Considerable interest attaches to the
new steam turbine-driven tOrpedo-boat
destroyer which c. A. Parsons is now
building at his ship building yard on
the Tyne. The boat is to be 200 feet
long, of 10000 horse power. which is
to enable her to steam. at the very
least, thirty five knots, or forty miles,
an hour. She will be twice the length.
six times the width, and is TO develop
q horse power five times greater than
the little Turbinia. which aroused such
interest ut the time of the great naval
review twelve months ago. Although
Mr.. Parsons gives only thirty-five knots
as the speed OF the boat he has In
hand, he hopes to get much higher
speed-in fact, forty-five miles an hour
out of her.

TRIUMPH OF THE LADY BUG.

One of the most serious criticisms
made of the department of agriculture
several years ago by eastern newspa-
pers concerned the money it had spent
In bringing LADY bugs" from AuStral-
ia to "infest" California and Florida or
chards. But the lady bug (Noyius car
dinalis) turned out to be one Of the

Now it appears that the little insect
has performed a like Office for the cit
rus groves of Portugal. Specimens
sent to Lisbon from this state in 1898
have taken hold of the scale and are
exterminating it. Though but few OF
the parasites survived the long jour

fecundity enabled them in the course
of two years to populate the groves
with millions of their kind. AS a re-
suit Portugal will be able soon to again
compete with Spain and Sicily for the
orange and lemon trade of Europe.
The success of the effort 10 eradicate

of keeping the department of agricul-

its antidOte and every flea has small

the two together is a proper function
of government. The way it has work

distance to which the search for the

certainly tends to encourage efforts.

DIET FOR RHEUM ATISM.
Fruits, Grains and Nuts and Free Use
OF Water.

PROFESSIONALLY the most active
cause of rheumatism, as we'll as OF
migraine. sick headache, Bright's dis
ease neurasthenia and number of
other kindred diseases is the general
use of flesh food, tea and coffee and al
coholic liquors, says Good Health. AS
regards remedies, there are no medi-
cal agents which are of any permanent
value in the treatment OF chronic
rheumatism. The disease can be REM
edied only by regimen-that is, by diet
and training. A simple dietary, con-
sisting of fruits, grains and nuts and
particularly the free use of fruits,
must be placed in the first rank among
the radical curative measures. Water,
il taken in abundance, is also means
of washing out the accumulated pois-
Ons. An individual afflicted with rheu-
matism in any form should live. so far
as possible, an Out-Of-dOor life, taxi
ing daily 4 sufficient amount of exer-
else to induce vigorous perspiratien.
A cool morning sponge. followed by
vigorous rubbing, and a moist pack to
the Joints most seriously affected, at
night. are measures which are worthy
OF a faithful trial. Every person who
is suffering from this disease should
give the matter immediate attention, as
it is a malady which is progressive and
is one of the most potent causes OF
premature old age and general physical
deterioration. American nervousness
is probably more often due to uric acid
or the poisons which it represents than
to any other one cause.
