NEW YORK.-The whole United
~ States government, with its vast
treasury OF wealth. its brainy states
men and Insurgents, its army and
navy. its immense horde of high
brows, against the poor little house
fly! That's the lineup in bitter war
or determination scheduled to set the
nation by the ears and enlist the cour-
ageous support of every man, woman
and child in this broad land The
final knell of the house fly has been
sounded and the battle has just be-
gun. Catch 'em and kill 'em; show
no quarter is the war cry of the
army of determination that is to put
forth every effort to rid the land of
the Musca Domestica, the polite name
by which the house fly should be ad-
dressed by strangers
Until the scientists got busy with
their Investigations the house fly was
considered merely as a pestiferous in
sect, designed by the Creator of all
things merely to take its bath in the
sweet cream and maple sirup, annoy
the late morning sleeper, skate about
with abandon on the polished surface
of shiny baldheads and practise the
Morse telegraph code on the cleanest
of windows.
Long suffering housewives since
time began were the only really active
enemies of the seemingly insignificant
little fly, and they alone and unaided
applied the imprecations and dish
cloths vigorously against the nuisance.
But after the scientists got onto the

Japanese Use Novel Expedient in
Subduing Savage Tribes.
Most Curious Duel Being Waged
Against Bloodthlrsty Aiyu Tribes
in Island of Formosa-Soldiers
Unable to Check Cutrages.

Philadelphia.-Th most ferocious
instinct of primitive savagery. head
hunting, Japan is to fight with the
most modern of military agencies,
electricity. 1t is a most curious duel
that is now being waged in the island
of Formosa between the Japanese and
the bloodthirsty Aiyu tribes.
It is the proudest achievement of
the head hunter to increase his col
lection of skulls. He who has most
of these sanguinary relics is esteemed
the great man of the tribe and the
gruesome skulls are exhibited with
the utmost pride not only to residents
but to visitors who may chance under
proper guard to penetrate to the fast
nesses of the interior.
1t has not taken long for Japan to
find that her soldiers can not avail to
stop the depredations and outrages
committed by the head hunters.
There are some hundred thousands
of these savages, who became a prob.
lem to the Toxic government when
the outcome of the war with China in
1895 brought Formosa under japanese
dominion.
The gallant little brown men who
had been able to overwhelm the Chi
nese and who later were to strike
such frightful blow at the prestige
of Russia, were unable to deal with
the head hunters
In the guerilla warfare that ensued
as soon as the Japanese soldiers came
into the country the modern sons of
Jupiter were constantly worsted.
1t was private trick of the head
hunters to perform their deadliest out.
RACES right under the noses, so to
speak, of the new rulers of the IS
land
Then tactician in the army struck
on great idea.
Fight them with electricity.
A wall was built across the coun.
try, a wall four hundred miles in
length. not wall of stone, but far
more deadly and treacherous wall, one
made of wire and charged constantly
with current that carried death
Just as certainly as the bullet of
dead shot.
Only it needed no soldier to fire this
death message. All that the head
hunter needed to do was to come into
contact with 1t just for the briefest
space of time and with any portion of
his body. Death was then the sure
outcome.
The deadly obstruction with secret
entanglements most cleverly contriyed
extends across the land from the coast
Of Giran, in the east, to the shore at
Nanke, on the west side, where It
takes turn north and circles about
In such way that the savages. once
within its lines, would find escape
difficult without fatal contact with the
wire.
The fences are connected with pow
erful electric plants and the wires are
constantly kept charged with the
death-dealing fluid.
Already it has been found that the
new system is the most eficacious
that the government has yet con-
trived.
The savages are baffled and mysti-
fed. They cannot understand what
It is that has the power of striking
down their comrades SO suddenly.
They are afraid to move about in the

STANDS BY HIS BUDGET
Chancellor George, Of England, opti-
mistic Despite Necessity Of Provid
ing Revenue Of $4,000, ,ooo-De-
crease Revenues From Spirits.

London, June 80-Chancellor David
Lloyd George introduced the budget
Of 1901 in the house Of commons to-
day. He took an optimistic view Of the
future. despite the fact that he had to
find revenue to meet estimated expend-
itures Of $1ss. $4,000. The Chancellor
figured the total revenue 1898, $1,000.
leaving q surplus Of $S61.000 The
total expenditures included deficit Of
$26,24s, 900 uncollected during the last
fiscal year, owing to the class between
the two houses, all Of which has been
collected since the belated budget pass
ed. The chancellor felt justified to es-
innate the stated revenue on the as
sumption that the volume Of trade this
year and next would be greater than
the country ever experienced before.
He proposed to retain the duty spirits
unchanged, and while admitting there
had been loss Of $1,400,00 in these
duties, said the consumption of spirits
decreased 100000 gallons from the
preceding year and that the moral
gain to the state outweighed the loss
Of revenue.
