TO Be USED
TO DRIVE AWAY FLIES
Experiments With Insects
From the Orient Will Be
Made in Florida.

A shipment Of several thousand lady
bug beetles that are to be used against
the. white fly in the orange groves Of
Florida arrived at Boston aboard the
steamer Iveric yesterday. They nave
been started toward this city. and will
be forwarded Immediately to the
laboratory Of the Department of Agri-
culture at Orlando, Fla. There they
will be bred through the winter and
turned loose In the spring.
The white fly has been seriously dam
aging the Florida groves for some time.
It was imported from the far east, and.
like most animate pests, when 1t got
outside Of its native habitat and away
from the natural enemies that hold 1T
In check, 1t multiplied without restric-
ton and raised particular Cain"
Home in Valley Of Gauges.
Of entomology, r. S. Woglum. has been
travelling in the orient, and with other
things he tried to locate the original
home Of the white fly. He thinks he
has found it in the upper valley Of the
Ganges. and here the Iady-bug beetles
were apparently the chief enemies OF
the fly, eating it. Mr.. Woglum made a
collection of the bugs that were sent
home by mail, but they could not stand
the transportation, and all died The next
and larger shipment was put In the
cold room of the Iveric, and apparently
has arrived at Boston in good condi-
ton.
It is not assumed by the bureau that
the beetles Sare going Immediately to
rid Florida of the white ny. me
scheme of importing the flies natural
enemies is merely one Of the measures
always tried when possible in such a
case. 1t may be impossible to breed
the bugs, or they may fail to take hold
in the open as they do In India.

WESTERN AND TECH
ARE OUT ON TRACK
Both Squads Must Do Some
Hard Work to Develop
Good Teams.

The past two days have added to the list
of those already on the track putting in
good Hcks III preparation for the coming
season Technical and Western High
squads. Very few men have so far re-
ported for work at the West End insti-
tuition, but it seems that Tech has an
abundance of good material.
Western started work Thursday, but
only seven men showed up for the first
workout Yesterday added eight more
to the total, but among those reporting
not one has had previous experience at
the running game. The boys are for the
most part young and undeveloped ana
it is doubtful if much can be done with
them in the limited time.

den, Mayfield and Adams are the only
old men who have reported as yet. OF
these Tanner is the only first team man

den were members of the junior team;
Hunter did some fair work in the mile
and it is expected that he will improve
considerably in. his work this season.
Barclay. who ran first on the relay four
last year, will he out tomorrow and so
will Lascola, who ran the distance events.
While Adams, who was the most prom

said he will not run this year, II Is al
most certainty that the next few days
will find him hard at work. He will add
greatly to the prospects for representa-

and would undoubtedly do much better
work in the 44O Shoemaker, who has mad
some experience in athletics, is expected
to come out tomorrow. Upman, who ran
the hurdles last winter, has not yet been
out.
Tech has an excellent chance to win the
spring championships If the reports as to
the quality of the material are to be
given credence. About thirty men nave
already reported and recruits are showing
up every day.
Thral, who was the mainstay of the
Mercury Athletic Club last year. is like

to take part in track work.
Western. If it expects to do anything
in the scholastic meet next spring Will

shown so far and get more men out.
While Tech has some good material, u
will be remembered that it takes time to
develop a runner, and il the two schools
expect to compete with any degree of sue
cess against Centrars seasoned men some
mighty hard work will have to be done.

The invention is regarded as marked
Improvement over the present arrange

HIS POWER ON WANE,
TANG SHA0-N RESIGNS
Quits Presidency of Chinese
Ministry of Posts on Ground
/. of III Health.

PEKING, January 7.-Because OF his
failure to enjoy the confidence and sup
port OF the grand council, Tang Shao-Y
ministry OF posts and communications on
the plea of i'll health. The resignation
has been accepted, and Sheng kung-Pao
has been appointed to the Office.
While the retirement of Tang Shao-Yi
may be regretted in America, where he
is known as a graduate Of Yale Univer-
sity and a special envoy from China who
thanked the President for the return to
China of a portion Of the Boxer indem-
nifty, the change will not be unfavorable
to American financial interests here. The
new president of posts is experienced as
a negotiator of foreign loans, regards
the pending loans as advantageous to
China. and, through his influence, it Is
believed that the Hukwang railway en-
terprise and others will be concluded
after the customary period of confer
ences and exchanges.
Appointment Well Received.
Tang Shao-Yi assumed office August II
last, and, being a progressive and BE-
longing to the anti-Japanese party, his
appointment was a popular one. 1t was
believed that his acceptance of the presi-
dency meant a change for the better In
the policy of the government and that
more businesslike management or the
railways might be expected. He had
risen RAPIDLY In 1906 he was made Gov
ernor of Mukden, and it was during his
tenure of that Office that he was sent to
Washington on the special mission or
thanks.

PHILIPPINE SOLDIERS
LOYAL TO UNCLE SAM

''but that we should have force ready
for such emergency needs no discussion.

Should the emergency arise we would
have to depend upon native troops. The
authorized strength and organization Of
native scouts should be utilized as a nu-
cleus to train a native army for this pur-
pose. It would be an easy matter to in
augurate scheme, embracing two years
service with the colors and a longer Pc
Rod with the reserve. that would provide,
within a few years, an adequate and re-
liable force for defense"

undoubtedly acquit themselves with credit.
the report says. In regard to the faithful
ness of the scouts to the United States,
Gen. Perishing adds that the officers who
have had the largest experience with them
express a firm belief In their loyalty
Gen. Pershing suggests that the tour of

pines be made four years, as in the pres
ent term Of two years the soldiers hardly
