Clever Appeal to Nature.

Some years ago in large and rich
ly stocked nursery in Belgium, chater
beetles became so numerous as TO be
very serious pest. After trying by all
known means TO eradicate them the
proprietor observed that starlings de-
voured large numbers, both of the
larvae and the mature insects. Taking
a lesson from this he erected half a
dozen nesting boxes on 15-foot poles,
and as they were Immediately occu'
pied by the birds he continued to pro.
vide boxes until 125 were in use. The
result was that the chafer invasion
grew gradually less and was finally
completely overcome.-Stray Stories.

Scenes at SevastopoI.

The following statement regarding
the mutiny of the soldiers and sailors
at Sevastopol has been issued by the
admiralty department:
THE events at Cronstadt have found
echo in the Black sea fleet. Vice-Ad-
miral Chouknin reports that sailors.
under the influence of the socialistic
propaganda, have organized at Sevas-
topol a series of demonstrations.
The movement has spread 10 sew
eral organizations of the army. Vice
Admiral Pisarevsld was seriously
wounded while trying TO prevent a
meeting being held.
The situation is serious, though. &C
cording to report received Saturday
evening no attempts had been made to
pillage"
Headed by men carrying the flag or
The revolution and by a brass band,
the mutineers marched TO the railway
station and compelled the employees
there to cease work
The comparatively orderly conduct
OF the mutineers, as compared with
the ritous scenes enacted elsewhere,
where pillage seemed to be the chief
object of the disturbers, is accepted as
a certain sign that an intelligent polit-
ical force is back of the movement.
The authorities appear to be making
no effort to suppress the mutiny, and
the movement is spreading.
The revolt of the Brest regiment is
one of the most serious features of the
situation 1t is the first time IN infan.
try regiment as whole has mutinied,
and the question on the lips of every
one in the capital is how long it will be
before it is followed by others, perhaps
even the st. Petersburg garrison.
That the outbreak at Sevastopol is
no drunken frolic as was the case al
Cronstadt, but a seriously planned rev.
dictionary demonstration, was made
clear by the tone of the official state
ment issued by the admiralty. The
revolutionary ferment, in spite of the
efforts of the officers, is known to have
affected a portion of the enlisted
strength of many regiments, and the
Sevastopol mutiny may be the spark
that is necessary to set in fame a

The Sultan's Threat.

Turkeys note, replying unfavorably
10 the ultimatum of the powers on the
Macedonian situation, contains warn
ing that the action of the powers in
resorting to naval demonstration
may precipitate an internal uprising
of Mussulmans against the Christian
population of Turkey
This is considered a threat, as II
is known that no demonstration of
Mussulmans against Christians can
occur unless it has the silent acquies-
cence of the Turkish authorities.
The sultan regards the present de-
mands of the powers as direct in
fringement of his sovereignty-in ef-
feet, notice TO quit Europe. Thanks
chiefly to Armenian massacres and his
victory over the Greeks, he has gained
control over all Islam.
The wonderful renaissance Of pan
Islamism has for its object a holy
war against infidels, and the mass Of
its followers believe that this is at
hand. Abdul Hamid as the head Of
this immense force, cannot yield frac-
ton more of his sovereignty without
resistance and without summoning all
of his faith to his assistance.
This then is the appalling danger
which the powers will incur if they re-
sort to force in imposing their de.
mands. A holy war would bleed Great
Britain in India and Egypt and France

The police were not to blame because

file, and, being without organization
or cohesion, came to nothing. We have
thus simply been furnished in the Black
Sea and the Baltic with fresh proofs
OF the truth that revolu tons must begin
at the top. Revolts that begin at the
bottom are certain to prove abortive.
II we look back over the history OF Russia
during the last hundred and sixty years,
we find that every successful insurrec-
ton against reigning sovereign was
prosecuted if not conceived, by military
officers who were followed blindly by
the soldiers under their command.
The Indian mutiny Of 1857 and the
French Revolution may seem to snow
that the cooperation Of commissioned
officers is not indispensable to temporary
or even permanent success. AS matter
Of fact, although commissions in the
native regiments OF the Anglo-lndian
army, as this was organized by the East
India Company, were reserved Tor EURO
peans, the on-commissioned officers
were natives of exceptional ability and
experience, quite as we'll qualified Tor
command as some of their nominal
superiors. So too, in the Gardes Fran
caises and other crack regiments of the
French army many of the non-commis-
stoned officers BERNADoTTE and HoCHE,
for example-were much better pro-
fessional soldiers than were most OF
the holders OF commissions, who, I'M
der LOUIS XVI., were drawn much
more exclusively from the caste of
mobiles than had been the case in the
preceding reign. In the Russia OF
to-day, on the other hand, if excep-
tional military or naval aptitude and
ability are needed, they must be looked
for among the commissioned officers.
After all is said, however, the facts
that the two most powerful battleships
left to Russia should have mutinied,
and that the admiral at the head of the
Black Sea squadron should have deemed
| it wiser to dismantle the rest OF his vessels
than to risk battle with the mutineers,
must have given tremendous shock to
the st. Petersburg authorities shock
of which we are likely to hear reverbera-
tions for some time to come. Mean
while the fiasco at Odessa must have
taught the revolutionists what they
ought to have known beforehand-that
