In Cape Colony considerable sue
cess has been attained in exterminat-
ing locusts by incubation with the
locust disease fungus, and this prep
aration is now supplied by the d.
rector of the meteorological Institute
to residents of the colony at an ex-
pense Of about ten cents per tube. In
one instance hundred loeusts which
had been inoculated with the disease
were distributed among q swarm, and
on the next morning and subsequent
days large numbers of dead insects
were found on the sand dunes, killed,
as was proved by microscopical ex.
animation, by the fungus. The fun
gus from the dead locusts produced a
fungus more rapid in growth, but
smaller in size than that which had
been produced at the Government
station. In some other experiments
the fungus was mixed with water i'll
which the young locusts were dipped
and then released. After three days
rain fell, and on the afternoon of the
fourth day, heaps of the insects were
found in the bushes about three miles
from the place where they were i'm
mersed. The success of this method
of determination is shown by COM
parison of localities so treated with
places where the fungus has not been
tried, there being marked decrease
in the numbers OF the pest in the
former case.

Notwithstanding the many traditions
concerning mysterious lights seen
lowering over swamps at night, and
in spite of the attempted explanations
of such phenomena in some popular
books on science, Professor n. S.
Shaler says he is inclined to dis
believe in the existence of these
luminous appearances. He has studied
swamps for many years, but has never
seen will-o'-the wisp, and he sug-
gests that the reports about moving
lights visible above swamps may be
due to subjective impressions induced
by gazing into darkness.

The operation of rhinoplasty is said

detached from the forehead and
brought down over the nose which has
been measurably destroyed, this skin
then being stitched down on either
side of the nose, and in time becomes
grated thereto. Skin grating is also
quite common in cases of severe burns.
Small strips of skin are taken from
the untouched parts and cut into
small pieces, then distributed over the
raw surface. In time they take root
and grow, spreading until they com
pletely cover the place. The skin OF

Among the places visited by the
German exploring ship Valdivia. re-
Gently returned from the Antarctic
Ocean, was Bouvet Island, which,
although discovered in 1879, was only
known to have been sighted twice
since its discovery, and until the
Valdivia's visit had not been seen for
more than seventy years. The island
is the summit of a volcanic mountain
rising three thousand feet above the
sea. Its crater is entirely covered
with ice, which caves down in steep
wall to sea level. 1t is situated about
1900 miles west of south from the
Cape of Good Hope.

WHY SOME FOLKS ARE POOR.
Curious Facts That Have Been
Brought to Light in q New
England Town.

The statistics relating to the care of
the poor are often interesting. In a
certain New England city, says writer
for the New York Times, they allow the
people who need the city's aid three
dollars week, and they order at GER
tain stores what they please up to that
sum weekly, and the bills are sent to
the city auditor. The auditor, as he
reads the bills, is greatly enlightened
as to the diet OF the poor. There are
frequently raisins, citron and things
that are not usually supposed necessary
to support life, but one poor woman
broke the record when in the bill for
one weeks supplies it was found that
S6 pies had been purchased. That, at
ten cents pie, exhausted So go of the
city's money and there remained 40
cents to supply the family with neces-
stiles. Another poor woman had pur-
chased at the expense of the city pair
of corsets.
II don't know that 1 believe in dress
reform for women" commented the
auditor as he read that item, "but it
seems to me that this creates a prece-
dent that may make it rather hard on
the city" However, being a man, the
auditor could hardly be expected to
know what are the necessities of life
for a woman.

Col. Funston, whose fighting in the

which ought to cool down the partici-

that our enemy is fighting for the right

the North American Review for July,
which is headed q The Logic OF our
Position in Cuba" He does not find
any public opinion in that island
in favor Of annexation to the United
States. In his startling peresent-
mont of facts he puts forth the fol-
lowing:
@There can be no doubt that the

"The Cubans can and will give them

the petty Republics of South Ameri-

impatient to take the management of
their own affairs.
"The irritation of the Cubans
against the Americans and the Amer

and will inevitably presently find
vent in a revolt"
His conclusions are so interesting
at the present time. that we quote
them in full:

"To decide, to carry out our prom

to be the proper course.
"To drift means a struggle with a

people in the face of daily increasing

OF the problems connected with the

failure to fulfill solemn pledge.

New York, March 23.-Attorney Gen

forced. In answer to the question,
What is your theory as to the proper
and most speedy remedy for the people
to curb, repress or exterminate the un-
lawful aggregation Of capital, Or what
is commonly known as the formation
Of trusts" Mr. Monnett dictated the
following statement TO your correspond
ent after concluding his Investigations
here:
THE Ohio theory has been that every
State having vested in it the govern
mental function or power to grant char
ters and franchises to corporations,
must have the incidental power Of not
only controlling these corporations, but
speedily bringing them to justice when
ever they exceed the original authority
granted to them, or whenever they do
an act as such corporate creature that
is against the public policy of the State
or government, or that in any way de-
presses, Injuries Or destroys one indus

Every dollar of unnatural profit ex-

comes helpless fight for the individual

them as an individual seeks TO revolt
against this unjust repression he can
be at once disciplined and punished by
the same unlawful authority.
THE State government, through its
executive officers and the Supreme
Court, on behalf of the people, has the
right to assert the powers of the Gov
ernor to bring the culprit committing
the offenses against the commercial
world to justice and punish him. This.
in brief, explains what | meant by pro-
ceedings in quo warranto for custer.
The charter Of such offending corpora
ton should and can be revoked and the
entire assets of such company placed in
the hands Of trustees appointed by the
court with all the functions of re-
ceiver, and the affairs Of the corpora
tion can be wound up and the property
sold to law abiding purchasers. Fur
Their punishment can be melted out by

Germ and the magnitude of the offense,

Attorney General Monnett says that

the example Of Ohio In this matter; that
Colorado authorities have already taken
steps in that direction. While admit

West Virginia Business of the National
Mutual Building Association.
Special to the Register.
Huntington, w. Va, March 23.-Ten
days ago w. r. Thompson was appoint
ed temporary receiver in this State for
the National Mutual Building & Loan
Association Of New York. The ap-
pointment was made by Judge Doolit-
tie on suit entered byR.L.Day. The
plaintiffs petition set forth that the as
ISOLATION was operating contrary to its
bylaws, and that great injustice was
being wrought to the borrowers. After
an argument Of two days Judge Doolit-
tie to-day made the receivership perma-
nent.
The case was being watched with great
interest all over the country, and some
of the leading attorneys Of New York
were here to assist local attorneys in
favor of the association.
Col. z. t. Vinson led the fight against
the association.
The appointment Of a receiver for
this association will probably be fol-
lowed by similar suits against the
greater number of all building and loan
associations throughout the State. The
National Mutual of New York is a
strong company, almost million dol
lars having been loaned on real estate
in West Virginia.

Chicago, Ills, March Ex-senator
Henry M. Teller, of Colorado, who has
been spending a few days in New York
city since the adjournment Of Congress,
Is here en- route to his home in Denver,
Col. He will arrive there in about
two weeks, as he will visit his aged
mother in this State before going to
Colorado. The Senator is vigorously
opposed to trusts. To-day he gave your
correspondent the following interview:
81 believe these gigantic industrial
combinations, enormously styled
trusts, are formed through the instru-
mentality of INSCRIPTIONS promoters,
for the purpose of enticing the unsus-
pecting investor into subscribing for
the stock, which has generally, purely
a fictitious value. l predict the dis
mcmberment Of these top-heavy con-
solicitations in two ON three years after
the combination takes effect. Having
no substantial foundation, they will
pay dividends for a while, then fall
with a crash. Concerns joining the
combinations are rated at value one
half, so-called, of what they are worth,
but in reality considerably more i'll
many cases. A fictitious value is thus
created. The required percentage OF
earnings will be greater than the ca
pacity; prices must be raised on the
goods manufactured to meet the emery
ency. Here is where the people will
suffer if the combination absolutely
controls the trade from start to finish.
They will not stand it. II, on the other
hand, the trade is not absolutely I'M
der the jurisdiction of one manage
ment, competition will spring up with
increased prices. An opposing trust
will be formed, and the first will fall
to pieces. However, the iron and steel
industry is one which can never be
monopolized by one corporation In this
country. There are too many natural
resources open to new capital. Many
small manufacturers are forced into
the combinations for self-protection
and against their will. For every trust
formed large number of people are
thrown out OF employment. This is
detrimental to the life of trade. While
the letter of the law is being complied
with it's spirit is violated. The RepuD-
lican party has passively viewed the
trend of events in this direction, but it
cannot afford at the next election to
openly support these vast monopolies.
The Democrats will probably make the
question one of the predominating is
sues of the presidential campaign, al
though the financial question in all It's
phases-silver, retirement of green
backs, national banks, etc.-will be in
the front rank"
