Important experiments dealing with
a plague of locusts are reported from
South Africa Mr.. Ellington, director
of the archaeological Instisute of the
Cape Town government, has succeeded
in destroying millions of insects by in
oculating few and turning them loose.
He makes a sort of toxin by grinding
up the bodies of lOcusts which have
perished of disease. The resulting
powder is mixed with waterand smeared
over the bodies of a few hundred locusts
which are released. The disease soon
spreads and the swarm all all perish.

To determine the effect of the vapors

with various plants, shrubs, etc, by
subjecting them for few hours to the
action of the vapor No immediate in

changes took place which varied with
different plants. Horse ches tnut trees

the nomination of Mr.. Stone for the
head of the ticket contenting them
selves with the concentration of their
vote on Charles w. Stone. The vote
was uncomfortably close for the Quay
adherents, Colonel Stone receiving only
Is more votes than the number neces-
sary to a choice, 1913 votes. The 1863
votes cast for O. w. Stone represented
the combined strength of that candi-
date and John Wanamaker. The lat
ter provided the only sensation of an
otherwise cut and dried convention by
presenting letter of withdrawal in
which he denounced the methods of
the dominant Republican faction and
urged his friends to support Q. W.
Stone. The withdrawal is interpreted
to mean that Mr. Wanamaker has
placed himself in a position to run as
an independent candidate for governor
if he so elects.
General Reeder and Wanamaker both
were nominated, but withdrew before
the balloting, the former throwing his
five votes to W. A. Stone.
The vote for lieutenant governor was
Goblin, 1926; Grady, 70; Cochran, 80.
Everybody agreed to the suggestion
that the nominations of James W.
Latta of Philadelphia. for secretary of
internal affairs, and w. w. Porter of
Philadelphia, for judge of the superior
court, be made by acclamation. The
ticket was completed by the renomina-
ton of Galusha A. Grow and Samuel
A. Davenport for congress- at-large A
rollcall, however, was necessitated by
the friends of Congressman W. G.
Arnold of Clearfield insisting that their
favorite's name should go before the
convention as contestant against Grow
and Davenport, the slated candidates.
The vote was announced as Grow, 1856;
Davenport, 2l5; Arnold, 14S.
The platform reaffirms the Republi-
can national platform of 1896, approves
the course of the president ard con-
gress in the war with Spain, demands
vigorous prosecution of the war to

TAMPA, Fla, June 3.-With the es-
adjustment Of general army headquart-
ers at Tampa, and with Major General
Miles on the ground personally direct
ing the movements of the army, affairs
here, almost stagnant for some time,
have again taken on a considerable de-
gree of activity, but no embarkation of
troops has as yet taken place from this
point.
Although the work of preparing the
army for the campaign continues with
undated yigor until the fate of the
powerful Spanish fleet is settled no or
ders for the invasion of Cuba are ex-
pected. Admiral Cervara is apparently
the unknown quantity in this problem
of war. When he is disposed of it is
probable the opportunity the army has
SO long waited for will come, and come
quickly.
Captain J. K. Dorst, who was i'll
charge of the recent expedition on the
steamer Florida, describes the condition
of the women and children as pitiable
in the extreme. When the steamer
Florida reached Point Banes, ON the
north coast of Cuba, where the supplies
of arms, ammunitions and provisions
were landed, it was met by crowd of
perhaps 300 pacificos, many of them
emaeiated to the last extremity by
long privations.
Nearly half of these unfortunates
were women and, according to Captain
Dorst, scarcely one of them had more
than a single garment, and that in tat
tiers. Many Of the children were abso-
lutely naked, and their appeals for food
when the first boat from the Florida
landed on the beach were heartrending
As far as possible the crews of the Flor
ida and her consort, the Osceola, have
supplied the pacificos' wants, even Civ
ing away their underclothing.
General Nelson A. Miles, with sew
eral members of his staff, yesterday

iu the route for packers q return to

trail few feet. Then the packers
would fold their coats, sit down on
them, and toboggan down to the start

there will be tired horse in the line
that will stop moment to regain his

procession comes to standstill, and
everybody following the tired horse

frequently from mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter!

There ia q little truth and great deal
Of exaggeration in this. II q young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should see
that she gets It.

herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs Pinkham's address Is

neglect will do, and tells how Mrs.
