Insects and Books.
From the DS,ndss Advertiser.

From the Dundee Advertiser
One Of the chief difflculties in the mat
ter Of books in Uganda is that there are
various insects which are very fond of
paper rs an article Of diet Thus the
missionaries found that when they dis
tributed Bibles among the natives they
were soon destroyed by the white ants.
The remedy will probably be found in
mixing some kind OF chemical with the
paper In pulp. which. while injurious to
insect life. Is harmless to human beings
Until this has been discovered. however
q temporary expedient has been adopted.
The Church Missionary Society has in
duced the Bible Society to issue q Bible

wide and the same in thickness. but long

MT. solo- man is an ardent aqmirer of Wilson: When the distinguished scholar was nominated at the Baltimore convention Mr. Sol0man became highly elated. A few days after he sat down and wrote letter of congratulations to the ca1- diate. The reply today sent further through his heart. He didn't least expect a reply. but merely sent his letter because his happiness over the nomination had to crop out and show itself in some way.
 The letter received today read:
 af beg to acknowledge with the warnest appreciation your kind mes- sage of congratulations. Such evil dences of generous feeling give me great qualification.
 Cordially Yours,

THREE FOR AND ], 3 AGAINST TAAW Alienists Divided As to Their Notion of His
 Sanity

White Plains. N. Y.,' July 11-Wheth- CT Harry K. Thaw is to continue a prisoner in Matteawan Insane Asy- lum Or is to go free will probably be decided within the next two weeks
 Justice Martin J. Keogh, before whom Thaw, through his attorney, Clarence Shearn, has been trying to demonstrate for nearly month that he fs sane, now has before him the statements of six alienists, the best of their class in. the country. Three agree that Thaw is sane and should be turned loose while three insist equally as strenuously that if he ie turned loose he will probably commit another murder. e
 Dr. John W. Russell, head Of Mat teawan, and a friend of Thaw told the court that he feared that if Thaw was released and returned to his for mer habits, especially to drinking to excess he might commit another mur- der.
 This statement is expected to have great weight with the court in arriv- ing at a decision.
 Dr. Charles K. Mills, professor Of neurology at the University of Penn sylvania. was the first witness today. He reiterated his statement of yes- terday that he thought Thaw could safely be given his freedom.
 Several attaches of the Tombs pr1- son in New York and detectives, who conferred with Thaw in prison and court, stated they had never noticed anything irregular in ThaW's actions.
