' la a recent work entitled "Mos quito or Man," Sir Robert Boyce, in the preface, says. 'Finally, if results are looked for, it can be said without exaggeration that the tropical world is to-day being pteadily and surely conquered. The narration of the numerous campaigns against the mosquito which I have here recorded is signal proof of this. The cam paigns show that the three great insect-carried scourges of the tropics the greatest enemies that mankind has ever had to contend with, namely, Malaria, Yellow Fever, and Sleeping Sick nessare now fully in hand and giving way, and with their con quest disappears the awful and grinding depression which seems to haved gripped our forefathers. Now the situation is full of hope. The mosquito is no longer a night mare; it can be got rid of. The tropical world is unfolding once again to the pioneers of com merce, who do not now dread the unseen hand of death as did of old the Spanish Cocquistadores of Columbus and Cortes. The British public has and must al ways have a paramount interest in this practical conquest, which is distained to add a vast slice of the' globe, of undreamt-of pro ductiveness, to their dominions and activities." Why has the strong northern blood which nature attempts con stantly to pou? into tropical lands, failed to gain a foothold? Why have the tropics not been civiliz ed? Why has the most fertile. section of the globe remained un civilized? Does the northerner forsake the tropics on account of heat or sickness? Gorgas in the Canal Zone has demonstrated that the American can live in the tropics with as much safety and do as much work as he can in the United States. It is not heat, but death that drove the French from this regi on twenty years ago. death from malaria and yellow fever that buried 50.000 of their labor era before they forsook the tropics The gate to tropical civilization has been locked for centuries by the mosquito and the flv that carries sleeping sickness. Evidence is accumulating that suggests, and goe3 a long way to ward proving, that the fall' of Greece was due principally to tropical diseases imported through their soldiers returning with their prisoners, both infect ed with malaria and other tropi cal diseases. (Health talk3on the subject of malaria will follow in a later bul letin.) Milwaukee Locals. Miss Katie Askew spent last week with her sister, Mrs. Claud Galling, of Severn. Rev. L. A.

At the age of 15 years, when a mere girl, she was taken 3 an orphan girl to live with Rev. Wra. Grant, and was reared by him in his familv and lived with the family to the time of her death, spending the last four years of her life wit h Mrs. Sue Tennilleand Mr. J. M. Grant, daughter and son of the late Rev. Wm. Grant. She professed faith in Christ at an early age and joined Rehoboth Methodist Church of which she was a con sistent and faithful member at the time of her death. She lived a pure, noble, consecrated. Chris tian life as each member of the family with whom she was rear ed bear testimony. She wa3 ever ready to serve others in need, and was always gentle, kind and considerate of others. Her dis position was to help. For the last several years of her life she was sorely afflicted and suffered much, but bore her afflictions with patience and christian bravery. All was done for her comfort that loving friends could do, but the hand of death could not be stayed. She was not afraid to die, but patiently wait ed the summons, and on Feb. 2, 1911, it came and she quietly and peacefully passed away only to begin life anew in the Beaut' ful City of the Glorified Saints, where sufferings, sorrow, sickness and death are unknown. She was laid to rest in the church ceme- 'tery at Rehoboth Church, Hers was a life of usefulness, lived in tha spirit of humility. A Friend. In Mtmuribin. Oa March 20th., 1911, at her home in Potecasi, when all na ture seemed wrapped in slumber, death, the golden key unlocked the gate of eternity and the spirit of Mrs. ThomarH. Hart, nee, Miss Georgie Gilliam, winged its flight to the heavenly city and the God that gave it Mrs. Hart was born March 7th., 1863. She spent the greater part of hiT life in Potecasi, where she was hapnily married in 1891 to Mr. Thomas H. Hart, who with four children, one brother, Mr. Jchp Giliiao"', of Milwaukee, and a large number of relatives stil survive her. tj-encie m disposition, nrm in Christian character and true to her friends, Mrs. .Hart was be loved by all w ho knew her. In her death there has passed away one whose life left its benedi tion, the sorrow of friends and relatives being mitigate 1 by the remembrance of her examplar'y life. A kind neighbor, a loving and dutiful mother, she was known best by those who lived daily near her. A joy to the home, a cheerful and earnest worker, she will be sorely missed, but God who loved her best, wanted one so pure and sweet in His heavenly home. But for those of us, who so deeply realize the loss of this kind friend and devoted mother, may the ties of love grow strong er if or Him who gave and has taken away, and may our lives be made happier in knowing that Not now, but in the comiug years. It may be in the better land, We'll read the meaning of our tears, And there, Eometime we'll understand" E. H. L.

Vast Undulating Plains Us Two or Tbree miles Beneath the faies Sir John Murray, in HarperV. The ocean has been sounded in nearly all directions with modern appliances, and these soundings show that the floor of the ocean consists of vast undulatin ir plains lying at an average depth of about 2 12 miles beneath the surface of the waves. In some places huxe ridges and cones rise from thf se submerged p'ains to within a few hundred fathoms of the sea surface, or they may rise above the surface volcanic islands and coral atolls. The greatest depth hitherto recorded is in the Challenger (or Nero) Deep in the north Pacific, 5.269 fathoms. If Mount Everest was- placed in this dr.ep. 2 600 feet of water would roll over the peak of this, the highest mountain in the world. The greatest dpp'h in the Atlan tic is in theNim D-'ep. between the West IndUs and Bermuda 4,662 fathom?. The greatest in depth the Indian Ocean is 3,828 fathoms, in the Wharton Deep, between Chirstmas Island and the coast of Java. We now know 56 of these deeps where the dept i exceeds 3 geographical miles, ten places where the depth exceeds 4 miles, and four placas where it exceeds 5 miles. The sea, as all the world knows, is salt. It is salted where strong dry winds blow across the surface. . a, for instance, ia the trade-wind resriois and in the Mediterranean ;.nd the Red Sea. It is hss salt toward the poles and in the deep er layers of the ocean, It has 1 pg been known that the very s-tlt water of the Mediterranean floowi as an under-current out ward through the Strait of Gi bralter, and thus affects the salin ity of the deeper waters of the Atlantic over a wide area. Al though the amount of salt in sea water varies, the composition of sea salt remains very constant; slight differences have, however, been noticed along the continent al coasts?, in the polar regions, and in the water in directcontact with deep-sea deposits. The temperature of ocean water varies at the surface from 28 de grees Fahrenheit at th? p le-3 to over 80 degrees. Fahrvithe't in the tropics, iheci!d wair to wari the poles r.xi an ai.nua! variation of less than 10 degrees Fahrenheit at any one spot and the warm water of the tropics also has an annual variation of less than 10 degrees Fahrenheit in a band that nearly encircles the earth; this is the region of coral reefs and atolls Between these regions of small annual variation there are two bands surrounding the earth where the annual variation is greater, and may exceed in certain regions 40 degrees Fahrenheit at any one spot.
