Locusts as Food.

In Morocco entire wagonioads of To-
Gusts are brought to the market in Fee,
because they form irregular article Of
food for the Moors who inhabit this
part of North Africa. Here, also, the
locusts are eaten in every style,
picked. salted, simply dried, smoked,
or in any other possible way, except
raw. The natives on the northern
coast of Africa prefer locusts to
pigeons, and they eat from two hun
dred to three hundred at a sitting.
They remove head, wings and legs,
boil them for half all hour in water,
then add salt and pepper, and fry them
in vinegar. In similar way locusts
are prepared at other points in Africa
and Asia. Preserved in salt pickle
they form staple article of commerce.
Locusts in Africa are also compressed.
when fresh, in barrels, and are then
dished out like butter at meal times.

Pending developments, further discus
sion Of the Outlanders' demands has been
suspended.
According to the Cape Town correspond
ent Of the Daily Mail President Kruger's
resignation is regarded as a cute move to
create crisis for the purpose OF tiding
over the interval until the rainy season
begins. The correspondent says tn at the
Dutch extrem SITS ascribe it to Il deep
British game for the pensioning of Presi-
dent Kruger in order to allow the seizure
of the country.
The Volksraad, while maintaining its op-
position to President Kruger's views on
the dynamite concession, is said to have
given its assurance that it still has the ut
most confidence in the President, and he
withdrew his resignation. AS to the diff
ference of opinion on the question of the
dynamite concession, Genera! P. J.
Joubert, Vice-President Of the Republic,
and the majority of the Volksraad favor
cancellation of the monopoly, while Presi-
dent Kruger supports it.

Earlier Scouts Were Originally Hunters.

Earlier scouts Were Originally hunters.
The earlier scouts, like Kit Carson
and Jim Bridger, were originally
trappers and hunters, born and reared
in Missouri, Tennessee and Kentucky,
who had fondness for adventure.
They had pushed their way across the
border of civilization of those days
and had gone upon the plains of Kan
sas, Nebraska and Texas for big game
and excitement. The Mexican war
in 1913 and the movement of troops
through Texas and along the Rio
Grande brought scouting into the
army service. When the era of OK
teams and trains of excited gold-seek-
ers headed toward California began in
1849, there was great demand for
scouts at very profitable wages. Hun
dreds OF young men with smattering
of plains life, an expertness in fire
arms and little knowledge of In
dians' ways, became professional
scouts. No emigrant train would
leave st. Joseph, Mo-, or Leaven-
worth, Kan, on it's journey of four or
FIVE months to the Pacific Ocean,
without an accompanying scout or
guide for at least part of the way.
AS the chain of army garrisons was
extended out upon the plains the War
Department employed more and more
scouts for the troops, and scouting be-
came sort of science of the plains in
which there was competition in expert
ness. During the Apache and Sioux
wars in 1877, 1878 and 1879 the Gov
ernment had about 1900 scouts on its
army payrolls. Then the Indians.
who had adopted white mans ways,
became scouts, and the pursuit of the

MONTREAL BANK SUSPENDs.
News of Defalcation by Two Employees
Causes a Run by Depositors.

MONTREAL, Que. (SpeciaD. = Montreal
financial circles were disturbed by the an
nolncement that the Bank Vile Marie,
which did large business throughout the
Province of Quebec. had suspended pay
ment. The direct cause of the b ,nk's sus-
pension was run by depositors, who had
heard rumors of defalcation of two OF
the banks employees. F. X. Lemieux, ac-
countant, and J. J.. Herbert, teller Both
officials are accused of having systemat-
ically robbed the bank for some time.
Over $50 900 has been taken.
One of the accused men went to New
York couple of weeks ago, and it was
during his absence that suspicion was
aroused. On his return few days ago he
was accused, and it is said owned up to the
theft, and promised to make restitution.
The bank has capital of $500, 900 and had
deposits of over $1,000, 900, many Of the
farmers in Quebec having accounts.
Lemieux was arrested at his summer
residence at st. Anne, near Montreal, on a
charge of defrauding the bank. He was
brought to Montreal and placed In the cells

THE WILDER FILlPlNCS.
More Interesting Than the Partially Civ
iliZed Tribes.

Civilization assuredly works won
ders in community, but it often rem
ders the community less interesting
or at least less picturesque, than be-
fore. That was what Professor Wor'
cester, who visited Palawan, of the
Philippine Islands, thought when he
contrasted the wild Tagbanuas with
their partially civilized brethren. The
wilder people were to him the more
interesting.
Their small village houses of BAN.
boo were perched high in the air.
When the inhabitants wanted to write
letter, they took fresh joints of BAN
boo for note-paper, and scratched
their letter in vertical columns, like
the Chinese. They had simple sylla-
bic alphabet in common use, pointing,
in Professor Worcester's opinion, to e
time when they possessed a higher
civilization than at present.
These peculiar people were not with
out form of government. The affairs
of each community was administered
bya council of old men. who dispensed
Justice according to tradition and their
own sense of what was right.
It is to be inferred that man
thought twice before accusing his
neighbors of a grave offence, for the
method of Judging was something of
an ordeal, as we'll to accuser as to ac-
cused. When any one was charged with
q serious crime, the old men conducted
him and his accuser to some deep
pool, and there, in the presence OF re-
latives and friends, caused them to
dive beneath the water. He who re-
NAMED under the longest was ac-
counted to have spoken the truth.
The religious beliefs of these in
habitants of the Philippines were as
peculiar as their leas about justice.
AS to future life, they considered
that state to be the privilege of the
good. The bad, they believed, were
judged after death, and when found
guilty, were pitched into fire and
completely consumed.
They had their theory of evolution
also, only in their case the man had
not been evolved from the monkey,
but the monkey from the man. When
asked why the monkey looked so much
like man, they said it was because
he was once man, but he was very
lazy, and would not plant rice. Then
his companion threw stick at him,
whereupon he assumed his present
state, the stick becoming his tail.

TeIegraphing Without Wires

The world of science and the asso-
ciated world of trade and news have
been considerably stirred by the re-
port of the success of Signor Marconi,
electrician and inventor, in telegraph
ing from the South Foreland Light
house on the English coast to Boulogne-
sur-Mer, in France, without con.
Meeting wire. The distance is thirty
two miles, and is the greatest distance
that Marconi's mechanism has as yet
overcome, though his experiments
have been successfully conducted for
many months. The principles of
which he avails himself were discover
by other Investigators, but he has
been highly successful in devising an
apparatus by which they are put to
practical use. 1t takes some knowl-
edge of electricity to understand pre-
cisely wha. his apparatus is, though
it is described as so simple that boy
can make and use it. His messages
are carried by electrical waves, which
he excites with a transmitter at one
point and reads by means of a receiv-
er at another. The distance which
the waves will travel depends, appar-
entity, on the heights of the vertical
conductor of which he makes use.
With conductor eighty feet high
he can signal eighteen miles. His
messages will pass through mountains
without hesitation, and are not affect
ed by storms. His system is now
practically useful to enable ships at
yea to communicate with one another
and with the shore, for telegraphing
through mountains, and for other
purposes. What the ultimate devel-
opment of it may be is past guessing,
but it is not expected to supersede the
telegraph, and copper stocks are not
as vet affected. -Harpers Weekly.

GEOLOGICAL REPORT.
What Wheeling Correspondent Says
If The First Volume
Special Correspondence

One of the most important docu-
ments treating of the states resources
is the first volume OF the reports on
the state geological survey compiled
by DR.. |. G. White, state geologist,
and within its pages is confined a
mass of instructive and interesting
data. Full Justice to the work can
only be done by a perusal OF its pages.
1t is interesting to learn, however,
that the first use Of oil and gas by
white men began in this state, and
that nearly all the drilling machinery
was invented by West Virginia opera
tors, as well as the fact that before
oil was discovered in Pennsylvania, IL
was a business in the Little Kanawha
valley, oil selling from 80 to 40 cents
a gallon between the years 1847 to
1860
Accompanying the first volume of
the report is the first map ever issued
by the state, it showing the distribu-
tion of coal fields, oil and gas wells
The second report, soon to be publish
ed, will pertain particularly to coal,
and will also have an article on the
Literature of West Virginia Geology.

SOME POLITICAL NOTES.
One Of Them Refers to Morgantown
Man.

These notes are from the Wheeling
News:
Col Robert McEldowney, of the
Wetzel Democrat, is enjoying the us
ual spring boom for congressman and
governor. He's gotten so used TO it,
however, that he doesn't seem To
mind il any more. But seriously,
Col. McEldowney would make good
candidate for any Office he might he
named for.
Speaker o. S. Mckinney says, in a
Charleston Herald interview that he
is not candidate in any sense of the
word for governor. He even says he
wouldn't have the office. The speak
er then added that his choice of dem
ocratic candidates for governor is
Clarence Smith, whom, he says, is
closer to him ethan brother. =
Nothing like keeping good things in
the family.
"The suggestion of Col r. E. Fast,
of Morgantown, for the republican
nomination for governor is good
one" said republican yesterday.
EAST is one OF the ablest of tha
younger republicans in the state and
has genius for politics. He took
front rank in the state senate when
elected to that body and held ii
through his term. United to this
knowledge of politics he is also law
yer of standing and recognized ability.
He would make splendid candidate
