 The Revue Sc.entifque announces the dis coyery of 8 beetle, named Cetonia aurata, which is to render unnecessary all the knowledge gained by Pasteur concerning the treatment of rabies. A Russian naturalist, Alexander Becker, is credited with having made known the properties of this invaluable bug, and as being the authority for the statement that in southern Russia it is the commonly recognized and always efficient antidote for rabies. All that is necessary for person to do, after having been bitten by mad dog, is to eat piece of bread in which a cetonia aurata is enveloped, and he will be secured against hydropnobia. The insect is said to be of metallic green color, with some white lines and spots upon it, and it is represented as common among the flowers, not only of southern Russia, but of nearly all southern Europe.
 One of the most remarkable sinecures in the history of Louisiana has been brought to light in the investigation by committee of
 
 the late Governor Louis Alfred Wiltz with John McEnery, the present governors broth CT, for the recovery Of lands given to the State by the federal government. Some of these lands are in sections of the State suD ject to overflow, and were given to Louisiana in aid of a levee and drainage fund. Others are arabic and timber lands, given in aid of education. But little trouble was required to designate and place these. Nevertheless McEnery was allowed hal: of all the land recovered, and when lands of the lowest class were confirmed to the State, McEnery, inst pad of placing his hal; interest in the area in question, settled his claim on lands O: the highest class. The committee find that McEnery formed a partnership with Colonel Bob Ingersou in Washington in or der to facilitate the movement of papers through the general land office under former admin :stra5ions. and Ingerson now holds some 900 acres of land in the parish of St. Jan es as part of his compensation.
 It is calmly announced that no further ac- tion VII be taken by the Empire Protective association to pr ,tect the misguided Third ofouuo 1ACAS. aOOuG clSn1 huhSI0u ol GAO strikers ae still unemployed, and many of them are utterly destitute. As long as the strike was under the control of s'the e-ecu- tive committee ard the resr'ar weekly al lowance was paid them the men had not much cause for complaint, but when this was stopped most o: them did not have money to buy meal. Their families were in want, and many O. them were in a: iears with their house rent. When the failure of the strike became apparent the owners Of the tenements lost their patience and clamored for their rent, and to satisfy their demands many of the men sold most os their house. hold and personal effects. Others, who had nothing to sell, were forced to leave their homes and take up whatever quarters they could find. The only thi lg which sustains them is the occasional contributions of friends and labor organizations which still continue to give little now and then in an swer to the appeals Of the men. Almost every day the wives of some of the strikers visit the companys office and beg that their husbands be taken back. They urge the long record os faithful work and promise that in future they will not allow their husbands to attend the meetings of the Car Drivers association. They plead, with tears in their eyes, for the sake of the ch:i- dren, who are hungry at home, that work of some kind be given their husbands.
