POWERS DEFER
TAKING ACTION
Change of Form in Turkish
Government Will Aid Re-
form in Macedonia.

St. Petersburg. Aug. S-The foreign Of
flee has sent to the Russian diplomatic
representatives abroad copies of the
scheme for Macedonian reforms as drawn
up by Russia and fully approved by
Great Britain. The documents are ac-
companied by a communication to the
various powers setting forth that the prof
ect is forwarded to them only for their
information, inasmuch as, in the opinion
of Russia, the powers should, in view OF
recent events, defer any action which
might be considered to show distrust OF
the sultan and the Ottoman government
in the work of reform. The dispatch adds
that Russia Will follow with the most
sympathetic attention the efforts of Tur-
key to assure the successful working of
the new regime and that she will abstain
from any interference calculated to COM
plicate this task.
'On the other hand the dispatch con-
cludes. Russia, faithful to her historic
traditions. and taking her stand on her
treaty rights, will only consider her own
work of reform in Macedonia. or that of
the other powers has been accomplished
If the work undertaken by the sultan re-
suits in real improvement. Should the
contrary be the case, it will be the duty
OF Russia to direct the attention of the
powers to the necessity of resumins- this
work of reform at present interrupted.

Remarkable Results.

The results have been astonishing The
moths. drawn by the brilliancy, come flut-
tering in thousands along the broad rays
of light. When they get within GER
tain distance of the reflectors the ex-
haust fans take up their work, and with
powerful currents of air swirl them down
into the receptacle. On the first night
no less than three tons of moths We're
caught. 1t has been decided to build an
other trap on the Rathaus tower. and the
fight with the moths will be continued.
The forests of central Europe have from
time to time been ravaged by moths from
Russia. whose larvae denude the trees OF
their foliage. The splendid pines of the
LausitZ mountains are this year threat
ened with extinction.
