Eating worms.

All nations save the worshIpers of
Buddha eat the flesh of animals. Even
the lowest and most disgusting to eye
and palate find home where they are
welcomed. Worms and insects must
furnish food and grace the tables not
only of the poor, but of the rich. Think
OF the gourmet who praises the luscious
woodsnlpe, aud still more the blnclS
mass from the inside that he carefully
places on his toast and eats with a
feeling akin to veneratlonl lie is eat
ing the worms that live in the snipe's
intestines. OF equal value Is the IA
nous palm worm Of the West Indies.
which forms one of the best dishes OF
luxurious dinners. Its near relation,
the grugru worm Of Java, is said to be
richer still and more delicate. Nor do
costly silkworms escape the fate OF all
that is eatable. Freed from their co.
coons and daintily dressed they are
highly pri2ad and largely swallowed
by the people of Madagascar.

RUSSIA'S REPLY
CoUCHED IN FRIENDLY TERMS
BUT DOES NOT RECEDE

Russian reply to Great Britain's
representations on the subject Of che
sinking of the British steamer knight
Commander by the Vlsdivostok
squadron, while couched IN the
friendliest terms, does not recede from
the Russian position, as set forth in
che prize regulations, in regard to the
exercise of the right to destroy neutral
vessels carrying contrsband in case OF
emergency, reserving the question for
discussion after the war. Al the
same time Russia assumes Great
Britain that the extreme recourse TO
sinking neutral vessels, as announced
August 6. will not be resorted to IN.
less circumstances render ii impos-
sible to take them to prize court
Great Britain's proposal that the
British steamer Allanton, captured
June i6, be liberated upon the deposit
Of security, has not been accepted,
Russia replying that the documents
in this case we're already on their way
to st. Petersburg, and will have
to be admitted to the admiralty court
before further action is taken.
Russia has formally notified the
United States Of the decision Of the
prize court in the case Of the Portland
and Asiatic Line steamer Arabia, cap
tured by the Gromboi, but the state.
ment from Vlsdivostok on the subject
leaves some doubt as to whether ell
the rails, consigned to japanese ports
we're declared contrsband, or only the
-four and clothing. The Russian gov.
eminent manifests a friendly disposi-
tion in sugge sting Its readiness to en-
terrain an appeal.
The correspondent Of the Associated
Press has learned that nothing was
confiscated in the cargo of the Arabia
which was not designated as CONTRA
band in the Russian declaration.
The Russian reply in the case of the
Knight Commander points out that
the prize regulations under which
Russia was acting were promulgated
nine years ago and that Great Britain
did not enter a protest until after the
