Dam nett why he beilt upon leasehold land he said that It would last his time ouf; he is a bachelor. Still, he might well hesitate before putting additional stories upon his pretty building at a cost of perhaps a million dollars when he does not own the land. The Brooklyn Eagle, which moved into a new building only a.few years ago, is doubling its size by an addi tion which will make it one of the finest in the country. The Eagle is not much known outside of New York, but it is one of the five or six best Journalistic properties in America. When its new quarters are complete I doubt if any paper in the world will have as uniformly good provisions made for its humble workers. Even the poor, meek reporters will each have a private telephone and type writer. Each editor will have a room to his own use and the editor-in-chief, Mr. St. Clair McKelway, a suite of rooms. The business offices are not upon the ground floor. There is really no reason except custom why they should be. A fine suite is reserve-J on the fourth floor for this purpose, and the desks are as big and shiny as if they belonged to a mining syndicate. The press room is a thing of mar vels. People on the sidewalk can watch the presses at work, as they do at the Herald office. This is a never-falling amusement. But there will be no un tidiness or waste paper for them to see. The sheet will issue from a hole in the floor, the printed copies go down through another. A pressman who wants to visit the sub-basement will slide down a pole like a fireman and disappear like magic. When he wants to come up again he steps on a disc in a round opening and is shot up to the pressroom like a fairy in a thea ter pantomime. The World to Grow. OSEPH PULIT ZER, also, has bought the land adjoining the World building for an addition which will cost a million dollars or more and will double the size of the structure. The World building wVs when S new the tallest S office structure in New York, and the addition will make it again about the biggest, though probably not the highest. The Zpresent World building was erected in one year. and the profits of the paper paid for the work ha it went along. The land was paid for in one check of more than half a million dollars, and no debt was incurred at any part of the proces. It Is hardly necessary to state that the fact cqa be repeated, since Mr. , Pulitzer has given a million dollars to found the new college of Joursalism, and will give another when it is well estab lished. il. Hearst, meanwhile, hesitates about beginning the new pile which he planned to erect at Fifty-ninth street. The land bought for the purpose is an exceedingly conspicuous plot at the southwestera entrance of Central park. There is hardly a more conspicuous site in the city.

C What That Country Has Suffered from s the Insects in the Past-Locust Ravages in Other Countries. b C The agriculturists of Egypt face disas- d ter through a visitation of locusts, and f; the ravages of the insects is fast ruining t or rather consuming the young cotton c and other crops. This experience is nothing new for the land of the pharaohs t and the pyramide, for sacred history 1 tells us of the plague of locusts which r descended upon the country in 1491 B. C., t and since that day there have been other similar plagues. One in 128 B. C. is'said F to have resulted in the death of 800,000 t people in Egypt and Libya through fam- s ine and disease caused by the putrifying t masses of the insects that died upon the t land. Palestine suffered from a locust s plague in 406 A. D., France in 873, the , country about London In 1748, and Ger many, Poland, Russia, Algeria, Sardinia. t the United States and South American t countries have also suffered like catas- r trophes. The locust is a mysterious sort of in sect, and there seems to be little reliable knowledge of his home, his movements and his habits. Dr. Munro, an English scientist who has made a careful study 1 of locust plagues and methods of com bating them, is of the opinion that the t permanent homes of the locusts is found I in those parts which border on the Med Iterraneon sea, limited parts of India, Central Asia, China, Central and North Africa, sections of the United States I near the Rocky mountains, some parts -.p r -t ,. , - - s . or b A STOR OF LOCUSTSL of South America, and certain parts of a Australasia. The temporary home of the locusts are a those parts. to which they o in their t ghts. They By in immense clouds, the density of which are sometimes sum- r dent to obsure the sun.

But the devastation of the wau ed lo c-sts is not feared as much as that of the present sourge in Egypt is caused by the latter. The wr thusts are the adults.

The People Turn Out in Crowds tc Witness the Bloody Sights of the Bullring. Four men were caught by bulls the other afternoon during the corrida at thf Chapultepec bull-ring, one of them being seriously hurt. Yet the bulls, accord- B ing to connoisseurs, were as tame ac sheep, reports the Mexican Herald. As the weather was fine, and it had been announced that Silverio Chico and Capita would fight Cazadero bulls. hun dreds of people repaired to the plaza from early in the afternoon, so that b) of the time the corrida began the plaza wa: er crowded with spectators. th The first bull let into the arena was ti the best of the afternoon. It was fierce. 01 It promptly disemboweled severa sa horses, and chased the toreros arounc h; the arena. as The second bull was a "sinverguenza.' ki He did not kill any horses, nor even at- ic tack the mounted men, so he had to be h sent back to the corral. It was ther h, that the first man was gored. When the J! trumpet blew ordering the brute to be 01 sent back, oxen were let into the plaza as as usual. When coming back, bringingp with them the bull, the latter seemec a] to take offense at being forced to gc e: back in company with oxen. When it reached the door of the toril it made ti for the torilero as he was" closing the P dcor, caught him by his sash, and threw fs him down, then picked him up. one ri horn entering behind the knee and ft emerging in the middle of the thigh 01 The bull then dropped him, and picket it him up again, this time a horn enterins V the left shoulder. Toreros came tc tl make a "quite." The bull was crowder h into the corral, and the wounded man a whose name is Jesus Gonzales, was h promptly taken to the surgeon's room a His wounds are not liable to cause death " but still he is in a serious condition. The third, fourth and fifth bulls were very tame. The fourth jumped the ring and, seeing a "mono sablo" in the calle jon, made for him, inflicting a wound ir the head. The "mono" jumped to the other side of the ring before the next attack, and thus saved his skin. The next victim was Silverio Chico who was overtaken by the fifth bull and thrown high into the air. Fortunately he was not gored. and only receivec slight injuries by has fall. The last man caught was Barciela, _ banderillo, who was caught when he at tempted to place a pair of sticks. He was thrown down with all the might of the bull, and had not the other toreros been quick to oall the bull's attention the banderillero would have had a dis agreeable experience. In spite of all this, the corrida was as bad as it could be. according to ama- 1I teurs, because the bulls were very tame and stupid; with the exception of the second bull, they did not avail them- b selves of the opportunity to make more s trouble. i . :The toreros did their best. Mirandita j Naranjito, Marinerito and Petateritc . placed good pairs of banderillas. Ar- e cadio Reyes., a picador, did very good work. Silcerio Chico and Capita skill- t fully handled the sword, although Sil verio Chico was so scared after he was eaught that he showed something next to fear when kilalghis last bull. The Smallest Resa. The sovereign who reigns over the smallest monarchy in the world is the i king of Cocos, a group of islands near Sumatra. These islands were discov ered about 300 years ago by the cap tain of the Keeling. but were compara tively little known till 18259 when Mr. t Ross, an Englishman, visited them, was struck by their beauty, and took up his abode there. It is his grandson, M. George Reiss, who now holds sway over the Cocos. dt at --- "What do I ysee Paderewaky hrile I shall be de Yhted to mAe h ms as ri p of you to invite me to your musicale!" A DETHRONED OUEEN : ISABELLA II. OF SPAIN LAST OF PARIS' ROYAL REFUGEES. Her Life While on the Spanish Throne Spent in an Atmosphere of In- na trigue and Political Unrest. With the death of Queen Isabella 11. of Spain Paris loses the last of its sov ereigns in exile. There was a time when t the list of exiled kings and queens in a the French capital was fairly long. But f of late years their numbers dwindled sadly. King Milan is dead, Don Carlos has been expelled from French territory B as a pretender to the crown, the late king of Naples has joined the great ma jority, and Don' Francis d'Assisl, the t husband of Queen Isabella, predeceased her by two years. In fact. unless M. Jacques Lebaudy renounces the throne of the Sahara, and comes to live at Paris as a sovereign en retraite, the French t capital will have to do without royalty among its residents. Queen Isabella was extremely fond of Paris. i From her very cradle to her abdica- a tion the late queen lived in an atmos phere of intrigue and unrest. Her father. Ferdinand VII., nad been mar ried thrice without an heir, and his fourth union-with Maria Christina- a only produced daughters, who. accord ing to the Sallelaw which originally pre- a vailed in Spain, could not ascend the throne. The crafty Maria -Christina, however, had induced her husband to set aside this law a few months before her first child came into the world, and accordingly when Marie Louise Isabella was born on October 10, 1830, she was e THE PALAIS CASTILI.E. legal heiress to the crown, despite tha i Spopular discontent at the king's anoo stitutional act Near male heirs were at hand in the king's brother and nephews Eand so the first Carlist troubles began Three years after Isabella's birth, Kln Ferdinand died, and the three-yr-old "Isabella was queen under the guardian ship of her mother. Then came the Carl ist civil war, and endless political troubles at home which caused the queen regent to retreat to France, leav ing little Isabella to military guardian . hip. Of course, the quetion of the young queen's marrlage came early on thei scene, and before she was 15 the as tions were quarreling as to whom she should espose from the point of policy. Thus arose the dimeulties of the "Span Itsh marriages"-now well-known an ciett history-which nearlyaet EWland and France ablas. This ended in Louis tPhilippe carrying the day and forcing on the marriage of the tmanlucky Isabella [to her weak, effeminate cousain, Dona tFrancis d'Ass~t, while her younger sis ter married the French king's son, Doc de Montpemsier. It was an unhappy marriage all through. A on and thre daughters were born to the ill-asorted pair, but the children proved no bonad poiitical troubles tncr.asd, civil war a ragad, and when at-last the army under PIP rli d th.e gaeen th.re wu nothbileftfon r lkabelbt flight.

Even Commercial Travelers Were Not Beyond the Reach of Saving Grace. Dan Daly, the actor, who died recently, whenever he was idle in New York had a great habit of attending Salvation Army meetings. He behlieved in the Salvation Army, and he contributed liberally to its support. Sometimes too, he had inter esting things to tell about It, says the New York Tribune. One evening, rather late, Daly and a commercial traveler entered the Fifth Ave nue hotel together. Daly, with a nod to ward his companion, said: "My friend and I were at a meeting of the army to-night. The captain, after his address, passed through the audience, questioning the people. Coming to my friend, he said: " 'What is your business, sir?' "'I am a commercial traveler,' was the answer. "'And are you saved?' " 'Oh, I'm all right.' "At this reply the captain, turning to the congregation, shouted in a loud voice: "'Hallelujah! A commercial traveler saved. God can save to the uttermost!"' Doubtful Compliment. Poultney Bigelow, who has accepted the chair of foreign relations at Bostom university, had completed an address be. fore the Twentieth Century club of Chi cago. A young man congratulated Mr. Bigelow rather awkwardly on this address, and the learned traveler replied: "That is a doubtful compliment. It re minds me of a remark that a friend of the groom's made at a New Hampshire wed "This friend, an observant chap, watched the groom closely during the ceremony, and at the end bore down on the happy man, shook himun warmly by the hand, and said: "'Bill, ye done good.

St. John, Kan., May 30.-A very pe enliar case is that of the little son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. McBride of this place, as reported by Dr. Jesse L. imes, the at tending physician. "The little boy had a severe case of malignant scarletina which left him semi paralyzed in the right leg and right arm. He also lost the hearing m the right ear. "I treated him and he gained slowly and had begun to try to use his limbs some when a traveling doctor came along and persuaded the child's parents that be could care their hboy in a short time. They used his medicines, but the boy grew worse and began having spells very like Epilepsy. "Mr. McBride came to me again and I poposed ving him a course of Dodd's Kidney PSll, which was commenced at once.
