Leoncia, who CHANGED to be gianc-
! ing along the face Of the cliff far
ther, on, suddenly stiffened with at
tenticn and cried. Look"
Their eyes followed hers, and
rested on the same point What
they saw was no flash. but a steady
persistence OF white light that
blazed and burned like the sun.
Following the base of the cliff at
a scramble, both men remarked,
from the density of vegetation, that
there had been no travel Of humans
, that way in many years. Breathless
from their exertions, they broke out
through the brush upon an open
space where a not-ancient slide OF
rock from the cliff precluded the
growth Of vegetable life.
Leoncia clapped her hands. There
was no need for her to point Thir-
" feet above, on the top OF the
cliff, were two huge eyes. Fully a
fathom across was each OF the eyes,
their surfaces brazen with some
white, rejecting substance.
The eyes Of CHA" she cried.
Henry scratched his head with
Godden recollection

you what they're composed Of" he
said Tive never seen ii before. but
I've heard oId-timers mention il.
It's an old Maya trick. My share

perforated dime, that ] can tell you
what the rejecting stuff is"
"Done!" cried Francis. "a mans

even II it's a question Of the multi
pIication table. Possible millions Of
dollars against a positive bad dime!
I'D bet two times two made five on

shells, or, rather, pearfoyster shells.
It's mother-of-pearl, cunningiy mo-
sacked and cemented in so s to
give a continuous rejecting surface.
Now you have to prove me wrong,
90 climb up and see"
Beneath the eyes, extending a
score Of feet up and down the cliff,
was q curious triangular output of
rock. Almost was il like an excre-
sence on the face OF the cliff. The
apex Of IL reached within a yard OF
the space that interviewed between
the eyes. Rough inequalities OF sur
face, and cat-like clinging on Fran
eis's part, enabled him to ascend the
20 feet TO the base Of the excres-
cence.
Thence, UP 10 the ridge Of il, the
way was easier. But a 25-foot fall
and a broken arm or leg in the
midst of such isolation was no
pleasant thing TO consider, and
I,eoncia, causing an involuntary
jealous CLEAN to light Henry's eyes,
called up:
"oh. do be careful, Francis."

on this account that It should be
rigidly excluded from houses.
Malaria is one of the most wide
spread of preventable diseases.
Forty-nine species Of the variety
OF mosquito known as Anopheles
are known to transmit malaria.
The mosquito becomes infected by
sucking the blood of persons har-
boring the malarial parasites. In
the course OF twelve days the para
sites have multiplied in the vail

the salivary glands. They are dis
charged from the salivary glands
OF the mosquito by the act Of sting

blood cells. where they grow and
develop. The infected person usu-
ally does not develop symptoms for
a week.
The mosquito must go, along with
the fly. the rat, the flea, the bedbug,
the oockroach and the louise, all OF
which have been shown to play a
part in the transmission OF dis
ease.
