Tulloch, Harvard scientist, and at one time consult- ing entomologist of the State of| Massachusetts. Dr. Tulloch has & laboratory 12 miles from Fair- banks and is studying this pestifer- ous insect.” | Rabbits and guwea plgs com- monly are regarded as prolific re- producers, but they fall into com-| parative sterility when ranged alongside the mosquito. “Dr. Tul- loch tells us,” declared Mr. Hesse “that there are from two to four generations of mosquitos in a sea- son, and on a basis of two genera- | tions, one pair can produce 94,000,- | 000 offspring. The female of the species is more vicious than the male for the male never bites, and is, therefore, seldom seen by hu- mans. “He also is authority for the statement that the dragonfly and the swallow are the most deadly enemies of the mosquitos. More power to both of them! Alaska, acording to Mr. Hesse, has experienced an unusually back- ward summer this year. “A pol,ar‘ bear and two cubs were seen near Cape Nome as late as July 4, and from all reports they were exceed- | ingly comfortable,” he said. | s e - B.
