CANAL MOSQUITOES
HIVE IU LIFE
Unceasing Warfare Waged Against
I Transmitter of Malaria and
Yellow Fever
By Willis J. Abbot, Author of "Pana
ma and the Canal in Picture and
Prose."
Copyright, 1913, Syndicate Publishing
<"o., New York. All rights reserved.
The latest desire In the unceasing
warfare of the Sanitation Department ■
upon the mosquito of the Canal Zone
is a contraption which shows which I
way the 'skeeter flies, where he comes I
from and whither he is going. It is a I
small frame holding four glass plates i
«et at right angles, with each plate |
facing one point of the compass-
North, 1 South, East or West. All are!
properly coated with tanglefoot so j
that when the heedless mosquito
humps Into a plate in his flight, he]
stays permanently. This machine has
shown that the mosquitoes fly in the
early evening—something that most
of us have discovered without the aid
of mechanical contrivances—and make
their return flight in the early morn
ing hours. The practical advantage of
the device lies In the fact that It indi
cates the direction from which the
pestilential Insects came. If the plates
facing East and North, for example, i
are besprinkled with captured insects
the oil brigade and the germicide men
are dispatched In these directions to
look up the breeding places that, start
ed out the flying squadrons of pesti
lence.
Since the "mosquito theory" of the
methods of conveying malaria and
yellow fever ceased to he a theory
and became an established fact, no
pains are too great for the sanitation
force to take in fighting the insects.
In reality there is a certain humor
in this scientific bug hunting. You
are at afternoon tea with a hostess In
one of the charming tropical houses
which the commission supplies to
its workers. The eyes of your hos
tess suddenly become fixed In a ter
rified gaze.
"Goodness, gracious!" she exclaims,
"look there!"
"What? where?" you cry, bounding
from your seat In excitement. Per
haps a blast has just boomed on the
circumambient air and you have vis
ions of a fifty-pound rock about to fly
through the drawing-room window.
"There!" dramatically. "That mos
quito!"
"I'll swat It," you cry valorously,
remembering the slogan of "Swat the
Fly" which breaks forth recurrently
in our newspapers every spring
though they are quite calm and un
perturbed about the places which
breed flies faster than they can be
swatted.
"Goodness, no. I must telephone
the department."
Speechless with amazement you
wonder If the police or fire depart
ment is to be called out to cope with
this mosquito. In due time there ap
pears an official equipped with an
electric flash-light, a phial and a small
bottle of chloroform. The malefac
tor—no, the suspect for the anopheles
Malefactor does no evil despite his
sinister name —is mercifully chloro
formed and deposited in the phial for
a later post mortem. With his flash
light the inspector examines all the
dark places of the house to seek for
possible accomplices, and having
learned that nobody has been bitten
takes himself off.
It does seem a ridiculous amount of
fuss about a mosquito, doesn't it?
But since that sort of thing has been
done on the one death carts no lon
ger make their dismal rounds for the
night's quota of the dead, and the rav
ages of malaria are no longer so gen
eral or so deadly as they were.
When Colonel Gorgas came to the
Isthmus the two towns. Panama and
Colon, were well fitted to be breeding
places for pestilence. Neither had
sewers nor any drainage system. The
streets of Panama were paved after a
fashion with cobblestones and lined
with butters through which the liquid
refuse of the town trickled slowly or
stood still to fester and grow putres
cent under the glowing rays of the
tropic sun. Colon had no pavement
whatsoever. Neither town had wa
terworks, and the people gathered
and stored rainwater In cisterns and
pottery jars, which afforded fine
breeding places for the mosquito. As
a matter of fact the whole Isthmus,
not the towns alone, furnishes plenty
of homes for the mosquito. With a
rainy season lasting throughout eight
months In the year much of the soil
is waterlogged. The stagnant back
waters of small streams; pools left by
the rains, the footprints of cows and
other animals tilled up with rain water
quickly breed the wrigglers that ul
timately become mosquitoes. Air. A.
H. Jennings, the entomologist of the
commission, has identified 125 varie
ties of the mosquitoe, of which how
ever, the anopheles and the stegompla
are the ones peculiarly obnoxious to
man. The others are merely the com-1
mon or summer resort variety of mos
quito with a fondness for ankles and l
the back of one's hand. A careful;
Study of literary authorities Indicates;
to me that at this point in the descrip
tion of the mosquito plague on the
Isthmus it is proper to Indulge in hu
morous reflections upon the fact that
the bite of the female only is danger
ous. But giving the fact the humor
ous applications seems so obvious that
the reader may be trusted to draw
them for himself —it would be Idle to
say "herself," for women will not see
anything humorous about It at all.

and the Canal in Poetry and Prose."

LEWIS AGAIN
Somebody is always writing some

Hamilton Lewis. United States Sena
tor from Illinois. And this is only
natural, for Air. Lewis is famous for
two distinct reasons. In the first place,
he Is the most picturesque and artistic
dresser in Congress, being the only
man who can handle lavender socks
as if they really belonged. Secondly
he takes a most active part in national'
affairs.
But the limit was reached last July,
when a newspaper correspondent
wired out a story about a speech the
Illinois Senator had made regarding
woman suffrage. Among other thin la
