The raspberry worm, or slug, rs It
10 more commonly called. Is beginning
ats depreciation again upon the rasp-
berry foliage. Several inquiries have
been received at the experimental sta
ton concerning it.
This insect has occasioned severe
losses to owners of raspberry patches

with short hairs or spines and is SO
near the color of the leaf that 1t Ia
often overlooked when quite abundant.
Its injuries are first noticed by the
appearance of numerous small holes
in the raspberry leaves. These holes
gradually increase in size and number
until often times the leaves are com.
pletely devoured.

Rumor of Beatifcation of Christie
pher Columbus Discredited.
spondence Of The Star.
LONDON OCTORER


LONDON. OCTOBER 81, 1909.
The recent report that the pope in
tended to initiate the cause Of the beati-
fcation Of Christopher Columbus is un-
founded and it probably originated from
the wish expressed by the Archbishop
of Philadelphia that the discoverer should
be raised to the honor of the affairs. AS
a matter of fact no cause of the beatifi-
cation of Christopher Columbus has ever
been introduced or instituted, as the pro-
cess of Qualification has to be initiated
by the bishop who has jurisdiction over
the place where the subject was born,
lived and died.
Columbus was born in -enoa, lived at
COrdova and Santo Domingo and died
while on a journey in Valladolid and the
bishop of none of these places has insti-
tuted canonical information concerning
him. Several petitions have from time
to time been addressed to the pope ask
ing him to make an exception in the case
of Columbus and to take himself the
initiative of introducing the cause of ,he
beatification; and the case was also
brought before the Vatican council in
1870 but no decision has ever been given,
either by Plus TX, who seemed to favor
the Qualification of Columbus, or his sue
ceSsorS.

GEISHA SAVED ITO.
Years Ago It Was, and She Became
His Princess.

Foreign Correspondence of The Star.
LONDON, October %. 1900.
Prince Ito. who was assassinated at
Hardin yesterday. had a narrow escape
from a similar fate over forty years ago.
when the struggle between the followers
of the mikado and of the shotgun was at
it's height.
Pursued by band of armed opponents,
Ito took refuge in a teahouse. where he
was known. and implored one of the
geisha to hide him.
There is in every japanese house a dust
hole. AS the ground floor is raised about
two feet above the earth. a square hole is
cut In the floor to serve as a receptacle
for the sweepings of the rooms.
With great presence of mind the geisha
put Ito down this hole. She covered il
with a board, placing a brazier on top.
When the pursuers arrived they found
languid girl sitting by the fire, who
expressed her surprise at their visit and
assured them they were at liberty to look
through the house. After a search they
departed disappointed. not one of them
having thought of the dust hole.
The prince thereupon scrambled out
dirty but grateful and fun of admiration
for his preserver's GOODNESS and prompt
tude.
He returned many times to that tea
house. Ultimately the heroine of the ad-
venture became Princess Ito.

The glands Of the skin are known as the
sebsceous, or oil glands. and the sudoriparous or
sweat glands. The sebaceous glands secrete the
oil and their main duty IS to keep the SKID

the skin, which becomes waxlike in appearance;
