CHURCH MATTERS,

Meanwhite, however, belief in the connection between malaria and mosquitoes was gaining ground. Dr. Robert Koch, who studied the subject in German East Africa," although he had arrived at no certain conclusions, and could not as yet go beyond conjecture, was, nevertheless, of opinion that there remained, so far as tropical malaria was concerned, only two agents for the conveyance of infection which needed to be seriously considered. These were drinking wer and mosquitoes, and he inclined to the opinion that the latter was the chief and probably the only factor. He writes: Wherever one tums, one finds.a local and a seasonal relationship, hetween the existence of tropical malaria and the presence of mosquitoes..... Among mountains indaria stops exactly where there are no longer any mosquitoes. In the interior of countries mala rin diminishes where uosquitoes diminish At the times of the year when mosquitoes abound malarial fevers are most frequent.
