Ditching the Mosquito. If s pool of aster 100 by 15 feet can produce 53,000.000 mosquitoes In tan days, how many mosquitoes can be deprived of existence in one year by *00,000 linear feet of ditches, which drain 30,000 acres of marsh land? asks the Chicago Tribune. That la a problem which the mosquito extermination commission of New Jersey probably considers one of pure mainematics. and so not within its funcUon to solve. At any rate. It does not give us the statistic*, but It does report at the end of the open mosquito season of 1904 that the 400,000 feet of ditches have been dug, and that In several parts of the slate great relief from the pest has already been obtained. More over. It assures the world that permanent relief can be secure. “In the simplest possible way.” The testimony is absolutely convincing, for when New Jersey speaks about either mosquitoes or trusts the world Is forced to give, heed. Of the 30 or more species of the mosquito family only three—the “salt marsh,” the "swamp marsh," and the “common house" species—have received special attention from the exterminators this year. The draining of the marshes at the mouth of the Shrewsbury river was so successful that the adjacent country had an almost mosquitoless summer. M Newark the experimental draining flnlsbeo before the breeding season began was so successful that the common council appropriated money enough to drain all^lhe surrounding marsh lands, and next year the city expects to get the full benefit The salt marsh mosquito is migratory, and sometimes flies to considerable distances, so that all of the coast marshes must be drained by coopersUve effort before any one community can be sure.of complete freedom. The swamp marsh and common house species are usually satisfied, however, with the human food supplied by the neighborhood In which they were hatched, and as to these each community can tend to its own pest, though "rain barreis" and damp cellars may have to be put under the ban before the common bouse species finally succumbs to social progress.

Public Schools in Guam. Commander Luby, In charge of the Chicago naval recruiting office, has received a letter from Oov. Dyer of Guam, announcing that public schools •ooo will be opened In the island fot the education of 2,300 native children. The writer says he Is experiencing much trouble In finding school books suitable to the needs of the work. The governor asks for publishers' catalogues, and adda: "Unieas yie books have more or less lp$aj color they practically are useltsrff ju a concrete example, experience shows that It la Impossible to teach the natives of the Pacific tropics the meaning of the seasons as we understand them in the United States.”
