Apology and DisavoWaI.

When the lights went out Mr.. and
Mrs. Occy Wattles were entertaining
commandments of Mrs. Wattles,
but comparative strangers to Occy.
They sat and talked through the dark
age, and when the current was re-
stored Occy was seen furtively to
take his pocketbook out of his shoe
and return it to his pocket.
'What did you do that for?'' Mrs.
Wattles demanded after the visitors
had gone. ST never was so mortified

Germs of Malaria Hibernate in Man.

M. B. Mitzmain of the United States
public health service, went mosquito
hunting in Mississippi between Febru-
airy and June, 1915. He wanted to
find out where the malaria germs hi
bernated. There is little or no ma
laria during the winter He caught
more than 1000 anopheles mosquitoes,
all females but not one of them con-
tanned the parasites. At the same
time he examined the blood of 1,1S4
human beings and found that 1872 of
them carried the germs.
From this he came TO the conclusion
that man and not the mosquito is re-
spOnsible for perpetuating malaria
from season to season. Which leads
the Scientific American to suggest
that the way to rid mosquitoes of ma
laria is to exterminate men.

ferring to the II men missing. The
| dispatch as given out by the French
embassy read:
Gas Follows Explosion.
'"The French ministry of the navy
has given the foreign office the follow
ing information
'The steamer Aztec, 200 tons,
armed, bound from New York to
Havre, has been sunk without warn
ing April l off Ouessant. The torpedo
struck amidships. destroying the wire

'The third boat took off the sec
ond officer and Is men. Eleven men

tain was sighted by the French cattle

Secretary of the Navy Daniels said
he had no official information as to
the sinking of the Aztec, but he would
make public the names of the gun
crew aboard as soon as q complete
list of survivors is received. The state
department has asked for an imme-
date report on the sinking.
First Armed Ship Sunk.
The Aztec was the first armed
American ship to be sunk since the be-
ginning of the German ruthless under
sea boat campaign. Sixteen Americans
were in the crew of the vessel and it is
believed several of them persisted.
The vessel had cargo of the value
of more than half a million dollars.
The Aztec was formerly in the serv-
ice of the Pacific Mail line.
