Ames, April "a recent London letter
to the New. York Press confined q little.
paragraph in the miscellaneous items of.
not more than a dozen lines. but which
IN Of intense interest to Iowa people. 1t
told Of the departure Of Prof. Charles
w. Mally from the metropolis to Cape
Town. Prof. Mally had returned about
two weeks prior to his departure from
tour OF inspection and study IL the en-
4 toinological laboratories OF France and
Germany. His trip to the country now
the seat of war was to take charge OF
the government experiment station in!
entomology recently estab lished in Cape
Colony. Prof. Mally is an Iowa boy,
born and reared ON an Iowa farm and
educated In the Iowa Agricultural Col.
lege In this city. After he completed his
course in science here he served as as
Instant instructor in entomology for
about two years.
Soon after the department OF agricul.
sture q Ohio took from the college here
the learned and popular professor of
zoology and entomology. Prof. Herbert
Osborne. and placed him at the head OF;
similar department In that state Mr..
Mallys was selected as an assistant a.x,
he became a buckeye. He had been there
only about a year when an agent ofgthe
British government IN this country coIl-
suited Secretary Wilson as to a conpe-
tent man to take charge OF the station
which was designed for England's South
African country. Mr.. Wilson had seen
the work Of Prof. Mally. who had been
I'm his classes in Ames college and. later
heard some Of the secretarys' classes,
and he knew what he could do. So he
was recommended to the English agent
and. after thorough examination, he
was given the appointment. This is
4 probably the most important commits
sion ever given an American scientist
by any foreign country. Prof. Mally's
title ia assistant government entomol-
4oGist OF the United Kingdom OF Great
Britain and Ireland. For the present he
will supervise the work in South Africa.
The study OF African bugs is a field
practically unexplored and the British
government, along with the other opera
lions In the Africas these days. will take
up the matter of entomology very ex-
stensiyely, and systematically. It APP
pears that Britain Is preparing for the
development OF that country after the
close ef the present war. The field is
e broad one and the young American
scientist will have a good field for his
labors. Prof. dally is only % years old.
The appointment of Prof. Mally Is
zconaidered by the faculty OF the Ames
college = denomination OF the fact that
Great Britain has not only found this
country the best place in the world to
/ buy mules and army provisions. but also
to employ scientists who will assist in
the development of the Transvaal after
the war and the mules and army sup
plies are no more.

DEMOCRATS WILL NOT VOTE.
So Declared II Taken to London-Rcpub
iicnns Gone There For Meeting
of Their Legislature.

FRANKFORT, KY, Feb. 5.-Nearly
every member of the legislature has left
the city. the Republicans having gone in
tho direction of London, and the ma.
jority of the Democrats to their homes,
although small number of them have
gone to Cincinnati. Few, If any, of the
Democrats who have gone will return to
Frankfort until after the session of the
legislature, which Is called for tomor-
row at London, has been held. although
large number of them expect TO be
present at the funeral Of Governor
Goebel.
The let wing of the Democratic sena.
tors and representatives was upon the
advice Of their attorneys, who told them
that it would. all things considered, be
the best thing for them to 60 to their
homes. or to some place where they
could not be reached IN hurry should
attempts be made to arrest them and
take them to London, as had been
threatened, by the military forces OF the
state. 1t has been decided by the Demo.
Gratis that they will make no resistance
in the event Of arrest and conveyance to
london. but that when they arrive they
will not vote upon one subject that may
be brought before the session.
There have been numerous rumors
oil day that the Democrats intended to
hold a session of their own at some
place in the state outside of Frankfort.
Some times the rumors named Coving-
ton, and some times it was London.
Tho report could not be substantiated
in any way, however. Representative
&. I. Berry, who was about the only
member Of the house around the Capt.
tol hotel Sunday. said that he had been
advised to 60 away from Frankfort until
rfter the Republicans had started thoir
lession in London, but said that he had
decided to remain here. Ho denied that
thore was amy intention to hold Demo-
cratic session OF the legislature at some
place outside the capital OF the state.
