Copenhagen.

A sailor of Danish birth now in the
hospital in this city is the object of
the kindly inquiries of two of the
worlds rulers. His name is Viggo Pc
dersen. and both the king of Denmark
and President Roosevelt are solicitous
for his recovery Petersen was until
recently attached to the Mayfowe~,
the presidents yacht. He suffered an
accident, and believing that he could
not live, returned to Copenhagen, his
native city, to die. Mr.. Roosevelt kept
track of Pederson's movements and
wrote letter to Minister Egan, ask
ing him to call on the injured man
and convey the presidents hopes for
his recovery. While at the hospital
Mr.. Egan learned the king was aware
Of President ROOSevelt's interest in
Petersen and had sent orders that he
be given every attention. Petersen
was especially pleased at the interest
taken in his case and it was said at
the hospital recently that he will un-
doubtedly recover.
DR.. T. Madsen, the we'll known bac-
teriologist and president Of the Royal
Serum institute, Copenhagen, returned
few days ago from St. Petersburg,
where he has been studying during
the worst cholera epidemic on record
for number of years. Mr.. Madsen
claims that the River Neva is teeming
with cholera bacilli and that the Rus
sian authorities were not aware of the
fact. He related it as curious fact
that there was not single case where
any member of the clergy had been af-
fected by the disease, but it developed
later that they do not drink the water
from the river, drinking light wines
instead.
Carl Won Moltke, former charge daft
flares in Rome, has been appointed
Denmark's envoy to Washington. d.
c. He is about forty years old and is
considered one Of Denmark's ablest
diplomats. His wife is an American
and was formerly Mrs. Van Rensse-
laer Thayer of Boston.
c. H. Hanson, the Danish consul
at Chicago, has resigned and will
most likely be succeeded by George
Bech, Danish attorney, who was
formerly Danish vice consul at Buenos
Ayres.

Grasshoppers Injurious to Alfalfa.

Grasshoppers Injurious to Alfalfa.
The alfalfa fields suffer to q great
er or lesser extent every year from
the ravages OF grasshoppers. OF the
several hundred kinds known TO the
specialist, two appear 60 be the most
frequent cause OF complaint. They
arr among the largest species that
we have ana are known as the diff
ferential and two-line grasshoppers.
The former Is greenish yellow in col
or aud the latter Is marked by two
pale lines running down the sides
the entire length OF the body.
The eggs of both kinds are laid
in the late summer or fall In pods
in the ground. Thirty or 40 eggs
are placed in each pod The pods
are placed an inch oY more under
the surface OF the ground and are
almost waterproof by being lined
and covered with stick fluid which
hardens into leathery case. The
insects seem TO prefer compact
soil which Is not too moist. Hence,
ditch banks. paths and dry knobs
are most often selected.
In the spring when the alfalfa be-
gins to grow. the eggs hatch and the
young hoppers find an abundant SUP
ply OF fresh succulent food which Is
lust what they need for their success
In the world.
At this season the injury Is not
much noticed because the choppers"
are so small that the quantity eaten

when they attain considerable size
