Professor Lintner, the New York State en-.
tomolosist, has been making some interest,"
ing Investigations regarding the destruction
OF insects by electric lights. He confined
his examinations to . single light In Albany,
and used q microscope In his inspection of
the debris. he believes that the average
number of insects destroyed in night by q
single electric light Is 100000. He recog-
nized in this collection gnats, midgss, crane
files, and large number of plant bugs which
do great injury to vegetation. The light, he
thinks, will prove useful by reducing the in
scot pests, and the farmer with the cheap
ening of electric appliances may soon be able
snap his fingers at Jerry Rusk and other
bugologists who have never told him q REM
edy that would keep the bugs of his crops.
One of the most interesting results of the
professors observations, perhaps, Is the dis
covery that the electric light has no attrac-
tions for mosquitoes. Among 100000 in
sects he found not one of these.

A HUSTON NOTION.


The latest Boston notion is good one. It
is plan Of party organization and caucus
procedure which will be submitted to the
Republican city committee at Its meeting
this evening. Its most important features
relate to enrolment and the regulation of
nominations. Any voter can be enrolled
and admitted to the caucus on application,
when indoreed by three voters of his ward,
and the city committee is charged to offer
convenient opportunities for such enrolment.
But as guard against the admission of
names to the list that do not belong there,
the executive committee is empowered by a
two-thirds vote to erase any name on the
list. In the matter of nominations and bal
loting, the plan put in force
in ward II years ago is fol-
lowed. Ten or more enrolled voters
In a ward are privileged to send in to
the city committee list of candidates to be
voted for at the next ward caucus. These
prepared by the committee, and copies of all
nomination papers sent in must be posted in
the ward caucus rooms, SO that all can see
where the several candidates stand in the
matter of Endorsement. Besides these names
the official ballot must have blank spaces
where voters at the caucus can write In any
names they choose. This and no other ballot
can be counted. The voter in voting will
| check off the candidates of his choice as under
the Australian syetem. At the request of
one-fifth of the enrolled voters secret ballot
ing must be provided for. The plan further
| requires that statement of all moneys paid
out and the purposes for which they were
paid by the committee shall be prepared by
the treasurer and filed with the secretary be-
fore the second Monday in January of each
year, and shall be open to inspection by
members of the committee and by contribu'
tors to campaign funds, and the prohibition
of assessments upon candidates for Office.
| This ia in the liue of real reform. 1t is tc
be hoped that the plan will be tried.

At last weeks sitting of the Academy of
Medicine IL. Laborde of the Paris faculty
announced his discovery of q new anosthetic
which he calls crystalized narcein. A solu.
ton of this substance sends the patient into
a sound sleep free from vomiting or diges-
tive arrangement, and withou. subsequent
torpor. So far experiments have been con-
fined to rabbits.
Sir Henry De Burgh-Lawson thinks that
he will revolutionize naval construction by
his plan for constructing ships with three
keels, between which their bottoms : are
curved in combination with special internal
propellers, worked and housed in chambers
from which the water is partially excluded,
each propeller having separate set of ma
chinery, working independently of each 9TH
er. Sir Henry claims that rolling would be
almost prevented and that the ships power
of climbing waves would be immensely in
creased.
DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes gives this as
| an infallible prescription to insure long life:
Let half dozsn doctors thump you and
knead You and test you In every possible way
and render their verdict that you have an
internal complaint; they don't know exactly
what ii is, but it will kill you certainly by
and by. Then bid farewell to the world and
shut yourself up for an invalid. If you are
threescore years old when you commence
this mode of life you probably may last
twenty years, and there you are, an ecto'

Stock values went down to the lowest

plain to everybody. Business aud
transportation interests had adapted
themselves to an era of security aud
steady production as result of Re-

possibility of its interruption broke up
the sense of security and clouded the

The following from the Topeka Gap
itai is in line with the suggestion made
by the REGISTER last week:
Colonel r. w. Blue, of Linn county,
was in the city yesterday on his way
to Oklahoma where he has extended
land interests. He had few things
politically to say. "In the first place, y
he said to the Capital reporter, II
have no sympathy with Republican
ism that attempts so straddle. No
man can be good Republican and be
a straddler. I like Harrison Kelley
personally, but think he made q big
mistake when he tried to get on both
sides of the tariff question. I believe
that caused his defeat. Mr.. Funston
made his campaign on q true blue Re-
publican platform and he was elected
BY q splendid majority. If he had
been beaten. I tell you, the farmers
of Kansas are not going to be led off
by this free-trade heresy. The princi-
pie of protection Is as strong with the
Intelligent voters Of Kansas as it ever
was. There are few sections in the
Mckinley bill that / do not approve
myself, but because four or five sec
tions out of 5000 don't suit me Is no
reason why I should renounce the
whole thing.
AZ have never been much of a Blaine
man until recently" said Mr.. Blue.
81 think he is the man the Republic
cans must nominate for president In
1892. He can win easier than any
man that can be named. His recip-
rocity idea is popular and will make
him many votes.n
"How about Funston for Governor
in 1892?r
ayes, there is such talk, and want
to say that it would be strong nomi-
nation. OF course it is very early to
begin to talk of that now, but If there
should be demand by the Republic
cans for a farmer candidate for Cover
nor-and undoubtedly there will be-
I know of no man who would fill the
bill SO well. AS is probably the ablest
farmer in the State. His
great victory just won in the Second
district makes him stronger tnan
ever"

Kansas In The Census

This Office is in receipt of Census
BuIletou No. II, just issued by the
census bureau, and giving the popula-
ton of the country by States and Ter
ritories according to the census last
June. Tho following extract will be
of interest to Kansas people:
During the past ten years the popu-
lation of Dakota, considering the two
States of North Dakota and South Da-
kata together, has increased from 1876, :
III to $40, 273, or 277 per cent; Nebras-
ka from 452, 402 to 1855, 79S, or 4S4 per
cent, and Kansas from 996, O96 to L.
423, 4S5, or IS per cent. This increase
has not, however, continued uniformly
throughout the decade, In 1885 Da-
kota contained 415, $40 inhabitants, or
more than four-fifths of its present
population. Nebraska contained 740,-
645 inhabitants in the same year, this
dividing the numerical increase quite
agually between the two halves of the
decade, but leaving the greater per-
centage Of increase in the first half.
In the same year Kansas by its State
census had ], 2ss, $50 Inhabitants show
ing that nearly two-thirds of the nu-
merical gain was acquired during the
first half of the decade. The indus.
tries of the State are almost purely ag-
ricultural, and are dependent on the
supply of moisture, either in the form
of rain or by irrigation. Through
these States passes what is known as
the sub-humfd. belt, q strip of country
several degrees in width, in which
during rainy years..there is abundance
of moisture for the needs of crops,
while in the years when the rainfall is
below the average the supply is def
Gent. In this region little provision
has been made for artificial irrigation,
the settlers having thus far been con-
frut to depend upon rainfall. Into
this region the settlers fiocked in large
numbers in the early years of the de-
csde, drawn thitber by the fertility of
the land and by the fact that for a few
years the rain fall bad been sufficient
Tor the needs Of agriculture. During
the mast two or three years, however,
the conditions of rainfall have mate
rally changed. 1t has fallen decided
" below the normal, and settlers have
thereby been forced to emigrate.
Thousands of families have abandoned
thts region and gone to Oklahoma and
the Rocky Mountain region. Thjs mi.
grafton is well shown in the progress
OF Kansas. rs indicated by its annual
censusses. These censuses show a
rapid increase in population from 1880
up TO 1857; 1888 shows bat @ slight in
