A PLAGUE OF WHITE ANTS.
A Fortune Awaits Their Extermina-

A fortune awaits the man who Will
tralia with an effective plan TO rid
the people of that country OF white
ants.
Not only are they an annoying pest,
but their destructiveness is costly.
They have an especial taste for -he
woodwork of houses, and the damage
they do reaches into astonishing flg-
ures.
Before the white mans advent
houses were unknown. The aoorig-
ines of the vast territory knew moth
ing Of such structures, few sheets of
bark composing the shelter they tenn
rorarily required. But even then the
white ants abounded. They ate the
standing trees In the forest; they de,
voured fallen branches they made nests
In logs end roots.
With civilization and house tuild-
ing came new spheres for their activi-
ty. Wherever woodwork was used in
city center or bush hut, the creature
had to be guarded against, and the ut
most care and precaution were often fu-
tile in the contest. Buildings have had
to be remodeed and sometimes taken
down because of the extent Of he raw
ages. A building In the country, known
to be affected with white ants, becomes
practically unstable. Occasionally the
affected board or joist or several affect
ed ones are removed and sound timber
introduced in the hope Of making good
the injury; but rarely does such patch
ing avail.

Rhode Island Senator Favors the Plan
of Having One Central Clear
ing House.
MORGAN HEARS HIS ADDRESS.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 10
With J. L. Morgan listening, Senator
Aldrich, Rhode Island, today addressed
the upper body of Congress in defense
| of the currency bill which bears his
name. the measure aimed to relieve
money conditions and which has been so
| bitterly assailed chiefly because of the
! benefits which it is alleged the rail
roads of the country would derive, were
1t to become law.
After comprehensive review of the
various features of the measure and an
elaborate defense of its provisions. Mr..
Aldrlch declared there is no imperative
need for immediate rcCUusjuCtng Of our
financial system, but that additional
notes must be provided for use in em"r-
geuCiCS.
Calls for Reform.
The senator insisted that a reform in
banking methods IL what il needed fully
as much as currency legislation To rem
cdy existing financial evils. He said thc
reserves of our national banks are pain
fully inadequate when compared with
those of European banks.
The furnishing of capital by national
banks for speculative ventures was next
attacked 10y the senator. who declared
such operations are beyond the scope of
legitimate banking and bring discredit
upon American banking Institutions.
Closer Cooperation.
Following the western cry of favor
tism for eastern banks in the CortelyOu
relief measures during the money strin-
gency. Mr.. Aldrich's statement that
there should be closer cooperation be-
tween banks in various parts of the
country was heard with interest. The
speaker said he could see no reason why
the banks should not establish central
clearing house, Il voluntary organization
of clearing house associations which
should in "A way represent the banking
interests of the entire country, which
would exert beneficial influence in facli-
tating and regulating both domestic and
foreign exchanges.
Mr.. Aldrich closed:
The enactment of the pending bill
will furnish evidence that Congress is
not unmindful of Its serious responsible
ties in this regard. There can be no rea-
sonable doubt of the effectiveness of the
measure. The committee firmly believe
that through its enactment an atmOs-
pherc of confidence and feeling of seCur-
ity will be created which will be invalua-
BILE in improving business conditions and
in giving "A new impetus to the work of
