LECTURE BY PROF. H. B. WARD.
The Responsibility of the Mosquito in the Transmission of Discase.
The New Jersey specter has been long suspected but it was only in 1899 that medical men actually proved mosquitoes guilty of passing around the germs of malaria and 1900 when it was established that it was also responsible for the dissemination of yellow fever microbes.
In his lecture he said that there were four principal diseases which were directly transmitted by mosquitoes-leprosy, yellow fever and malaria, and in the tropics, elephantiasis.
Prof. H. B. Ward of the Universitid of Nebraska lectured Thursday night before the Sigma Xi fraternity and their invited guests. Dr. Snow, in his happy way, introduced the speaker and revealed the interesting fact that Mr. Ward's father and himself were formerly school fellows at Williams. Mr. H. B. Ward himself graduated at Williams in 1885 and later took his Ph. D. degree at Harvard. He has been at Nebraska twelve years and is at present professor of Zoology and dean of the Medical school. Dr. Ward is a recognized authority on parasitical worms and his lecture Thursday night revealed a fund of knowledge concerning mosquitoes and diseases transmitted by them.
The mouth parts of the mosquito are mainly instrumental in a transmission of the disease microbes. The germ is imbedded in the inner lining of the proboscis of the insect. When the mosquito begins his ghoulish meal upon a healthy victim. The incasementin which the germ is imbedded is ruptured and the microbe thrust into the wound. Science has not yet accounted for this latter phenomenon for it seems impossible that the mosquite should deliberately injure itself even to get rid of such a troublesome guest as the yellow fever microbe. The danger of infection from mosquitoes can be avoided if their breeding places can be destroyed. Rain barrels and small pools of stagnant water are the places in which the eggs are laid. Prof. Ward earnestly recommended the abolishment of everything of that nature. He ascribed the healthy condition of Havana to the fact that the swampy places in the city had been leveled and the barrels of stagnant water cleared away.
Dr. Ward referred to the work of Grassi in Italy. In a certain district of that country the average life of the railroad employee was but two years.
In a mosquito country the inhabitants should protect themselves by good screens on the doors and mosquito netting about the bed at night.

THE EDITORS V. SIT K. U.
Prof. Carruth Addresses the Association
Last Thursday morning the State Editorial Association visited the University in a body. From 8 to 10 the newspaper men and women looked over the campus and visited the various buildings. The liquid air plant was put in operation for their inspection, the X-ray machine was on exhibition and the shops and museum were thrown open for the examination of the visitors.
At 10 o'clock the Association attended the chapel services, where J. H. Atwood of Leavenworth addressed the editors and students. Mr. Atwood first threw several boquets at the students, at any rate called them the "flower" of the student body of Kansas. The speaker went on to say that it was the custom for men in his position to give advice to students and said that he was willing to give them the 'brand' they desired. He reviewed the present commercial tendencies in man's idea of success and while admitting that the quest of material benefits should not be forgotten, begged that the higher things of life should be given a higher place.
Mr. Atwood is a very eloquent and forceful speaker and his address was one of the best that the University students have heard in Fraser hall.
After the chapel exercises, the association held its morning session in the chapel and Col. D.R Anthony addressed the newspaper men.
Prof. Carruth addressed the Editorial association Monday night on "The University and the Newspaper." He spoke about the close relation between the public school system and the newspaper. The professor explained the real status of the present course in journalism, which the university has begun. At the close of his talk he mentioned the names of a number of former university men and women who are doing successful newspaper work. Among them are Messrs Scott, McLennan, Harrington, Morgan, White, Charles, Flint, Finch, Hall, Learnard, Hudson, Bennet, Whitman, Shot, Stout, Shellbarger, Edson, Clifford, Post, Barcus, Krehbiel and Misses Riddle, Rhinehart, Johnson and Beck.
EXPERIMENTS IN STATISTICS.
Professor Boynton's class in statistics have been requested to make a comparative study and to tabulate the statistical census of the Sunday school attendance of this city. The boys will start upon the work Monday. As it is an opportunity to apply to a practical test the theories studied the class has gladly undertaken the work.
ATHLETICS
K. U. MEDICS 32-HASKELL 28.
Friday night, Feb. 5th, the basket ball team of the medical school of K.U. and one of the Indian teams from Haskell played a rather close, though not very good game in the university gymnasium. The Indians had the better of it in the first half, but the medies won by 32 to 28.

The base ball men are beginning to work out regularly in the gymnasium. Capt. Sexton expresses himself as well satisfied with the amount of available material that is showing up. A much larger freshman squad than usual is making application for places on the team and the prospects for a good team are growing much brighter. Among the old men who are practicing are Allen, Morgan, Woodford, Love, besides Capt. Sexton.
"The complete base ball schedule," says Manager Plank, "will be arranged shortly." The games between Missouri and Kansas will be played the last week of school, the games at Columbia coming the last week in May, and the Lawrence games the first week in June.

UNIVERSITY ORCHESTRA.
The concert by the University orchestra at Fraser hall, on Friday, February 19th, will be a new departure in the musical life of the town. The orchestra is composed entirely of student and younger members of the faculty and comprises twenty performers, representing nearly all the instruments of a symphony orchestra. They play classical and popular music and their program will present selections from the great masters as well as lighter music. The orchestra has played twice at Friday morning exercises and won great favor from the audiences. On the 19th Mrs. Blanche Lyons will sing with complete orchestral accompaniment, Haydn's aria "With Verdure Clad," from "The Creation." Souvenir programs will be given in honor of the first public appearance of the new organization.
