Washington, Nov. 27.-At the meet
ing of the cabinet the president i'm
pressed upon his ministers his views
on the Hanna-Payne ship subsidy
bill He expressed himself as unfav-
orable to the bill as presented at the
last session of congress, saying that
it showed specific favors to certain
steamship lines. His idea is that leg
islation for the upbuilding of the
merchant marine should be general in
character. giving to small and large
shipbuilding concerns like considera-
ton The last bill, as drafter by for

A HOLOCAUST IN DETROIT

and other injuries, all results OF the
explosion of one of the boilers IN the

and Brooklyn avenue, at 9:3o O'CLOCK
yesterday morning.
In addition dozen or more OF the
employees who suffered comparatively
SLIGHT injuries. aside from the shock,
were taken directly to their homes.
Eighteen men and boys have not as

homes or at the hospitals. The uniden-

three. a.d the officers of the company
say they feel positive that the major
portion of the remaining thirteen are
at their homes.
The Penberthy Injector company S
plant occupied a half square at the
corner of Abbott street and brooklyn

brick buildings, separated by SIN
teen-foot alley. The rear building,
in which the boiler was located and
which was completely destroyed, was
three stories in height. fifty-four feet
in depth and 100 feet wide. The boiler

most of the manufacturing was done.
There were four boilers in the plant,
two horizontal ones which furnished
steam for the engines, and two verti-

No Danger from Parasites.

There seems little danger from i'm
pOrtatiOn of parasites. With parasitic
and predatory insects the food habits
are definite and fixed. They can live
on nothing but their natural food, and
in its absence they die. The Australian
ladybird originally imported. for eX-
ample, viii feed upon nothing but scale
insects of a particular genus, and, as
a matter of fact, as soon as the fiuted
scales became scarce the California
officials had the greatest difficulty in
keeping the little beetles alive, and
were actually obliged to cultivate for
food the very insects which they were
formerly so anxious to wipe out Of
existence. With the Scutellista para
site the same fact holds. The fy itself
does not feed, and its young feed only
upon certain scale insects. and so with
all the rest.-EverybOd Magazine.

not be induced to return to the front

ladies to do any work in preparing the
tables, declaring that they would wait
on the girls. Adjutant Cuthbertson
was sufficient for the occasion and led
the charge. He was armed with & vio-
