INSECT HEAVY DRINKERS.
Butterflies Sit For Hours Sucking More
Moisture Than Needed.

Butterflies Sit For Hours Sucking More
Moisture Than Needed.
By means of a large number of OBJ
servations Mr.. j. w. Tut is able to
confirm what has been stated by other
observers that certain butterflies and
moths are very much addicted TO drink.
In a paper published in the proceed.
ings" of the South London Entomology
ical and Natural History society Mr..
Tut says there can be no doubt that
butterflies drink more than is required
by their tissues under any possible con-
ditions. He has known Polyommatus
damon TO sit for more than an hour mo-
tionless except for the slight movement
of sucking up and discharging the
moisture almost continuously.
What this internal bath may really
mean cannot be surmised. Another inn
portant factor as TO this drinking habit
is a strange one, the THIRSTY souls
AS far as his observation goes, being az
most entirely males. Possibly II exact
observations could be made ii might be
found that females in small numbers
also visit puddles, pools and streams
for drinking purposes, but as far as Mr..
Tut has been able to discover it is the
males alone who indulge il these copi-
Gus l~ibations, while the females are
away laying eggs. Moths and butter
flies Of both sexes visit sugar, overripe
fruit and similar dainties, but they do
SO for food. The males alone seem to be
attracted by pure water, and Mr.. Tut
suggests that, their extra activity hav-
ing originally given them greater need
in this direction, a habit which was at
first a necessity has become so pleasur.

to whatever extent the situation de-
mands. I do not think, as at present
advised, that a larger squadron than
the Chicago, the Montgomery and the
Wilmington is necessary, but as I have
said, there may be contingencies which
would make it advisable to largely add
to these vessels"
Secretary Long denied that Rear Ad-
miraI Schley had made a request for a
larger squadron, but" said he, Il pre-
sumo any commanding officer going to
the East African coast at this time
would prefer to have a representative
squadron
It is the understanding that if any
of the larger ships be sent it will be the
Texas. With the Chicago Montgomery,
Wilmington and Texas, four or five Of
the smaller cruisers would constitute
a representative squadron.
The feeling at the navy department
that it would be well to have a large
American squadron cruising off East
Africa is a growth of the last few days
It is undoubtedly based on the news
obtained in Washington and Europe
that contingencies may arise in the
progress Of the war in the Transvaal
which would make the presence of a
larger body of sailors and marines a
necessity in that neighborhood.

this way credits must come into the

Here, therefore, we have a powerful

The South Atlantic squadron has

by Great Britain of Germany's PROPOSE

group the news of which was exclusive
ly announced through the Journal this
morning in these dispatches.
The attitude of this country-one of
hostility to the German proposition and
German pretensions as to Samoa-can
not fail to be regarded as of the great

cert, evidently DESTROYS of getting

that the three special trains bearing

regiment made the start from the Oak
land pier in San Francisco Sunday
within 10 minutes time.
The first train pulled out at 12:44
noon, and was followed II minutes la
ter, at 1885, by the second train. The
third train made the start at 1903 p.
m. But little news of the progress of
the trains will be received at the Santa

they pass into the control of the Santa

TO MOVE ON CHINA.
President Will Advise That a Com
mission Be Sent There.


New York, Oct 3O.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
President Mckinley is expected to re-
new in his forthcoming message his
recommendation that an appropriation
be made for a commission TO inVeSti-
gate the commercial and Industrial con-
ditiOns of the Chinese empire.
No radical change in the policy of the
United States with respect to China is
contemplated by the president. It is
ests in every way. No discriminating
treatment of American citizens or Am
erican trade will be permitted for an
instant and undoubtedly the Inaugural
ton of the exclusion policy on the part
of foreign governments possessing
spheres of influence in China will be
bitterly opposed by this government
However, such a. contingency as the
latter is not expected. It has been
stated that the strong reinforcement of
Rear Admiral WatSOn's command is
watched with a view to make this an
important factor in the Asiatic situa-
ton. An official with whom I talked
today told me that the vessels added to
Rear Admiral WatsOn's force were as
signed to it upon the express recon-
mendation of Admiral Dewey for the
effect it would have on the instruction
in the Philippines, and had no reference
to China. As soon as the instruction
is quelled, it is the intention of the de-
partment, unless future developments
should arise, to withdraw the larger
ships, though the two monitors, MOnad-
mock and Monterey, will remain at Ma
Mia as a, naval guard for that city.
