ARTISTS EMBLEMS.
In Whistler's Butterfly Could Be Found
the Monogram j. w.

the Monogram ]. w.
The mystic emblem or device Of a
sort of Whlstlerzed butterfly was
adopted in the sixties by the eccentric
genius James Abbott Whistler, who
changed his name later TO James Nc
Neill Whistler.
Close study will reveal that this pc
culiar scroll is really a monogram of
j. w. The earliest of the etchlngs to
bear the butterfly is Chelsea Wharf
1853, but many paintings and etch-
ings after that date are signed "Whis-
tier"
Artists have sometimes signed their
pictures in some distinct form instead
of their names. 1t generally was done
when the name might suggest some
emblem or symbol.
Thus Hieronymus Cock demarked
two fighting cocks on his panels; Mari.
otto Albertlnelli signed cross with
two interlaced rings, referring to the
sacerdotal duties to which at one time
Of his life he devoted himself; Martin
Rota, a wheel; Pieter de Ryng, a ring
with diamond; Giovanni Dossi, a
bone; Del Mazo Martinez. hammer
Lionello Spada, a sword.
Sometimes caprice dictated the selec.
ton, as when Jacopo de Barberi used
the caduceus, or Mercury rod; Hendrix
de Bles an owl, Lucas Cranach a
crowned serpent, Cornelius Engel
brechtsen a peculiar device resembling
a weather vane and Hans Holbein a
skull.

BetrothaIs in Germany.

In Germany an elaborate method Oh
announcing the betrothal pisctically
puts an end to all breach OF promise
cases. As soon as a couple become
engaged the pair visit the town nan
and declare their willingness to marry
and sign, with witnesses, Il series OF
documents which render change OF
mind on the mans part practically out
of the question. When either party
wishes to withdraw from this agree
ment the pair again visit the town nal
and additional documents are formally
signed. witnessed and sealed. The au
thorities then determine the question
of compensation for injured feelings

BATTLES WITH LOCUSTS.
In 1880 an Army Was Arrayed Against
the Ravauinu Pests


Since the days of the pharaohs the
locust has been an unmitigated plague.
Pliny relates that in many places in
Greece a law obliged the inhabitants
to wage war again st the insects three
times a year, G.. I'm their various
states Of egg, larvae and adult.
In 1719 locusts stopped the army of
Charles XII. king of Sweden, as 1t was
retreating from Bessarabia after its
defeat mt Poltava. The king at first
imagined that he was being assailed
by terrific hailstorm.
In Transylvania in 11S0 the ravages
of the locusts assumed such disastrous
proportions that the army had actually
to be called out to deal with the pests.
and whole regiments of soldiers were
employed gathering them up and put.
! ting them into sacks.
a weird, Iincanny looking customer
is the locust The general color scheme
of his body is n kind of indefinite
green, relieved by pink legs and wings
of a whitish color. Two huge. blank,
unmeaning eyes give an expression of
utter imbecility to the insects counte-
nance.
To atone in a measure for their de-
structive proclivitles the locusts are edl-
BILE. The Arabs are particularly fond
of them. Camels, TO which they are
given after being dried and roasted
between two layers of ashes, look upon
locusts as great delicacies.
The flavor resembles that of crabs,
and in Bagdad they are consumed so
extensively as to affect the price OF
meat.-Stray Stories.

SPEECH ON CONSERVATION

Denver. Aug. 29.-"CO Conservation
does not mean non-use or non-devel-
opment,' said Theodore Roosevelt in
his speech at the Auditorium here
this afternoon, 1T does not mean
the tying up Of the natural resources
of the states. 1T means the utiliza-
ton or these resources under such
regulation and control as viii prevent
extravaganza and waste and keep
them out OF the hands Of monopoly,
and TT the same time not merely per-
nit. but encourage such use and de-
velopment as VIII serve the interests
OF the people generally.
This country has shown definite
signs of waking up to the absolute
necessity Of handling its natural re-
sources with foresight and common
sense. The conservation question has
three sides IN the first place the
needless waste of the natural re-
sources must be stopped. II is rapidly
becoming a well-settled policy Of this
people that we Of this generation hold
the land in part for the next genera
ton. and not exclusively for our own
