Lured "skeeters" to Death.

During the recent hot season pedes-
TRANS in a Jersey suburban town were
nIystifed each night about bedtime by
an unusual performance in a residence,
Every window in the house was dark
ened except one. A bright light of
round proportions was seen upon the
screen of this window; now at the
top now at the bottom; now in the
center, moving rapidly as with a set
purpose.
The solution, as discovered reveals
a new plan Of warfare on mosquitoes.
The man Of the house hit upon the
scheme Of putting a fiashllght on the
screen to induce the mosquitoes to
alight upon the wire. They were then
finished with Il swatter. Some nights
later the tlashlight device was seen at
work in a dozen other houses on the
thOroughfare.-New York Sun.
