IRISH TOBACCO.
Cultivation OF the Plant There is
Beyond the Experimental Stage.

Beyond the Experimental Stage.
From the London Tribune.
The cultivation of the tobacco plant has
now passed beyond the experimental stage
in Ireland and may be regarded as an act
ual industry. For some years extensive ex-
periments have been conducted under the
guidance Of the Irish department of agri-
culture, and several experts have been en-
ployed to superintend the cultivation Of the
plants and the cure OF the leaves.
To. Col N. T. Everard Of Navan, County
Meath belongs much Of the credit for the
development of this industry. as for some
years past he has been keenly interested
in the growth Of tobacco. In 1904 twenty
acres on his estate were devoted to this
plant and a yield Of 5000 pounds of cured
leaf obtained. 1t was Of an excellent quail
tty and readily sold at q halfpenny pound
more than the same class of American leaf
The following year the yield Increased enor-
mously. as from thirteen and a hall acres
ity considerably improved. one penny per
pound more being obtained for the cured
leaf than in 1904. The same year nine acres
were grown In County Wexford. which pro,
duced 5000 pounds and two and hall
acres in County Louth, which yielded $500
pounds.
! Until this year only the cheaper forms

upon twenty-five varieties. among which
wrappers. worth from shillings to IL shil-
lings per pound. AZ far as one can tell
at the present time. the experiment is likely
to prove success, the plants looking
for the tobacco grown during 1904 and 1905
was 81 pence per pound. 30 II the cuitiva-

TO vIsIr CANAL ZONE.

President Will Personally Investi-
 gste Great Waterway.
 WASHINGTON, June 25.-President Roosevelt will visit the isthmus of Panama to make personal investiga- tion of the work of construction of the Panama canal.
 The president long has desired per sonally to inspect the route of the ca nal and to make himself personally fla miliar with the great undertaking of constructing the waterway. The deci- sion that he will visit the American zone on the isthmus of Panama was not reached hastily, but has been un- der consideration for considerable time.
 In connection with the announce ment of the presidents intention to visit Panama Secretary Loeb said the president has decided not to visit San Francisco next autumn to participate in the ceremonies incident to the lay ing of the cornerstone of the new fed eral building.
 Mir. Roosevelt has decided to aban- don his tour of the west because of the enormous number of invitations he was receiving to visit schools. colleges, fairs, reunions and cities and towns. He realizes that If he made this trip he must accept all invitations, and this would necessitate a trip of at least three months.

The elder Duval comes to Camille's apart ment to ask her to release his son, to go away, and thus remove the great obstacle to his future career and hap piuess all on the ground that the sacri- flee will be the supremest token of her live. He tells her that the mar riage by which his daughter Blanche is to enter respectable family and on which he sets the utmost importance must be abandoned unless Armand gives up an association of which the beginners of proverbial society make impossible.

Her life is locked in his and the malady from which she suffers gives him only hope of few more years of life. If she leaves her lover she will die at once, but the father is inexorable, the two must give up each other forever. Then Camille makes the great sacrifice, goes back to her old wretched exist ence and to death.

Locusts in Algeria.

Locusts are devastating southern Algeria. The swarms are so great as almost to defy imagination. IL is not easy to conceive of an almost solid phalanx of insects 125 miles long by six miles wide. Unfortunately. the devastation which such myriads of vo- racious insects must create in vege- tation is not so diflcult to appreciate. Wherever the host has passed nothing green remains. Even the houses are becoming uninhabitable. The Gran province seems doomed for this year.
