HoIHTS OF

A curious circumstance incidentally
noted by Professor Ball was that some Of
the mosquitoes arriving from Florida were
Of the species called dcdcS SOHicttdHS-the
migratory salt-marsh gallinipper with
striped legs that is the Jersey skeet par
excellence, and which, flying far inland,
makes itself a nuisance over thousands of
square miles OF territory in the northern
coastal region.
The results Of the scientific researches Of
Professor Ball are of far-reaChing import
ance. Many towns and cities have lately
made appropriations for clearing up local
swamps and marshes to rid the neighbOr
hood Of mosquitoes great deal of money
has been spent in this direction, and yet
the pest has not been fully eradicated.
Nobody heretofore has ever suspected
that mosquitoes bred from fifty to one hun
bred and fifty miles away might arrive to
torment a far distant locality.
Another popular error has been the idea
that mosquitoes do not stir abroad when
the wind is blowing.
Still another false notion was the idea
that the mosquito did not remain long on
the wing, but was sure TO light and rest
before many minutes.
Professor Balls interesting ipyestiga-
lions show that mosquitoes are not afraid
to be about when a brisk wind is blowing,
and, furthermore, that mosquito has suf-
fCient muscular power and endurance to
keep its wings going continually for at
least fifteen hours at a time
or course the mosquito does not actually
fly by its own wing power $50 miles. II Is
~ly when the wind is blowing that the
mosquito can cover any such distance.
But il makes very little difference in the
seriousness of the matter whether the mos
quito makes the trip by its own wing power
or makes it with the help of the wind. Wind
from some direction is blowing most Of the
time. The important thing Is the disturb
ing discovery that a mosquito is able to
keep in the air fifteen hours without alight-

People have followed these directions
and yet they have been troubled with mos
uuitoes. That is because they have not
realized there is no body of water so small
that it cannot become a mosquito nursery.
There are any number of queer places
where myriads of mosquitoes have been
Matched and bred, to thrive on the blood
Of the citizens Of the community and to
distribute malaria among voters and suffra
gettes alike.
For example, rain water puddles made
in hoof prints by the roadside. or little
used or a disused horse trough. Kitchen

Look in the cellar. There may be found
some overlooked receptacle for water, or

filed with water.

Howard the Governments EntOmOlOgist-

the pitchers of pitcherplants. The rain
water in the pitchers freezes solid. but
the mosquito larvae contained in it are
not bothered by that. When warm wea-
Their arrives, the ice melts, and the insects
thaw out and take wing, lively and vicious.
Thus it appears that the mosquito is
TesOurceful creature. There are, II is
estimated, at least 500 species, and the
breeding habits Of no two OF these are
exactly alike.
Likewise is 1t with their habits Of fight.

II has often been observed that
mosquitoes do not fly higher than the third
story of an ordinary house Sleeping on
the fourth floor, then, one ought to be safe
from their attacks. But the trouble is
that, once inside of a house, they will
climb.
Thus In a tall buildings. for example,
in a lofty apartment hOuse-they will
ascend from floor to floor. To save time,
they often get aboard the elevator Ar

Dear Social Corner Friends: How swiftly time flies. Here we are in the midst of the picnic season again. While our hearts are saddened at the thought that some who were with us last year have finished their iaasors and gone to their rest, and we shall
 miss them. OUT hearts are gladdened by others who are ready to keep the circle full and help extend the glad hand of friendship to all who come to try to make homes brighter and life more worth living.
 How, many hearts are rejoicing in the long hoped for rain this morning. Although it may spoil some plans fer an outing planned we are grateful for the much needed rain. We read in the Book of Books" that 'fPaul may plant, and ApoIlos water, but God alone giveth the increase'

THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: These are things which may help some Sister in her work:
 Lime Water in Barley Breadth a recent edition of the Bakers Helper, Chicago publication. an article said that many years ago Q Scotch baker in Scotland becana a very wealthy man by advertising his lime water bread as being a most excellent food fer the growing children. Sugar was scarce then. a. it is now, and the grains made dark looking bread, and the acid taste of the barley was not agreeable to many. The addition of lime water made a sweeter, more pal atable bread, and a bread of lighter color, for the chemical reaction of the lime water on the barley mixture pro- duced this result.
 I add two teaspoons of lime water now to mixture of dough where use a whole yeast cake. To Xiii; Poison ivy-Make a strong solution (brine) of salt, saltpeter ant water Spray the poison ivy with thi! solution on Q bright sunshiny da! and follow next day if sunny b! spraying with kerosene only.
