POTATO MOTH WORKS HAVOC.
Wintr Crop OF Potatoes Likely to be
Destroyed by Moth.

Washington, July 29.-Warning
against a pest that threatens every
dinner table in the land was issued
today by the Department of Agricul-
ture against the potato tuber moth
which is working havoc with the po-
tato crop in numerous parts of the
country, and whose ravages threaten
to prevent the planting of the vege-
table in many places for the winter
supply. The pest is especially prev
alent in California and Texas, the de-
partment reports, and through ship
ments of early potatoes it is being
introduced broadcast throughout the
United States.
Experts Of the bureau of entomolo-
gy urge potato growers to look care
fully over potatoes they dig and des-
troy every potato and vine that
shows the slightest signs of the
moth.

American Money i'm Canada.

Washington, July 3O.-In connec-
ton with the dissatisfaction felt over
tariff legislation in many sections of
the country, Democratic leaders have
been looking into the records of
American capital invested in Canada
during the past few years. 1t is shown
that $500,O00,000 OF American mon
ey is now being worked in Canadian
territory. There has been q marked
increase in American investments
throughout the Dominion within the
last few years. According to figures
collected for the five-year period 1906
1909, inclusive, the amount Of Ameri-
can investments was $27S,O75,OOO. In
May, 1911, it was estimated that these
investments were approximately
s4l7,l43,221. Since then. according
to the belief Of officers Of the gov
ernment who have made a study of
the subject, there has been an ad-
ditional investment in the neighbor-
hood of $SO.OOO,OOO.
Recent reports on this subject from
American consuls and other sources OF
information in Canada have not been
collated, but officials are satisfied that
the estimate of s5OO,O0O, 900 OF capi-
tai invested is not far out of the way.
While many of the investments are i'm
lumber, mines farms, and other nat
ural resources Of the Dominion, a very
large amount of American capital has
been sent into Canada in recent years

CASTRO INVADES VENEZUELA.
OLD TYRANT TRYING TO RE.
GAIN POWER.
There May be Il Three COrnered Fight
Since Gen. Hernandez, the Nation
al Liberal Leader, Also Has De-
signs Oh Dictatorship.

New York, July 30.-Confirmation
Of reports that Cipriano Castro has be-
gun revolutionary activities in Vene-
Zuela was received here today in a
cablegram to Gen. Jose Manuel Her
nandeZ, leader of the National Liberal
party in Venezuela, now a political
exile in this country. The message,
dated yesterday and sent by one of
the generals agents at Cucula, Colon
bia, near Venezuelan border read:
"CastrOs followers have begun in
vasion."
This is what / expected" said Gen
Hernandez tonight, but / have no
further information of Castro's ac-
tivities."
Gen. Hernandez, popularly known
as "El MOchO," is opposed both to
Castro and the present Gomez gov
ernment and is said to be waiting op-
portunity TO return to his native land
and lead revolution Of his own party
against President Gomez. He issued
tonight the following statement:
Gen. Hernandez as the recognized
leader of the National Liberal part5
of Venezuela has with him the back
ing of the great majority of the coun-
try and in the present state of affairs
he can only say he is closely watch
ing events TO see what can and must
be done at the proper time and when
due opportunity presents itself.
with reference to Gomez and Cas-
trO, both are hated and distrusted
both at home and abroad and there
fore there is no doubt that both will
be forced by public opinion to disap-
pear from the political scene. What
the country wants is not merely a
change of men, but a change in the
whole rotten system"

GREAT OYSTER BED IN SEA.
Supply Of Edible Giant ScaliOps Vir-
tualIy IneXhaustible.

Washington, July 3O.-An import
ant economic discovery in the shape
Of an inexhaustible bed of giant seal
lops off the Atlantic Coast has just
been made by the United States Bu-
reau Of Fisheries. Dr. Hugh NJ Smith
Commissioner of Fisheries, reported
the valuable find today 10 Secretary
Redfeld.
This bed Of big edible bivalves is
said to extend all the way from Black
Island off Rhode Island, to the Yir-
ginia Capes and appears to be 80 miles
or more in width.
The discovery was made by William
w. Welsh and DR.. Henry b. Bigelow,
scientific assistant in the bureau, who
have just completed i'm the Fish Com
mission vessel Grampus a trip from
the New England coast TO Norfolk.
Every time the vessels dredge was
put down, the experts reported, il
brought up from one TO three bush
els OF scallops. sWMsA /.
Another trip is to be made at once
to determine more exactly the limit Of
the beds. Charts will be drawn show
ing it's boundaries. Enough is known
from the information already secur-
ed to make the officers of the Fish
Commission feel confident that their
discovery is of gerat economic value
and virtually inexhaustibls.
Heretofore the giant scallop has
been found only in small spots along
the Maine coast, although the small
variety inhabits many places.

Teach the Girls Home Making.

A girl who cannot cook the food she

ANCIENT SHIPWRECK.
Divers Discover Vessel Filled With
Greek Bronzes and Marbles.

London, July 29.-How a shipwreck
in sc b. c. was discovered was the
interesting story which Prof. r. c.
Bosanquet related to the members
Of the Society for the Promotion or
Roman Studies.
In 1907 some sponge divers found
an ancient wreck on the sea bottom
at rs fathoms four miles off the coast
of Tunis, and the diving operations
were carried on for five years The
ship had on board a cargo OF marble
columns and works of art, and it is
thought that in all probability the dis
aster was due to faulty loading, as 65
of the columns were placed between
decks. -r.
similar wreck was discovered in
1900 off the Greek island OF Cerigo,
and in both instances the bronzes
were comparatively well preserved,
particularly a notable figure Of Eros,
which may be connected with the
school Of Praziteles.
In sharp contrast to this is q group
of very realistic statuettes, which
seem to represent dancers in an an
cient cafe chantant. The vessel con-
tanned abundant remains OF bronze
furniture, braziers, candelabra, and
the feet and arms Of bronze couches.
