Washington, February 2l.--The

The arzolla ia a semitTopical plant.
whose eiilaey against mosquitoes was
FIRST discovered by Director of Fisher

summoned by the German government
10 Berlin TO test hiss experiments.
Wilhelmshayen possesses a malaria
station. and In It's vicinity hundreds OF
cases OF malaria have oceurTed each
summer. Director Bartman's expert
ments were made in that territory
which Is full OF stagnant waters and
swamps Infested with mosquitoes.
The proximity OF the sea and the
abnormally cool temperature OF the
summer had an unfayorable influence
upon the growth OF me arzolIa plant
IL, however covered the experimental
waters In short time with a layer OF
about two and "A half inches, which
suffocated all the mosquito larvae be-

American BattIcshlps Return from
Cruise ArOund the World.

After an absence OF nearly is
months, our feet Of battle ships re-
turned to Hampton Roads Monday,
where they were greeted by multi
tude Of people. In the long cruise the
men have stopped at ports on all the

Japan and Ceylon. They have met
men OF every race, and everywhere
they have been heralda OF peace.
Everywhere they conducted Themselves
In such manner that their countrymen
at home were proud OF them. There
were $1,000 men on the ships, and that
such an army turned out in foreign
cities should have deported themselves
as they did was marvellous exhibition
OF discipline and self-respect and the
sense Of responsibility. That the bat
ueships, each one OF them being a
huge and complicated machine, should
have returned, after such a voyage, in
as good condition as when they start
ed Is a proof Of excellent construction
and of admirable handling. This voy-
age will go down In history as the first
voyage OF feet OF modern battleships
around the world, and every man

There Is nothing discouraging in the
fact that good men disagree as to the
best scheme for municipal govern
ment, for all seek common object;
namely, honest administration and
business efficiency In the conduct Of
city affairs. A discussion of various
suggestions. for the Improvement OF
municipal government is not only in
teresting to those that have given
much consideration to the subject, but
tends to stimulate interest among the
people generally, and, as we have so
often said, the best scheme OF municip-
al government that 1t is possible TO de-
wise will fail unless back OF II there

Direct Income Tax.

Jacob II. Schiff, the New York bank
or, is quoted as saying: Il think that
the most satifactory solution of the
present condition of affairs with the
governments finances can be found
not in additional bond offerings, nor
taxes on commodities now not taxed,
or upon bank checks, but In an income
tax so arranged that 1t will avoid the
objections so successfully raised when
this form of tax was last tried"
The way in which a constitutional
income tax could be levied would be
to assess 1t against the several states
in proportion to their population, as
would have to be done with any other
direct tax. And that is the only way
in which a federal income tax should
be attempted. Let the tax be applied
to everybody and each state be requir-
ed to turn in revenue proportionate
to its population, and the income tax
undoubtedly will have to be supported
by the Supreme Court. But II there
Is to be direct taxation, why should
the federal government attempt to
stipuIate the method of raising It?
Why not adopt the simpler plan of
calling on each state for a certain
amount of direct revenue and let the
states raise the money as they choose?

Philadelphia Mint WIN Soon Sink III,
Dies,

Philadelphia, Feb. 20.--The United
States mint here will, in few days,
destroy the dies from which the pres
ent ] cent pieces are made and will
sink the new dies with the bronze
medal design of the head OF Abraham
Lincoln, as ordered by the Treasury
Department several days ago. The
familiar Indian head on the present
cent was made may years ago from
portrait OF Mary Cunningham, lit
tie Philadelphia girl, whose father
was an employe OF the mint
Officials at the mint say that cents
are the most habitually lost coins in
all Uncle Sans fractional currency.
While none of them are retired be-
cause of loss of weight through wear,
nearly all which come into the peo-
pies possession are from the mint
age Of comparatively recent years.
They disappear through a thousand
and one different channels and never
again engage in their mission as a
suitable exchange FOR commodities OF
small value.
With the retirement Of the present
coin the Indian head cent will, in few
or years than one would ordinarily
q ink be In the possession solely OF

THE HOME COMING OF THE GREAT
NAVAL FLEET.

The great feet of United States bat
tleships which made the circuit of the
world, covering a distance Of $4,000
miles, came steamlng into Hampton
Roads on Monday last, amid the
booming Of cannon and the strains of
martial music. The navy people were
there in great numbers and there we're
also thousands OF civilians TO Witness
the grand spectacle There were with
the battleships, cruisers and other
kind OF naval craft. bringing the num-
ber to twenty-four ships which formed
the grand procession.
The IL months cruise which these
battleships completed on Monday last
was the greatest naval achievement OF
history. Never before have warships
made such n cruise, and II is 10 the
credit OF our naval officers that the
whole affair was so arranged and car
ried out that no accident or mishap
occurred to the ships or TO the men.
This floating population was about

entire cruise was not larger than
would occur In that number. OF per-
sons in any community. a being the

TREES FOR HIGHWAYS.
Add to Comfort Of Traveller and Beauty
Of Country.

One OF the interesting features OF
the State Road law of 1908, says the
Baltimore Sun, Is contained in Sec
ton 32E, as follows. The commission
shall cause suitable. shade trees 10
be planted thereon ealong all the
State highways) IL practicable" II
Is clearly practicable to plant trees
along the highways. and is is not too
carly for the commission to be looking
ahead for a supply OF young trees for
this purpose. One OF the greatest at
fractions on the splendid highways OF
France Is the avenues of trees through
which the roads pass. The limbs
trimmed from these trees and made
into fagots are sold for firewood and
bring enough 10 help materially in the
maintainance OF the roads. Such q
revenue aa this could hardly be ex,
pected in Maryland, but In other ways
the trees might be profitable. If 10.
Gust trees were planted the alternate
ones might be cut out when they be.
come Of sufficient size and sold FOL
posts. But. independent of any. profit
Ii would be most desirable 10 have
trees along the public roads, They
would add enormously to the eomfor
Of the traveller and the beauty OF tn,
country. And whatever adds to the
beauty OF the country adds to the mar
ket value OF property In 1t. The cos
OF the trees would be insignificant II
comparison with the benefit they
would confer; and IL good native hard
wood trees are planted they woulC
grow into money, 1t would be al
easy matter for the commission To es
tablish nurseries In various parts o
the State whore walnuts could b.
planted. In few years an abundan
supply OF young trees could be- pro
vided in this way at small cost.

CEMENT SHOW IN CHICAGO.
Exhibition Of New Building Material
Is Opened Today.

Chicago, Feb.18--Demonstra OF
the possibilities of concrete as build
Ing material is the purpose OF the sec
ond annual cement show, which was
opened here today and will remain
open for seven days. More than $50
manufacturers, representing capital of
$3.50 900. 900, have exhibits In the show.
The rapid advance OF concrete in
public favor Is strikingly exhibited In
the show by the figures stating that In
1896 only 10000 barrels OF cement
were produced in the nited States,
while the output In 1907 was 10000
600 barrels The enthusiastic promo
ters OF the use of cement In building
declare that It's use will solve the lum-
ber problem and that its general adop-
tion will mean the saving OF most OF
the immense annual loss by fire.
Among the features Of the show Is
the Edison exhibit Of castings, by
which It is possible to pour and cast
complete residence In twenty-four
hours. They are the invention OF
Thomas A. Edison, who is greatly in
terested In the show.
