some insect known in our trade The
entomologists at the agricultural depart

tobacco, but appears to be especially
fond of cigarettes. Thousands of cigar
cites are ruined by the little pest and he
gets In his work on all kinds of dried
tobacco.
Nor is his peculiar appetite appeased
by tobacco alone, for he feeds with equal
relish on rhubarb, ginger, cayenne pep

stuff like that. The beetle damages ci-
gars and cigarettes principally by bor-
ing them out and making round holes
III the wrappers so they will not draw
Leaf tobacco is rendered useless for
wrapping purposes by being punctured
with holes made by both the larvae and
the beetles. Filters and fine cut tobacco
suffer from the reduction of their SUBJ
stance by the actual amount consumed
by the larvae
There is one case on record where the
beetle was accidentally introduced into a
store In shipment of plug tobacco In
a very short time-about three weeks. I
think-the insect increased and almost
took possession Of the place. 1t entered
the cigar cases and completely ruined
a high-priced stock of goods We are
beginning to know how to deal with the
pest now, and don't suffer from It as
much as formerly This is the first
package of cigarettes I've noticed the
beetles in this season, and I've got to go
right to work to put them out of bust

LONDON, Aug. 1.-THE johannesburg
correspondent of the Daily Mail says:
''The government is awaiting the ap-
prevail of the Orange Free State and the
Cape Colony ministry before replying to
the proposal of Mr.. Chamberlain to SUBJ
nit the franchise controversy to a joint
commission of inquiry. I am in a posi-
ton to assert that the first draft of the
TransVaaPs answer was a refusal. The
second was an acceptance conditional on
the independence of the South African
republic not being impugned.
This dependence on Bloemfontein and
the Dutch cabinet at Cape Town is
proof of the chaos reigning in Pretoria
The leading members of the raad are
opposed to war and accuse President
Kruger of being responsible for the cri-
sis. More than this, despite the war
preparations, the Transvaal generally is
averse to a conflict"
The Cape Town correspondent of the
Daily Chronicle says:
Il am convinced that the first shot
fired in the Transvaal will be the signal
for a general native rising. The impe-

has been warned accordingly and is post
