Infection of locusts with disease
fungus is producing a marked effect
in the districts of Cape Colony where
it is beng tried. In one case the
freeing of hundred inoculated
locusts set up an epidemic which
caused large numbers of dead locusts
to appear on the sand dunes on the
next morning and the following days;
ard in another case the immersion of
young locusts in water containing the
fungus was followed some days after
by the finding of heaps of the dead
three miles away.

Ruins of the most ancient mines in
history still exist. These are the cop
per mines of Sinai, which were
worked from about 5000 to 1900 or
1900 B. c., and whose adits are still
preserved, with remains of the fur
naces, crucibles and huts and tools
of the miners. The scepter of Pepi
of the Smith Dynasty, now preserved
in the British Museum, was made of
pure copper from these mines. Three
ores-turquoise, copper hydrosilicate.
and sandstone impregnated with cop
pe1-are found, and some of the tools
contain arsenic, which the Greek aud
Egyptian alchemists used for harden
ing copper.

Reviewing the past years work
with Roentgen rays, DIR. C. M. Moul-
lin finds that no branch of medicine
or surgery has failed to give evidence
of the improvements made. The
huorescent screen has now reached
such perfection that the minutest
movement of heart and luags and the
least change in the action of the
diaphragm can be studied at leisure,
and there is scarcely any irregularity
or disease of heart, lungs or great
blood-vessels that cannot be seen and
photographed. So great has been
the advance with the horoscope, in
fact, that examination of patients
chest will doubtless ere long become
as much matter of routine in all
doubtful cases as examination with
the stethoscope is at present. In
surgery the results have been quite
as valuable, and it has become easy
to ascertain the nature of an injury or
disease of bones or joints, or whether
a fracture is properly set or disloca-
ton completely reduced. Perhaps
the most remarkable of recent
achievements has been the detection
of renal calculi. The presence of
these can now be determined with
great certainty, and negative evidences
can be relied upon to show that oper-
alton is unnecessary.

The manufacture of lithium salts
is a suggested new American indus
try. Lithium is usually regarded as
a very rare metal, but it occurs in
considerable quantities in the spodu-
meme and lepidolite of New England,
the Black Hills, and Calf ornia, the
most important source of supply now
known being the lepidolite deposit of
San Diego Co., Cal. This deposit is
estimated at 100000 tons, the lithia
being estimated at three to five per
cent. The lithium carbonate used in
the United States for making arti-
fetal lithia water is variously estima-

FIGHT FOR BOOKS
Trouble Brewing Over Prop
erty in Library Hall.
ZOPHFR TUTTLE'S HEIRS
Claim the Library--S ubsCrib-
ers Call a Meeting.
ZOPHFR TUTTLE'S HEIRS

The free library established by Gopher
TuttIe on North Main street stands now
to bring on a lot of trouble between the
futile heirs and the original subscribers
to the library list The library manage
ment was notified yesterday by Mr.
Throckmorton and Mr.. Dorsey, repre-
senting the Tuttle heirs, that the rent
paid on the hall would not be paid fur
Their and that the books bought by Mr..
futile would be taken away, or at least
some of them would.
In June, 1896, Mr.. Tuttle bought most
of the books, in accordance with an
agreement written by c. c. Willard, on
authority of Mr.. futile, providing about
as follows: Mr.. futile proposed to es-
tablish a free liberal library Of $1,000
worth of books when 100 men should
subscribe to pay so cents per year or 50
cents per six months for maintaining 1t.
Among the signers to this agreement
were r. A. Sankey, ex-Representative
Silas Ruuedge, ]. Pratsman, E. Rife, DR..
R. Matthews, W. S. Spaulding. L. w.
Camp, Mrs. C. E. Martin, J. V. Wood, c.
R: Miller, c. B. Campbell, c. B. Quincy
and others. The futile heirs claim that
nothing was said in the will about the
library and that as less than the stated
number of subscribers actually paid up
the library properly belongs to the es-
tate. A meeting Of the subscribers has
been called to decide upon some plan of
procedure. They have consulted lawyers
as to the validity of the agreement cir
culated by Mr. Willard upon authority of
Mr.. futile and will try TO hold the books.
The library includes works on almost all
branches OF history, science, spiritualism,
etc, and is very valuable. 1t is said that
a few months prior to his death he deter
mined to build hall for the library.
