The following letter containing the views of Secretary Wilson of the Agricultural Department. on the boll weevil was re- ferred to MT. Joel Barnett of MontRom- cry by Senator Morgan: .f
 Department of Agriculture,
 ''Office of the Secretary.
 Washington, Nov. z7, 1903. Hon. John T. Morgan, United States
 Senate: Dear Senator Mofgan-1 have your fa- vor of November N. with enclosure from MT. Joel Barnett of Montgomery, Ala, regarding pure cotton seed, and have read with interest your remarks on pre- venting the spread of the cotton boil weevil
 T went to Texas recently and spent ten days there, visiting the fields every day and talking with the people. and got a pretty clear knowledge of the boil weeyii. It is little creature about the size of house fly. They mostly die through the winter, but those that win- ter over begin propagating in the spring and become quite numerous before the late cotton can get out of the way-so numerous. indeed. that have seen fields where not boil escaped. The insects method of operating is, to get on the boil when 1t is about the size of small acorn and pretty much the same shape as an acorn. and with its snout 1t bores hole into the tender embryo boil. Then reversing itself, 1t lays a negg in this hole and seals 1t away. In warm weather this egg developes and Is a full-hedged weevii. ready to go through the same process its progenitor went through.
 'The early-maturing cotton gets out of the way before there are enough weevils to do any harm t. We are getting early-maturing cotton seed for the people of the South wherever We can find 1t. scraped the department barrel wherever I could find money al- ready appropriated that might be spared. and with that money have bought three hundred tons of early-maturing cotton seed.
 We have also taken options on a thousand tons more, in the hope that Con- gress will appropriate the money to buy 1t with. which I have no doubt Congress will do. Seed grown in the northern lirn- It's of the cotton aeea natures earlier than that further south. so that seed se- cured from the Indian Territory. Okla homa, and the northern parts of North Cal ollna, etc.. gets ready and ripens out of the way of the weevil. After the boil is 50 far along the weevil can not injure 1t. Infection does not come from the pollen or in any other way than by the weevil stinging the embryo boil and de- posting its egg.
 Always glad to hear from you, and hoping you are enjoying good health, remain. Very respectfully.

 The war of the future bids fair to be as terrifying from the uncannay mann0r in which the slaughter will be condAc as by reason of the slaughter itself. Men long distances apart, scarcely visible to one another, pump leaden death into op- posing ranks, while not a sign of smoke tells whence the bullets come. This Is weird enough and shaking to the nerves. but now comes a German Inventor named Berguel, who claims the invention of all the Gatllngs and Maxims. It is a gun powder which explodes without making the slightest noise and is yet possessed of the explosive force of the best modern high-power powder Think of the weird ness, the uncanniness of the battlefield of the future! No smoke, no sound: only a silent and unseen death flying back and forth between two armies and men falling as mysteriously as fell the warriors of Sennacherib.

magazine we must agree that the artist has either been careless or else has em- ployed a left-handed model to pose for him, and the latter solution is scarcely probable. A fisherman landing a trout on a light rod never a finger on the reel is quite a common mistake among magazine illustrations, and in the matter of cos- tunes of various periods the illustrators are woefully lacking in information.
 ''To illustrate how apt we are to make mistakes" containued the cartoonist. several years ago drew a figure repre- sentink Cuba, emaciated, starving. a thing of skin and bones. The figure was half naked. and I tried to bring out all the horrible detail-the shrunken limbs, the gaunt face, the ribs protruding through the skin, and, above all the hol- low cavity where the stomach should have been. A friend of mine, doctor. took me to task about it. Persons who are starving to death he said. may be abnormally emaciater in every other part of the body except the stomach. The ab- domen fin the advanced stages is expanded with gases until 1t puffs up like q balloon. giving the victim a grotesQue appearance To suhstantiate this statement he showed me some photographs taken in India dur ing a famine. and was forced to admit that he was right"

A Gladstone Fable.

1OnuOn ftcVleW.
 Gladstone fables are rather numerousl A good many of them are demolished in MT Morley's Life. The world used td hear that he never lost his power of sleeping after the most exciting nights in Parliament. But in his diary of 1854 he writes; Nervous excitement kept me wakeful after speaking, the first time for many years" Twenty years later he. had several spells of sleeplessness. He characteristically explains that it wae not the lack of sleep that troubled him
 put the consequent state of his brairA next morning. At other times he waI anicted with neuralgia attacks. His eyes (magnihcent to look at) were never very strong. The Life, however, supplied abundant proof of his possession of a vital force not to be measured by any physical standard He could conuuel weakness by indomitable will and inI dulge in feats of endurance which would nave been dangerous but for his splenf did powers of recuperation. When EreatE ly troubled he seems to have found th4 relief he required in talking 1t all oveE with Catherine" his devoted wife.
