A Pest of White ANITA

La Rochelle has for many years been in
Tested with the white ant This pest was
introduced about the end Of the last CEN
fury, and for long time was confined to a
particular quarter Of the town, but through
the imprudence of builders engaged in re-
pairing the damage these insects had done
to the houses (who, instead of burning the
old wood. allowed it to be carried away)
they are now almost everywhere, and many
public and private buildings are in n
dangerous state from them.
They eat away the beams and timbers
from the inside, which makes it very diff
cult to know the exact amount of damage
done, and therefore house can never be
safe where they are known to be. In some
cases it has been necessary, as n precau-
ton. to have the important supporting
beams and woodwork taken out and re-
placed by iron, lest the houses should come
down unexpectedly. This has to be done
Mt the prefecture, which was the first
place where they appeared and where, of
late years, they have eaten part of the ar
chives, and there are gardens in which it
is useless to attempt to grow certain flow
ers Qor instance. geraniums), which they
attack by eating out the inside of the stalk,
leaving only the skin untouched. 1t has
been found impossible to destroy or get
rid OF them.-London Globe.

The Spelling of a Few Words.

We Americans like to assimilate our
words and to make them our own, while
the British have rather fondness for
foreign phrases. A London Journalist
recently held up to public obloquy as an
Ignorant Americanism" the word pro
gram, although he would have found it
set down in Professor Skeat's "Etymo-
logical Dictionary" Programme was
taken from the French. so a recent
writer reminds us, and in violation of
analogy, seeing that, when it was i'm
ported into English, we had already ana
gram, cryptogram, diagram, epigram,
etc." The logical form program is not
common even in America, and British
writer's seem to prefer the French form,
rs British speakers still give French
pronunciation to charade, which in
America has long since been accepted
frankly as an English word. So we

Color Blindness.

PROFESSOR Herring undertook q series of
observations upon three normal-sighted
persons. namely, upon himself and his two
assistants, Doctor Biedermann and Doctor
Shilling. These experiments were designed
to elicit whether any constant differences
could be detected in the color judgments
OF the three normal sighted persons who
were the subject of experiment. The cues
ton proposed for Judgment was the de-
termination of the point at which a red
which had been graduated off on the one
side into blue red and on the other into n
yellow red could be regarded as Mt the
neutral point ut which it did not incline
either to the one or the other of these COL
ors When the matter was put to the en-
perlmental test in this manner, constant
differences were actually discovered to OBJ
tain between the judgments of the three
individual observers.
The one observer, DR.. Biedermnnn. in MI
cases still continued to see a yellowish tinge
when the red proposed for Judgment had
already, in the judgment of the two other
observers, long ceased to contain any trace
OF yellow. Similarly, when it was a cues
ton OF transition from a blue red to n pure
red, the blue faded out from the red first
to DIR. Biedermann. next to Professor Her
ing, and last of all to DR.. Shilling. In
fact DR.. Biedermann had regularly begun
to see yellow shade in the red before It
had we'll ceased to have blue shade for
DR.. Shilling. Professor Herring was ascer-
tanned to occupy n kind of Intermediate
position i'll respect to his susceptibility
to yellow and blue rays-Nineteenth Cen.

work at the site of = proposed dam
at the mouth of Brunsa River in

suspect:ng that the peculiar white
stones might be valuable, sent q
quantity of them to Portland for
examination, and were quickly as
sured that they had run across gen

Stevenson said that he had been as
sured that the formation of the
ground in which the diamonds were
was of exactly the sane
nature as that Of the famous Kim
berly diamond mines in South

Into the raovement; others Gid not

position met, it may be menliened
that one of the wealthiest business
men Of that city fatty asserted
that he did not want a railroad
along the river from Brownsville to
Laredo because his city would then
be placed in competition for trade
with the latter. No wonder that
the representative from this city
was discouraged. He should have
been received with open arms-ths
spirit in which be went and the
kind of a reception he naturally
expected. The Times has contain
ed columns upon columns in favor
OF the enterprise, showing that the
road would pay handsomely from
the beginning, that it would double
the population of the Rio Grapde
valley between the two cities in
twelve mon.hs and make as fine a
section of country as the sun ever
skone upen ''blossen IS the rese,"
that it would greatly benefit
Brownsville and Laredo, but not
the latter at the expense Of the
former; the two cities are natural
allies for many reasons. but sspe-
cially for one, viz: Brownsville's
hope of attaining greatness must
