NOTES OF THE

JAPAN, CHINA AND KOREA TO
SEND IMPERIAL COMMISSIONS
-CEYLON APPROPRIATES $l75OO.

Japan, China and Korea will each be
represented at the Worlds Fair by an
imperial commission.
r. II. Henry chief commissioner to
the Worlds Fair for Mississippi has
visited twenty counties of the state
and made over thirty addresses in the
interest of the Mississippi exhibit.
Mississippi has never exhibited at an
international exposition before, and
now promises most liberal representa-
ton for st. Louis.
Capt. j. H. Burnham of Blooming
ton, ILL.,, will soon visit several states
in the interest of the Worlds Fair eX
hibit of the Illinois Historical Society.
The collection when complete Will in
clude prehistoric remains, historic
maps and charts, photographs of his

men and women, original documents,

nituTe, books and specimens interest
ing relics, etc.
An Epworth League hotel with 500
rooms for league members visiting che
Worlds Fair is one of the lates: pro-
jeCts to care for the guests of 1904 in
St. Louis.
1t is estimated that the attendance
at the Worlds Fair at st. Louis in 1904
should average 10000 persons daily.
The estimate is based upon the popu-
latiOn within 500 miles of the city in
comparison with the population within
the same distance of Chicago and the
attendance at the Columbia Exposition
of 1898. While Chicago had a larger
population within her city limits, St
Louis will have much greater expo
sition and the people win have better
facilities for travel.
A plan is under way for the thorough
protection of visitors to the Worlds
Fair in 1904. If the arrangement is
carried out in its completeness thou
sands of reputable citizens will wear
a badge indicating their membership
in an organization formed for the pur
pose of directing visitors to reliable ho-
tells boarding houses and private hOus-
es where lodgings may be procured at
reasonable rates. With reasonable
care any visitor may escape being vic
timized by confidence men and other
crooks who are unaVOidably present
during such events as the great expo
stions.
The question of which state shall be
first to start the construction of q state
building at the Worlds Fair seems to
rest with Kansas, Iowa and Illinois.
All three are about ready to let their
contracts. Colorado is also among the
leaders.
The Government of Ceylon has set
aside ST. 800 for that islands represent
alton at the Worlds Fair of 1904. APP
plication has been made for space, and
it is proposed to have a large Ceylon
Tea House with supplementary eXhi-
bits illustrative of Ceylon and it's in
dustries.
1t is not improbable that the cele
brated Dr. r. Koch will be among the
visitors to the Worlds Fair. a letter
from him to DR.. George Brown of At
lanta Ga, expresses his Willingness to
come as the delegate from Germany if
that government decides officially 10
take part in the tuberculosis Congress
at st. Louis in 1904.

Ian TANA BUG DOING
GOOD WORK
ON MAUI
MANY ACRES OF THE ENCROACH-
ING SHRUB DEVASTATED-CAM-
PAIGN AGAINST ROOT, BRANCH
AND LEAF-PLANTERS GLAD.

The lantana blight is doing excellent
work on the Island of Maui. Looking
up Waikapu and lao Valleys acres of
blackened lantana show where the in
sects have done their deadly work
The leaves of the shrub gradually
blacken until the whole bush be-
comes a mere skeleton and the leaves
drop off. The process is gradual and
blossoms may be seen at the ends of
branches when the rest of the bush
looks as if it had been charred by fire.
SO far the blight affects nothing else.
The vines which in some places Irvine
over the shrubs, the plants which
spring up within their shadow, are
green and unaffected while the lanta-
ma dies. The planters are elated over
the prospects of redeemed land but are
anxious to get full importation of the
lantana bugs as sent by Professor Koe-
belle from Mexico, particularly the borer
which attacks the root as the present
blight while affecting the shrub above
ground leaves the root alive and con-
slant menace.
With a borer at the root, beetle and
the blight on the leaves and the but
terflies which eat the flowers, there is
a prospect of many acres of reclaim
ed land being speedily ready for Gull
tivation without the heavy expenses
of ordinary clearing, at 500 or more
an acre.
The progress of the present blight.
while effective, is slow and barely
keeps pace with the spread where the
land is left to itself and the spread of
the blight is not artificially aided.
Waikapu valley, Cor example is almost
impossible through the jungle of ever
incroaching lantana where the blight
has not yet reached.

that she could break in any colt, and
she brought up her daughters to share

and she had also a stud farm in the

Second Trip
Of The Oregon
Over Pacific

SAN FRANCISCO. October II
Although the United States
battleship Oregon received sail
ing orders which We're to have
gone into effect on the 18th of
this month, the warship still lies
in the stream and her departure
has been postponed until the 25th
of October.
The delay is caused by the
scarcity of able seamen in the
navy and the difficulty expert
enced in securing enlistments.
The Oregon is coaled, loaded
with ammunition and ready for
sea but is held here awaiting
the arrival of jackies from the
East. A large number of sailors
and petty officers are required to
give the Oregon a full compile
ment and until they are secured
the vessel cannot sail.

SOME ODDS AND ENDS

Underneath the town of Norwich;
England, are numbers of brine springs,
which were used for the preparation
of salt even before the Christian era.
Owing to the immense excavations oc-
casioned by the pumping UP of this
brine, the main street of the town is
now to be raised four feet. AS recent
1y as 1892 it was raised five feet, and
again the thoroughfare is on a level
with the River Weaver, which runs
close by. The property to be lifted
consists of hotels and large shops, i'm
der which hydraulic jacks are placed.
and as the structures are raised wood
en- wedges are inserted. So accurate is
the work done that business is car
ried on as usual during alterations"
and but little inconvenience is expe:
rienced by the families. ~. ~ :.
Nearly every little local custom in
England can be traced by the antigua
rian back almost to prehistoric times,
and in ssthe interesting tradi itipn,s that:

customs. It may have been habit

the far-away administration in Wash

the control of the United States. Tu-
tuila, the largest, has population OF
some 4,000s and is of the greatest i'm
portance, because it possesses the mag
nificent harbor of Pago Pago, the fin

the war ships belonging to Uncle Sam
could ride in safety without the slight

Orders for the re-establishment OF

Admiral Cromwell has been ordered to
proceed at once to Europe and assume
command Of the station. For the pres
ent his squadron will consist of the
cruiser Chicago, flagship, and the
cruiser Albany and the gunboat Nash
willie. The Chicago is now the flag
ship of the South Atlantic station, but
has received orders to proceed from
Rio de- Janeiro, Brazil, :toe. Gibraltar,
and the, Albany and Nashville have al.
ready left Cavite* for suez, where they
are to receive. orders from Rear Admi-

department that one of:the newer bat
tleships will be ordered to the Euro
pean station some time in the fall. It
is more than probable that either the
Kearsarge or the Alabama will be Sc

station was abandoned in 1898, just
