son and suck out the nourlshment Of the
plant without doing any damage to it
self. However, the louse does not breath
through it's mouth but through its body,
and the way to Kill II is to cover its
body with a substance that will stop up
the pores, thus preventing it's breathing.
The formula for this mixture is: One
half pound hard soap, cut up fine and
boiled in a gallon OF water After re-
moving from the fire add two gallons OF
Kerosene and the whole is stirred thor
oughly until mixed. To this add thirty
gallons OF water and then spray. OF
course in a pansy bed, in a hothouse, or
i'm a small wheat plot this method is
practical but with a quarter section of
wheat 1t is an endless lob to spray It.
However the unusually favorable con-
ditions this year have produced a strong
hardy growth of wheat and the prospects
are that the plants will outgrow the in
sect 80 that no serious damage from the
wheat lice need be feared by the farmers
OF this section.

The entire cost of the tunnel alone is
approximated at over s23 900, 600, and
of the connecting railroad line between
Spain and Algiers at about $40. .oot, 600.
The French press is said to criticise
the project unfavorobly on the ground
that Mr.. Berlier has overestimated the
earning power of the road, and that it
seems hardly credible that the passen-
ger and freight traffic between France
and Algeria could be diverted to this

NiCASAGUAN CANAL.
Treaty Regarding Its Construction Through
Nicaragua Signed.

Secretary Hay, Saturday morning,
for the government OF the United
States, and Senior Correa, the Nicara-
guam minister, for his own govern
ment, signed a treaty whereby the lat
ter government comedies to the gov
ernment of the United States the nec-
essary rights and privileges within her
bestowal for The construction of the
Nicaraguan canal
This action is taken in anticipation
OF congressional action upon the pend
ing Nicaraguan canal bill and the Hay
Pauncefote treaty. Pending the SUBJ
mission of the trerty to the senate,
which body must ratify the agreement,
its terms will not be made public.
1t is understood, however, that gen.
orally Nicaragua grants to the United
States government the exclusive right
to construct and operate the canal be-
tween the Atlantic and Pacific across
Nicaragua, including the free use OF
the San Juan river and of lake Mana
qua as part of the water course. Nj.
caragua is also to rid herself of any
outstanding treaties that would tend
in any way to abridge the privileges to
be acquired by the United States.
1t is understood also that Nicaragua
comedies to the United States full au.
thority to police the canal. Nicaragua
is to receive in compensation certain
amount of the securities of the Canal
Construction company, and although
it is not possible now to learn the fig.
ure set down in the treaty, it is be.
lieved to approximate $4,000, 900.
