MOSQUITOES ALWAYS A PEST
Complaints About NEW Jersey Ca
nary" by No Means Confined to
Modern Times.

IL Is natural to assume that certain
pests belong. In their deadly perfec-
ton, to modern times only. But such
Is not the case with mosquitoes. Ac-
cordlng TO an expert Of the department
of agriculture, who Is held to be the
foremost authority on what Is some
times called the New Jersey canary"
his researches indicate that the inhab-
itants OF ancient Greece were some
times forced to abandon their dwell
lngs to avoid the attacks Of mOsqui-
toes. The citizens of Monte, rich
city of IonIa, fed from the mosquitoes
Of Mileta, and Permamo, q beautiful
city In Asia Minor, was abandoned for
the same reason.
Sapor, king Of Persia, was COM
PEELED to raise the siege Of Nlsibis by
n plague Of gnats. Humboldt says that
In certain regions Of South America
the inhabitants pass the night buried
in sand, which covers them to the
depth Of three or four inches, leaving
out only the head, which is protected
by cloth.
There is even mosquito story
which had the hardihood to attack the
veracity Of George Washington, or
possibly that of a contemporary tour
list. Isaac Weld, In his "Travels
Through North America" says In ref
erence to Skenesborough, N. Y, that
mosquitoes were very ferocious and
plentiful there.
General Washington told me-" he
says "that he was never 80 much an
noyed by mosquitoes in any part of
America as In Skenesborough. They
used to bite through the thlckest boot"
Now the boots Of those days were very
thick and mosquitoes were probably,
80 far as structure goes, pretty much
as they are today. Moreover, the Fa-
Their Of His CoIntry could not lie; but
perhaps Mr.. Wild could, or, more prob
ably, one Of the gentlemen may have
INDUCED sense OF humor.

be only a starter. it is declared this company
expects to its development into sums of tens
of millions and to mine and export annually more
than 100000 tons of hard rock phosphate from the
Florida properties.
The Southern Phosphate Company is headed by
New England financiers and has operated in Florida
for considerable time The new extension is to
for expected increases in the demand for hard rock
phosphate, and it is not thought that any of the
rock mined on the properties will be handled
domestically all going to foreign countries through
Florida ports.
This concern is headed by Hayden ( Stone, bankers
of Boston, and work is expected to begin at an
early date. The sale of this stock was conducted
through private channels in the East.
