Insects Gigantic Meal.

No very recent estimates Of the loss
arising from the ravages Of insects have
been made save general statement Of
the boil weevil's work, but some of'the
older estimates are here given. Twenty
five years ago B. D. Walsh. the ento-
mologist OF Illinois, estimated the loss
from this source at from $500, 000, 900 to
$500, 100000 per annum. Fitch, the en-
tomologist from New York, estimated
the damage to the wheat crop in this
state in the year 1854 by the wheat
nudge at SIC, 100000. The loss to wheat
and corn on account of the cinchbug In
the state of Illinois alone In 1867 was e.
timated at 81, 900. 000.. The loss occa-
stoned in 1874 to corn, vegetables and
other crops by the Rocky mountain To-
Gust in the states Of Kansas, Nebraska
and Missouri was estimated by Riley
from carefully collected data at $780,
100000. The ravages In the principal
cotton states of the cotton worm have
amounted to a loss Of about $50, 000. 900
in years of abundance.

Several Jap Ships Sunk. r.:
During the blockade we suffered from
the enemy's mines, both laid and floating
on the high seas, and from dense fogs.
The cruisers Miyako, Saiyen and Yo-
shine; Hatsuse, battleship; Kaimon,
gunboat, and Heiyen, coast defense ves-
sci, were sunk, and many gallant and
loyal officers and men were killed, but
we succeeded in maintaining the block
ade. When the enemy emerged from
the harbor our fleet successfully engaged
him and finally, with the valuable sup
port of the besieging army, succeeded in
crushing nearly an the enemy's squad
ron. Our second squadron, SO heavily
damaged the Vladivostok squadron that
it has since been unable to leave port.
All this success is gratefully attributed
to the brilliant virtue Of our emperor.
During the blockade all the ships un-
der my command splendidly accom-
plished the work and duty assigned to
them. Especially to be noted are some
of those who engaged in the difficult and
risky task of blockading or who tire
lessly accomplished the work of laying
mines in the presence of the enemy;
others who, Drawing all dangers, were
engaged in the work of clearing mines
away, and Others still who were posted
to watch the enemy and guard against
the enemy's ships. Their. combined
work strongly contributed. to the: ac-
complishment of the blockade I:deem

Later returns received by the secre.
tary of state indicate that the so-called
grand jury amendment to the state
constitution passed at the last election,
and legislators expect spirited con-
troversy at the next session over a bill
abolishing the grand jury system and
substituting plan OF Indictment on
presentation by the county attorney.
The proposal to amend the constitu-
ton in this respect was introduced in
the senate by George r. Laybourn of
Duluth and was passed after a hard
contest. The amendment changes the
constitutional provision that no one
shall be charged with crime Except
on Indictment by the grand jury" to
read that no one shall be charged with
q crime 'except by due process of law. "
This allows the legislature to prescribe
any plan of Indictment it desires. The
legislature may abolish the grand jury
system entirely, or it may provide that
in ordinary cases indictments shall be
made on information by the county at
torney and authorize the judge Of the
district court to call a jury to consider
extraordinary.

Boiling Point Of Water.

Water boils at different Temperatures,
according to the elevation above sea
level. In London water boils practi-
cally at 212 degrees Fahrenheit; in
Munich, Germany, at 2091a degrees; in
the City of Mexico at 200 degrees, and
in the Himalayas, at an elevation of
$4,000 feet above the level Of the sea, at
$50 degrees. These differences are
caused by the varying pressure Of the at
mosphere at these points. In London
the whole weight of the air has to be
overcome. In Mexico, 1000 feet above
the sea, there is 1000 feet less Of at
mosphere to be resisted: consequently
less heat is required, ard boiling takes
place at a lower temperature.

EASILY HANDLED.
Knabenshue Makes Successful Ascent
at Los Angeles in Baldwin's
Airship.

Los Angeles, CAL, Dec. 26.-Capt.
Baldwin's airship California Arrow"
driven by Roy Knabenshue, who made
several successful flights in the same
machine from the worlds fair grounds
at St. Louis, was given its first trial in
California Sunday, and was successful
with the single exception of it's failure
to land at the starting point. A land
ing was affected half a mile away with
out damage to the machine, and it was
safely towed back to it's anchorage. The
Arrow started from Chutes Park base
ball grounds, in the southeastern part
Of the city at 3:17 p. m, sailed with the
wind northeastward for a distance of
between eight and ten miles, thence
eastward for two miles and returned
in the face Of a 12-mile gale to point
directly above the starting place, but,
owing to the supply of gasoline running
short, was unable to affect landing at
exactly the desired spot. From the
time the airship arose from the baseball
grounds until it was safely anchored at
Pico and Stanford streets it was in flight
an hour and 13 minutes, and in that time
sailed distance of probably 20 miles.
When flying with the wind, the Arrow
travelled at a speed Of 20 miles an hour,
and in returning directly in the face of
the strong southeastern gale was able to
make a rate of speed reckoned at between
six and eight miles an hour. The air
ship was Unanswered by Knabenshue III
every direction, responding readily to its
rudder, circling and turning in any d.
rection, sailing directly in the face of
the wind or at any angle, and rising and
dipping as the operator directed. The
Arrom rose at times to height of prob
ably 5000 feet or more, with Knaben-
shue regulating the height by shifting
his weight and raising or lowering the
bow of the craft as he desired to ascend
or descend.

stone. The stove is suspended against
the stone whose pores are to be filed
It almost touches the stone, and is held
there for two or three minutes. That
Is sufficient time to heat the stone to
a depth of perhaps quarter of an inch.
Then melted parable wax Is painted on
the heated surface with a brush. 1t

which the stone has been heated, fill
ing all the interstices between the crys-
tails of the rock. Great care has to be
taken not to heat the stone unnecessar-
lly. az only a small portion can be heat
ed At one time. Uneven expansion Of
the stone might cause" 1t to crack. A
square yard can be treated in quarter
of an hour. The work now being done
on the tomb will cost $3.50.
There are about 5000 tons of granite
IN the tomb. This was carefully ex-
auined by professors of mining schools,
members Of the United States engineer
inc corps and chemists before 1t was &C.
cepted, and all the tests were passed.
No stones were set in the winter, ow-
Ing to the danger of settling. Each stone.
after being laid, was allowed to lie some
time before another was laid upon 1t,
in order to make certain that It would
not shift it's position in the slightest de-
gree. The tomb is 80 feet square and
$50 feet high. A considerable amount
Of marble was used in the interior. Sew
eral slabs of this now show stains which
look like rusted iron. 1t is said that
these disappear and reappear again at
different seasons of the year, and that
they are due to moisture in the walls.
Up to the present time none Of the meth
DDS tried have been effective in elimin-
ating them. The stones may have to be
replaced. Until this year no effort has
been made to heat the tomb in the win
ter. This year, with the idea that It
may have a beneficial effect upon the
stone, several radiators have been put
In. Heretofore in the spring moisture
has appeared ON the walls so thick that
It was possible to wipe it OF with the
hand.
