BUG LIKE* 3f013AOCO.
"Cigarette Beetle" Ilas a Taste for
- the Weed.
A deadly enemy of the emoker is
the “eigaretteteetle," an insect one-
fourth of ay inch long that ,has a
passion for tobacco. It bores holes
through cigarettes, converts the to-
bacco into dusty refuse and discolors
the wrappers.
It Is not less fond of cigars, often
destroying -the -inside works thereof
almost entirely without disturbing
the outer -coat of leaf. When the
ultimate consumer has lighted such
a "weed" he finds that it toes not
draw well and burns unevenly.• The
flavor leaves much to be desired,
and dust is drawn into the mouth
with every puff.
To make the matter worse, high-
grade cigars, in which the more ex-
pensive leaf is used as wrapper or
filler, are far more liable to attack
by the beetle than brands made from
heavier,Ystronger and inferior grades
of 'tobacco.
With cigarettes it is the same way.
The beetle is a connoisseur in to-
baccos and prefers the sweeter, mild-
er types of leaf, such as are used in
themanufacture .of the more expen-
sive grades. Fine Turkish cigarettes
are specially liable to attack, holes
being bored even through the cork
tips.
Most of the damage is done by the
"worm," or larva, of the beetle,.
though the latter continues jo be a
tobacco eater through its adlilt life.
plug tobacco is by no means despis-
ed by the 'need, which riddles - it with
galleries. The same thing happens
to pressed and sliced smoking
tobacco.
The quantity actually eaten bk the
"bug" is of far less importance than
the injury done by the refuse it
leaves behind, including the retnains
of dead beetles, excrement, etc.,
which render the manufactured pro -
dint unsalable.
This highly objectionable insect is
,
supposed to have been originally a
•
native of the warm latitudes of
Americait has been distributed by
Commerce to all parts of the world.
In warm tobacco -producing countries,
such as Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines, where Vie beetles breed
continuously throughout tb,e year,
they are being constantly exported in
shipments of cigars and bales of
cigar tobacco.
Within recent years there has been
a noticeable increase and spread of
the beetle in tobacco factories in
Canada and the United States. It: is
attributed by manufacturers to the
general use of steam for the heating
laf their plants, the higher and more
uniform temperature thus maintain-
ed, rendering conditions more favor-
able fdr breeding. '
In warm weather.. generations of
the beetles succeed each other very
rapidly; thus hogsheads of export
leaf, containing only a few of the
Insects when shipped, may become
heavilyeinfested en route and almost
worthleis after a long sea. voyage,
the high temperature and moisture
in the hold of a vessel creating con-
ditions ideal for reproduction.
Tobacco may also become" infested
en route and almost worthless after
in the hands of the retailer. t The
beetle is now so widely scattered
throughout the country that it is
often found in the storage rooms,
showcases and humidors of [cigar
stores.
Much succes8 is understood to
have been obtained with a machin.e
patented by a Philadelphia. inventor,
Franklin S. Smith, by which the bee-
tles are destroyed (and their larvae
and eggsas well) *Rh the X-ray;
boxes of cigars and cigarettes being
carried by an endless belt through
the apparatus, to be delivered in a
sterilized condition at the thrther
end. It is not _necessary even to
open the containers in .order to ac-
complish the work.
Alcohol and Booze.
The two terms booze and alcohol
have been used so indiscriminately
that the average Person regards them
as more or less synonymoustand con-
sequently one of the most, valuable
and useful of all chemical compounds
Is associated in our min.de with the
dive, roadhouse, and Corner saloon
writes Wm. H. Waggaman, in the ReL.
view of Reviews. The terms are net
synonymous by any Means. Booze,
meaning more particularly the dis-
tilled liquors, whisky, gin, rum, and
brandy, has been, is, and probably
always will be a source of consider-
able misery due to its misuse.
The manufacture of alcohol for
industrial isurposest is growing by
leaps and bounds. Alcohol, moreover,
is a substance of such extreme OA-
porta.nce in science, art and industry
that its production should not only
be unhampered by foolish or ignor-
ant prejudice, but every encourage-
ment should be given the manufac-
turers so , they can place their
product or. market at the lowest
possible co t..
Shaving Soldiers.
It was in warfare that the idea
was evolved of soldiers having their
chins clean- shaven to enhance their
fighting power. In olden times, when
lighting at closer quarters than now,
soldiers' beards offered a very ready
means of seizing one another, and it
was the man who first succeeded in
seizing his opponent's beard who us-
ually had the best of the bargain.
The early races are said to have ef-
fected a compromise in order to re-
tain a fitter military appearance, and
the ancient Egyptians whohad cut
oft or could not cultivate beards of-
ten wore heavy false beards when
they went into battle. When an
enemy seized hold of their beard it
came off instantly and the ancient
Egyptian was able to despatch Ms
quarry while in a trance (yr stupefac-
tion and horror.
The Origin of Dutch. •
The name Dutch is derived front
Dietsch, meaning the vernacular, as
distinguished from Latin. It is the
same word as the German Weu.tsch.
Dutch belongs to the Frankish divi-
sion of the Low German, and is
closely related to the Flemish, with
which it is now practitally identified
in its written form. The Dutch lan-
guage is one of the Germanic grouP
of dialects, and Is praetically the
same in its structure.

underetanding of .he growth of our

agery, for it is reasonable to suppose
that the primitive wants of Man in
different ages and regions have called
forth similar expedients to satisty
them.
Other importat objects of inlets-
tigation fpr the et nologist will touch
the various recil types into which
the Pacific island rs are divided. Of
these, three are generally recognisedt
of whom .the Papuans and - Poly-
nesians appear to show the widest
divergences, with, the MiCralleSiall8
occupying the intermediate. ground
and possessing affinities of race, lan-
guage and custom within the other
two. The presence of two distinct
races qf ma,n in the Pacific seggesta
two periods and sources of immigra-
tion and adds difficulty to an already
perplexing question, for the demark-
ation between the diviaions of the
races is- by no means well defined,
but is complicated, by the admixture
of many other races of both oriental
and occidental origin.
The Papuans may be generally
said to inhabit New ,Guinea, the Solo -
mons, New Caledonia and Fiji. Their
most obvious characteristics' may be
briefly summed.. up by stating that,
they are irreligious, . democratic,
quarrelsome, cannihalistic and hos-
tile to strangers. ,They possess no
hereditary chiefs, paint or scar the.
body rather than wear clothes; cook'
in earthen pots, Chew betel, and their
speech is broken iv into a number
of apparently irreconcilable dialects.
The Papuans are the least attractive'
oce any Pacific islanders, and the
island groups Which they occupy are,
among the least known of the Pacific
and have been for many generations
shunned by mariners- and associated
with everything that, is of evil repute
in the record of the picea.n.
The Polynesians ;in many _attri-
butes are greatly .at variance with
the Papuan islander14. They possess,
generailY speaking, n ela.borate, re-
ligious „system, an established order
of hereditary chiefs and well-defined
social castes. They are friend1V to
strangers, fond of ' dress, expert
manufacturers of Rain, cloth and in-
trepid sesarten and navigators. They
tattoo instead of scar the body, sel-
dom practice cannibalism, cook in,
earthen ovens instead of itt earthen
pot, drink awa, ' and ,possess a com-
mon language understandable
throughout New Zealand, Hawaii,
Samoa, Tahiti and ' the Pautriotu
Islands. •
Of all the Pacific eaves the great-
est interest attaches ito the Polyne-
sian Islanders, but tt le unfortunately
these people whose primitive customs
.
and racial types have been most brok-
en up by modern intereourse.
The Malayo-Polynesian language
possesses the distinetion of being
spoken by indigenes ever the widest
area of any language' a the world,
for it embraces two great oceans and
extends from the 'steed continent of
Madagascar to the isolated islet a
Raoan ui.
Pare "limns.
There have been found in the
Phillippines two fruit e entirely un-
knovtn to Europe and even to Amer..
ice. One of these is the durian,
which grows on a lofty -tree some-
what resembling an elin, is about as
large as. a cocoanut, has a shiny shell
and contains a creamy pulp which
combines some of the flavor of ,deli-
cious custard with these of a fine
cheese. American 'soldiers in the
Philippixes have dubbed the durian
the "vegetable limbiirger." The
other rare fruit is the inangesteen,
but the exquisitely flavered liquid it
contains has not yet been success-
fully preserved for shipping.
NEW MOTOR LAWS

was egaieed b the l*gislature
that the section should not apply in
the case of collision between motor
vehicles, but the baltmee of the pro-
posed amendment was, struck out.
Among the amendments which were
suggested but did not Meet with ap-
proval were the following:—
The Lientenant-Govenor in Cpuncil
may make- regulations to limit or re-
strict the, candle power of any light-
ing device on a motor -vehicle.
No person may be convicted of

ing the apeed,limit) upon the opinion
of a single witness as to the rate of

No person may be convicted of an
offence under Section 11 unless,it be
shewn that the -rate- of speed fixed
by this 'section was exceeded for a
distance of one-quarter of a mile or
• more, upon any highway outside of a

STAR DUST.
Void of Space Filled With Particles
of Matter.
•
If the hand of Omnipotence were
to reach out and remove the sun from
the sky, what would happen tLi...)he
earthl
It Is a questiim easily answered..
The earth would promptly succumb
-to the powerful attraction of Jupiter,
and would become a moon of that
huge Planet, revolving about it. Jupi-
ter is 310 times aS big as the earth,
and one of its four principal moons
is actually larger than Mercury.
A theory now pretty well accepted
by Atronomers is that the toy
'worlds, calle'd "asteroids"—of which
more than 800 have been discovered,
some of them not more than twenty
-miles in diameter --have been picked
up by Jilpiter, out of - the void of
space and thus dragged into the solar
system.
Jupiter- in the same way catches
a gooll many comets. The latter,
once captured, swing around the sun
for a while in elliptical orbits, but
sooner or later,break up or take
flight to other heavenly regions.. No-
body knows whence they come or
whither they go; they do not seem
to be governed by ordinary laws.
Hence, and owing to the mystery of
their makeup, a weird sort of in-
terest attaches to them.
Itt Novenibef of each year the
earth passes through -a swarm of
meteors, and in August it encounters
another swarm—the happening in
both cases being made manifest to
theevery-day observer by many
"shooting stars."
Itis thought likely that these
meteoric swarms are the debris of
smashed -up comets. In 1872 we had
a very spectacular "star shower,"
due aparently to the passage, of the
earth through the remains of Biela's
comet, which had "busted." Frag-
ments supposed to be derived from
that comet were picked up in Mexico.
Seemingly a comet is composed of
meteoric particles. Its brightness is
a mere reflection .from the sun. No-
body can guess how or why such
aggregations of particles should
gather themselves together and wan-
der aimlessly through space. But
one should realize that the cosihie
void is full of this sort of star dust,
which (as we know- from pieces of
it that fall upowour planet) are com-
monly of iron, often of. stony stdff,
and in many instances containing
nickel.
' The "void" of space is not after all
so -empty.. It would se.em to be fairly
filled with flying -parades of matter
—a veritable star dust, the origin of
wli!elt no astronomer has ever at-
tempted to explain. 0

• South America can boast of the
skimpiest post office itt the world.
Opposite Tierra del Fuego is a very
high, rocky cliff overhanging the
Strait of Magellan, and from one of
the rocks is suspended, by a long
• a barrel which receives mail.
To be sure, there Is no postmaster
nor is there any regular letter carrier
or collector, but every ship that goes
'through the strait stops and sends a
boat to this curious little post office,
looks over the letters that are in it
to see if there are any for the men
on board that particular ship, and
places therein letters for seamen on
boilrd ships that are known to be
