JUSTICE TO THE DRAGON FLY.

Apropos OF the recent discovery that the
dragon fly is a destroyer of mosquitoes
and as such is entitled to all the protec-
tion that can be extended, ii Is interest
ing to learn that the investigators and
scientists of the army and navy hospital
have been fore stalled in this discovery
by the negroes of lower Louisiana. The
dragon fly Is known under different names
in different sections of the United States.
Ir some sections II is known under tie
name of the ''snake-doctor," In others the
name of "big-head fly prevails. while
dragon fly is. perhaps. the most general
designation under which this insect is
known, but in Louisiana 1t Is known as
the mosquito hawk to the exclusion of
all other designations.
The name dragon fly is unknown in
lower Louisiana, where the insect has
never oeen known under any other name
than that of the mosquito hawk" and
where 1t is the object of what many have
consid cred a myth, but which. in the light
of recent Investigations. turns out to be
a bit of good, sound reason and fact. For
a long time the negroes of that section
have clung to the belief that the mo

EDWARD AND THE LIBERTY BELL.

When King Edward VII. then Prince
Of Wales. and travelling as Baron Rem
frew, visited Philadelphia In 1860 one OF
the places he particularly expressed a
desire to visit was Independence hall.
There he spent very considerable time,
examining every object and asking many
questions. In the Declaration chamber he
was shown the liberty bell. which, Il In
said, was stored in a corner and sur
rounded by lot of boxes and rubbish
Tine prince expressed great surprise that
an object which so justly deserved ven
Grafton should be treated with so little
respect, and IT Is said that. turning to
the mayor, he exclaimed, This bell
should be treasured and reverenced by
the people of the United States as their
most precious heirloomr That remark
stirred a ripple of thought I'm the right
direction; but II operated slowly. and
although talk of restoring Independence
hall became general. and interest In IL
grew and was accelerated by the CEN
tennial. nothing of a substantial nature
was done until a few years ago. To the

luton and the city of Philadelphia the

Talking on the silver question, Mr..
Bryan said: while India has suspended
the coinage Of silver. she still uses silver
as her money, and England coins large
number OF rupees annually for India $
needs. If Mexico were TO adopt the sold
standard, it would reduce still further the
price Of silver. and it Mexico in spite of
being a large producer of silver, were TO
discard that metal as standard money.
it is not improbable that India and China
might be led by the same influence to do
the same thing While this is only spec
ula.tion, it is a possibility that must be
considered, and an addition of seven hun
dred millions of people to the present
using popula ton OF the world, would
cause an enormous demand for gold over
and above the present demand. No one
can estimate accurately the effect Of such
a demand on the purchasing power OF
gold, but it could hardly fail materials
