THE MOSQUITO PLANT.
On the 29th of last April we published a letter from Captain Larymore, R.A., ro. sident in Northern Nigeria, in which he described t'e u posed vir ues of a variety of bas 1, the ocimum viride, to which he
gave the name of the mosqui o plant,' and which was said to possess properties in- jurious or repulsive to these insects. "Cap: tain Larymore asserted tha” by placing two or three growing pots of the plant in cach room, and-along the windward & de of the verandah, a house could be kept p actically free from mosquitoes ; and, fürther, that a mosquito which he caught alive and 'tenderly enclosed within a leaf of the plant lost conscious.oss in, for seconds. Ho further told us that an infusion of the leaves is held, by the natives of Northern Nigeria, to be more efficacious than quinino as a remedy for malariai fever; and he suggested that the plant should be used in barracks in India, where he soldiers are not supplied with mosquito nets. Captain Larymore was followed, a day or two afterwards, by Sir George Birdwood, who wrote to the effect that allied basils have been known from time immemorial throughout India as a de- fence against mosquitoes and as a prophy- lactio in malarious districta, and who added that, when the Victoria Gardens ard Albert Museum were being constructed in Bombay, the men employed in them were so pestered by mosquitoes and suffered so much from malarious fover that, at the recommonda- tion of the Hindu manager, the whole bound- nry was planted with holy basil and withany other busils which were at hand, with the con- squence that the plague of mosquitoes was at once abated, and that fever altogether disappeared from among the resident gardeners and temporarily resident masons. Captain Larymoro mentioned that a growing specimen of the plant which he had suc- ceeded in bringing home alive had been accepted by the authorities at Kew; and
it
can hardly be a matter for surprise in
such circumstances, that these authorities have in the interval received letters from all parts of the world asking for seeds.
We cannot but fool some regret at being
compelled to announce that the expecta- tions founded upon the letters of Captain Larymore and of Sir George Birdwood are not likely to be fulfilled."
Sir William Thiselton-Dyer, the Director of Kew Gardons, has sent us for publica- tion a report upon the subject made to the Governor of Sierra Leone by Dr Prout, the principal medical officer of health to the colony. In this report Dr Prout has shown that the supposed ill-effects of the indicated basil upon mosquitoes are not produced; and that the insects live, thrive, and Feed,

plant, just as readily as they do under ordinary conditions. It will be observed. from the report that the experimenta described are all positive in their results, cud Luany sloto Sir W. T. Thiselton- Dyer tells us, they dispose conclusively of the belief that the basil in question possesses any real protective value. The evidence on which it was supposed to do so was, of course, entirely negative, and at most amounted to the fact that when
m
the plant was present, something which might have happened in its absence, was supposed not to happen. In the case of Bombay, of course, account must be taken of the probable effects of the very planting and other works which were in progress in drying up the pools'in which the larvae of mosquitoes breed; and it is quite possible that the alteration thus effected in the local conditions may have been quite suffi cient to explain the consequences which followed. However this may be, it is im possible not to sympathize with Dr Prout in his expressions of regret that statements calculated to lull people into falso security should have been published, since they may possibly lead to neglect of the only precautions by which real security can be obtained. Delusions about supposed rome- dies or prophylactics arise and take root in all countries; and there are many parts of England in which it is commonly believed that the fresh leaves of the. ash tree are distasteful to gnats," and will exclude in which
them from any bedroom a bough is suspended. It would, no doubt,
be posible to find many persons who would testify that they always hang up ash leaves in their rooms when they are procurable, and that in con- sequence guats nover bite them. The explanation of euch coincidences, even if they really occur, may, as Dr. Prout shows, be a perfectly simple one; and the ascor tainable facts may be quite insufficient to HONGKONG HOTEL CORRIDOR. justify belief in the efficacy of the supposed remedy. If such belief has been produced with reference to the basil, it can hardly long survive the very complete exposure of has been based. The destruction of idols is often painful to those who have trusted in them; but, in the present instance, it is clearly for the benefit of all inhabitants of malarious countries that they should be preserved from reliance upon a proceeding: which has been clearly shown to be absol utely useless.-The Times.

(You will note, Mr Editor, then called. that I do not italicise practically.' I re- frain from taking that stop because I do not wish to wound the susceptibilities of a courteous and critical contemporary.) But Mr Looker's announcement came upon the Court like a thunderclap, and caused Sir William Goodman, who was on the Bench, to elevate his wig almost forty-five degrees with his eyebrows and give voice to the ejaculation of surprise of the popular come.. dy man when he found anything fresh, I'll make a note of that." Whether Sir William's mind was, at the precise moment running on the comedy cannot be said, but everyone will agree that the exclamation was appropriate and that such a thing should be made a note of. No doubt, could the blind-eyed goddess of Justice, who is supposed to hang about the Court, some where, have been acon at the moment, would havo been caught sho
in beneath the act
of squinting from the bandago blindfolding her oyes and making a note of it too. Nobody can blamo Mr Looker for acting on behalf of both sides, if he can get both sides to pay him, but if such a practice becomes general it would rob the Court of a lot of Its interest for the public-and. the welfare of the public must be guarded at all costs. The days of sparkling passages at arms, such as the Attorney General sometimes indulges in when stirred up by the counsel on the other side, would be past; and for ever would be gone the quips and arrows tipped with stinging sarcasm and rousing invective that sometimes fly at random about the building, if a case was a one-man show. Such a thing should never be allowed to como to pues, and an urgent appeal should be made to Mr Looker not to do it again. Precedent is everything in a Court, and a solicitor should weigh things woll before he decides to make one.

The Chinese were not in his opin she formation of such a society in Houg ion, cruel; it was only ignorance that caus kong was not a day too soon. He referred od the acts of cruelty that had been expos- tó cases of cruelty which he had been told ed. The conditions under which they had occurred in bringing cattle-down in the lived tended to promote thoughtlessness, River Steamers, and thought the probability and the proper way to teach them to bo was that the reason of this cruelty was kind to animals was by educating them up, thoughtlessness on the part of the poople rather than prosecuting them. Only the inflicting the suffering Some time ago, other day he had seen a man fog a rick- when he was travelling through the Wost shaw coolie with a cane, for some reason or Indies, he saw & woman carrying some other, and if they wished to change fowls to market with their heads hanging people, they must first set them down. He spoke to her and told her it was examplo, for nothing tonded so much to a very cruel way to carry fowls, and asked brutalise a man as being treated as a brute would she like to be carried head down-himself. He thought kindness towards wards for a couple of miles. The woman fellow-men would be more likely to lead appeared outraged at the idea, but ho to kindness to animals, noticed she carried the fowls differently Mr E. H. Sharp, K.C.. seconded the after he passed on.
In the same way there resolution, and expressed his pleasure in had been a complaint in Hongkong about gross crucity to a pony, the animal being driven about all day, pulling a number of people in a cart, until it dropped down and nearly died. The Chineso driver, doubtlessly. thought as little about the pony as the Cockney, whom Mr Leitch was caricaturing in the pages of Punch years ago, thought about his horse.
When told that the animal might be driven thirty miles, but could not possibly be driven sixty miles, liu answered It's alright; I have bought two whips. His Excellency thought cruelty in many cases was due rather to unfeeling thoughtlessness than to deliberate cruelty, and the duty of this society was to stimulate the susceptibilities of thoughtless persons, and bring before them an appreciation of the fact that God, who had laid upon all animals the capacity to suffor, had also planted in the human breast the seeds of sympathy, pity, and
mercy,

doing so. He dealt with the carriage of cattle on the West River, where to prevent the animals lying down, their noses were tied up to portions of the junk on which they were being carried. When exposed to rough weather, as often happpened, somDe of the beasts fell down, and the suffering resulting could better be imagined than described. Those were some of the acts the society would be called on to suppress.
