USES ELECTRICITY ON PESTS
Invention of Engineer Destroys Not Only the Grasshoppsrs, But Alec
 Their E00s.

A new machine has just been in- vented by an engineer, Mir. Friggeri, for the destruction of insects. This electric machine has been tried at Palacios. in the province of Santa Fe in the Argentine Republic,
 On a carriage that is easy to transport, MT, Friggeri places gas- oline motor and an alternating cur rent generator, At the back of the carriage a drum is placed, on which about two hundred meters of insu- lated cable have been rolled.
 This cable carries the current to Il metallic net or system fixed upon a little vehicle with two wheels. and which carries in its center a trans- former that is destined to raise the tension to 5000 volts and even more
 After several trials, which have all been crowned with success. the ex- periments at Palacois were consid- cred as decisive. Indeed, not only has it been possible to destroy the grasshoppers but also their eggs, which are to be found buried four inches deep in the ground.
 With the same apparatus provided with a metallic broom worked at the end of an insulated handle, and which is joined to the positive pole of the transformer, it is also possible to completely clean the trees attacked by insect parasites.

HOSPITALITY THAT IS REAL
Party With the Spirit it vainly Emuiates.

It is easy to be hospitable when one has surplus, but even more de- lightful to receive the hospitality of those who only have enough. These give you of themselves; the rich often only of their purchases What they are and what they have, they give freely enough, and they are en- tirely without that simisn and vul- gar notion of hospitality that when one entertains one must give not what others are accustomed to, which has made the modern dinner party such an arid thing. Who would not give all the chef-tinkered dishes he has ever eaten to have 8 chop and potato and pipe with Doctor Johnson; or a cigarette with Chinese" Gordon or Robert Louis Stevenson: or curry with Give. or buckwheat cake and sirup with ldncoln; or sausage and a glass of beer with Goethe: or a glass of punch with Vasa or Gustavus Adol- phus; or to have said 'Skaal' over a glass of the plainest vintage with Bjornson and Ibsen; to be put to sit at the same table with those modern vikings, Sven Hedin and Nansen and Amundsen? The Scandinavian, the democrat of the most ancient lineage in the world, seems to know better than almost anyone else what independence means.-Price Collier. in Scribner's Magazine.
