THE LONG ARM OF RUSSIA,
Secret Service Guarded ST. Peters.
bure's Mayor In Chicago.

The long arm of the Russian secret
service stretched across the sea and
shrouded in o%bscurity the movements of
Dimitri A. KasitZin. mayor of st. Pc
tersburg and president of the Russian
duma, when he was in Chicago last
May. He was accompanied by Nladi-
mir L. Polevoy. secretary of the impe-
rial Russian consul in New York. and
his every move was closely guarded
from the eyes and ears of the public
and from Russians who might have
sought to do him harm. In the course
of his stay he scarcely Travelled Il block
except i'll a closed taxicab.
Despite the secrecy of his arrival at
the Blackstone hotel and his equally
transformations le~ayetaking. the mayor
of Russia's capital and one Of the
strongest of the little fathers allies
made a study of Chicngo's waterworks
and drainage systems, as Well as Of the
proposed subway and the street ear

Certain species. however. often cross

Some Observers ave recorded rather
remarkable facts concerning the flights
or butterflies. Kent says that he has
frequently seen hosts of white butter
files crossing the English channel from
France into England. ii. W. Bates
states that at one place in South Amer
lea he saw eighty different species of
lepidoptera flying about i'm large mum
bers. The flights are due. perhaps, in
a very large measure. to the eregarious
habits Of these insects and not to Il
rea! migrating instinct. Darwin relates
that he saw Il butterfly shower ten
miles off the South American coast.
He states that las far as the eve could

scope. it was not possible to see Il space

Like ~Abraham's cattle Of old. butter
flies are "ringed, speckled. spotted and
~streaked," besides the white, yellow
and brown. They rival the tropical
birds in the beauty and the brightness
OF their coloring.

MILLION DOLLAR
LEMON PICKED BY
CITRUS DEALERS

New York, July 23.-That specula-
tors in lemons have lost over $1,000
600 in the last three months by over
buying the market was the assertion
here today of leading fruit importers.
They say that this has been the most
disastrous season lemon importers
can remember.
The speculative movement began
in the spring with reports that the
California crop of lemons had been
destroyed by freezing weather. Spec
ulators in Italy then began to con-
tract heavily with growers. Import
ers here rushed orders to Italy to buy
all the lemons in sight.
Then came the crash. The specu-
lators found that there would be nc
shortage in this county. The cold
weather in California did not cause as
much damage as first supposed and
| late spring kept down the con,
sumption of lemons.
In the last few weeks some of the
importers have had to sell at S4 ol
less lemons that cost them upward OF
S. a box.
The receipts in April and May
amounted to 495, 900 boxes and there
was a fiat loss well in excess Of
$500, 900.
The receipts for June and early Ju
ly have been close to 100000 boxes
adding 100000 more to the account.
