August 25, 1909. THI FIGHTING THE MOSQUITO. The fly and the mosquito have conflicting claims as the most obnoxious pest of the summer. While the former may claim to be a greater menace to health in that he carries the germs of more diseases, the latter has his special claims. The mosquito is very difficult to set. uui ui me nouse wnen once ne en-, ters; he can cause a maximum of annoyance and inconvenience during the nighthours; and he is the agent for spreading malaria, which annually afflicts thousands in the State. There are some hundreds of forms of mosquitoes. Some of them are perfectly harmless so far as carrying disease is concerned. Other forms, not less unsuspicious looking, can spread malaria broadcast. The layman can scarcely detect the anopheles, or malaria mosquito, from the culex, or harmless mosquito. The only sure method of ridding any hnmn nf mnanti i trv^o ^ breeding. Inasmuch as they seldom fly more than a few hundred feet from their breeding place, they can readily be killed off by destroying all breeding-places. Mosquitoes never hatch except in standing water, hence if all standing water is drained off, they will be killfed. It sometimes happens that the breeding-places of the mosquitoes can not be altogether removed. In such a case, the pest-ridden man has another source, not less efficacious. If he will take a watering-pot, fill it with kerosene oil and pour the contents lightly over the standing Wfltor hfi nan nrmrnn * " -VV. 9 uv VWII piCT^ut ktic U1COIU1U5 Ui young mosquitoes and thereby can kill them off. A quart of kerosene, lightly sprayed, will effectually cover the surface of a smaii pond. It must be remembered that running water is not a breeding-place for' mosquitoes and that they cannot hatch until they have been in water for at least ten days. But it is equally true that they can hatch and breed by thousands iu a very small amount of water. They may hatch, to be sure, in a stagnant pond, but they can hatch just as well and almost as numerously in a rain barrel or a flower-pot.

Some time ago shallow water was found at the end of the pass jetties. Dredging to remove the supposed mud had no more effect than paring a corn. Then engineers investigated. Way down below the river bottom they report natural gas is escaping from the earth.

The "hump" in the channel now is of immense proportions, and has lessened the normal depth of the channel at that point by about twelve feet. z Presbyterian of the sou The Normal and ASHEVILLF. f ( rid or care Presbyterian Church.
