GRAHAM, N. C, THURSDAY, AUGUST
Mosquitoes and Malaria.
The most prevalent disease in
North Carolina, certainly from now
until irost, is malarial fever in one
form or another. It is by no means
confined to the low lying Eastern
section of the State, but is quite
abundant in many localities in the
hill country, having been repotted
even from Cherokee.
By recent scientific investigations
the cause of the fever has been
shown to be a microscopic animal
known us the Plasmodium malaria;
or hem-amteba viyax, which feeds
upon the red corpuscles of the
blood hence the pallor of persons
suffering from chronic malaria. The
development of this little parasite
in the blood is as follows ; One of
the spores, or baby germs, so to
speak, enters a red corpuscle arid,
feeding on its contents, grows until
at the end of twenty-four hours it
has become nearly as large as the
corpuscle. It then, by a process
known as segmentation, splits up
into a dozen or more little spores
again, which for a short time are
free in the blood and unattached to
the corpuscles. It is just as the
segmentation occurs that the chill
comes on, which explains the pe
riodic recurrence of the chill every
twenty-four hours, and as it has been
found that quinine is most effective
in killing the germs while they are
free in the blood and not buried in
the substance of the corpuscles, the
best time to give quinine is just be
fore the chill is expected.
The method of the introduction
of the malarial poison, the Plas
modium, certainly the chief meth
od, has been demonstrated beyond all
question to be the sting of a certain
variety of mosquito known as anop
heles, the common mosquito, which
while more abundant as a carrier of
disease, being known as culex. The
latter species will breed in still
water of any kind, no matter how
pure, but the former, our enemy,
will only breed in stagnant pools in
which there is a certain amount of
vegetable matter, especially if there
are no fish, such as top minnows or
sun-perch, which feed upon the larva?
or wiggletails. This explains the fact
that malaria is much more abundant
after freshets, in the course of which
the stream, getting out of its banks,
washes Ijoles in the ground, and'
speedily failing leaves there stagnant
pools with few or no fish in them,
Mosquitoes are very much more
abundant this exceptional year of
freshet, than- usual. It also ex
plains the danger of brick holes.
The lavos, or wiggletails, as we
generally call them, are the young
mosquitoes. Although they live in
the water from the time they are
hatched from the eggs which were
laid on the surface until they reach
maturity they cannot live without
air tbey must breathe. Contrary
to the general rule, they breathe
''wrong end foremast" through a
long breathing tube which springs
from the body near the tail , and
which they stick out of the top of
the water when they want air. The
bearing of this arrangement on their
destruction will appear later, j
There is a popular misapprehen
sion in regard to the movement of
mosquitoes. The general impres
sion is that they are carried by
the !
wind, and people at the ea-sid say
that a land breeze brings mosqui
toes. . It ii a fact that they are more
abundant when the breeze is from
land or in a calm, but according to
those who know best the fact prob-,
ably is not that they are blown from
the swamps to landward, but that
they simply come ont again from
the trees .nd shrubbery and the lea
side of the houses where tbey had
taken refuge from the strong sea
breexe which was too rough for their
fragile bodies. With rare excep
tions tbey travel, it to said, seldom
more than a mile, and generally not
so far. When one is troubled with
mosquitoes a careful search will al
most always reveal stagnant water
in the near vicinity. '
The destruction of mosquitoe.
and the consequent prevention of
malaria U aoeompiished - in " two
ways : First and best, by thorough
drainage of all stagnant pool, of
water, and second, by keeping the
surface of such pools covered with
petroleum, what i. known as right
fuel oil, or even the etude petroleum
being better and cheaper than or
dinary kerosene. The film of oil
prevent, the larva? from breathing
and smothers them. The quantity
nrxewary is one ounce or two table
spoonful to every fifteen square feet
of surface, repeated every two week..
This oil method was employed with
great access last year by tb city of
of 'Tarboro has recently shown
most commendable spirit of enter-
prise in adopting it. Home care
and a littlo expense in securing pro
tection against mosquitoes and
in
providing a supply of pure drink
ing water win practically insure
against malaria.
To those interested in this sub
ject I cordially commend a very in
teresting ana valuable book on
mosquitoes written in popular and
entertaining style by Dr. L. O.
Howard, the Chief Entomologist of
the United States, and published by
McClure, Phillips &Co, New York,

The daily Treasury statement for
the last day of July shows that the
receipts exceed the expenditures in
July by $15,340. A,bout the mid
dle of the month there was a deficit
of nearly $5,000,000, but this was
overcome by the abnormally large
receipts before the end of the month
The July receipts from customs
were $21,263,903, the internal rev

miscellaneous receipts, $2,748,186.
The Navy department has decid
ed that officers of the naval militia
when on duty with members of the
regular service are equally entitled
to obedience from ' those of lesser
rank. This decision is of general
interest, inasmuch as it fixes the
legal status of enlisted men on duty
on naval vessels loaned ' to various
states for the use of the naval mili
tia. The secret service of the Treasury
Department, under the direction of
Chief Wilkie, will investigate the
genuineness of articles exposed for
sale at Minneapolis and represented
to be loot from the Forbidden City.
It will be determined whether the
articles really came from Peking,
how they were obtained, ' by whom
m ported and whether customs du
ties were paid on them.

my judgement no name but his will
be presented to the House caucus.
That caucus will be harmonious,

On July 1 the United States
Treasury was in the possession of
the largest fund of gold held by any
nation in the world, amounting to
