son-faced, trembling, she sunk into the

Wonders of the Insect world.

Entomologists generally concede
that upward of one hundred thousand
species of insects have been recognized
and classified; some authors even place
the number at two hundred thousand,
and it is even believed that this vast
number does notreprescnt more than
one-tenth of the number which act
ually inhabit the globe. One-half Of
these belong to the Coleoptera, OIL
beetles. OF the butterflies (Lepidop
tera) there are fifteen thousand species
and an equal number may be credited
to the Hymenoptera (bees, wasps, etc. }
the Hemiptera bugs in gencraD an.
the Diptera (hics) The Orthopter;
Qocusts, grasshoppers, etc. are tnucl
less numerous, and of the nettet
winged insects there are probably les

who were totally unknown to the natives
Of the district, rushed in and seized the
best looking young women and girls, to
the number Of 80 or 40 and carried them
away. As soon az other people went to
render assistance at the mat sheds another
band Of robbers set fire to houses In differ
emit parts of the village and plundered the
shops of all that was valuable.
Boats were waiting at the riverside and
the kidnappers and the robbers were able
to make good their escape The Chinese

WENT THOMAS TORESIGNl
The National Commission Be-
gins to Fight Back.
SUNDAY QUESTION COMES TO-DAY

The Report of the Judiciary Committee
tor Will BE Asked to Get Out Nor
wegian Day at the Fair.
CHICAGO, May 18.-The struggle be-
tween the National Worlds Fair Commits
sion and the local Worlds Fair directors is
on. The local committee made an ad
vance last week by. declaring that TIT
gates should be open, and now the Ma
tional folks have made an attempt to as
sert their authority by adopting the report
the official music committee ordering Di-
rector General Davis to request the resig
nation of Theodore Thomas as director o.:
music.
Mr. Huntley of Alabama wanted to give
Mr.. Thomas another chance and asked
that the report be amended so as to read
UNLESS he consents to use instruments on
exhibition at the Fair" Nobody seconded
this motion.
Mr.. Glendenning of Arkansas made a
plea for justice to be melted out as between
Thomas and the ''loyal exhibitors of
pianos" He declared that the honor of
the Commission, the honor of the EXPOSE
ton and the honor of the United States
were at stake, and he hoped the report
would be adopted. The vote was taken
and resulted: Yeas, 80; nays, 10. Presi-
dent Palmer was the last one voting, and
a roar of applause went up as he said
"Aye." There was an attempt by the
friends of Theodore Thomas to secure a re-
consideration, but it was defeated.
The action taken by the local directors
of the Worlds Fair, declaring that both
the grounds and buildings shall be opened
on Sunday, even if the Exposition COM
pany is compelled to return the 50, 500, 900
appropriated by Congress, was put before
the National Commission in writing The
correspondence was referred to the Judici-
iry committee, with instructions to report
this afternoon. The Judiciary committee
5 believed to be divided on the subject.
Yesterday was big day for the exposi
Jon chiefly on account of the Norwegian
cele blation attending the opening of that
country's buildinA and the visit which the
Duke of Vertgua paid to the Fair i'll honor
of the seventh birthday of his Sovereign.
King Alfonso XIII. The grounds and
buildings We're open until II O'clock, and
the illUniinations were on an extensive
scale.
