terial prosperity. 1t is, of course, well
known that our farmers are in good
financial condition as a result of Sc
ries of profitable years, and that there
is much less depression in the west
than here. Prices of nearly all farm
products are still high in spite of the
panic, owing to the fact that there is
practically no surplus. Our farmers can
still earn generous profits at present
prices, and the outlook is for a con-
siderably enlarged acreage for all OF
the principal staples this spring. Eu
rope seems unable to secure any i'm
portant increase in her own supplies,
and this insures good demand for
whatever surplus is produced in the
United States. One thing is quite GER
tain, that however the panic may af-
feet production in industrial pursuits,
it will have little effect upon the out
put of the American farmer. He is in
partnership with nature and will in

FINE CHANCE FOR MORROW

FARMERS" SCHOLARSHIP.
Commissioner Is Away and Can't
Avail Himself Of It
at Once.

Maj Jay ]. Morrow, Engineer Commits.
sioner of the District, has been presented
with a wage-earner's scholarship by the
president Of a western correspondence
school. The course is a thorough and
valuable one. according to the literature
accompanying the beautifully engraved
scholarship opened in the majors absence
by his secretary today
In letter accompanying the scholarship
the president Of the institution did not
explain why the major was selected for
this charity ard distinction, but dwelt
much upon the benefits and merits Of a
correspondence school education. particu-
iarly as offered by this school. He in
cidentally mentioned that II was deemed
possible that the major might know some
deserving poor boy or some ambitious en-
ploye under him 10 whom he would care
to give the scholarship.
The president wound up by quoting the
list OF books necessary to be purchased to
follow the studies prescribed, and the
cost Of each.
The wage earner's scholarship will be
forwarded to Maj. Morrow, who is en-
joytng himself living In the open some
where In the Adirondack mountains. His
secretary expressed the belief that the
majors education at West Point and his
army training entitle him to a wage
earner's degree without having to folio
the studies as prescribed by the school
which has SO honored him.

FISHWOMEN INDIGNANT.
How They Forced Removal Of OF.
fcious Police Inspector.
From the London Standard,

From the LONDON Stanudru-
A telegram from Cherbourg describes q
strange happening there yesterday morn
ing The fishermen had brought in big
catch of fish and shellfish, and the mar
ket was just opening when a police in
spector stepped up to one Of the fishwives
to make note of an infringement Of the
loca. bylaws.
The woman had stepped two yards far
Their than the bylaw allowed her to do.
A minute later a second police complaint
was made--against a woman who had
undertaken to sell the fish of a fishwife
who was i'll. A third complaint was made
against fisherman who went out of his
turn in putting up his catch for sale.
The news of the police officiousness
spread quickly. Many Of the women were
still bargaining with the fishermen, but
he last bids and counterbids could not be
heard for the shouts Of the women estab-
lished behind the fish baskets on the mar
ket place. In two minutes the word was
passed around that the fishwives were go
ing to close the market in order to show
their indignation against the police.
For some time all was hurry and hustle:
within ten minutes the market square had
been cleared and the fish returned to the
boats in which they had been brought into
harbor. Thus 1t was that the $4,000 in
habitants Of Cherbourg were without fish
yesterday. The strike came to an end to-
day owing to the removal by the municipal
authorities of the obnoxious police in
spector.

English Food Faddists.

From the British MEDICAL Journal
In no country in the world save per-
haps in the United States, do we meet
with so many persons who display lido
syncrases in respect OF food as in Eng
land.
ut is an indictment which is to great
extent true admitted the manager of a
London hotel Saturday.
1.-THE Englishmans likes and dislikes
in the matter of certain dishes and wines
can scarcely be described as 'fads.' They
are solemn, deep-rooted convictions from
which no argument or entreaty would
cause him to deviate one hairs breadth.
Many American food faddists have
been numbered among our guests this
season. They have perhaps been more
numerous than the English dietetic eccen-
tries. They, however, chop and change
about in their prejudices against certain
things But the Englishman. once he is
persuaded that dish is lacking either in
nutrition or digestibility, comes to regard
1t with an mistaken aversion. He will
condemn it in vigorous terms at the din
ner table, and he almost shudders when
he sees it upon the plate OF a fellow-d diner
1.-The Englshman of leisure, who may
study diet almost as a hobby, and the
successful business man or keen brain
worker, who has dogmatic theories as TO
dishes which produce most energy with
a minimum of digestive effort, are two
notable types. One may declare that he
will never eat an omelet under any in
ducement whatever. Another may order
the waiter never, upon any occasion, to
place salmon before him. Cheese ana
uncooked fruits have a great many in
veterate enemies. Not few English Wis
itors hold UP their hands in horror at the
idea of putting an oil dressing upon a
salad

this sort will discuss his popularity with

TREE-DWELLING ANTS.
South American Insect That Acts az
Plant Guardian,

South American Insect That Acts as
Plant Guardian.
From the Chicago Tribune.
Ant defenders of plants and trees are
some of natures pretty marvels. The
Cecropia adenopus is remarkable tree of
south Brazil, widely distributed through
the tropics. It's slender trunk is crowned
with long leaves at the ends of the
branches.
A few active ants run continually along
the branches and the leaves. but If the
tree Is shaken slightly an army of ants
rushes out by small apertures ready for a
savage assault on the intruder. The ant
is the terrible guardian that the tree has
retained to protect it from its most for
midable enemy, the leaf cutter ant
The defenders rarely leave their re-
treat, where they live on small whitish
egg-shaped bodies about one-twelfth of an
inch long, known as Mueller's corpuscles.
These are formed Of delicate tissue, rich
in proteids and oil, as rations for the
garrison of defender ants to feed upon.
The curious arrangement by which en-
trance is made to the hollow stem has
been studied by w. Schimper.
Just above the point Of insertion of each
leaf extends nearly to the superior node
a superficial groove, at whose end is a
rounded depression. There the tissue
is thin. like a diaphragm in a tube, and
it also is soft. The hole by which the
ant enters is always pierced at this spot
The ants seem to have made their en-
trance through the groove originally be-
cause 1t was at the top. In the course of
this plants further development natural
selection augmented these natural ad-
vantages SO that finally the thin, frail
diaphragm as 1t exists today was de-
veloped

A Weed-Eating Tropical Creeper.

From the Westminster Gazette.
1t appears that at last an antidote has
been found to the noxious weeds which
are so frequently the death of certain
forms of plant and vegetable life in the
east. Specimens of this wonderful find"
have been forwarded to the authorities at
Kew Gardens. This plant is blue flow
ering creeper botanically known as the
Commelina nudifora linnea. but called
''rumput gremah" by the natives of Ma
laysia and "ge-war-an" by the Javanese.
Although the report made at Kew goes to
show that this creeper Is common
throughout the middle east, it would seem
that the managers of estates and pianta-
tons have not known of its peculiarly
welcome properties until very recently
and accidentally.
The prolific weed known as ''lalang" is
the great enemy to rubber growth. It
was the accident of observing that where
the blue Powered creeper came In contact
with the lalang the latter became much
less Injurious that induced planter to
send specimens to Kew. 1t seems that
at first one begins to notice that the
weeds are becoming less prolific where
the creeper is growing among them. This
improvement steadily increases as time
goes on. and 1t has been found that under
the influence of this antidote lalang which
was formerly four or five feet in height
has been reduced to only one or two feet
when Il starts to flower.
But the joyful discovery having been
made that here was an undouDted set
back to the weedy growth that chokes
young rubber and is the bane of the
planters life, the question arose: Would
the antidote itself exercise prejudlciai
effect on the rubber? Therefore the speci-
mems were duly submitted to Kew, and.
as stated to our representative, the new
creeper is unlikely TO have any harmful
effect on young rubber trees" Planters
all over the east may therefore take heart
of grace and also take this new 'medi-
cine"
In appearance the blue Powered Comme-
lima nudifiora is rather pretty, and, like
the weeds which 1T first checks and then
kills, it grows with astonishing rapid!ty.
The particular estate whose manager
made the discovery and acted upon 1t SO
promptly and satisfactorily is the Langkon
estate, in British North Borneo. The
amount OF rubber produced annually in
the Straits Settlements is. of course, very
large, and the results of the discovery
and its successful application are likely
to be far-reaching.

and had to come down in the Grunevald,

At the time of the accident the airship

direction of Dobritz where Emperor VIII

Both airships started out this morning
between and o O'Clock with the object
of seeing which could reach Dobritz in
the shortest time. They faced light
breeze. which freshened quickly until it
was difficult for the balloons to make
Roadway against it. When the Parseval
ship was crossing the Halen See 1t was

While the balloon was making It's way
slowly against an eighteen-nile wind one
of the rods to which the basket is at
tached broke. One of the ends of this
rod then tore a large hole in the envelope
of the balloon, and as the gas began to
escape Maj. Won Parseval thought 1t wiser
to stop his motors and come down. This
he did successfully, and the major and
his three companions alighted without
sustaining any injury. The balloon was
then packed on a wagon and sent home.

Maj. Gross, whose balloon is of the

but half an hour later, when near Pots
dam, he saw he was losing Roadway
against the high wind and returned to
his station at Tegel.
Each of these balloons has made mag
nifcent endurance runs within the last
week. The Parseval stayed up for thir-
teen and the Gross for eleven and a quar-
ter hours.
