out this aid. .
In ' tho butterfly, grasshopper, bee.

been used to seeing four wings, but
now we find only two 111 the mosquito.
Just behind the wings fire wbut the
books cull tho balances, two littlo
stnlks with o knob at the butt end of
each. - The balances arc all that la left
of what was once (so naturalists tell
us) tho hinder parts of wings In the
remote uncestry of tho mosquito. Your
magnifier will help you to see things
which to those unacquainted with In
sect life may seem very strange.
Tho mosquito, like nil true Insects,
has b!x legs. If you will look closely,
you will see that tho muscles which
move the Joints do not cover the skel
eton, but nrt Insldo this framework,
which Is not made of bone, but a horn
like substance culled chitin.
The whole .body Is made, up of joints,
of" which the abdomen contains ten.
The two wings uro very gauzy and
have a very delicate framework of
tubes. They nre nboiit the same
length ns the abdomen' and nre hori
zontal. Uexldes the ,slx Ions legs and other
npiieiulages, there nre two plumed an
teume( fir feelers, ou . the head, pro-JiHl-
forward tind outward, and a
prulxeis Inclosing from two to six
sharp lances to line that their com
bined points nre smaller than that of
n small necdlo. I. Ike other iiuccts,
the mosquito does not grow after leav
ing tlio piqm cane,
A gentleman once nsked the writer
why all mosquitoes appeared to be ma
ture since all were nlvout the same
size.
This Is the reason:
The mother mosquito when ready to
lay her eggs flies away to the quiet
fresh water nnd, npiorting herself on
l-hcr four front legs, ut;es her bind legs
to arrange lier nest for tho eggs In the
ferSi of n little boat nnd then leaves
tlit-iii flnnting in the water. In n few
days. If the weather Is warm, tho egg
linleh n minute grub (not a little mos
quito), coming out of the Nittom of
each egs. These grub en t ravenous
ly, feeding on microscopic animals and
plants, nnd In a few days we find our
rainwater barrel swarming with "wig
glers." During tho fortnight of exlsience tn
the larval state tho little grub remains
almost constantly with hend down-'
ward miir the surface of the water, so
that It may rench the air by a little
tul.e attached to the end of Jt tall.
Tire air taken in through this tube cir
culates all through the body to purify
the blood, for the mosquito, like most.
Insects, Bus no lungs.
Many of the males cut nothing ex
cept during this period, but the males
are very short lived. Only the fe
males suck our blood, and, ns compar
atively few of them ever get blood to
eat, the remainder of them live ou the
Juices of plants, as do some of the
males, wlikh nr a little longer lived
tl.as tli other '
After about two weeks of the merry
life of wigL-fc' waggles, during which
they shed their skins "two or three
times, these little grubs drop their
heads down lbto the abdomen and
partly roll themselves tip and arc soon '

covered with a thin, skin called the
pupa case.
During this comparatively lnaetlvo
period of their lives wonderful changes
are wrought Tho six long legs, tho
two membranous wings, tho two beau
tiful feathery Jointed antennae and the
proboscis, with Its minute lunees, grow
out, and many internal changes taks
place. What an Interesting sight It
would bo to see these changes go on
Hut the littlo fellow is now securely
wrapped In his delicate covering, wit
two tubes projecting from bis back to
let In air. The future mosquito can
be seen through this thin covering, but
the view Is not a very satisfactory one.
The pupa state last about a week.
Finally, when the mosquito has fully
matured In its fafrylike bome and be
come somewhat lighter than water, it
rises so that It projects a little above
tho water.
The delicate covering bursts on the
protruding back and forma a mlnlu
turo boat, out of which the mosquito
thrusts its bead with Its appenduges,
its wings and front pair of legs. It
must now take time to straighten and
dry its legs and wings. This is a exit
leal time, for the slightest .agitation of
the water would capsize Its little boat,
and it would drown,
Now it places Its front foot upon the
surface of the water and with a slight
struggle frees Its long abdomen and
the remaining pairs of legs from ths
pupa case and tiles away, a fully de
veloped mosquito.
It goes flying from flower to flower,

In life. Out, as said above, compara
tively few mosquitoes enjoy the lux
ury of buma-n or other animal blood.
We sometimes think we have ail the
mosquitoes In existence In our Imme
diate neighborhood, forgetting that
there are countless millions of them
which arc never permitted to prey upon
uuiinnl flesh.
The bite of a mosquito would be less
troublesome were it not for the irri
tating poison injected by the insect.
In its mature state tho life of a mos
quito is very short, some of the males
living only a few hours. As the female
lays from 250 to 800 eggs and as the
whole time for the development of the
Insect from the egg Is only about twenty-five
days, when the daughter may
lay another group of eggs, a single fe
male may have a progeny of millions

where tho mosquito Is so prevalent.
bulls and other animals are known to
bury themselves In the mud to escape
the bite of the insect. These animals
leave only their noses protruding above
tho mud so as to enable them to
breathe. Eirds that are fond of mos
quitoes have lecn known to go and
sit upon the noses of these animals
and eat the offending mosquitoes as
they attempted to enter the nostrils of
the suffering beasts.
There arc many' species of mosqui
toes, but each species very closely re
sembles tlio others.
There Is another insect called the
tipul.i, which Is sometimes designated
as tho grand fat her of all mosquitoes,
but it belongs to another genus, though
it does resemble tho mosquito in form.
Mosquitoes are found In sll habitable
parts of the world. The gold seekers
of the Klondike arc very much an
noyed by them. Dr. Itesncls when on
lioard the I'olarls was so troubled by
them' in Davis' strait, 300 miles north
of the arctic circle, that he was fre
quently obliged to cease his observa
tions, and great numbers of them have
been seen (loo miles farther north.

Whilo I lie horror of the prospect is
still upon one, they leave this dizzy
height and travel down hill until ere
long you are by tho side of the
stream that you were viewing under
such a disadvantage, a short time be

which -looked so placid is a foaming
mountain torrent, making such a
noise as it rushes madly over" atones
and pieces of fallen limber that one
can scarcely hear his own voice when

IMKBU'A'S PLACE AS A NATION.
That our self reiect may be in
creased the following eHlmate of tho
American people la reproduced.
It
is the opinion of ths French noble
man, Marquis Carlo di Hudini, who
was interviewed In Paris, France
about April llth: "Surprise express
ed by some, of my Kurojiean friend
on learning that next month I sbnil
make another visit to the United
States has Inspired me with a wish
to correct fatso impressions which
nun.eroui well-educsletl Frenchmen
Russian, Uermans, and even English
men entertain respecting that de
lightful country and It jieoplo.
"It is astonishing how many well-
nformed Europeans consider the
United States as a sort of semi-savage
country, as yet unformed, and which
needs the refining Influence ol Euro
pean Intercourse to complete Its
civilization. To be exact, the United
States represents the highest civiliza
tion In the world of to-day, untram
meled by any of the weighty tradi
tions which impede the progress of
other nations. Jn the American-
civilization there Is nothing useless,
nothing superfluous. Profiting by
the experience of older nations, and
animated by an unquenchable desire
for pre-eminence on all points, the
American nation Impresses one as a
great power composed of all that is
newest and best.
"I do not in the least agree with
those old continental croakers who
talk about signs of decadence in the
United States, before it has, like
European nations which are on the
downward path, reached the greatest
heights of power. To my mind such
condition of decadence as that
which 'has preceded down the Latin
civilization is impossible in America
because of the quality which I have
already mentioued in the American
race of perpetual forwardness the
building up of something forever.
"Institutions, like houses, in Amer
ica will never be allowed to get so
old as to be dangerous. Wheti they
begin to show signs of sliabbiness
and no longer come up to the require
ments of the times, they are done
away with and aomellilng better
takes its place.
In business the American strikes
me as devoid of that spirit of Intrigue
and personal sentimentality which
animates the European under (like
circumstances. The American man
is marvelously tempered for the bat
tle he bus to wage in the field of
business, and Inclined, I think, to lie
hard. But in his social relations, in
his home and club life, I find him
the most charming fellow, stanch
and sincere, and absolutely childlike
iu his ingenuousness. It Is delight
ful an American man of 30 is igore
boyish than a European lad of 19,
and more experienced than our men
of 60.
"In the United States woman is the
companion, the associate, the friend,
the wife of man she is never his
plat--thing. I was struck by the
wholesome contempt of tbejaverage
American man for the woman of
doubtful status. He realizes that if
he is to hold his own In the strenu
ous existence about, him ho must
keep a clear head and a sound pulse.
"The American woman isthemont
glorious production of the American
civilization. No means are spared
to perfect the American girl's educa
tion, no money lacking to purchase
suitable adorument'for her srsun.
Is it to be wondered at when she
comes over here and takes her place
like ono to the manner born among
ths flowers of ourold aristocracy?
"It is not necessary for an American
woman lo marry a title to be received
among the aristocracy abroad. Her
grace, her charm, her Indeitendence,
her perfect poise aud assurance will
open any door for her, aud I think
that she Is beginning to realize this.
A duke or a prince may be proud to
nave an American girl for his wife,
but it were batttr could he feel al
ways (bat be had won her because
he was a man and she loved him,
than because he was a nobleman."
