a Discreet british Ambassador SAY the Score.

MONTREAL, Oct. 29.-Sir Ernest Saton, British
Ambassador to Japan. arrived here to-day on
his way to Japan after attending the jubilee
celebration.
Being asked what interest Japan had in tho
pelaglc sealing question and how she came 10
DO represented at the Washington conference
without the presence OF Great Britain or Canada,
he said:
ITO tho first question. Japan has not any In
terest whatever in pelugic sealing. To the Soc
ond, she Is in the conference because she was
m's;od by Mr.. Sherman. When Japan was invited
to take part IN the conference she understood
that England would also participate. That was
the nformRtio cor vcy cd 10 her by Mr.. Sher-
man or his representatives. Upon no other
condi,io lon would sho have listened to tho
proposal. After she had sent her dele
gates she learned that ENGLAND was not to
b represented. She then said: What inter

representatives wore on. their way, and
japan was not dieroscd to take the, step OF

proposed several weeks ago, in a serious H'ay to
some OF his friends. TINT n petition be sent to the
railroad company asking for a dining car on

but the suggestion is not beyond the bounds OF
probability. \ railroad man said Yesterday
that there are nearly u dozen, so-callod theatre
trains running out OF New York every nighp

their attention to flies and ants. 1t would be of
little use, I fear, to appeal to their moral sense,
but something might be done II they would con-
fne these insects within safe-guarded establish
ments and restrict them to q properly sterilized
diet.
Tho connection between ants and flies and beer
and wine may perhaps seem somewhat obscure.
But DR.. Amadeo Berlese Of the Portici Labora-
tory for Agricultural Chemistry has discovered
| that these insects are simply unlicensed pur-
| yeyors of alcoholic yeasts. lie had frequently
| detected the cells OF two alcoholic yeasts hidden
in assures OF the bark on the trunks Of both
fruit and forest trees. These he suspected to
have been transported by the ants, which wero
| constantly travelling up and down the trunks.
and it seemed likely that flies might CO..
operate in the work. First he put the question
to the ants. He collected a large number of a
species which Is very common In vineyards.
They were allowed to have access to punches OF
grapes which had been carefully sterilizod and
afterward placed under conditions that pre-.
vented tho possibility Of any Introduction of
n1oulds or yeasts from the outer air. The result
In less than a fortnight was that all the punches
which the ants could visit were abundantly in
f.sted with yeasts and moulds. while several
others. which had been preserved even for q
much longer time In Bterilized vessels from
