Salt Marshes Furnish Principal Part
of Pest and as Thsy Are Large
and Voracious Feeders They
Make Live a Burden.
Paterson, N. J. The salt marshes
along the coast furnish the principal
part of the mosquito plague in most
of the New England states. Contrary
to the habits of most mosquitoes,
those of the salt marsh species fly in
land long distances, and as they are
large and very abundant, and are vora
cious feeders they Make life a burden
to many Inhabitants. There are two
species of mosquitoes which breed
abundantly on the salt marshes and
which are commonly called the brown

The Brown Salt Marsh Mosquito.
salt inarth. mosquito and the banded
salt murt.h mosquito.
The brown species breed upon the
marsh ear! In the season, going long
distances inland in search of food.
About July first, it is almost wholly
replaced by the banded species, which
remains during the rest of thu season.
The general me' hods of mosquito
control are: fit A draining of the
marshes; (2) oiling the breeding
pools, and (3 screening of all rain
water receptacles. The first draining
is the method which should be used
for the permanent control of the mos
quito nuisance; the second may be
employed temporarily until draining
can be done, and the third should re
ceive attention each year.
Where mosquito larva or wrigglers
aire found In any pool, they may be
killed in a few minutes by spreading a
film of oil over ibe surface of the
water. It Is necessary for the larrae
to come to tin surface about once
each two minutes to breathe, and the
oil not only prevents the air from en
tering their respiratory system, but
also enters their breathing tubes, de
stroying the tissues, and they soon
die. The oil must be applied about
ouce each ten (toys to keep the pool in
a safe non-breeding condition For
this purpose ordinary kerosene, which
can be purchased front any grocer,
will answer. Some prefer a heavier
oil, called light furl oil.
Oiling, at its Inst, is but a tem
porary expedient, and should be prac
ticed on the salt marshes only until
the marshes can be drained. In mid
summer the tall vegetation often ob
Rcures many email breeding places,
and likewise m:ik-s it difficult to dis
tribute the oil on the surface of the
water, where needed, most of It strik
ing the vegetation.
A convenient method of applying oil
Is by means of small compressed air
sprayers with cylinders of galvanized

& pressure pump and will hold about
ten and one-half gallons of liquid. It
may be carried in the hand or held by
a strap thrown over the shoulder.
Such an outfit, including short pieces
of hose with nozzle, may be purchased
for about $4.50. A two-foot extension
rod Is almost a necessity and costs
35 cents extra. Where large areas
are to be treated barrels of oil should
be distributed at various convenient
points. In or around the marsh. The
amount of oil to be applied is one
fluid ounce to each 13 square feet of
water surfnee. A less quantity will
ofec fall to kill the wrigglers.
WHEN HE MADE GOOD
By JOHNSON W. BITTMAN.
"When are you ever going to make
good? When are you ever going to do
an. -thing? When are you ever going
to justify your birth and breeding and
ar.cc-.itry?"
A.nl the girl, stamped her pretty
foot hard on the yielding turf.
The big fellow in tho gray outing
flannels settled back in the hammock
and turned his patrician face to the
questioner.
"liy. jove! you're getting prettier
every day, coz," he said.
' "I don't want your compliments or
your praise, Herbert Rollins," she re
plied with blazing eyes. "I want you
to answer my question."
The man drew "the makings'' from
his pocket and began slowly to roll a
cigaret.
"What's the use?" he asked.
"Use!" she exclaimed. "What are
you living for?"
The girl looked at him scornfully.
"Now, look here, Nell," he said,
throwing the cigaret away. "I have an
ample fortune, thanks to the wisdom
and industry of my respected grand-
falher. I don't spend my income
can't spend it. Why in the name of
goodness should 1 bother my mind
with money-making? Why should I
harry myself with all the work n'eccs
sary to a successful professional ca
reer when I do not need the emolu
ments which would crown it in the
very doubtful event that I succeeded
especially when there are so many
good fellows who were less successful
in their choice of a grandfather and
who are compelled to do these things
in order to live? There is no in
centive." "Incentive!" exclaimed the girl very
pale. "I'll tell you one thing, Herbert.
It has been an understood thing in the
family that I am to marry you. I want
to tell you now that I never will marry
such a useless butterfly as you in the
world. I'll marry a coal heaver first."
Holiins looked steadily at her for a
minute. Then ho arose and took her
unwilling hand.
"Perhaps it is best so, Nell," he said
gravely. "I don't know but we would
worry each other intolerably. It will
raise Cain with Uncle Charley and
your mother, but"
"What is that, llert?" interrupted
the girl, pointing to the surf.
Ho turned lazily and looked over
the sun-lit water.
Instantly his entire attitude changed.
He was alive with interest, with pur
pose, with power.
"Great heavens, it is Julia!" he ex
claimed. "And she is out far over her
depth and cannot swim a stroke. I
have been teaching her to float and
Bhe's let the current carry her out. If
she tries to touch bottom she'll get
frightened and drown."
While he was talking he had peeled
to his trousers and undershirt and
pulled off his shoes, and before Miss
Nellie fairly knew what was going oa
be had plunged into the surf and wai
making great strokes toward the tiny
head bobbing In the water.
Aa the girl on the shore watched
him do these things with the rapidity
of thought and noted his splendid self
poise and perfect proportions a grate
ful sense of satisfaction pervaded her.
"All he needs is the spur of neces
sity," she said. "And I'll see that he
gets that My, but he's a splendid fel
low." Of a sudden the girl floating far out
gave a piercing shriek and the head
disappeared. Rollins had nearly
reached her. He shouted to her to
float for a minute and he would reach
her. But the panic was in her, and
she heard nothing As she reappeared
on the Burface she shrieked again.
Out from the cottages and from the
hotel people rushed to the beach. Nel
lie held her breath in horror. Rollins
was fairly leaping through the water.
"I never saw swimming like that,"
said one of the men who was helping
shove the emergency boat .into the
water. "I think he'll get her."
Nellie looked at the man and smiled
gratefully. All about the people were
commenting on the force and power
of the man who seemed to be fairly
shooting through the water.
There Is a heart-breaking minute or
two and then the strong swimmer
comes up and clutched tightly bv the
hair he haa the form of the Insensible
girL
It was a long and a hard swim, with
the heavy burden, before the men with
the boat picked them up. And when
they reached the shore a dainty girl
stood clear down to the edge where
the swell of the water washed her
ankles. As Rollins stepped from the
boat unsteady from his great exertion,
she cried:
"Bert, you are splendid. I take ft
all back. Tou are the hero of my
dreams."
He regarded her inscrutably tor a
moment Then, leaving the uncon
scious form of the girl in the boat to
he Cared for bV the Wllllne hvatanrfara
he took Nellie's hand and led her back
to the trees.
"Nell," he said, brokenly, "dont von
seel It's hard to exnlaln hnt hnt
you released me a few moments ago.
I ain't your kind. I've known it for
years. You like me now, for a minute
because I happen to have been able
to do a little something snectaeular.
Buc that Is not the basis of love."
He paused a minute and looked .
little sheepish. Then he threw bark
his square shoulders and faced her.
"Anyway," he said, "I am going to
marry Julia Manning next month. I-
you it oh. thunder, good-bye."
And be fled.
