Insects from South America Have Be.
come a Nuisance In jamaica.

An interesting experiment in natur-
alizGtion Is now under trial In the
country districts of Jamaica, where
the plant-ticks first introduced about
30 years ago with cattle from South
America have multiplied till they have
become an almost intolerable pest.
A number of ordinary English star.
lings have been introduced into the
island, in the hope that they may so
far retain their native tastes as to
take kindly to the task of destroying
these omnipresent and repulsiye crea'
lures, which in comparatively few
years have made the forests and pas.
lures of the island almost impossible.
1t will be curious to see how the
starlings fall in with their introducers'
expectations, and how far they sue,
coed in making an impression on the
nuisance they are Intended to combat.

any certainty how any foreign species,

OPIUM IN DIVERSE FORMS.
Devotees Of the Drug Choose Various
Ways of Obtaining Its Effects.

Consumers of opium are not all OF
the same kind. There are slaves of
the pipe, slaves of the syringe and
slaves of the powder that is swallowed
to give surcease Of pain or OF mental
worry. There are those who take the
drug in the form of medicinal prep

and the extract OF laudanum; those
who smoke It and inhale the fumes
into the lungs and those who take
hypoderm!c injections of morphia. The

in mat city are addicted to the opium

OF opium in Vermont Is equivalent,

the drug take il regularly every day;
others have periodical sprees similar

in Europe two Servian stamps, with
the seal of the government May 90,

and queen. These stamps were only
in use five or six hours and are very
rare, as only 100 or so were in exist

stamps were made, these were used
but with the seal OF the state across

ALIEN TAX MAKES TROUBLE.
The Two Dollar Head Tax ON Aliens
Causing Trouble for the San
Franc1scO Bureau

San Francisco, April 1.-THE new
immigration law, imposing a head tax
of 81 ON all aliens coming into this
country, is causing trouble for the
local immigration bureau. The Ocean
ic Steamship Co. refuses point blank
to pay the tax, and Commissioner of
immigration North thereupon made a
ruling that no alien passengers should
be landed from a ship in this port
until the tax has been first paid by
the steamship company bringing such
aliens. The steamship companies
claim that the law is in conflict with
the regulation of the immigration bu-
reau requiring the payment of a de-
posit ON aliens, which they say is vir-
tually paying the tax. A test case
will probably be made.

unlikely that the Housesmiths and
Bridge Workers union, which is at
tempting to tie up the work on the
Connecticut at the Brooklyn navy
yard because the company refused to
employ union men, will be indicted
for conspiracy against the govern

union to cease it's interference with

Mr.. Howells pointed out that if evi-

persons were deliberately committing
acts which would directly or indirect
1y hinder, delay or otherwise inter
fere with work carried on for or by
the government, such persons could
be arrested for conspiracy against

was ready to make arrests whenever
