enabled him to grasp a situation quickly and to act quickly with an unerring
Judgment rb to tho result.
It was energy supplemented by efficiency that led Mr. Trumbull rapidly
up from n clerkship in tho freight ofllco of tho Missouri, Kansas & Texas
railway at Scdalla, Mo., whero he received $45 a month when ho was not
yet 10. When 21 ho was chief clerk nt a salary of ?17G a month. At 23 ho
hnd ,170 men under him In the freight claim and accounting dopartmont of
the Missouri Pacific. In 14 years ho hnd mastered every detail in that depart
Then ho did n remarkable thing. Ho gave up railroading for ilvo years. Ho
went into tho coal business In Colorado. Hero ho paw his chance to study
tho shipper's end of tho great game. Incidentally ho was engaged In making
reports on railroads and other properties to New York nnd Loudon bankors.
In 1893 thero wns a bitter light In Denver over railroad matters. Tho courts
guvo tho Donvor & Gulf railroad, then a part of tho Union Pnclflc, a sepa
rate existence. This road becamo tho Colorado & Southern. All tho lighting
factions wcro given a week to agreo on a recolvor. On tho last night of tho
week, whon six names wcro under discussion, they agreed on Frank Trumbull.
And hero begins a Btory us wonderful as that or Aladdin or any magician who
ever said "Presto!" When Frank Trumbull took hold of tho road 10 yearo
ago, It was a local oro lino In Colorado, a-illtlo moro than a thousand miles
long, and Its principal assets were "two streaks of rust and a right of way."
It was bankrupt and lii the hands of a receiver. Four months later camo tho
great Dobs strike of 1894. But tho Colorado & Southern of to-day Is nearly
3.000 miles long nnd the reports of 1908, 15 years after, show earnings of
$15,000,000, and Frank Trumbull is Its president.
NEW MINNESOTA GOVERNOR
Soon aftetr his graduation, howovor, Mr. Eber
hart abandoned church work nnd took up the study of law in tho ofllco of
Judge Grny at Mankato, IiIb homo town. He was successful as nn attorney
and soon, built up n large practice.
Ho was at one time clerk of tho United States circuit nnd district courts,
and later was United Stntcs commissioner for the district of Minnesota. In
1903 ho turned his nttention to an elect! vo ottlco and "was elected to the state
senate. In 1905 ho was re-elected. In 1900 ho was elected lleutennnt-gover-nor
nnd was re-elected In 190S. H1b majority was almost as high In 1906 as
Johnson's.
Mr. Eborhnrt'B name orlglnnlly was Olson. Hut there woro In Mankato
during his resldenco thero half n dozen or moro Adolph Olsons, nnd as a
result many Instances of confusion of Idontlty occurred, not tho least of these
being errors In the delivery of lmportnnt mall. So when tho futuro state
ofllclal was married ho asked the court to permit him to tnko'tho name of
his wife, a petition that was granted, and Blnco then he has been Adolph O.
Eberhart.

TH ANATOMY Of A StOJQUlTO
THE scientists in tho Borvlco
of tho United Stntes and tho
Btates which aro waging war
on tho mosqutto have discov
ered n new mothod of exter
minating tho pest. Tills
mothod consists In propagating nnd
distributing a parasitic worm which
lodges In tho body of tho mosquito
nnd kills it or chocks its cgg-lnylng
powers.
It hns for several yoars been recog
nized, that tho mosquito in ono of tho
worso public enomlofl of tho American
people. Upward or 15,000 deaths, oc
cur from malnrla, which is spread by
tho mosquito alono. This ilguro doos
not count tho vast number of people
wnoso systems nro weakened by inn
lnrla and thus easily succumb to oth
or diseases. Tho discomfort caused
by tho mosquito In many parts of tho
country Is nlso a gravo Injury to pros
perity. Theroforo, anything which
tends to oxtcrmlnato thoMnosquitaJs
of lmmcnso public benefit.
How greatly soino regions arp In
need of relief from mosquitoes haa
Just been shown by tho dispatches
from Chonler mi TIgro, a largo nnd
fertile Island In tho Guir, off Now Or
leans. Tho mosquitoes thero havo bred
in such quantities thnt the inhabi
tants havo been forced to keep in
doors altogether, whllo tho cattlo hnvo
been killed by tho mosquitoes filling
up their nostrils ami throats nnd cho
king them.
Tho now worm which kill tho mos
quito is known to science as agomer
mis mllols monnlng "roundworm or
tho mosquito" and Is recognized us n
destructive parasite oi tho wicked In
sect. It Is also called tho "hairworm"
In many places on account or its re
semblance to a small hair. It spends
at least part ot Its lire In tho holly of
tho mosquito, and, In tho enso of tho
female, whon It does not kill her, It
prevents her from reproducing her
species a result equally satisfactory.
Very llttlo Is known of tho llfo his
tory or tho worm, or how it spondB
tho early stages or Its existence. It is
a now discovery. It wag first found
and identified, only a short tlmo ago,
by Dr. John B. Smith, who, ns onto
mologlst nttnehed to tho New Jerspy
agricultural experiment station, nt
New Brunswick, haB chargo of tho
mosquito survoy of his stato, which
iiaB a wide-spread roputation for pro
ducing a roninrkablo crop of mosqui
toes. Thoro nro, as Is well known, many
species of moBquitoos In Now Jerseyr
But tho worst of them nil, so far as
ability to annoy goes, is tho bruto
with striped legs. This Is tho real and
original "Jersey mosquito." It breeds
In marshes,' though It Hies" thonco for
great distances, and scientific mon
know It ns "culex sollcltnns."
Nocessarlly, this species cuts n very
largo ilguro In the problem which Dr.
Smith is engaged in tnckllng. With
n view to studying Its llfo history In
detail, ho has built on a marsh a cago
of wlronet, with a framework of scant
ling, big enough for himself to occu
py. In this cago ho has reared tho
marsh mosquitoes, watching thorn
through all tho stages or their de
velopment, In tho midst or their nat.
ural surroundings. Iucldontally, ho
has subjected many specimens to mi
croscopic examination, to find out how
tho egg-sacs or tho femnles dcvoloped.
and other such points.
On a number or occasions, whllo
thus Btudylng tho romnlo Insocts, ho
noticed thnt their nbdonicns Boomed
abnormally enlarged. Finally, his
curiosity being aroused by thin phe
nomenon, ho toro open tho belly or
ono or tho Insects, and found Insido
of It two-halr-liko worms nbout a third
or an inch long, nnd nothing else.
They woro something now to him,
and so ho sent tho worms to the gov
ernment helmlnthologlst signifying
"worm man" in Washington.
Tho worm man, Dr. Charlos Wardoll
Sthes, promptly identified them as
"round worms" or tho kind populnrly
known ns "hair worms" or "wiro
worms." Ho nlso gavo them tho long
Latin namo already montloned, nnd
said that they woro undoubtedly para
sites ot tho mosquito." But hi tho
moantlmo Dr. Smith had started in to
examino largo numbers or mnrsh mos
quitoes ror worms. In n lot thnt wns
Bent In rrom Barnegat bay ho round

tion received at tho experiment sta
tion rrom Hnritnn river to Capo May
yielded numerous worms.
Ho thinks It beyond doubt thnt tho
pnraslto shortens the llfo or tho mos
quito " It lnrccts though this, or
course, is a mattor unimportant com
pared to tho prevention or reproduc

THE WAY A VCLLOW rVR

One nftornoon. nt Annlosen. Dr. Smith
occupied himself for an hour in cap
turing marsh mosquitoes that camo to
blto him, nnd found that fully hair or
thorn were infected.
On the othor hand tho infected in
socts wcro nojlcenbly sluggish and
easily recognized by their actions and
appoarancoB ns diseased. Investiga
tion showed that they woro lonst nu
merous In places whero tho worms
wcro most common. Evldontly, then,
tho worma nro ugcntB of nnturo for
keeping mosquitoes In check to a cor-
tain extent. They do tho work with
grcnt effectiveness. It only remains
to bo ascertained whother their tr
flelency In this lino enn bb important
ly increased by artificial means.
In other words, 1b It prnctlcablo to

troduce them Into mosquito-cursed
places? Tho first thing to bo done,
obviouBly, In mnjtlng such an attempt,
Is to obtain deflnlto nnd exact knowl

nothing Is known ns yot on this shh.
Joct, thoro is a good deal that can bo
interred with reasonable certainty.
For oxnmplo, thoro is hardly any ques
