QUEER INSECT MENU.
Ants, Grasshoppers and Worms That Are Good to Eat.
French Naturalist Thinks They Would He Considered Dainties If We Could Only Overcome the
 Prejudice of Ages.

M. Daguin, a distinguished French naturalist, calls attention to the fact that insects are among the most whole some and harmless of creatures to eat, because they live almost exclusively .taceans, headed by the lobster, because they live upon dead things.
 M. Daguin is so impressed by the value of good insects as food, says the Chi cago American, that he has compiled a book on the subject, telling about-the ancient and modern races who have, fattened themselves on these humble creatu lures. : <
 great many savage races to-day re- gard insects as great de1icacy, and quite number of individuals in Flu rope have taken the same view. Dr. Gastier, a distinguished deputy, de- lighted to eat May bugs, which he skinned like shrimps.. When spring came one could not make him more welcome present than box of live May bugs. It seems that from time immemorial the insects of the coleop terra family have been greatly relished. Aelianus remarks that "the king of the Indians does not eat the fruit of the palm tree like Greeks, but he regales himself on a worm that grows in the in- terior of the tree"
 This worm, well known to natural ists, is the grub of sort of weevil. It is white, very fat and grows about three inches long. It is still eaten in India, where it is known as the palm worm.
 The same worm is found in the West Indies, ard, according to the natural ist, Labat, it is consideredia great deli cacy there. It is eaten raw, roasted or in cake. Some times the natives fry out the fat, which is considered the most delicious relish in the country. The Spaniards call them gusanos.

 Many ants, like bees, are honey bear CTS. These insects abound in Mexico. Rev. Father Cook has written an inter- esting study of one species of these ants abounding in that part of Colo rado known as the Garden of the Gods This ant is known as Myrmecocystus melliger. Certain individuals develop an abdomen as large as grape. These are the honey bearers. The Indians de- vour these insects eagerly.
 The termite, common ally known as the white ant, is cooked and eaten with joy by the people of Guiana. This is the most destructive of all the ants. It is not, strictly speaking, an ant. Mai. Serpa Pinto records the love of certain South African tribes for ants as diet. Sir Samuel Baker, governor of Equa- torial Africa, mentions that he tried fried white ants and found them very good.
 Prof. Koenig considers white ants very strengthening nourishment, but exciting and should be used with eau ton.
 Grasshoppers, sacred to the ancient muses, have long been a favorite food. Aristot tells us that the Greeks ate many varieties of grasshoppers.
 Prince Henry of Orleans rela tes that along the banks of the Mekong river. in Siam, young women hunt water grasshoppers, which they afterward sell in the market.
 Locusts are as much reised as grass hoppers. The plague of 1ocusts men tioned in the Bible doubtless consists of edible insects, but there were more of them than the Egyptians could di- gest at one time.
 The Arabs of the region where the children of Israel tarried so long. still gorge themselves with 1ocusts. Dio- dorus Siculus informs us that the Etbi- opians pot them and preserve their locusts with saltpetre.
 Many species of flies of the same family as our common house f1y are eaten. David Livingstone says that the people along the Congo make cakes out of small flies. They tasted to him like caviar.
 The Filipinos eat water beetles and worms, not to mention bats, which happen not to be insects.

DAWES WILL RETIRE
Comptroller of Currency to Be
 Candidate for Senator.
Wants to Succeed William E. MasO1 in the Upper HOuse-Some of the Reforms Carried Out
 Under His Direction.

Charles G. Dawes, the controller of the currency, has rendered his resig- nation to the president, to take effect October 1 next. In answer to an in- quiry, in explanation, MT. Dawes said: II have resigned because of my inten- tion to be a candidate before the peo- pie of Illinois for the United States senate. It would not be possible for me during the next year to make canvass for the senate and at the same administer to my own satisfac- tion the important and responsible office I now hold. I am influenced solely in this action by what seems to me the plain proprieties of the situation
 MT. Dawes term of office would not have expired until January 1, 1903.
 MT. Dawes entered the office of con- troller of the currency January 1, 1898, succeeding James H. Eckles, and was immediately confronted by the situation in the Chestnut Street na- tional bank of Philadelphia, which was one of the most complicated ever confronting controller. He found it necessary, in the interest of the creditors of the bank, to oppose the general plan of reorganization com mittee formed of prominent citizens of Philadelphia, and forNe time he was severely criticised thvrefor. His plan was followed, however, and it is now recognized as having saved to the creditors of the bank lien upon other property which was not con. templated by the reorganization com. mittee, from which they probably will realize over million dollars.
 The administration of the control 1er's office under MT. Dawes has been conspicuously one of business, and this has brought to him the unstint ed praise of banking and business in

terests throughout the United States. MT. Dawes has always been prompt in the line of duty, as was evidenced in the matter of the Seventh national bank of New York few days ago.
 One of MT. Dawes frstl orders, after entering office, stopped the practice of the employment of na- tional bank examiners for the private examination of banks. Early in his term he made a ruling levying a sec ond assessment upon stockholders of insolvent banks where the first as- sessment had been less than the law authorized, and he esta blished the practice of relating to stockholders such portions of the prior assessment as was determined by further liqui- dation to have been excessive under the law. This ruling changed the long established practice of the office and was upheld by the courts, prac- tically without exception. Controller Dawes also organized system of consolidation of insolvent banks in the last stages of liquidation in the interests of economy, so that at the present time 37 receiverships are be- ing administered by two receivers with greatly reduced expenses. He also has uniformly hastened the liqui- dation of insolvent banks. Upon en- tering office the flag ends largely of the national bank failures of the 1893 panic were still undisposed of. Dur ing the last four years he has collect ed $25, ,o0o,O ,OOO cash from these assets, which covered every description of property.
 One of the most prominent features of Controller Dawes administration has been his annual reports to con- gress. He came to office at a time when the monetary system of the country was subject of general in terest, and the arguments he ad- vanced in his reports became the sub iect of widespread discussion by the press and financial journals of the United States and England. He argued against bank asset currency under our present national bank system, and opposed, with vigor, the idea of a prior lien of the note holder over the depositor upon assets of insolvent banks. During his term he prepared

GUGLIELMo MARcoN1.

(1nventor and Perfecter of Wireless wireless te1egraph nsipfhrSRaytt Was that there was no way of protecting messages from the disturbances caused by other mes sages or by meteorological conditions. Privacy of messages was impossible, and too many stations caused hopeless confusion of signals. By the invention of an object which looks like big cyl finder of copper, with a wire reaching from the ground up through it's center, Marconi has succeeded in making the messages sent at one station receiv- able only at the particular station in- tended. He has thus made it possible to increase greatly the number of sta- tions in given locality without caus- ing trouble. A fexibility of operation approaching that of the wire telegraph has been the result.
 Other great improvements recently developed in wireless telegraphy have reduced enormously the height of the wires necessary to transmit and re- ceive signals, and have increased the distance to which messages can be sent. A portable apparatus which can be attached to a railroad car, and be ready for use even when the train is moving, is another development of in- terest. According to Marconi, the prob lens which proved too severe for wire less telegraphy in the Boer war in South Africa are now easy of solution.
 Marconi devoted "a large part of his address to refuting the statement that the wireless telegraph was not yet commercial proposition. He named a score of places in various parts of the globe where public messages were be- ing handled at regular rates with profit. Over 35 ships of the British navy have been provided with the ap- ,paratus, and practically all lightships and detached lighthouses belonging to Great Britain have been fitted with it. Many lives and much property have been saved with it's assistance. The Borkum ightship, belonging to the German government, on Borkum riff, reports 565 commercial messages re- ceived from May to October, of which 518 came from ships, mostly the North German Lloyd steamers.
 If improvements continue to be made in the next five years as in the last five it is safe to say that wireless telegraphy will play large part in the industrial and commercial life of the near 4uture.

HAS MADE PROGRESS
Marconi's Wireless Telegraph More
 Than an Experiment.
Young Inventor Claims That It yViIB Play am Important Part i'm the Indu@trial and Trade Life
 of the Future.

In a recent lecture delivered before the British Society of Arts, Guglielmo Marconi, the perfecter of wireless te- legraphy, reported progress. Marconi has been actively at work for several years on the commercial installation of his system throughout the world and in developing, experimentally new devices and methods of transmitting signals through space without wires An authoritative statement from him amounts to a summary of what has been accomplished up to date with the new wonder.
 First reports of the work of the wireless telegraph indicated that, while it was extremely interesting from scientific standpoint, in prae- tice it possessed such important limi- tations as to make it of no great conn mercial value, except in few places where conditions were peculiar. The reports of the failure of the system as tried during the operations of the British army in South Africa tended further to confirm the idea that the wireless telegraph would never reach a position of great industrial value.
 10 Peop1e possessing these lucas, says the Chicago Inter Ocean, the statements of Marconi will carry great enlightenment. By number of most ingenious inventions and devices he has done away with the principal drawbacks at first experienced, and has. developed a new system of wire less telegraphy which is as far ahead of the one, used by him at the begin ming as his first work was in advance of the original experiments of Hertz and Henry. In fact, he states that the system and apparatus he first put in use are out of date and practically valueless, and are being rapidly super seded by his new inventions.
 The principal and vital objection ob- served in the first installations of tbe

abilities, but there are fruit stores in the downtown district, says the
 Chicago Tribune, that have found it necessary to serve the drink to pa
 irons who have heard of the delights of tamarindade. ''The beauty of tama
 rindade," said fruit dealer, "is that it is tart without being so bitter as lemonade. It needs no sweetening. Southerners take it because it heads off fever. Chicago people may take it because it is the best substitute for lemonade and does not cost so much. It is made by soaking the tamarind
 seeds in water and pressing out the juice. Lemonade may have been the proper beverage when men rode out to the croquet grounds on tricycles gand grew thirsty, but ih the days 9 golf links and automobiles lemonade must give way. Tamarindade is the thing" Incidentally it is recalled that the lime, once despised as thing of no marketable worth, is now as much of asnecessity where drinks are served as is it's bigger brother the lemon. A like career is predicted for the tam arind. Gin rickies have made the lime an article of commerce, and now at certain seasons of the year the mar ket is almost barren of them. A dozen years ago the fruit growers of Califor- mia merely tolerated the lime. It comes from hardy tree and little cul- tivation is needed. That is why it was not rooted up in favor. of some more profitable growth. Now there is big money in the lime.

The young man came to America, where he remained until he was "cured'' of his love for a princess He succeeded his father as Lord Reve1stoke in 1897. Several times since then his name has been coupled with that of Princess Victoria as a probable match. It is this affair which is supposed to have restrained the princess from marriage. On the other hand, it is said that she is aff1ict- ed with epilepsy, which would also ac- count for the fact of her having re- mained single so long.
