WAX FROM WORMS.
Product Equal to That of Our Native
Bees.

From Public Opinion.
On the banks of the river Aiming in China
there grows a tree-known as the Ligus-
trum Lucidum-which in the spring becomes
covered with little excrescences about the
size of a pea. If We cut one of the bulbs we
shall find inside what at first appears to be
farina, but if we examine the contents
carefully we shall discover myriads of eggs
which represent the product of an insect
known as the white waXworm.
The latter part of April the Chinese
gather these bulbs and put them into little
bags-each containing about one-half pound
in weight-after which they are carried to
the town of Chatting, where there Is a reg
ular market for this queer product. AT
Chatting the bag re emptied and the con-
tents redistribu in little sacks made of
leaves. about twenty of these bulbs being
placed in each bag, and after the leaves
have been pierced with holes they are sus-
pended from the branches of tree, which
botanically named is the FraXinus chinen-
sis, OF these trees we find large planta-
tons around the town of Chatting, this tree
being the feeder of the worms as the Ligus-
trum was the producer.
1t generally requires about fifteen days for
the larvae to complete their transformation,
after withdrawing become full-grown in
sects-they abandon their artificial homes
and install themselves upon the trees re-
served for them The females at once be-
gin to lay eggs, and in order to protect
them these tiny mothers place them under
the bark itself. The males complete this
work of preservation by Secreting a greasy
matter which in time completely covers
the trunk and branches of the tree with a
brilliant moisture-proof varnish. This var
nish, however, is the product sought by the
Chinese and is the pureSt of white wax.
The wax is now gathered, and in order to
do this the inhabitants of the country care
fully Scrape the trunk of the tree and cut
off the branches and throw them into boil
ing water The wax is thus melted. and
after the water has been cooled it is re-
found in thick deposit on the bottom of
the vessel in which it has been boiled. The
wax is sold for about 60 cents a pound and
is equal in quality to the best product of
our native bees

Address on District Suffrage.


DR.. Robert Reyburn was then introduced
by the president and he delivered an ad-
dress on the subject of local suffrage He
declared that the main trouble with the
District government is that the people have
mo way of finding out the rascality that
exists"
This city is now bankrupt to the amount
of 100000" said he. land it Is the most
expensive government under the sun not eX-
cepting greater New York, which is always
pointed to as being full of corruption In
other cities they can deal with raScals as
they deserve to be dealt with, but here you
can't turn the rascals out"
He touched on the union station act as
IAN outrageous piece of legislation and de-
clared that our only salvation lies in our
right to vote"
The greatest republic of modern times
said he, presents the striking anomaly of
its capital being governed by an autocracy
composed of three Commissioners, invested
with absolute powers And 1t is no more
than natural that these men should use
their authority more and more tyranni-
cally."
Concluding DIR. Reyburn said: I'VE suffer
from an inequality of taxation All cities
suffer in this way to some extent, but here
we are burdened with systematic Unequal
ity that falls most heavily upon the small
property holder"
The election of officers for the ensuing
term resulted as follows; For president

At the regular monthly meeting of the
East End Suburban Citizens Association,
held last evening in Northeast Temple, the
association went OH record in reference to
the union station act, declaring itself as not
being opposed to the railroads. as such, but
favored carrying the suit filed by one Of its
members, Mr.. Joseph Willard, to the Su-
preme Court of the United States for the
purpose of testing the constitutionality Of
the act in so far as 1t requires the payment
of large bonus to the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company out of the revenues of
the District of Columbia, for the following
reasons: First, the Supreme Court of the
United States Is the only court competent
to determine the constitutionality of the
act; second, If the act which compeIs the
people of the District of Columbia to pay
large bonus to the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company is constitutional, and
therefore legal, the sooner 1t is determined,
the better; third, If the act in the respect
mentioned is unconstitutional and therefore
Illegal the sooner that fact is ascertained,
the better. In the latter event, the associa-
ton declares, If the act is finally declared
to be unconstitutional the railroad people
should neither ask for nor expect to receive
the vast sum stipulated in the bill

Wounds of the Heart.

In wounds of the heart itself the es

due to the fact that the escape of blood

mechanically interrupts the alternate

its pumping action is maintained. Ac'

lie Roy Out on Bond.

E. IL. LIE Roy, the young man
who was arrested five months
ago, charged with stealing horses
and has since been in jail here,
was released on bond yesterday
afternoon. His uncle came to
his rescue and sent money to
square up his debts and to in
demnify his bond.
The bond was reduced from
$500 to 5000. E. A. Coohoon,
cashier of the First National
bank, signed the bond.
LIE Roy IS a handsome young
man and physically is a fine spe-
cimen of manhood. He has an
excellent face, that is but any
thing suggestive of a criminal,
and his manners are those of a
Chesterfield.
Ii he had been kept in Jail and
convicted the shortest term he
could have received in Santa Fe
would have been one year and
this would only serve to harden
him and wreck his life. AS it is
now, there will possibly be no
prosecution and he can leave
for parts unknown, start life
afresh and make a man of him.

He is just p years of age and
still claims that he did not in

kinder to let it go at that.

his right side while being received in
audience by King Victor Emanuel. He
was removed to his home in a serious
condition. The ministers were hold
ing their usual semi-weekly confer
ence with the king at the Quirinal
when Signor Prinetti. who was ad-
dressing his majesty, suddenly threw
up his arms, staggered and would have
fallen but for the fact that he was
caught by his colleagues. The incident
caused great excitement. The king
rang for assistance, and Minister of
Commerce Bacelli. who is physician,
was able to do what was Immediately
necessary. The king, who is specially
attached to Minister Prinetti. is much
affected. His majesty decided that the
minister should be put to bed in the
Quirinal, but DR.. Bacelli decided that
1t would be necessary to convey him to
his own home, which was done.
One of the ministers went ahead to
break the news to Signorita Prinetti.
