inch in length. and In some places
there is a network of them, almost

methods are employed to rid the trees
OF the pests. one being to knock the
worms on with a stream OF water and
then wrap the trunk of the tree with
fly paper to prevent their crawling up

LIQUID FUEL IN EUROPE.-The
scarcity and high price Of coal have
given much impetus to the con-
struction OF apparatus for using
liquid fuel, petroleum, benzlne,
and gasoline, and competent au-
thorities are sang uine Of success.
The advantages of liquid fuel,
when properly applied, are obvi-
Gus. There is no smoke, no stok
ing, no ashes or cinders, no incom.
plete combustion; the fire can be
started or shut off at a moments
notice; a more even temperature
can be maintained than by the use
OF coal or wood, and the fire can
be regulated by the mere turning
OF single cock. There is no dust
or dirt, no spacious coal sheds are
required, and there is no danger OF
spontaneous combustion, as ire
quentlY happens with coal.
1t Is claimed that petroleum and
its manufactures will soon TO a
great extent supersede the use OF
coal for manufacturing purposes,
and therefore the supply oi petro
leum becomes OF great importance.
Statistics show that the United
States and Russia are between
them producing, in round num-
bers, Izo, 900, 900 barrels a year
and that the production OF outside
countries has Of late increased so
much that they are able to con-
tribute enough now to bring the
worlds aggregate annual produc-
tion to about $50, ,ooo, 900 barrels,
1t is well known that the produc-
ton OF Russia is much less now
than it might be, owing 10 the lack
OF enterprise Of the people and to
inadequate transportation facilities,
which cause the price to be higher
even in Germany, adjoining Rus
sia, than that of American petro-
leum, which has to travel thou
sands of miles.
What is true Of Russia is even
more true OF Asiatic countries, like
Persia. The increased demand
will stimulate the exploitation oi
oil telds in the different lands.
Railway companies are trying oil

line has adopted oil for firing un-

JOHANNESBURG AND ITs Fort --
Unlike Pretoria, which lies in a
narrow cup-shaped valley, Johan-
nesburg is built on the slope of the
bare tTeeless downs which consti-
tute the Witwatersrand. The fort
has been erected on the crest OF
the hill, and dominates the whole
Of the town which lies outstretched
beneath it: 1t also commands the
level summit OF the hill on both
sides to the right and LETT, and a
distance OF a mile to a mile and a
half Of level ground at the back
which extends between it and
where the hillside breaks abruptly
away into a valley lying nearly
a thousand feet below. II is an
ideal position for a fort, for IL
would be impossible for an enemy
to approach it unobserved, or, if
the houses in its immediate vicin-
ity were destroyed, to obtain cover
while making an attack. The walls
Of the fort consist OF sloping banks
Of earth about thirty feet in height,
crowned on the top by an embra-
sured parapet. Inside these earth
banks are bombproof concrete
chambers for the mrn to live in ,
and within the gaol is a well, so
that there is no danger oil a scarcity
Of water. At the time OF our visit

PROTECTING SONG BIRDS IN
SWITZERLAND. Switzerland has
not many feathered songsters; but
those that do exist are carefully
protected, not only by law, but by
the fostering care OF the people,
particularly the German speaking
people Of Switzerland. In 1875, a
law was enacted prohibiting the
trapping or killing or song birds,
or the robblng or molesting Of their
nests in any part OF the Alpine Re
public. But in northern Italy,
bird murder is epidemic, and this
spirit has spread over the Swiss
Italian Canton OF Eessin, where the
willow wren, hedge sparrow, black
cap, swallow, nightingale, and lit
tie singers Of all kinds are victims
of the trap, the net, and the gun.
AS the seasons come and go, the
Swiss birds make their pilgrimage
south, and in going and returning
across .he land Of northern Italy
and the Swiss Canton OF Tessln,
they are mercilessly pursued by
hunters OF all ages and classes.
On the lake Of Maggorie it is estim
ated that at least 90, 900 Of the
ieathered songsters are trapped or
killed every year, and in the region
round about Bergamo, Verona,
Ohiavena and Brescia, MANY mil
lions are indiscriminately slaugh-
tered to satisfy the demand OF the
tables and Of the millinery estab-
lishments OF the world.
One Of the schemes is to cover
the limbs Of trees, and OF the rocks,
and even the telegraph lines along
the line Of the bird migrations with
a certain paste Of such adhesive
qualities that whenever the birds
stop in their flight for rest or food,
they are held helpless captives;
hundreds are often captured in a
very small space BY this simple
means.

ployed and is gaining IN tavor'
whereby the oil is evaporated by
being mixed with hot air. This is
said to be an improvement on the
method OF employing a steam jet.
Nothing seems to be in the way OF
a more extensive use Of Gil for fuel
except the price,
Benzine and gasoline are used to

fercnt purposes, and their use IS
constantly increasing. A benzine-
worked locomotive, constructed at
the Deutz Gasmotor Works, near
Cologne, has been running in ths
third level of the Laurahutte COL
liery, in the Kattowitz coal district,
for over a year. With the eNceP-
ton OF a sligh arrangement. which
was readily repaired, the locomo-
tive has performed its work satis
factorily and without interruption.
The actual work performed by the
locomotive is the hauling IN one
trip of from thirteen to fourteen
buckets loaded with ore, weighing
about I ,375 pounds, or about Iao
metric tons per shift. To do this
the consumption of benzine is
about pounds and the daily ex
penses, including interest on in
vestment and sinking fund, wages
ofengine driver, benzine and lubri'
cants, are $3.50; so that the cost
OF hauling I metric ton (2,2oo
pounds) is ~ cents, against SO
cents with horses. AS the engine
is closed on all sides, so that the
driver can only get at the interior
by using a key, the danger OF eX
plosion is practically obviated. No
inconvenience from the odor emit
ted has been experienced by the
miners working in the level.

is proposed that after 1900, the

The powerful influence exerted by
trivial circumstances receives new em-
phasis in the fact that the officials of
the United States treasury regard the
recent petition for the coinage of half
cents as fresh indication of business
prosperity. Since billion cents are
already in circulation, and since there
is a monthly coinage of four millions
more. the supply OF small change is
certainly not scanty. There are two
sides to the question of adding the new
coin to the list. Asa Gray once at
