BEES TO ExTERMINArE MICE
Philippine Insects to he Introduced
Into This Country for That
purpOse

The agricultural depar tment at
Washington is to make a determined
attack upon the American field
mouse. His determination in certain
localities has been resolved upon and
| the Philippine bumblebee is to be
brought into service as the execu-
toner.
This was the statement made by
Prof. c. III. Riley, of the department,
who passed through Chicago last
week route TO San Francisco and
the Philippines. Prof. Riley, of the
division of entomology. will devote
year in the Philippines to the study
of bugs and insects of the archipel-
ago. The cumming bird" humble
bee of the Philippines will be one of
the main objects of his inquiry. 1t
is planned to rapport the big bee of
the Philippines: into the United
States that he may make war upon
the American field mouse. a rodent
which has caused the farmers of the
country loss of thousands of dol
lars.
at is an OLD saying among farm
ers." said Prof. Riley. reports a Chi
cago paper, that when there is plen-
ty of clover there are lots of humble
bees. What the farmer really means
is that when there are lots of bum
blebees there is plenty of clover. He
might carry his logic further by say
ing that when field mice are scarce
there are plenty of bum bic bees and
that when there are plenty of cats
there are few field mice.
IN order to save the clover crops
of the country the agricultural de-
partment has the choice of two
things. to increase the number of
cats in the country. which will de-
stroy the field mouse. or to take
away from the rodent his supply of
winter food. Either method if sue
cessful would result in Il gain of
thousands of dollars o the farmers.
The field mouse is very fond of bum
blebee honey and never loses an OPP
pOrtunity to deprive / he insect of the
rewards of his work The honey
taken away from the bumblebee
causes him to perish in the winter
time Hence a short clover crop for
the bumblebee is a carrier of pollen
from one clover plant to another.
Thus when there are lots of bum BILE
bees clover comes to perfection. IF
the field mouse has. destroyed the
bumbleebec there is no insect that
can do its work in the summer time
and the farmers lose accordingly.
This is not only true of clover. but
many other plants.
''We hold that the bumblebee is a
| valuable member of insect society
and that the field mouse is a worth
less scamp who likes Il good dinner

Colorado seems unfortunate in the
s'ipshod manner in which legislation
is performed, as it seems the greater
part of its laws fall dead before the
rigid scrutiny of the courts, both State
and federal. On the Goth Judge Hallet
decided, in the case of Foster vs.. The
Portland Mining company, that one of
the clauses of the act providing for the
establishment of the state bureau of
mines unconstitutional. The plaintiff
was sueing for damages for falling in
to an open shaft, but the court found
the law requiring owners to fence or
cover abandoned shafts to he rider,
and did not belong to the original
measure. We never could see of what
benefit to the mining industry the crea-
tion of the bureau of mines was. 1t
simply serves to annoy operators, is
of no benefit to employees, fosters at
the expense of all few men who
should be compelled to earn their liv-
ing in private life. Colorado is ours.

industries and their associate interests.
Its utter ances are honest and fearless,
in fact its outspoken course against
questionable or shady mining transac-

A bill for a compulsory voting law
has been introduced in the Pennsylva-
MIA legislature. 1t requires every le-
gal voter to cast his ballot at all pri-
mary and general elections, under pen
atty of five dollars fine or ten days
Imprisonment. The only excuse ad-
mitted is illness or absence from the
county. There is no chance that the
bill will pass. The vast majority OF
men hold that every qualified male
voter should have the option of voting
or not, as he chooses; that he should
neither be compelled to vote because
the majority of men wish to do so, nor
debarred from voting, II he is the only

In operation, and that up to 1880 the
marble was hauled by oxen to the ship
ping points, which however is now done
, away with by the new railroad, which
is q masterpiece of engineering. OF
late years the blocks have been cut by
endless wire with the aid of water and
sharp sand. Employment is given to
1922 persons, and 2O4, 813 tons of a

Inventive cenius ia doing for the min

Inventive genius is doing for the min
ing industry what 1t has done for other
phases of our industrial life. 1t is lift
ing the vocation to a higher level and
framing for it magnificent successes
for the future. In ancient times sur
face mining was alone possible, for
there were not adequate appliances for
deep mining. The gold that was ham
mered into veneering for the temple
of King Solomon was probably plac-
er product, though it must be confessed
that the mines of Ophir have never
been definitely loca,ed by curious man
since they were lost in the remorseful
shuttle of passing years. The next
voluminous accumulation of gold
found by Pizarro with the Inca of Peru,
was also from the surface, for the an
cient Peruvians were not greater ad-
epts to deep mining than their trans
Atlantic cousins of the ancient world.
Before the days OF gunpowder for
blasting purposes the art of working
rock wa tedious process that prac-
tically destroyed the profits of mining,
even when slave labor was employed.
The ancient miner seems never to have
discovered the use Of lime in blasting,
as 1t was often applied in an early day
in the west when powder could not be
secured. Alternately layers Of damp
and dry lime in drill hole, remarks
an exchange, was comparatively
slow but effective process of breaking
rock. AS the water percolated from
the damp lime into the unslacked lime
q force was generated that could find
expression only by breaking the rock.
The advance made In mining during
the last few years has been marvellous.
Not only have machines been devised
to simplify the work and expedite min
ing Oper ations and increase the output
but chemistry has grasped the prob
lens of the underground world with
brilliant success. The treatment Of
ores has kept pace with their extraction
from the earth. Science has clasped
hands with invention and uttered
prophecy Of magnificisnt successes for
the future of the industry.

tits now q settled principle OF law
that when a locator of a mining or

Princess Said to Be Dissatisfied With
Huntington Will.
QUESTION OF her LEGAL ADOPTION
Suit to Break the VIII Would
Present Difficulties.
THE RUMORS IN FRISCO

SAN FRANCISCO, June 19.-Ever since
mention was made, several months ago,
that a secret search had been made Of the
records of Sacramento county to determine
If there was a record Of the adoption of
Princess HatZfedt by the late Coils P.
Huntington, there have been persistent ru-
mors that the princess has in contempla
tion a contest of the railroad builders will.
These rumors have been revived by the
arrival of Prince Hatzfeldt and Princess
HatZfeldt on this coast, and the fact that
the princess has gone to Sacramento oS
tensibly to visit her mother. The princess,
however disclaims any intention of begin
ming a contest. With Prince and Princess
Hatzfeldt in their western journey is their
attorney, Joseph D. Redding of New York,
and his presence here at this time has ac-
centuated the report that legal proceedings
of some sort are in contemplation. To all
inquiries Mr. Redding persistently replies
that he knows nothing of his clients in
tentions in this regard, while the prince
contents himself with the declaration that
he has nothing to give out at present.
Difficulties in the Way.
1t is pointed out that such a contest
would present unusual difficulty, for in Or
der to have the will declared invalid it
would be necessary to show that Hunting
ton was of unsound mind at the time he
made the WILL or that he was under i'm
proper influence that the will was
forged.
The will was executed about two years
before Huntingtons death. Then there is
the additional fact that the Princess Hatz-
feldt was mentioned in the will and was
provided for by giving her the interest on
$1,OO0,OOO during her lifetime, the prnci-
pal to go to her issue, or failing issue, to
such persons as she may. by will direct.
The princess cannot therefore rely on
claim of being pretermitted child, even
II she should produce documentary evil
dence of her adoption in regular legal
form. 1t is estimated that the Huntington
estate has increased 40 per cent since his
death 1t is in the question of residuary
legateeship that there rests bitterness
which may force the bringing of a contest,
residuary beneficiary. and it is possible
that he may receive over $40,G0Q,O00 as his
share.
Princess Share Seems PaItry.
In comparison with that figure the 81 O0O,
600 given to the princess appears very
paltry, and 1t Is not surprise to her
friends that she should express her dis
satisfaction. Whether this dissatisfaction
will materialize in a law suit is yet to be
seen. There is the clause in the will that
any one making a contest shall be cut
off from all share in the estate, but the
will of James G. Fair had a similar pro-
vision and the courts knocked it out.
Mrs Clara Prentice mother Of the prin
cess, asserts, it is said. that she signed
a document relinquishing her authority
over her daughter, and that Huntington
legally adopted the child. No record of this
adoption has been found, however. Gossip
goes so far as to say that contest pro-
ceedngs will be begun simultaneously in
this city and New York.

CLAIMS AGAINST MOROCCO
Consul Gummere Tells Why They Are
Not Being Pressed.

United States Consul Gummere at Tan
gier arrived in Washington this morning
and called at the State Department, where
he had long interviews with Secretary Hay
and Assistant Secretary Cridler respecting
conditions in Morocco, and especially the
status Of the unsettled American claims
against the government of that country.
The consul reported that the King Of Mo-
rocco never made the projected visit to
Fee. which was assigned as a reason for
the refusal of the court to give audience to
the consul in order that he might press
these American claims. On the contrary
the king has been in Morocco city continu-
ously for the last seven years. But his ad-
visers are not now in Morocco city, and
a. it was not practicable to make any head
way in the prosecution Of the claims in
their absence. Consul Gummere was en-
abled to take a much-needed leave of alb
sence without detriment to the interests of
the government. Mr.. Gummere says he is
simply on visit to his home and his pres
ence in Washington has no special signifi-

Captain Albers, her commander informed
a representative of the Associated Press
that he had never said his vessel would
cover the distance inside of five days No
special effort to attain high speed was
made.
The weather, on the whole, was favorable
to a fast passage. On the first day out a
light southeast wind was blowing and the
sea was smooth. During the second day
strong westerly wind blew. The third
day the sea was very rough. For the rest
of the passage fresh winds and moderate
seas prevailed.
The passengers seemed quite ignorant of
any attempt at rd-breaking.
