OLIVE PEST IN ITALY.
Fly Which Stings Fruit Does $25, ,OOO-
600 Damage Year.

Southern Italy, and especially Apu-
liza, owes its income, beside from wine.

tl,SOOOO0 worth, and that Of Foggia
100000 worth. All this, which repre-
sents a considerable fortune for those
districts which are among the poorest
of the peninsula, has been spoiled in
these later years by an insect called
the olive fly, which stings the young
fruit, and has produced only in one
year f5,OOO,OOO damage.

house fly, rather attractive in appear

green eyes, surmounted by two black
spots, and irridescent wings, which.
however, 1t does not use as 1t hons
instead Of flies. The female alone does
all the harm, as she is provided with
special sting, with which she Der
forates the olives, introducing into
each an egg, and being able to produce
from 300 to 400 one after the other.
Thirty days are required for the incu-
baton Of the egg, and it is estimated
that in one season each female is re-
sponsible for about 160,OOO,OOO flies.
1t seems that the first time that this
scourge was recorded was in 1777. IN
the province of Genoa, and since then
many systems have been studied TO
fight 1t, but with little success, mas

Paraguay would seem to present the
smallest chance for woman's rights
progress to be found on the earth. In
that country there are seven women to
one man. Consequently the men are
petted and taken the greatest care of.
Everything that is unpleasant or risky
Is done by the women. The streets
are cleaned, ships loaded and the oxen
driven by them and they even go to
war as substitutes for the men. 1t is
only an application Of the law of sup
ply and demand and some lazy men
will probably think it beneficent one.

Splicing Twine.

1t has been said that Henry CLAW
achieved success SO easily that he
quite misunderstood others and over
estimated himself. But he was eager
to learn the best way to do whatever
he had to do. In "The True Henry
Clay" the author gives an instance of
this:
At fourteen Henry became clerk I'm
a store in Richmond, whittier the fam.
lily had removed. Stories are told of
his willingness to do his duty, al
though the work was distasteful to
him.
Once he was reproved by the store
keeper for wasting too much twine.
Thereafter he saved every scrap he
could get and tied the pieces together.
Again 1t was explained thut using this
sort of twine might be offensive to Gus
toners, as it made the packages look
untidy by reason of so many knots.
So he consulted with a sailor at Rich
mond, who showed him how to splice
strings with smooth joint.
From that time he spent his leisure
hours making short pieces of twine of
the same size into continuous cord.
When his employer discovered this he
was so much pleased that he had all
twine saved, and turned the task OF
splicing it over to young Henry, with
the result that the young mans enthu.
siasm rapidly abated.

The stomach proper has ceased to
be serious problem to the surgeon.
He can invade and explore it with i'm
punity. He can even, if circumstances
demand, relieve the owner of it en-
drely, and so arrange the loose ends
that the functions Of nutrition are sue
cessfully maintained. To be sure, the
patient can never thereafter derive
much pleasure from his meals; he must
restrict himself to rigid diet, but for
all the other affairs Of life he may be
as competent as before. There are to.
day several stomachless men who are
earning their daily predigested ration
IN occupations varying from clerk to
eXpressman.

tunnel across the English Channel
seems a smaller undertaking than it
would have been twenty years ago,
and a hundred years hence projects
for sending trains beneath the oceans
may not be laughed to scorn. Although
it is now impossible to do away with
the discomfort and danger attending
sea voyages in winter, money and
annoyance may be saved by methodi-
cal burrowing on land. In large cities
tunnels might extend from the railroad
stations to the manufacturing AMI
wholesale districts, and shipments
might pass between shops and cars
without getting in the way Of persons
who have no interest In them. To fill
busy streets with drays and crowded
sidewalks with packing-boxes, as at
present, is to make senseless misuse
of common conveniences. Chicago al
ready has freighting subway that
will relieve much of the street conges-
ton. AS to building local subways for
passenger transportation, New Yok
and other cities that have passed the

that subways will yet be carried far
beyond the limits of one city, and the

cold and tempestuous region will be
safe in announcing itself as "the popu-
