LADY BUG VERSUS SCALE.
Department of Agriculture Plans
Unidue Scheme.

The department of agriculture is
preparing to fight the rayages OF the
San Jose scale throughout the country
with it's natural enemy, the lady bug,
brought from the interior of China.
Assistant Botanist Marlatt has just re-
turned from the Orient, where he
sought the original home of the dread
ed scale. Far in the interior OF the
latter country, where European plants
had not penetrated, he found the scale
and also the lady bugs which kept the
scales in subsection and permitted the
native plants to flourish. MIR. Marlatt
started home with a good supply OF
these lady bugs, but only sixteen sur
vived on arrival in this country and
fourteen of these subsequently died.
The two remaining are nursed careful
ly by the government with a view to
fighting the scale in the same manner
as in China. There are now fifty OF
them requiring the constant gathering
of scales from the department grounds
for food. While not expecting the
scales to be exterminated from this
country, experts are planning to attack
them with the increasing breed OF
their natural enemy.

SCHOOLS IN PORTO RICO.
Remarkable Thirst of the Natives

James Preston, who has just return
Philadelphia Record: There are about
fifty American schoolhouses in Porto
Rico now-the Washington, the Lin
coin, the Penn, the Mckinley. the JEFF
ferson, the Irving, the Hamilton. and
so on-and about 1900 pupils are at
tending them. One of the principals
pointed out to me young girl of sew
enteen. very pretty, who walked, he
explained. twenty miles to and from
school daily, slept on bare floor and
begged nearly all her food, she was so
poor. This was one of his best stu
dents.
"a boy had on a shirt so much too
big for him that his whole person
could have slipped through the opening
at the neck What's the trouble with
your shirt, my lad?' the principal ask
ed. The boy answered: This amt mine;
it's fathers. Mines in the wash That
boy would have come naked rather
than have missed a lesson. In a town
l visited there is a night school. The
men who attend it bring their own
candles and sit on the schoolroom floor
in groups of three one candle to each
group. The intelligence of the Porto
Ricans, their teachers say. is as re-
markablC as is their thirst after knowl-
edge. No truant officers are needed
down there"

A New Boat Scheme.

A Hamburg engineer is exhibiting
the model of a new kind of steamer
in Paris, says the Indianapolis Senti-
mel. The most noticeable feature Of
Herr Brohan's vessel is the disposal
of the propellers, of which there are
four, one forward, another just before
the rudder and two at the stern. The
vessel is fat bottomed. but there is a
short keel in the center and two false
keels forward, which would keep the
hull off the bottom in case of ground
ing and between which the first men,
toned screw revolves. The inventor
believes that with a steamer 300 feet
long, built according to design, he
could make the passage from Havre to
New York in four days.

common room, where formal English
dessert is served to them, with port
and sherry, nuts and fruit. If later on
they go down town, they may be "gat-
ed"-that is to say. if they do not re-
turn before 0 o'clock they are fined
sixpence and If not before II o'clock
a shilling.
Each college has two proctors. four
proproctors and four bulldogs"
group of ten unsleeping fellows VINO
in all sorts of DISCUSSES prowl about
the town looking for undergraduates
who are doing wrong. A proctor can,
if he is i'll natured, lead an undergrad
uate an insufferable life. for Oxford
is old, it's system never changes. and
hence it has many absurd rules. These
rules are usually regarded as dead let
ters, but a grabbed proctor may bring
them to life at any time.
Life at oxford is expensive and pleas
ant. The atmosphere to a youth of
literary bent is the most inspiring one
in the world. but this atmosphere does
not appeal to the mathematical and
scientific youth. He goes to Germany.
for the German universities have far
outstripped in science their old Eng
lish sister.
The course at oxford is three year
one. A scholarship of $1,000 annually
is not lavish sum to pursue it on.
