water nn,,arniss.

Real water butterflies spread their
lovely wings In the clear wavelets Of
the blue Mediterranean. Their scien-
tiac name Is pteropoda, or wing footed.
The commonest Is perhaps the boat
butterfly" His body seems formed
round tiny brown kernel, the size OF
a grain OF wheat. and Is covered with n
shell soft as grlstle and almost trans
parent. His wings are large. round
and clear as glass; 30 clear that before
they can be examined they must be
put In a saucer OF water against a
blacg ground. The shell ls so loose
that mere touch separates Il from
the body. All the sea butterflies have
on their tongues rows OF strong pointed
hooks, They are all flesh eaters. II Is
wonderful to watch through the trans.
parent shell and almost equally trans
parent body the motions Of the heart.
These butterflies lay eggs. just like
the land ones. and, like the land ones.
are fond OF warmth and light.

Cotton in Good Condition.

Atlanta, June 24.-The Constitutions s reports from the southeastern cotton belt shows that the cotton crop is In good condition and well advanced. in some cases blooms being reported.
 The recent heavy to excessive rains re- ported from all sections have caused much growth of grass. There Is a general com plalnt of scaScity of labor. and In many instances women and children are working in the fields
 In Georgia the past week conditions have been favorable in spite of excessive rains earlier in the month; the crop is in good condition. but farmers are having trouble in keeping the grass chopped out. Cotton has begun to bloom in the south ern part of the state. and aside from ths fact that farmers fear scarcity of labor the outlook Is encouraging.
 In South Carolina recent heavy rains are reported to have damaged the crop at least 20 per cent. but with favorable weather from now on the balance of the crop will not suffer. The greatest problem now confronting the farmer is that of la bor Women and children are mostly seen in the fields Continued wet weather has resulted in suspension of field work and consequently grass has gained much headway.
 Recent heavy rains in North Carolina have been very beneficial and the plant Is now in a fair condition. Blooms are seen in the southern and eastern portions of the state abor is very scarce and more unreliable than ever before.
 Tn Florida the present average condition throughout the state Is good, and with inc exception of few localities. where rains have been excessive. the crop Is free from grass. Weather conditions are ia. vorable, but there is a scarcity of lac bOr

Too Hot and Too Dry.

New Orleans. June 24.-The Pcayune's correspondents report that weather has been very hot and too dry during the past week. There have been showers, but they have not been evenly distributed some dis tricts receiving beneficial rains and others no rainfall whatever. In Mississippi, while cotton has suffered from drouth, cotton has continued to make excellent progress. and has not yet been injured. while the fine weather has facilitated farm work, fields now being clean and in splendid cul- tivation Corn is said to be suffering greatly for the lack of moisture, and has showed marked deterioration during the past week. In Louisiana the weather has continued generally too dry and corn has been undoubtedly damaged.
 Cotton has not suffered to any extent SO far, and nearly every point heard from reports the crop doing well and looking healthy although il is claimed that rain would now be beneficial The dry weather in addition to hurting corn. has been dam aging to sugar cane. rice and vegetation. Only a single place of those heard from reports a slight deterioration in cotton due to drOuth

INACTION IN 1905
 BROUGHT ON CRISIS
MEMBER OF RUSSIAN CABINET THINKS PRESENT SITUATION WILL BRING UNENDlNG CALAM- ITY TO THE NATION.

London, June 25.-rhe Daily Telegraph this morning publishes an article writ ten by member of the Russian cab inet in which it is admitted that with the governments indecson and inaction in the autumn of 1905, when it would have been easy to win over the local zemstvo party to cooperation with the govern ment in it's work of reform, it then sow ed the seeds of the present trouble. The delay consequent on this inaction, he says, led to the formation of an alliance of the reform party and group of terror ists and anarchists, fatal step which '1 am convinced will strike the Russian emancipation movement barren for many long years to come. and be fraught with intending calamity to the nation
 The writer proceeds to refer to the great hopes raised by Count Witte's call to the power. and the subsequent dis appointment at his failure because of his vaeilliation and inconsistency. He com plains that Witte, instead of declaring ruthless war against the revolutionary and terrorists party, actually Contributed toward tieing the Gordian knot between the modern opposition party and the ter- rorists tighter than it was before.
 Wittes policy in fact. the writer con tinucs. led to the election of a parlia- ment of n revolutionary character. repre- sentative not of the Russian people but of the stump political lawyer of the popa- lation and hence it's dissolution is mere ly question of time.
 In conclusion the minister argues that return to bureaucratic absolutism is impossible. The tremendous difficulties of the present moment lie in the full recognition of absolute necessity to re- new the worn out frame work of the government by means of real national representation and by enlsting the CO., operation of men of the soil, even if Shey are chosen from the present parlia- ment.

MAY OPEN MANCHURIA.
Civil Authorities of Japan Pursue
 More Liberal Policy.

Pekin, June 4.-The leading commer- cial men are now taking a more hopeful view of the prospects for securing a share of the trade of Manchuria, and 1t appears that the Japanese government ap- pears willing to fulfill it's promise of an open door in that country, at least 1t has shown a better disposition than the military authorities.
 There has been friction between the civil and military authorities concerning the policy to be pursued as to foreign trade privileges in Manchuria. The civil authorities are more liberal. and 1t Is be- lieved that when the military administra- ton is withdrawn foreigners will be given greater freedom.
