SURPLUS IN TREASURY.
For the First Time Since Purchase
 of Panama Canal Property.

Washington, March 3.-For the first time since May 1, 1904 when the government made it's payment Of 50,- 300 ,000 for the Panama canal proper sy and $4,60o,o00 loaned to the Louisi- ana Purchase Exposition, company, the daily treasury statement issued today shows for the fiscal year a sur plus of receipts over eXpend lures. The surplus today amounts to S1,l02,- o03. This is regarded by the treasury officials as remarkably fine showing, especially in view of the fact that the expenditures since July 1 last, on ac- count of public works exceed those for the corresponding period last year ay nearly $12,0oo,0oo A very large part of this sum was paid out for Panama canal construction.

Shooting Beetles.

There is very interesting carnivo rous beetle, species of brachinus. which is known as the .'bombarder. y It possesses a little sack at the hinder end of the body filled with a malodor- ous fluid, which is used as a means of defense. This fluid when discharged at an enemy Is voatilized in contact with the air, appearing like a tiny puff of smoke, with faint pop" accom- panying the explosion. The fluid is of an acid nature and leaves a persistent red stain and very disagreeabe odor on the unwary finger that provokes it.. There are several species of these shoot ing beetles. all of which have red heads, thoraX and legs and dark blue or green ish blue wing covers. They are usually found in moist situations hidden un- der stones or fallen wood, except when hunger forces them into the open in search of the smaller and softer bodied insects. on which they subsist. A spe- cies of very similar form and colors. but without the shooting power. is a able ally of the gardener, devour- 'ng the eggs and young larvae of the potato beetle. cucumber beetle and oth. CT lsnrnciouS forms.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT.
BY Henry F. Cope.

:, Heavens anthems come al
ways to those who are faithful
to earth's toll.
God looks through the gift
that is given for men to look
at.
There is no such thing as a
helping hand with Withholding
heart.
;. No man ever had a happy
Christmas by thinking Of what
he was getting.
It's the cheer and not the
charity we give that makes the
world brighter.
Nothing could be more Saeri-
leeious than a selfish gift rem
dered in His name.
Tell Of your happiness and
you will find your troubles in
definitely postponed.
You are most likely to hear
the angels singing if you go
where some one is weeping.
No man ever got any good
, out of giving who did it with an
eye single to his own glory.
: Many a mans appreciation Of
Christmas has been spoiled by
, his apprehension of New Years

Bet MILLIONS IN
PUBLIC REQUESTS

London, July 21.-Owing to prema,
ture statements regarding the will Of
the late Alfred Belt, the south African
financier, the executors of Belts es-
tate last evening gave out the exact
terms of the public requests, without,
however, disclosing the amount of the
fortune left. Sums enumerated in the
requests make a total Of $9,675, 900,
not including the value Of the estate
bequeatned his native city of Hamburg
or the art treasures bestowed on the
National Gallery and the museums of
Berlin and Hamburg. 1t is, however,
believed that the aggregate will not
be far short of s12,0o0,000 The most
notable provision of the will is that in
which body OF trustees gets control
of 100000 to be used in the develop
ment and construction of means Of
communication, transmission by rail-
way telegraphs and wireless tele-
graphy and telephones in RhodesIn
