Hunters And the mosquitoes a ter
rible peat Id parti of northern Scandi
navia. One writes: The warmth of
the aun la rowing our deadly ene
mies, the moaqultoea, Into active war
fare. Attacked aa we are by a few
acore of vlcioualy piping aklrmliheri
from the mighty bolt, we have before
advancing to look to jotnta of our har-
neas and don our gauntlet!; then, In
descending the long slope toward our
bivouac the score! of the foe are
gradually multiplied to hundred!, the
hundreds to thousands, the thousands
to myriads, till we are at length envel
oped In a dense cloud of winged fiends.
The boraea are a distressing sight.
From nose to tall, from hoof to with
ers, their unfortunate bodies are cov
ered with what might be taken at a
casual glance for gray blanket cloth
ing, but which Is really a textile mass
of seething Insect life, so closely set
that you could not anywhere put the
point of your finger on the bare
hide.
For such small creatures mosqui
toes exhibit an astonishing amount
of‘character and diabolical Intelli
gence. They dash through smoke,
creep under veil or waistband like a
ferret Into a rabbit hole and when
they can neither dash nor creep will
bide their time with the cunning of
a red Indian. We wore stout dogskin
gloves, articles with which they
could have had no previous acquaint
ance, and yet they would follow each
other by hundreds In single file up
and down the seams, trying every
stitch. In the hopes of detecting a
flaw.”
And the same writer concludes:
"The problem p-esents Itself. Why
arc these vc: m'u so horribly blood

surklng blood? It Is one of the
gie.<t myn'ertes of nature. On the
uninhabited stretches of Ftnmark
they must as a ruio exist on vegeta
ble diet, the chances of blood so rare
ly occur.”—Chicago News.
