our school mtmber:
This issue of our paper is so fully
taken up with notices of oar schools
that we bare bad very little room for
local and general news and editorial
matter. Our schools are among the
most important interests of our town
sad we feel that no apology ts needed
to justify the prominence which we
giv them this week. Lexington is
proud ol her excellent educational
institutions and we want the people to
bear of the excellent work which they
are doing.

How to View the Sculpture at Buffalo.
It would seem well to emphasize
this fact, tnat the general scheme of
statuary was treated as a unit as t
its scale, so as really to form a part of
the exposition as a decoration of the
same and not as individual statues or
groups because to many of the soul ro
tors this was entirely a Qoew idea.
With most or them the statue or
group had always been modeled for no
particular place and to look equally
well In the parlor, park, or museum
and to subordinate the sculpture to
the general artistic purpose, and to
make it an integral part of a big
artistic scheme was to many a new
experience and not an easy one; but
It it fair to say that the work bas
been carried on with enthusiasm and
with every endeavor to subordinate
lidividualityjor the sake! of general
harmony. Therefore, when Judging
the sculpture at the Pan-American
Exposition, to be perfectly fair to
the individual sculptor, it will be
necessary to consider the general
effect, and the suocess of each indi
vidual piece of sculpture as a part of
this effect, as well as the individual
merit of tle; work, because in many
Instances the sculptor may have made
sacrifices for the cake of the genera
result and should receive credit for
having done so. From "The Field of
Art," in the June Scribncr's.

An Anti Grasshopper Fuiurns.
Its not only benefluial insects, how
ever, which are being imported, bat
diseases of injurious insects, says L.
O. Howard in Everybody's Magaaine
la South Africa tbe colonists, suffer
severely from swarms of migratory
grasshoppers which fly from the north
and destroy their crops. - Tbey bave
discovered out there a fungus disease
which under favorable conditions kills
off the grasshoppers in enormous nuro
bers. At tbe Bacteriological Institute
in Grabamstown, Natal, they bave cul
tivated this fungus in culture , tubes,
sod bave carried it successfully
throughout the whole year; and they
bave used it practically by distributing
these culture tubes wherever swarms of
grasshoppers settle and lay tbeir eggs
Tbe d House, once started in an army
of young grasshoppers, toon reduces
them to harmless numbers. The
United States government last year se-
oured culture tubus of this disease, and
experiments carried on in Colorado
and in Mississippi show that the
vitality of the fungus had not been de
ttroyed by its long ocean voyago, and
many grasshoppers were killed by Its
spread. During the past winter other
cultures were brought over from Cape
Colooy, and the fungus is being pro
pagated in the department of agricul.
ture for distribution during tbo coming
summer in parts of the country where
grasshoppers may prove to be de-
structively abundant.
