FISH TO DESTROY MOSQUITOES Finny Tribe from Barbadoes Will Be Uccd for This Purpose on Panama Canal". Washington. Undo Sam is Import ing fish into tho Panama canal zone now to cat up tho mosquitoes thero beforo tho latter cat up his nico'now canal. According to tho Panaman officials, tho flsh employed by tho govornraont to ent up the pesky Httlo Btlngors are popularly known as "millions" nnd less popularly known In tho city direc tory of flshdom ns "Glrardlnus poecll oldes," nnd aro natives of Barbadoca West Indies. Those fish belong- to the grouf broadly known ns top mlnnowB, sc called from nlways feeding at or near tho surfaco of tho water, for which tho structuro of their mouth and habit of swimming, with n large portion ol their back out of water, adapts them This habit, In connection with theii small size, is of espocial value, as It enables them to secure their food by pursuing It ncross plants nnd masses of algao over which thero is only a thin film of water. They derive their namo from tho groat schools In which they aro found, aro small, never over ono nneV one-half inches long, and arc found In stagnant, sluggish nnd run ning wator, olther fresh or brackish. Tho group to which thoy bolong Is omnivorous, but It has been discov ered that If mosquito larvao aro ac cessible tho "millions" will eat It In preference to other food, and thoy are said to eat tho adult mosquito also.' They ascond streams against a swift current nnd ponetrato into tho small est rivulets. Tho species is vivipar ous; that is, their young aro born nllv'o und not hatched from eggs. This aids in tholr rnpld multiplication, as tho young, rnpldly-movlng fish nro less exposed to enemies than they would bo if hatched from eggs. They arc hardy and stand transportation well. Tho absenco of malaria In Barba does has been attributed to tho pros onco of theso fish, by tholr dostrue tlon of tho larvao of malaria carrying mosquitoes. REASON FOR SWINGING ARMS. la a Reminder of the Days When We Walked on All Fours, Says Scientist. London. Sir Victor Horsley, lectur ing boforo a medical Bocloty, explained the habit of swinging tho arms when walking. Ho said It was unnecessary and a relic of days when wo walked on nil fours. Ho said wo still keop on moving nil four limbs alternately whon wo wnlk upright. Sir Victor sot forth somo ideas con cerning tho functions of tho cere'bol lum. Primarily tho cerebellum must bo regarded, said tho lecturer, as an organ which has an Important pnrt In correct performnnco of many of our automatic actions. Walking, standing, running aro ex amples of such actions, ho Bald, which cannot bo accurately carrlod out with out normal, woll-balnncod corobollum. New-born animals, ho said, cannot stand. Thoy sprawl, and boforo thoy enn stand or wnlk or run thoro muBt bo a dovolopmont of tho corcbollura. In proof of this Sir Victor pointed out that tho cerobcllum of u full grown cat Bhowod fully dovoloped colls and fibers, whereas In tho brains of now-born kittens this portion Is not yot organized luto active norro tissues.
