Joblot, reported that he had seen in the water of a basin at St. Magloire, Paris, “a new kind of fish | which might be . called . an aquatic caterpillar.” M. Joblot might see his aquatic caterpillars in dozens could he study the electric lighted glass tanks in some drug store windows in Man- hattan or at the entrance to the New York health department today; for his new fish proved to be neither exclu- sively old world specimens, nor lim- ited to the eighteenth century. They were nothing more or less than mos- quitoes in the larva stage. But no caterpillar ever showed such carnest: zeal as do these air-hungry little wrigglers in the tanks struggling to ‘the surface to breathe. Even the pale green inch-worm reaching_fran- tically his next footplace is positively Delsartian in his gestures compared with these writhing little dark things, “Their_conditions are oif¢ means of identifying them, it scems; for the larvae of the Culex mosquitoes live at the bottom of a pool where they can find the more 'substantial food they need for their, growth—small ‘algae, debris of dead animals. | Some are markedly cannibalistic, :and = devour living organisms of almost. their,own size. Once at the 'surface and the breathing tube. adjusted, all- was quiet. Head downward they ‘hangt, stitf as little sticks, as if even in.the midst of the city an iriterested dragon fly, seeing something move, might pounce: Only the little hairs around the mouth vibrate, attracting particles of food. Satisfied with air, down. they went again. One minute—three minutes— even fifteen, they are said ‘to remain below;-then again a struggle upward: But here are two horizontal bodies, not clinging by breathing-tabes head downward, but - floating along the under surface of water, Just a chance, of course, that some other aquatic in- sect’ was scooped up with :the ‘'mos- quito larvae; but also a chance that here, at the very door of the Depart- ment of Health, are two larvae of the malarial mosquito; Anopheles, peace- fully passing through the stages of their development. For Anopheles has no breathing-tube; its chunky head rotates rapidly on a very fila- ment of a neck. It stays at the sur- face eatihg lighter food than a Culex needs, and by its position more ex- osed to enemies of the air than its ess dangerous neighbors who for at least a portion of the time are below, out of reach of feelers and beaks. There, toward the top of the tank, partly out of the water, you see sev- eral bulging shapes—larvae that have entered the briefer pupa stage of two days, perhaps, at most. They take no food during this stage; and soon the bulging thorax -spreads yet further, The Romance of a Mosquito Campaign V A Brief Life Story of the Little breaks, and a winged thing struggles sut and stands by his empty shell—a pest, but also a mystery. During mid- summer heat, the life cycle is com-| pleted in about ten days. That means a whole new generation of mosquitoes every fortnight. Your new-born Culex seems a feeble thing, as yet. Tt does not try to fly. You can study it with your pocket-magnifier. ~ Has it, clearly, stripes on its legs? Does it stand hump-shouldered, its anterior legs bent to form an “M?" It is doubtless one of your Culex friends, trouble- some, but as far as yet known, harm- less. Should it stand on straight legs, roboscis-and body all in one straight ine, you know it for an Anopheles, marlaria-bearer. Does it sing forth cheerily, a brave buzz, high in pitch? Another token of Culex. e The Anopheles has a lower, quieter note, an interesting parallel, says Howard, to the bass voice of the vil- lain in the piece. And finally, if your specimen displays feathered antennae, and other decorative touches, you rec- ognize these as part of nature's com- ensation to the short-lived, usually armless, not always indispensable male, : The male of many species lives only a few days; he has been known to bitd, but only rarely, since his pro- boscis is_softer than the female’s and cannot usually penetrate human skin. But as a balance to the blood-thirstier tendencies of his spouse, he lives long enough to develop a distinct taste for alcoholic beverage, and has been often found hovering around the mouth of x‘cently opened beer or wine bottles, d exhibiting every sign of dis- sipation, The female of all species contri- butes more to race history and has, in' insurance parlance, a greater ex- ectation of life. _“Bite and die” is a ong since disproved .adage. In. the yellow fever tests in Cuba, Finley and the army men noticed that the same mosquito bit again and again, living for several wetks or, in summer, for an_indefinite time. She lays her eggs in moist places, preferably, in most ingenious hiding filaces. he leaves of pitcher plants, ollows in trees, broken bottles and empty cans on the scrap-heap, fire- buckets in the very halls of a hotel, empty flower vases, hoof-prints nJ wheel-tracks—all have been utilized by the persistent breeder. Eaves and gutters are ideal for her purpose. Ag one mosquito may lay from fifty to 500 eggs at once, the im- portance of ascertaining every possi- ble breeding place is obvious—and making it uninhabitable. Dry eggs may live for months, developing when water again reaches them. They ma; even be carried far afield by the wind. With s6 many inconspicuous breed- ing places nearby, the old theory that mosquitoes are “blown in from long distance,” is more labor-saving than scientific. Until lately, human indif- Brings Malaria in Its Sting. Singing ~ Pest that = ference to backyard conditions and to nearby swamp areas has made special exertion on the mosquitoes’ part un- necessary. Sanitation, like charity, begins at home. It may, however, very well larn lessons from abroad; and into northern extermination work are introduced many features of the tropical campaign—what Le Prince calls the “attack by filling,” the “at- tack by drainage” and that by oiling. A letter from a southern mill town says that before the anti-malarial mosquito work the company averaged sixty-six looms standing idle daily for lack of weavers; after, there was abundance of help. Before the cam- paign, twenty-six days of work produced 238,040 pounds of cloth; after, twenty-six days’ work produced 316,804 pounds. An interesting development in anti~ mosquito work is‘the utilization of na- tional enemies of the mosquito. In Havana, small surface-feeding fish were of great value in devouring tH¥ larvae as they hung at the surface, breathing. Tad-poles, dragon-flies, spiders, bats, even certain night birds —all are enlisted.in this battle. Until this spring Anopheles Maculi- pennis, or spotted-wing, has beensheld chiefly to blame for malaria. But since the opening of the year three investigators have found that another variety, the handsome. ‘A punctipens nis may also distribute that interest= ing atom, the malarial parasite. Thesa two varieties are, according to How- ard, found practically everywhere in this country, from New Hampshire to Florida and New York to Oregon. A maculipennis is a permanent suburban resident of New York City, with marked preference for the 5I-venti- lated dwellirigs. By its shyness, its terror of light, and as low, indistinct song, it is both difficult to catch and well worth catching; for not until the parasite is drawn into the mosquito’s stomach does it complete the sexual phase of its existence and start out strengthened and multiplied for new ravages in red human blood-cor= puscles, at the first bite.
