GER
tain impounded waters which furnish the
necessary power for important industries
to the spread Of malaria.
The many phases Of this situation
have been discussed in a number of re-
ports, one Of which has just been pub
hshed by the public health service. This
article deals with the Coosa river in Ala
hama, the important water extending
for about 20 miles upstream from the
dam. In the area examined. the topog-
raphy is such that very little OF the
floating debris is cast upon the short.
Pine trees are very numerous, not only
on the banks and flooded areas but also

in the valleys of streams and creeks
that flow into this artificial lake.
One Of the most interesting obserya-
tions made was that the leaves of these
pine trees, either when they fell into the
water or were carried into it by streams,
collected into groups and afforded excel
lent protection for mosquito larve,
forming in fact the most important local
factor in the production OF mosquitoes,
and being far more influential in this
respect. at least in the late autumn,
than floating logs As observed else
where ii was noticed that whenever
top feeding minnows were abundant,
they disposed OF all mosquito Larvae and
thus prevented the development of mos
quitoes. These fish were, however,
scarce in most parts of the lake exam
med, perhaps on account of the fact
that larger fish which prey upon min
nows were very plentiful.
The influence of impounded waters on
the breeding of mosquitoes and the con
sequent spread OF malaria is question
calling for prolonged studies, and il Is
the intention OF the public health serv-
ice TO continue its investigations Of this
subject.

One secret of the better fighting abil-

are to believe the writers who have OBJ

lation Of the. great nation the prohibi-
ton against vodka has been one of the
strongest agencies for improvement Of
conditions that Russia has known for

Before demanding reprisal or anything
like that, the japanese should wait to
learn if some irresponsible newspaper re-
porter didn't put that stick Of dynamite
with half burned fuse under the counter
Of the Japanese building at the San
Francisco exposition. There are persons,
we suspect, who would seize upon such
handle to swing great story OF treach-
cry; and we suspect also that there was
nothing but single perverted mind
back Of the dynamite outrage" Incl
dentally, the civil authorities Of San
Francisco might cure such a mind with
little legal medicine.
