Whole Nations Have Been Weakened by These Perilous Foes. Our Instinct to kill insects Is per fectly sound. Out of the 250,000 spe cees now known to science a mere handful are even remotely helpful to man, and most of these only by their power of living upon other and more dangerous Insects. On the other hand, thousands of species are actively hos tile to mlan, to his food plants and to his domestlc aniimals. Whole tribes have been swept out of existence by the attack of insects carrying bacilli-as within the last two decndes in central Africa, by the dread "sleeping sickness" cnrripd by the tsetse fly. Whole nations have been weakened anid crippled and whole clvilizations retarded by another Insect borne disease, mairin. Indeed. recent investigators have ad vnneed the theory that the historic de cline of both Gi reece and Itome was lIargely due to the rn 'ages of this dis ease, brought into Europe by armies returning from wars in Asia and Af rica. It may yet come. when we see (lhngs In their true perspective, that the warriors of civilized notions will turn from slaughtering one another to 1attling against our insect etianmies.

The following is told as one. of the Illustrations of this: When Napoleon. In the spring of 1799. was lying before Acre he was anxious for tiews from upper Egypt, whither lie had dispntched Dessaix in pursuit of a distinguished Mameluke leader. Not many days after .a cour tier arrived with favorable dispatches. favorable in the main. but reporting one tragical occirrence on i 'small scale that to Napoleon outweighed the pubice prosperity. The comintnder as a brave ian felt that any fate that awalted him would be better than to fall into the hands of the enemny, Ile set tire to the pow. der magazine. The vessel blew uli and the crew perished. For all this Napoleon cnred little. but one solitary fact that was in the report which struck him with secret alarm-this Ill fated bont was called L'Italle. and in the name of the vessel Napoleon read an augury or the fate which had befallen the Italian terri tory. Ile felt certain that Italy was lost, aid Napoleon was Inconsolable. But what possible connection. it was asked. cnn exist between this vessel on the Nile and a remote peninsula of southern Europe?

According to M. i"riedmJAn, a Ger man traveler ind historian recently re turned from the Kongt. there 's a tribe of natives down in one of the interior parts of that region actually so stuffed all of the tine with food. three or four times as much as they have any need of, that they are c1tinua'lly in a dull ndll almost unintelligent stupor. 'T'hey do little besides sleep ind eat. They are too lazy to do any iiulivbital hitling. utal It is the disliked aid i un popular member of the fintily that is forced to do the foodtl proviing for the reltivt's. The wonen are quite as lazy as the mien and wolk only when it is absolutely tee'ssairy to eat. The only Itie when the natives rouse themselves is it tarriage or at de(t Ii. iloth of these occasions are cel ebrated by enting more tin on ordi iary ocsions even. and the after ef fects of both events are often disas trolls, as one or two of the party are sure to eat so omnch as to lie seriously ind often fatally sl'k. which only means another celebratlion of it dilfer ent kind.
