or MOUNT ETNA
Circumference of the Highest Of ALL
Volcanoes at Its Base Is
Ninety Miles.

Just come out. Yes, it is viSible!"
So it was. But how different from the
Mount Etna of III imagination! Its
very vastness dwarfed it. We had not
realized that the highest volcano in
Europe was 80 miles in circumference
at it's base, says a Sicilian letter in the
Christian Register. The slope is so
gradual from base to summit that the
first impression is totally different
from that of an abrupt mountain ris-
ing 1000 feet above the plain and sea
and produces something like a disap-
pointment. Then, too, this morning
there is no smoke. The snow scarcely
comes down more than 1900 feet; the
long slopes below are clothed with for
ests. But the summit is clear and gilt
tering in the sunlight. This for a few
minutes only. Then the clouds wrap
themselves round the head of u dis
appointment. W. hope the monarch
will uncover and show himself longer
another day.
Taormina is rapidly becoming the
popular tourist resort of Sicily. Not
only is it one of the best, but it is
the safest point whence to study the
| effect of light and shade on the mighty
slopes Of Etna and the long and jagged
coast line of the e~ver-foaming sea.
Places down below are malarial. This
place is high in air, above all risk OF
malarial fever. 1t is also extremely
picturesque-some one called it mad
ly picturesque" 1t lies on a shelf OF
limestone rock, one long street With
rib-like lanes ascending and descend
ing on either side. Above and behind
this one long street three tall. jagged
peaks fling themselves wildly upward
against the sky, like mountains alto
gether gone mad and raving." II one
wishes to realize what may be meant
by mountain insanity let him come
to Taormina.
Two weeks at Taormina and Etna
would not be gracious! Sometimes,
for an hour in the early morning, his
head remained uncovered. Then we
had to be content with a tremendous
mass of cloud, dark and far from i'm
pressive. He was a cold neighbor,
sending a chill air or a tempest or a
rain almost every day. One day, to
the delight of the Taorminians, he GOV.
cred all the ground with snow. After
a night of storm, on the morning of oul
last Sicilian day, he stood forth in al
the glory of hts majestic greatness
No single mountain we had ever seer
had presented outline 81 simple, 81
grand. From the most distant up
slope of his base to the dazzling white
ness Of his summit not a suggestion o
cloud; all the eyes that had waited S,
long were uplifted, fixed upon him
Taormina was not. Etna was every.
thing. How stupendous a presence
! What individuality! Not one of
range, but standing there alone; no
! beautiful, but more than that-sub
2 lime; strong and mighty, his heal
clearly outlined against the brillian
sky! Nor is this the mood of an hour
All the day he stood forth shadowless
It was enough, all that we could hav
asked or waited for.

Rev. Irvine Issues a Public Letter.
Ready for Investigation.

Rev. Ingram n. w. Irvine yesterday
gave for publication at Philadelphia a
copy of a communication he has addressed
to the board of inquiry which meets today
in Reading Pa, in the matter of the
charges against Bishop Talbot. In this he
expresses the willingness Of himself and
friends to appear before that body and
give testimony in support of the char ;.
He also signifies his readiness to have the
sessions Of the board open. He critlcises
certain members of the board, whom he
charges with having already shown evil
dence of being prejudiced against him.
That the whole board of inquiry, which
is to meet in Reading today, is not canon
ically constituted is the opinion of some of
the best church canonists in the country.
In view of this fact it is believed by we'll
informed churchmen that the board will do
nothing officially, although it may take
some unofficial action.
The ground on which it Is claimed the
board is invalidly constituted is the fact
that the Rev. DR.. Morgan Dix was chosen
as one Of it's members The canon under
which the board was formed requires that
the members shall be chosen by lot from
among the deputies to the last general
convention. While DR.. Dix was elected
by the diocese of New York to serve as
one of its clerical deputies at the last gem
eral convention, which met in Boston, he
did not serve, was not present and never
participated in any way as deputy.

Ru1kelex Elected Senator.

Ex-Gov. Morgan g. Buckley of Hartford.
Conn, was named by the republican caucus
OF the general assembly at Hartford yester-
day afternoon for the United States Senate,
to succeed Senator Joseph r. Hawley on
March 4 next. The vote in caucus was by
roll call, which the sBuIkeley men succeeded
in adopting, in spiteaofethe strong opposi-
ton of the supporters of Samuel Fessenden
of Stamford, the leading candidate against
Mr.. Buckley. One ballot Settled the matter.
Governor Buckley iss president of the
Aetna Life Insurance Company, and was
elected governor of fhe state in November,
1888, taking his seat IN. January 1889. Two
years later the election of state officers was
in dispute, and as the senate was demo-
cratic, while the I house was republican,
there was deadlock and Governor Bulke-
ley remained in office two years longer.
1t was in the early part of his holdover
term that he used crowbar to force open
the door of the executive chamber. which
had been locked against him. and thus got
the title of the "crowbar governor" Pre-
vious to his election as governor he was for
eight years mayor of the city of Hartford.

longing to the bee family. which has the
habit of laying it's eggs in young figs and
fertilizing them 50 that they grow in
size, favor and richness. The best figs
of commerce, which come from Syria and
other Asiatic countries, could not be pro-
duced but for this insect. They have it
also in Italy, Algeria and other countries
where figs are produced in large uuanti-
ties. Until we introduced it into Califor-
mia the fig trees in that state were bar
rem. The young figs fell before they were
ripened. Under the instructions of DR.
Howard, the chief entomologist, w. T.
Swindle. an agent of the department., who
happened to be in Italy, collected some
of the insects and sent them over to us
in Washington They were released in a
fig orchard in California, owned by Mr..
Roeding, near Fresno, in the San Joaquin
valley The immediate result was a crop
OF fine figs, even superior to those shipped
from Smyrna. and as soon as the public
understood what had happened hundreds

domestic bees with wild bees from the Phil

cipalfy in the trees. They build enormous
cones attached to the limbs and fill them
with honey, and we hope to get a better
strain by crossing.

The Guatemalan Ant.

Just now said Mr. Marlatt, the kelep,
or Guatemala ant, is attracting great
deal OF attention because it can overcome
the boil weevil q worm which eats into
the flower of the cotton plant and kills it,.
This weevil caused loss of S40,00O,000 in
Texas in 1908, and as much more in 1904,
and has done similar damage in other
cotton states. Mr.. o. +. Cook, botanist
of the Agricultural Department, who was
studying cotton growing in Guatemala,
discovered in certain localities that the
boil weevil did not appear, and he began
to hunt for the reason. He noticed a
large ant, half an inch long, living in
small colonies in the ground and, after
studying it's habits, discovered that 1t was
the natural enemy of the weevil and
hunted for II in every cotton field. When
il finds a weevil it stipgs 1t, benumbs it
and carries ii off for food. Cook dug up
ninety ant hills. put them in fruit jars
and shipped them over to Texas, where
they Were released into certain cotton
fields last summer. They did good work,
but there is some doubt about the ability
of the ants to endure our cold winters.
