Locusts in the Argentine

The Argentine government is making
great efforts, for the first time, to combat
the ever enormously increasing plague Of
locusts, and has made their destruction COM
pulsory. Besides having voted large sums
OF money for the purpose of appointing q
central and local committees all over the
republic, the government imposes fines for
iniraction of the law, and these sums, to.
gether with private aid from those most in.
terested, form very good working basis.
There is no doubt that the number de.
stfoyed has been enormous, and it remainl
to be seen what ameliorating effect will bI
produced as result. The locust winters in
the northern and warmer provinces, flies
southwark in the spring, lays it's eggs to the
amount Of about eighty, and dies These
eggs hatch out in about forty days, and the
tiny insect, which has no serviceable wings
at it's birth, at once begins its devastating
march, growing larger and larger, and she'd
ding its skin some five times, until, in about
forty days from its birth and after the final
shedding, it becomes fully hedged and sized
and continues for some days committing
its ravages in the flying state. Suddenly all
take flight northward, where the winter 10
passed, and the process goes on ad infnitum.
The method adopted for the destruction Of
these. insects is as follows: Lengths Of tin
one foot high are extended for hundreds Of
yards and pits are dug at intervals of fifty
yards. The locust comes to the tin barrier,
cannot surmount it, and skirting the tine
hops into the pits. At tn. end Of each day
the victims are covered up with earth and
are SO destroyed. These arc the hoppera
(Saltona), and require very little driving.
In one of these bitches we sank knee deep
in the dead insects in the bottom of the
trench. Measures of this description are he.
ing taken all over the republic.-London

the last moment put in the necessary

the club pressure should be put on, adding
to its velocity until it comes in contact with
the ball. The result in this case should
neither be so strained nor likely to render
the aim ineffective, as if it were made just
when the club is nearing the ball.
Taylor, as will be seen, gives some sound
advice. No good golf player ever plays
awkwardly. If you cannot acquire cor
rect style naturally, by all means get a
teacher, and let him or her try to drill you
into it. Better far, though, if you drop
into the habit of playing with grace and ease
without studied effort.

Things Told by Our ConsuIs

The consul at Cologne tells of German OBJ
JectIons to the manner in which Amer-
can dried and preserved fruits are prepared
for shipment to that country. One import
er, who has sold more than S23, 900 worth of
American apricots alone, has been hauled
over the Goals because it was shown that
the trult has been treated with sulphurous
ac,d. This fruit came, in large part from
Chicago. American dealers are still shin.
ping dried apple slices which have been
cured upon zinc frames. This is in direct
contravention of the German law. Ameri-
can pears also are sometimes treated Dy the
sulphurous acid process. The consul saws:
persons interested in the sale of American
fruits here strongly desire to remove all
reasons for these investigations, and have re-.
Quested me, through the department of state.
to call the attention of American shippers
to this condition of affairs and to the abso-
lutte necessity OF abstaining from the use of
sulphurous acid or any such preparation in
the expectation of fruit to this market

crn Mexico: Coffee, cocoa, rubber, ban
oranges, lemons, figs, maize, ebony, satin
wood, rosewood, lnut, oak, logwood, quas-
sia. sarsaparilla and cotton. The climate is
endless summer. The government has
granted to company from Stamford, Conn,
an immense tract of land, from which dye
woods will be exported. Intending settlers
should carry with them not less than 5000
in gold, which will pay all the family ex-
penses Tor the first year. As an instance of
tllnt culture, the consul tells of one farm of
l25 acres near Montemorelo On it are II. 900
orange trees and 5000 peach trees, besides
mandarins, grape fruit, japanese plurls, ap-
ircots, pears, lemons, olives, grapes, black
berries and raspberries.
In Venezuela people are going in for the
yucca plant. Coffee is too low to be largely
reinunerative. Three acres of yucca will
produce 10000 pounds of tapioca. Land
which is yucca planted will return from six
to seven times as much money as coffee.

correct way to play golf gracefully, and do
not let the blind lead the blind, for of all
games golf is one in which care is necessary
to avoid falling into the ditch
Here is the advice of the famous golf
player and ex-gold champion Taylor on the
best way to cultivate style in playing the
game: MANY things on which we differ
are of little or no importance, and the va
rious opinions can be experimental on by
the tyro without running the risk Of incur
ring much hurt, but there are other things
about it which will be wise to find out more
from experienced players the reasons for and
against. and then make choice of what ap-
pears to be best, and persevere in thinking
it so, despite conflicting opinions. While
there is no reason why any one should not
become a good player who follows out the
advice, though they may try very hard to do
SO. The great drawback to those who would
learn to play golf without having profess
sional adviser at their side is that they can
not see themselves as others see them
Could they do so, they would soon become
aware of how poorly they are reproducing
the swing of which they have read, and how
certainly they are contracting habits which

NEW YORK, Oct 7.-(Special Cores
pondence to The l1erald.) 1t is a delicate
matter to lay down the law to member of
the fair sex as to how she should stand when
playing golf, how she should swing her
arms, and what attitude would be the means
of giving to her motions an ease and grace
that will make her the admired of all ad-
mirers on the golf course, and what antics
will cause her to be considered awkward and
stiff. To begin with, it is best to tell the
athletic girl who aspires to be golf player
to be natural. DO not seek to add to the
grace of your carriage on the golf field by
standing with every muscle tense and every
nerve keyed up to the highest pitch in the
effort to avoid being ungainly. Forget
yourself and study only the ball. In so
studying, you will find that the gracefulness
that is inseparable from forgetfulness of
self is yours.

thinking OF how you look when play wing it, it

Il think, therefore, that every one who is
ambitious of becoming golfer will do well
at the outset to seek professional tuition
A few lessons, then, would probably be
more useful than great many after the
faults referred to have been acquired. My
manner OF playing is different from either
that of Dunn or 'Badminton.'
ITO begin with the stance: Instead OF
having my right foot to the rear, keep it
some three or four inches in advance: This,
l think to be best, for it allows the body to
follow much more freely after the swing in
the direction OF the intended flight of the
ball The weight of the body l throw
mostly on to the right foot, not transferring
it until the ball is being struck. BY this
means the body remains comparatively still
during the backward swing, thus adding
impetus to the flight Of the ball. If the
weight of the body be thrown mostly on the
left leg when addressing the ball. during the
backward swing, it has to be transferred to
the right, and back again with the down
ward stroke, thereby making, as it seems to
me, the aim less steady

goods into China. BY this means Russia has
killed the English trade in cotton goods
which formerly hourished in Persia. These
rebates and preferential duties in favor Of
Russia are bound to injure seriously the
American trade in cottons, kerosene and

oil trade, because of superior product, but
they will lose much. American oils are so
popular in the east that the agents of Rus
sian oils from Batoum and Dutch oils from
Java put up their stuff in imitation of the
American product and label and brand it
with the names Of American firms. Indeed,

work Of spIs. During the War.

Official reports of al commanding
officers Of the navy during the war have
been compiled and published by the navy
department. In the record of the naval
var board an unknown hero is brought
o light in the person of Ensign ii. II
Ward, who at the beginning Of the war
volunteered for secret service duty.
Within a week after the declaration Of
war Ensign Ward disguised himself and
vent into the heart Of the enemy's coun-
try, making his headquarters at Cadiz,
the principal Spanish naval station, and
informing the navy department here Of
tie strength of the Spanish naval vessels
and their movements. Then he went TO
the West Indies and reported everything
that was going on there of importance to
the American navy. Next he went in
disguise 10 Porto Rico. where he was ar
rested as a spy. By adroitness he secur-
ed his release. and escaping to San Juan,
cabled the navy department full ac-
count OF the stats of the defenses there
and the preparations making for the re-
ception Of the Spanish squadron under
Cervera.
While Ward was in Porto Rico. Ensign
Buck, another attache of the navigation
bureau, was on the shores Of the Mediter-
rAnean in disguise watching every move

Admiral Dewey was told long before
the declaration Of war. on February 3,
10 days after the destruction of the
Maine: "In the event of war with Spain
yonr duty will be TO see that the Spanish
squadron does not leave the Asiatic coast,
and then offensive operations in the Phil
ippines." Admiral Howell, then in the
Mediterranean with his squ ldron, was
told to wait in neutral waters for orders.
and the ships Ia the south Atlantic were
instructed TO move northwsrd. so as not
to excite suspicion.

was exactly what happened.
Letters exchanged between Secretary
Long and Rear Admiral Sampson show
that before the outbreak Of the war
Sampson had worked out a complete plan
for the immediate Reduction Of Havana

was only prevented from carrying out
that plan by orders from the department.,
