MAKING IMPROVEMENTS
IN JERSEY MUSEUM.

TRENTON, Nov. lbs. r. Morse,
curator of the state museum, is maxi
ing a number of improvements in his
department at the state house. One
of the chief changes is the substitu-
ton of modern cases for the old ones
containing the mineral and other
specimens.
The new cases are solid oak and
plate glass and were made by the
New Jersey School and Church Furn-
iture Company, of this city. Though
occupying less space on the floors
than the old ones they have much
more displaying capacity. This will
permit of a needed increase in the
number of specimens on exhibition.
Each case has two horizontal COM
partments and between them a verti-
cal one containing shelves. The base
of each case is enclosed and arranged
for storage.
Curator Morse has added to the
museums collection of specimens of
the celebrated gypsy and brown tail
moths, which have done untold dam
age to crops, particularly in New
England. Originally these moths, UNI
known in this country, were import
ed for purposes of study by scientists
at Harvard university. They escaped
and have increased by the millions.
Many thousands of dollars have been
spent in an attempt to exterminate
them. Each collection at the state
house shows the moth in all stages of
its development.
Professor Morse is at work on his
annual report, which this year Will
be more complete than ever before.
He has engaged Miss C. M. Kulp, OF
this city, to assist In this work.

SAY THEY WERE
BLACKMAILED
Venezuelan Officials Accused by
Asphalt Company Wanted
100000.

NEW YORK. Nov. b. Allegations
that high officials in the Venezuelan
government have deliberately attempt
ed To cxtort money from the company
the sum of SIO0.000-arc made in a
statement given out by the BermudeZ
Asphalt company in reference to the
suit brought by the Venezuelan govern
mcnt for Sl1. 100000 damages for aid
ing in the MatOs rebellion.
The means used by these officials,
according to the allegation, included
blackmail, c~onfiscatlon of The com
pany's property, the manufacture of
false testimony and the making Of de
crees without regard to law. The al
legations made in the statement are
based upon letters which. it is declar-
ed, were received from \. II. Garner,
now receiver holding the c|ompany's
property for the Venezuelan govern
ment. but who in 1900 was the com
pany's agent ut Caracas, and the report
of Colonel Victor NJ. Backus. who was
sent to Venezuela in 1900 as IN indie
pendent agent by the asphalt COM
pany.
The statment concludes with an ex-
hauStive review of what it describes
rs 1.-THE asphalt company's actual rela-
tons to the revolution In this con
nection it is explained that 100000
was given to General Matos by the of
ficials of The National Asphalt com
pany on the generals request. Fur
Their sums, a~ggregating 100000. were
paid the revolutionary leader o aft
erWard.
Money WIS paid for the protection of
the company's property during the con,
tinuance of the revolution and for the
protection of its just rights thereafter
in case the revolution succeeded and
without any understanding or obliga-
ton with respect to its use. During
the entire continuance of the revolu-
ton the company and. so far as it is
advised, all its agents in Venezuela. as
they We're instructed to do, maintained
absolute neutrality.
The company was threatened with
certain destruction of its rights by
General Castro and those conspiring
with him for its spoilation. The officers
of the National Asphalt company
therefore decided to give to General
Matos the amount which he asked.

ry B. Plant In the early '9Os, but he
was by no means sure that the scheme
was feasible, so /, acting under his de
reetion, undertook an expedition
through the region. Despite its prox-
unity to centers Of population, it was
then for the first time thoroughly ex-
plored by white men. Ours was virtu-
ally a. voyage Of discovery. We pad
died our light boats on lakes and
camped on islands that, have good
reason to believe. had never before
been visited by any human beings but
Seminole Indians, and by these but
rarely. We underwent so many hard
ships that some Of our party were
compelled to turn back, but our ef-
forts were not in vain. for we ascer-
tained the important fact that the
everglades along the whole 100 miles
of the. eastern side are trimmed by a
rock edge. We furthermore learned
that all Of the lakes are several feet
above sea level. and we decided that
there was nothing whatever to pre-
vent the water of the lakes from flow
ing into the ocean and leaving the land
drained If vents could be made in this
long ledge of rock. The chief question
before us pertained to the practicable
ty Of cutting through the ledge in va
rious places and dredging out outlets
into the Atlantic, which is not more
than two or three miles away at nu.
merous points.
Experiment proved that this work
would present no great difficulties. II
was merely matter Of great deal of
digging. Henry M. Flagler took up
the project, and it is being carried out
by his lieutenants. We are not only
making artificial outlets through the
rock, but are also, by ditching and
dredging, turning large bodies Of
water into rivers and creeks which
fow to the ocean. The work has pro-
gressed far enough to enable me to
predict confidently the opening in Flor
ida within very few years of great
tract of land of almost unprecedented
fertility Success.

The neighbors soon came to like
this aged woman, and to send small
delicacies to her whenever they had

granddaughter ever saw came in this
way.
One day the family was startled by
