■a id that in thi summer there were few

19 Mr. H. Hammond in Science, ap|>ears to
■ coaficm this view. “In 1889,” says Mr.
■ hauinund. “during a yellow fever epi
■ detmein Augusta, f>a., no cases originated
■ a: Som-rvili ', a neighboring suburb among
■ tbe sand hills. There were no mosquitoes
■ at Somerville, w hich was approached by a
■ rat .oro.rcur.oiis r. ute from Augusta. Some
■ years after, a siraigbt, broad road was
■ built through the swamps directly to the
■ aud hills, cisterns were also built, and
■ mosquitos appeared and became an in
■ tolerable pest. During the yellow fever
■ epidemic of ISSI a mimb.r of cases origi
■ nated at tbe sand hills abounding with
■ mosquitoes.”
H Ibeboi k a ill serve or. e good purpose at
■ least. It will do justice to that much-ma
■ ligued insect van msly known iu diirere.it
■ parts of the country as the dragoon fly,
■ mosquito hawk, “devil’s darning needle,”
■ and “snake feeder.” It will place him in a

with which the mosquitoes propagate them
selves. Xlr. Weeks, who seem -to hold that
it would be ques,i>nabie policy to attemot
to destroy tae m sq lito. it "being in his
opinion a scavenger, siys that ot,.er eniajies
miy be relied upVn to do that wer . He sug
gests that to banish the mvsquito tbe best
plan is to drain mead >ws. b .gs and swamps,
to 811 up stagnant pools, and level ram
h liiug nollows contiguous to dwelliags.
He also says that one remedy very simple
and near at haul is tbe preservation of in
sectivorous birds. And he thinks that a
little trouble take Ito prevent bad boys
from killing birds ii she neichb irh x>d of
towns would be likely to go further than ex
peusive and impractical a tempts to dis
seminate the dragon fly, for the scope of his
mvestiga ions included house flies.
He suggests, by the way, t at a very
effective destroyer ot the domestic fly is the
unappreciated insect commonly known as
the “thousand legs.” Of this creature he
says taat during tae day it retires to the
darkness of leaky basins and cellars, but at
night comes fo-th, and traversing the
entire house, stations itself head downward
upon the will in th 9 kitchen or wherever
flies are abundant, and slays every one
within reach. If unable to devour all of
its captures, it allows the first to drop on
to j floor after receiving a fatal wound and
proceeds to the others. Heaimits, however,
that in spite of its usefulness he does not
encourage this insect in nis house, prefer
ring a whitewashed cellar with dry, cement
bottom and sanitary plu nbing to its ser
vices. The bite of tois little creature is said,
upon the authority of Latreilie, to be
poisonous.
Mr. Weeks does not believe it to be possi
ble to breed dragon flies, at any rate to
such a point as to be efficacious. If the
question is raised why it is not as easy to
breed dragon flies as it is fish, silkworms,
bee3, etc., the question may be an
swered by the fa ther query why is it not
as easy to produce herds of tigers, lions,
and other suca quadrupeds as it is to pro
duce h arses, cattle and sheep.
Bees may be reared in swarms from year
to year, but it is doubtful whether hornets
or yellow jackets, both destroyers of flies,
could be. The Australian cuccmella, used
to devour the plant lice on the Florida
orange trees,- requires no artificial aid in
rearing. Mr, Reutenmuller holds the plea,
raised in behalf of the mosquito, that in its
larval s age it destroys the germs of the
miasma, to be futile and misleading. The
germs of miasma are very indefi dte organ
isms, and there are methods of exterminat
ing them much more effective than the
work expected from mosquitoes; these are
drainage, clearance and sunlight.
Among the natural remedies against
mosquitos to be relied upon are the ser
vices of fish aud water fowls. Fish can be
introduced into our public lakes, and
aquatic birds may be adopted for the pur
pose of destroying mosquito larvae near
houses and in ponds iu well-cleared fields.
This naturalist says that he has often ob
served hnv infrequent the larrse are in
Central park lakes, and he ascribes their
absence to the fish aud the w.ater fowls.
Certain artificial remedies are also relied
upon. The u*e of coal oil in swamps, by
odorizing the air and fl mating upon the
surface of the water itself, is a verv practi
cal and energetic remedy. It de troys the
mosquito in its early stages. The use of
lanterns, so arranged ns to attract and de
stroy the mosquitoes, is another remedy.
The mosquitoes are attracted to the u, and
arede3tr.ived in the cans of coal oii or kero
sene or other similar mixiures which mav
be used. They should be placed around
houses, hotels and in marshes. The expense
and trouble of management are small, as
they are onlv used during a few months of
the year. Indeed, almost every method
imaginable of catching aud destroying the
insect has been sugges ed, except the very
simple one of pu ting salt on its tail and
clubbing it to death.
These scientific authorities are not above
offering suggestions for the relief of persons
whose situation makes them liable to suffer
from the b.tes of these insect tormentors,
and who cannot wait for the propagation of
the dragon fly. They recommend lemon
juice, vinegar, oil of peppermint and oil of
pennyroyal. Avery strong infusion of
roots of trUidm repens issue -essfully used
at Simbirsk as a preventive against mos
quitoes, and a weak solution of quassia
wood boiled iu water has also been recom
meuded.
One interesting point is made by Mrs.
Aaron. The public does not understand
rightly the subject of the migration of
nosquitoss, she says. The idea prevails at
the seaside that a land breeze brin. s swarms
of mosquitoes from far inland. This notion
is based on the supposition .that mosquitoes
are capable of long sustained flight, which
is an error. Tue prevalence of the mosqui
toes during the land breeze is thus ex
plained. It is usually only during the lulls
in the winds that the mosquito can fly. On
our coast a sea breeze means a stiff breeze.
In such a wiud the mosquitoes usually con
ceal themselves in the trees and large
bushes, which ou the seacoast are battered
down to a flat top by the wind, but if the
wind dies down the m .-squito s, which the
unsuspecting occupants of seaside resorts
suppose to be miles away, come out from
their hiding place, and the females, the only
ones that do the biting, begin their work of
devastation.
Among the accusations brought against
fie mosqui'o must not be o pitted oae by J.
W. Clarke that mosquitoes interfere with
t:ie arts and manufactures, that they ruin
paper pulp, But perhaps tle most sur
prising charge made against them is that of
C. H. Murray, who stats that he has
observed the mosquito to light upon baby
trout aud literally pump out their brains
before they could escape.
Such is the very interesting discussion
which the public owes to Dr. Lambsrn’s in
vestigationsand publics irit a.d the ability
of the authors of this book. The investi
gations have, of course, a g oat humanita
i ian and scientific interest. The question is
also one of some commercial importance. A
syndicate wbicn should abolish mosquitoes
and reclaim the lands which, even in the
suburbs of New York this little insect
renders deserts, would, no doubt, be a great
financial success.

THi “.iACS PRO3LSM SOLV-ST,”
By Educatlig the Negro to Ee a Hlgh-
Cla63 Artisan.
Frvn the Boston Herald.
The southern people are joyful over their
prosperous condition and oteadilv expand
ing wealth. The “race problem" does not
even keep either w&ite or black awake
nigbts; both races, with very rare excep
tions, a: e getting aiong welt toge her, be
cause they understand each other better
than auy one at a distance can possibly un
derstand either. The negroes of the south
have abojt come to the conclusion that
politics, s > far as they are concerned, is a
poor busi-.esi out of which to extract
bread and butter, avid are settling down
to commercial arid industrial vocations
hest suited to their tastes and abilities. As
a race they are succeeding remarkably. I
doubt if tnero was ever an instance in the
world’s history where a race ever effected
so marked a c ange in its condition in so
short a period as the negroes of America
have done since they left the savage jungles
of their primeval Africa. While slavery
was a curse to the southern whites it was
a valuable training school for the negro, and
his progress since tne war has been due more
to his experience before chan to any other
influence.
The southern negro is even too far re
moved from actual want to reeviva kindiy
the proposition to supply him with the
"half-worn snoes aud clothing” of the charit
ably inclined citizen* of Boston. There s
one way, however, otuer northern friends
of the southern black can benefi him. The
negro is a true son of toil. He is a natural
Lorn workingman, because he cau work
harder and be happier under the strain of
his labor than auy other race. His brawn
is a great force that must be superintended
and developed. E-eccncity his power, but
it has to ba carefully guided and directed.
The negro needs training in industrial arts;
he must become a skilled artisan in produc
ing the things that mankind wants. Thera
will be plenty of bis race to perform th™
ordinary labor of life; the mo-e intelligent
of bis class must stsp up higher. Tney can
and i this but slowly without the opportunity
of being instructed in artisanship. Raise
a fund from arnoug the wealthy friends of
the colored man with which to endow a
great industrial college for the black race,
to be established in a central location in the
south. The southern people would contrib
ute liberally to its endowment. This {is the
only species of missionary work that New
England can do for the south that 1 cau
think of, and she can do this quite accept
ably to a large population of grateful, big
hearted people, who neod this help more
than they need anyt ling else in Christen
dom. Edward A. Oldham,
