found that in the region of it's origin this
beetle had fed upon solanum rostratum. a
plant belonging to the same genus as the

quite content with this article of food.

One of the most extraordinary instances
of the apparent migration of a plant as
if to keep company" with an insect was
the removal of the homely solanum ros-

Many Spurious Small Coins Are Put
in Circulation.

There has been a remarkable activity
OF small coin counterfeiters during the
last few weeks. attributed by secret serv-

season, when offenders expected to pass
spurious money on the hurrying public.

circulating bad money, makes the fourth

Due to Business Rivalry.

The explosion in the park opposite the
Tivoli Hotel. which occurred while Presi-
dent Taft was attending a dance given
in his honor at the National Theater at
Panama last night, is reported in dis
patches to the Panaman legation here to-
day to have been the outgrowth of bust
ness rivalry between two merchants In
the vicinity.
The dispatches state that the explosion
occurred outside the district traversed by
President Taft. which was guarded by
line of police. from the station to the Ma
tional Theater.
While President Taft was at the
dance, an explosion occurred at de Les
seps Plaza, in front of the Hotel tt

hotel,'' says the dispatch to the legation.
THE cause of the explosion is believed
to have been jealousy and revenge be-
tween two Spanish rivals in business
Minister Valdes gave out at the lega
ton here today official reports from his
government stating that the minister of
foreign affairs had reported the matter
to President Taft, who was convinced
that the explosion had been in no way
connected with his presence in the city.
1t is said that even if the explosion
had occurred while President Taft was
passing he would have been in no danger.

journey in search of the beetle.
The prevailing direction OF plant mi
grafton in this country appears to be
westward. With the settlement of the
country, the plants Of Europe and of
eastern America tended to crowd out the
native vegetation. But the solanum
proved an exception to this rule APP
parently it realized that its destiny was
to be eaten. Nothing but the potato
beetle would eat it, SO it came east to
find that insect.
