WORST MOSQUITOES. Excuse for the Prevalence of Them Anywhere. A despatch from Washington says: Members of the House Rivers and Harbors Committee were on Wed- nesday discussing the testimony of Sir William Willcocks,-the English engineer who built the Aesuan Dam on the Nile, in which he told how the problem. of the malarial mosqui- to along the Suez Canal had been solved. He testified before the com- mittee that at Khartoum, where the boats brought down the worst mos- quitoes in the world, "the drainage is so perfect there that now we fine @ man twelve shillings ($3) for every mosquito seen en his place." Sir William contended that there was no excuse for the prevalence of mos- quitoes anywhere. The people along the Suez Canal, he said, wrestled with the malarial mosquito until British enginzers provided modern drainage and disciplined these who tolerated mosquitoes on their prem- Ss.

A despatch from Quebec says: A remarkable case of the sudden re- covery of sight through being struck on the nose by a piece of wood is that of Mr. Henri R. Germain, an employe of the local agency of the Marine and Fisheries Department, who resides at Beauport. Mr. Ger- main has been practically blind for over two years past, following a se- vere attack of inflammatory rheu- matism. He was chopping wood at his home when a piece flew up and struck him on the bridge of the nose. This severed a vein, and as a result Mr. Germain lost much blocd; which was black in color.
