Clever Form OF Fraud


Clever Form OF Fraud.
Many an English and American col.
lector with more money and enthusf-
asm than knowledge Of natural history
has In his cabinet specimens of beetles
which are. beyond anything that ma
ture ever attempted. They are the
victims OF beetle fakinS' industry
which turns out annually thousands OF
the fraudulent bugs and manages to
sell them in this country apd elxewber
10 amateur naturnlists at high prices.
md the dupes show them proudly to
their friends as extremely rare insects.
as indeed they arc, for they are like
nothing else in the animal kingdom.
The manufacturer OF beetles does not
eonfine himself to giving TO his speci.
mems rare and strange colorings. but
he makes them up from fragments OF
other beetles In the manner which
strikes his fancy, and this fancy is
otten very whimsical indeed Nature.
especially in the tropics, produces bee
ties of strange form, but never so
strange as those which come out OF
the shop OF man. Auction sales of
damaged collections OF specimens of
NNNA~S oNtNhNcd stuu lht
tons bought for almost nothing.
These injured specimens are dismem-
bered and their various parts put to-
gether again at the fancy Of the fakir
lie takes beetles body, and from a
collection of several parts of beetles
before him, spread out on n white pa
per, he deftly afflXes n head here. a
wing there and a leg or two where he
thinks they will look quaint He works
rapidly, using clear liquid glue, the
composition of which is a secret of
the trade and which joins the various
parts Immediately so that they cannot
easily be pulled apart and so closely
that even with maglifying glass ii
is difficult to see where the Joining ia
done. The coloring and imitation
markings are done with small brushes
and other implements designed espe-
eially for the purpose and are made
permanent by plunging the built up in
sect into bath Of some secret solu-
ton. When the work is completed
only an expert naturalist can detect
the fraud, and sometimes even an ex.
pert Is fooled at first and thinks he has
stumbled upon a new specimen OF
eoleoptera.-Chicago Chronicle.

1S2e6 ,an increase of 22.3 per cent, will be a surprise. It would be interesting to know, what the figures do not dis close, how much of this very large in- crease Is due to the fake" publications. which Uncle Sam has been carrying In the mails at so large an expense, but which the Postoffce Department is to cut from its list. In contrast to this general increase Is the decrease in class or technical publications. Religious papers have decreased II per cent. medical and surgical 9S per cent, and scientific and mechanical 20 per cent, and social and art 42 per cent. There is instruction in this contrast. It is an evidence that the daily newspaper treats more ana more of varied fields of knowledge and life and that the special journals have found their usefulness gone. Typesetting by machinery, the use of illustrations, improvements in rapid presswork and the enlistment of many writers trained in special lines of newspaper comment have both broadened and intensified the information conveyed by the daily news paper The decrease in the last decade of the number of periodicals classified as devoted to society and art is most noteworthy.
 The four most populous States, New York Pennsylvania, Illinois and Ohio, naturally outrank the others in news paper circulation. As to cities, the fig ures are in some cases misleading. Cam bridge, Mass, for example, stands very low. One might infer that the home of Harvard University never reads the cur rent news were it not for the explana- ton that Cambridge gets it's journalistic pebuum from Boston. to which city the circulation is credit ed. A smilar eXplana tion is due to Allegheny, Pa, which is an independent municipality adjacent to Pittsburg, and also to Brooklyn now within Greater New York. but treated as a separate city in the last census.
 Most interestin gis the ratio of daily circulation of newspapers to population in cities. Oddly enough Cincinnati leads the country in this ratio, its number of inhabitants per copy being only 0.6}, while Kansas City comes next with one paper for eyer 0.72 of an inhabtant. The exclamation of this statistical phenom- enon is not clear. New York is eighth in the list it's ratio bemug one copy to every 1.26 person. Philadelphia is tenth and Chicago seventeenth, This is to be plained in part by foreign population. But. on the other hand, there Is to he considered the fact that newspapers pub lislei in large cities have large circull- tions within a radius outside their limits. all of which is credited to the cities themselves.

At the National Baptist Convention,
 colored, today Dr. E. c. Morris. in If we want to be something in this country we must do something, because talk will not solve great problems. . Many prayers were offered and the choir of 100 voices rendered excellent music. Rev. L. c. Jordan D. D.. of Louisville. secretary of the Foreign Mission Board. made his annual report to the conven- ton. He took up the work in Africa especially. telling of its needs and the results already accomplished. We are to save Africa" he said, and while we were brought to this country and served 1t for over 24o years as slaves. yet 1 believe that God had this special work in view for us when he suffered us to be brought to this country I do not mean now to advocate the negro's going to Africa, for that would never dc. God has prepared men and women to go and do the work and it is for you to send them and support them while they are at work.
 'The American negro is in better con- dition than the negro in any other parts of the world, and my heart was made to bleed during my recent trip through South America. We should use our op- porturites for God. This country Is a paradise. in fact it is Garden of
 Eden when We see what negroes must suffer in some of the islands,

Birmingham, Sept. 1S-(Special. )-The Jefferson County Republican Convention met here today for the purpose of nominating. candidates for the Legisla- ture. County Auditor and Road Super visor. The negro was consp,cuous by his absence again. J. H. Montgomery called the meeting to order and a com mittee on nominations was named A legislative ticket was named.
 IT H. Aldrich made a breezy talk be- fore the convention saying the cam raign of misreprestentation" on the part of some of the Democratic press had already begun and he warned Repubh- cans to look out for this kind of a thing. He said that a local paper had incor- porated in its report of the State Re publican convention a resolution relat- ing to the new constitution which was never adopted and did not even get second, and that 1t was so incorporated in tho report as to lead the reader to believe that it was adopted by the con- vention. He declared that the purpose was to put the Republican party in the attitude of accepting the new constitu- tuition, when. as a matter of fact. 1t did not accept its provisions and objected very strongly to some of them. He then spoke particularly of that portion of the constitution which relates to representa- tloi' anu uetidieu thot itS Sh.St ""S ." disfranchIse thousands of white men In illustration of this point he declared that it required five white men in Jeffer- son County to equal one white man in some of the black belt counties. The Republican party. he said. did not agree te any such arrangement
