4 TREE AND A DISEASE.
Malaria and the Effect Produced by
Planting . Blue Gum.

Planting . Blue Gum.
During the latter decades oe the nine
teenth century Il was q common prac-
tce TO plant blue gum or eucalyptus
trees In districts infected by malarial
fever. Il was held that the essential
oil produced by the leaves combated
the harmful vapors rising fron, the
swamps laden with the poison OF the
disease. The discovery that the ma.
iarial germ II introduced into the blood
BY mosquito has settled once and for
all the origin OF the disease.
The theory that the eucalyptus tres
neutrallzed the poison vapors Is non.
sense, yet the fact remains that where
blue gums were freely planted there
was always a notable decline in the
amount OF malaria.
What Is the explanation OF this cur.
cumstnncei II has been demonstrated
that, OF nearly all trees, the eucalyptus
absorbs the greatest amount Of water.
Two seedllngs--a blue gum and a plum
were placed with their roots In wa.
ter, and the height Of the water was
carefully marked. The plants were
kept In n warm atmosphere and cx-
amlned at the end OF twenty.four
hours. The little eucalyptus had dis.
posed OF four times the water that the
plum had been able to take up.
Seeing that blue gums Increase in
height with great rnpldlty, often grow.
ing many inches a day In n hot posi-.
ton. the amount OF moisture taken up
Increases on greatly progressive
scale. And this Il Just what brings
about tho downfall OF the mnlnrial
mosquito. To complete It's life cycle II
IL necessary that this insect should
pnss It's larval stage IN pools OF water
With The coming OF the cucalyptl these
pools aud Indeed all marshy places dis.
appear, the breeding spots OF the mos.
qultocs ARE gone. ana IN time the In.
sects vanish altogether.
