Cultivating Mosquito Catchers.

Philadelphia Aug 1S.-This city is
busy fighting the mosquito pest with
the preying mantis. ferOcious look
ing Chinese bug Of four inches III
length. which Entomologist Hornig is
cultivating in the southern section of
the city.
Recently he started 200 nests of the
nantes, and each nest has produced
300 of these black beetles. which the
mandarins use like fighting cocks, and
those which have been placed in trees
in mosquito infected sections have
devastated that region of all the mos
quitOes, which have become their prey.
.Hornig has asked the citizens not to
kill the nantes when they see them or
think they will do harm, for they are
only carniv0rous and feed upon mos
qutoes. When this new implement
of destruction is recognized as the Off
cial eXterminatOr of the PlaSmodium
malariae the city's bugologist believes
that he will soon have the city clear
of the pests. The nantes propagate
rapidly.

For the Instruction of Settlers.

Washington, Aug 1S.-The Interna-
tional Colonization society, which was
organized to aid bonafide settlers who
desire to take possession of homestead
and railroad lands, has conceived the
idea of establishing model farms IN
every state to teach the settlers the
most advantageous manner in which
to improve the lands allotted to them.
Concerning the model farm plan the
society makes this announcements:
1T is the purpose of the lnternation-
al Colonization society, when fully or
ganized, to ask each state within the
United States, through its legisla-
ture or otherwise, to provide and set
apart or transfer to the society one Sec
ton of GO acres of tillable land for eX-
detrimental farming, to be put under
high state of cultivation by said So
ciety to demonstrate the productive
qualities of the soil to the best advan-
tage for the raising of live stock, such
as cattle, sheep, hogs. horses and poul-
try; the raising of grain, such as wheat.
corn and oats, and also vegetables and
fruits of such varieties as may best be
adapted to the different soil and eli
mate where said land may be located,
said farms to be under the supervision
of the said international Colonization
society, which shall, with the advice
and consent of committee of the adj
visory board thereof Jointly with a
committee appointed by each state
wherein lands have been assigned for
experimental farming. select super
intendent who shall possess Il thorough
knowledge of practical farming to take
| charge of same
If it is found that the states are will
ing to cooperate in this work and the
farms prove profitable it IS the inten-
ton of the society to devote any prof
it's to the fund for the aid of the set
tiers. After term of years the plan
is to dispose of the property cultivated
by such means as the states direct
