- NGSQUITOES ELUDE “SEARCH FOR YEARS Tyumnyrmlhhm Alter 35 Years Washington, Nov. 3 UP—The story of a apecies of Anopheles mosquito that eluded expert mosquito hunt- ers in Panama through a quarter century of careful observation is told in & paper by Dr. H. P. Curry, assistant chief health officer of the Panama Canal, published by the American Society of Tropical Medi- cine. New to science, it has been given the name Anopheles (Chagasia) bathanus, in honor of its discovered, C. H. Bath, sanitary inspector at Gatun. Although a number have since been captured and studied, Dr. Curry is inclined to believe it has little or no importance as a malaria carrier, “80 thoroughly have the mosqui- toes of Panama been studied by our own workers and others,” he says, “lhzl only seldom do we find a ecies to add to the about 140 '-den now listed. Especially in the last few years have the Anophe- | les been watched closely, as each sanitary inspector has a compound mieroscope of adequate power, and praetically every specimen that fs taken passes under its lens.” Mr. Bath found his mosquito as a well developed larva in a *pot- hole” in the rocky bed of one of the small streams from the hills above the Agua Clara reservoir, which had been drained only a short time before. They apparently breed only in rapid streams and have remark- able power of resisting flood and wave and current. The scarcity of such streams near the settled parts of the Canal Zone and the difficulty of reaching them through the jun- #le, even when a trail has been ¢ probably accounts for the late dis- covery of the species. 7 HD TIME FRENCH USEFILYS INSCIENCE WORK Find That Movies Are Great Aid to Students Paris, Nov. 2 (#—French scientif- ic movies having taken second place in the world’s first international mo- vie congress, the fine showing has started a campaign among French movie men to put them on a solid basis financially. 8cientific movies are one means of putting an end to vivisection, argue those who are striving to encourage the industry here. Instead of dis- secting a new corpse, or killing guinea-pigs and rabbits at each of their lectures, medical professors can simply show a film of the operation. This is foreseen as a great aid to students, since the operation may be magnified 8o as to be visible in its minutest phases and it may be stop- ped for explanation at any moment. Hitherto, scientific films have been the result of the toil and devotion of the faculty of medicine at the University of Paris. There has been no vote of credits by the government and ne subsidy from commercial firms. Evea the ages, lateed immediately after the Gu- man for scientific value. Succeastul films have been made of the circulation of blood in living human bodies. An appendicitis op- eration and a comparison of the way | the trepanning operation was per- formed in 1914 and 1924, have also been filmed. “OCEAN’ IN KANSAS | DEFIES SOUNDINGS Sult Water Hole Seems Bot- s Cawker City, Kas., ov. 2 (B)— | There is a bit of “ocean near the geographical center of the United States. | On top of a cone-like hill threo miles east of this northern Kansas | town is a pool of salt water, some 30 feet in diameter and so deep that not even a sea diver has been able to find its bottom. | It is known as “Waconda Springs,” “Waconda" being an Indian word meaning “the great spirit.” A cen. | tury ago Indians worshipped at the place and they believed the water to have medicinal qualities. The hill where the water Is found rises 50 or 60 feet above the sur- rounding terrain. It is believed by some persons to have been a small volcano, smothered by subterrean connection with an ocean. Some geologis however, have ex. | pressed the opinion the “spring was | 4 geyser that cooled off and settled | down. The water never freezes and | it keeps the same level in wet and dry seasons. It has a marine odor and color. Sap Dust Explosions New Industrial Peril | Pittsburgh, Pa., Nov. 2. —Soap dust explosions are announced as a new industrial hazard by the ex- | periment station of the United | States bureau of mines here. The explosive dust is generated during the manufacture of soap dusts and soap flakes. The grow- ing use of dust and flake soaps is given as the reason for the entry of this new menace into factories manufacturing these articles. It is announced by the department of commerce that *certain types of soap dust when suspended in air are more violantly explosive than most dusts encountered in indus- try.” The nature of soap compounds, the department says, “might lead one to expect soap dust suspen- sions to be relatively non-explosi- ble. Soap dust suspensions in the air are, however, easily ignited- and produce violent explosions accom- panied by much flame and large quantities of heat.” TELEPHONE EXTENSION Bydney, Nov. 2. (UP)—Within a year it is expected that the tere- phone eystem of England will be | linked up with the Australian serv, | ice by means of wireless. Inquiries are being made to de. termine the possibly of intro- termine the possibility of intro- ducing wireless telephony services to replace trunk line services over long distances in Australia to avold the heavy cost of erecting thousands of milvs of wire. It is proposed also to establish a wire- | happy as can be expected. less telephone service between Tasmania and the mainiand. RISON FARN HAS BEEN SUCCCESFOL Alabama System Is Winning Great Praise Atmore, Ala., Nov, 1 (P—Less than a year after the abandonment | in this state of the convict lease sys- | tem arden G. K. Fountain, of I)IC} state prison farm, near here, says he has found accumulative evidence of the wisdom of the move. Improvement in health and mo- rale of the prisoners and prospect of early material benefits to the state are among the factors that have convinced the warden, he says, that the sgtate did mot err when it removed its prisoners from the coal mines and put them to work for the state. Last March the warden and 23 convicts pitched camp on the 3,640 acre tract 10 miles from here that since has been transformed into an extension prison farm. There are ap- proximately 500 prisoners on the farm now. Stump-pulling machinery at work, curls of smoke that tell of the burn- ing of trash on the broad, cleared lands, mule teams at plows, men em- ployed on drainage ditches and the whir of saws cutting timber for buildings of the prisbn plant tell a story of the labor being performed. The warden says the men are as Warden Fountain says he expects to have 1,000 acres of land pre- red for cotton next year and 1 similar acreage available for corn. In addition he plans a 200-acre strawberry patch and tracts for truck gardening. Cane, vegetables and other products were grown this | year. Charles A. Moffett of Montgom- ery, president of the state board of | administration, announced recently | that a canning plant had been | | planned as a new development of the farm system. He said he believed that the farm products mot only could be made profitable to the state, but could |prove a boon to agriculture of the region by demonstrating the adapt- |ability of the soil in the vicinity to varous crops. TRAVELING SCHOOL Children of Cund. Attend Clliifl in Railway Car Port Arthur, Ont., Nov. 2. (UP) —It the children cannot go to the school the school must go to the children. That is the principle ac- cepted in certain newly settled dis tricts of Ontario where regular school facilities are not yet avail able. A railway passenger car ha- been converted into a complet school-room and teacher's home an’ is now serving a district 120 miles in length. It brings education to thc children of railway section men an: others not in organized school dis- tricts. The car {s stationed at a place for two or three days, where it re- ceives pupils from several miles| around, before leaving for the mext | point, and the teacher gives the children lessons to be worked out at home before his return. The car contains school-room, teacher's | bedroom, dining-room and Kitchen, | bookcases, blackhoards and.maps. Danger/ Don’t Kiss withaCOLD! Stay away from others while you have a cold.
