MOSQUITOES AND MALARIA.

A CONSULAR report illustrates what has already been accomplished in Italy in allaying the ravages of malaria there. The Mediterranean Railway company has equipped all stations and employees' houses in malarial districts with mosquito-proof screens, and those who are obliged to be out after nightfall are provided with mosquito-proof clothing. By this means the railway company has secured complete immunity for its servants and their families, even in the worst localities, as Battipaglia and San Nicola. Formerly an appointment to these districts meant little less than a death sentence, and no man could hope to have his family with him. The families have been perfectly healthy in these protected houses.—Med. Times.
