When congress
meets next winter
a bill will be Intrc-
A True Patron e: Art. duced in congress
for the establishment of a national gal
lery and it will have the hearty indorse
ment of President Roosevelt. Behind the
project will be the trustees of the Cor
coran art gallery in Washington, who
have united with other patrons and lov
ers of art In Washington, New York,
Boston and Chicago, under the stimulus
afforded by Mr. Morgan's proposition.
Congress will not be asked to make a
large appropriation. It will be expect
ed simply to lend the government sanc
tion to an enterprise which will be sup
ported chiefly from private contribu
tions. A New York member of congress
will Introduce the bill, and will be pre
pared to back it up with an offer of
$1,000,000 as part of the endowment for
the gallery.
A relative of this same congressman
will give a valuable art collection and
a large sum of money for the purchase
of examples of Filipino, Mexican, Cu
ban and Porto Rican landscapes.
But the great glory of the gallery will
be the collection of Mr. Morgan. The
multimillionaire, now grown old, will
give all his pictures and other works
of art, with no other stipulation than
that the gallery shall be situated in
Washington. The collection has been
appraised at fG.000,000 and It Is declared
to be worth much more even than that.
Besides he will furnish enough money
to build a wing, to he known as "The
Morgan Gift."'
Should congress sanction the gift the
result will be in a short time the
greatest gallery of art in tho world,
and Washington will become one of the
great art centers of the world. Archi
tecturally, too, the gallery will be a
classic worthy to rank with the famous
specimens of architecture to be found
anywhere.
Introdared the Typewriter.
S. N. D. North, the new director of
the census, believes he was the first
person who ever
put the typewriter
into practical
business opera
tion. North was a
newspaper man
in Utica, N. Y..
30 years ago. It
was in 1872 that a
machine came into
.Lis possession,
the principle of
the construction of
wnicn was mucn s. N. . North,
like that of the present toy typewriter,
except that it was far heavier and more
, cumbersome and did very crude work.
The machine was not on the market
I then, but the young editor thought he
saw possibilities in it and began to prac
tice on it. He soon got so that he wrote
all his editorials with the new device
, which turned out copy good enough
for the printers to read although hard
ly neat enough for business correspond-
ence.
j It was not till two years later in 1874
, -that the inventor had perfected his
machine so far that he dared to put it
on the market as a business proposi
tion, and even then it was greeted with
skepticism and even with ridicule.
Prior to that it had been regarded more
as a toy than as a thing with industrial
possibilities, and North believes he was
the first to demonstrate its economical
ralue even to a limited extent.
There is now comparatively little
Dlerlcal work done in the government
service without the assistance of the
typewriter.
A I.over of Treea.
Gilford Plnchat is probably the rich
est man in the United States who is
protected by the
civil service regu
lations. Pinchat
for several years
has been chief of
the forestry di
vision of the agri
cultural depart
ment, a place that
paid him $2,500 a
year, and yet he
is several times a
millionaire and
lives in one of the
most beautiful
"Woodmen, Spare That
Tree. '
mansions in Washington.
Lately he has been appointed by
President Roosevelt as head of the
newly created bureau of forestry, but
his only gratification in the promotion
comes from his feeling that thus his
life's ambition will the more speedily
be achieved.
Pinchat is a warm personal friend of
the president; but that is only an Inci
dent arising from the natural fondness
of both men for the fields and woods.
He devoted himself when a young
man, just graduated from Yale, to the
I study of tres, and with a passionate
love of nature he spared neither money
nor energy In mastering the subject.
He found all there was to be learned In
the colleges, then he tracked out Into
the wilderness of the west. He traveled
abroad. He came in contact with men
who have devoted their lives to experi
ments with systems for preserving
forests, and restoring forests In old coun
tries where tho forests are regarded as
a precious possession. Then he came
back home, and obtained a place in the
agricultural department which for any
body else would have been merely a
clerkship. That was not so very long
ago, and Pinchat is still a young man
hardly more than a boy In appearance
but he has Interested high executive
officers in his plans until now he Is at
the head .of a bureau which will play a
very Important part in the development
of the country's resources.
Doom of the Moaqnlto.
The day of the mosquito is rapidly
drawing to a close. Not confent with
the development
of mechanical ap
pliances for its
extermination by
means of petrole

tional announce- quitos.
ment that he has discovered a mosquito
destroying parasite which can be col
lected and turned loose on the unfor
tunate Insect with practical certainty
of causing its extermination.
Dr. Stiles is the one who startled the
world a few months ago with the an
nouncement that he had discovered the
germ of laziness the worm whose rav
ages In the southern states had wrought
havoc in the social and Industrial sit
uation. There seems to be no doubt about the
genuineness of both discoveries, and if
Dr. Stiles has really found a remedy
for both indolence and mosquitoes he
will have a high place in the world's
records, although the mosquito itself
has hitherto been regarded as one of
the most effective enemies of laziness
to be found.
The name of the mosquito destroyer
is really the "Agamomermls Culicis,"
but it will doubtless be called some
thing else for short. It is an Internal
parasite and when once deposited in
the abdominal cavity of a mosquito it
causes speedy death. An insect infect
ed becomes sluggish in its movements
and females cease to breed.
Dr. Stiles and the other government
scientists will now devote themselves to
propagating the mosquito destroyer In
sufficient quantities for general use,
Just as was done with the parasite of
the grasshopper plague. The depart
ment of agriculture by sending out cul
tures of this parasite to places west and
south where the grasshoppers had be
come a burden has practically put an
end to grasshopper famines, and it will
be the ambition of Dr. Stiles to secure
for his new germ a field of equal use
