Chief Executive Is Informed :That Articles to- Combat Savage Insects Are as Nec essary as Rifles. . S. A. Thompson of North El.venth street, was "played up" as the subject of 4 feature article in the Sunday edi tion of the Indianapolis Star, Thompsona newspaper notoriety has follow edhls conference with President

ttooseveii relative to me uangers oMmeeting to be held this week, when

att African hunt. Thompson, who severa years ago, made an extensive tour through the heart of Venezuela and other South American countries fears for the safety of the president, irhe atempt to carry out his plan. The climatic conditions the president is expected to encounter will be practically the eame as those experienced by the Richmond man. The chief executive Is aftid to be deeply Interested in what Thompson had to say. Must Fight Insects. Articles with which to combat the Insects are needed as badly as heavy rifles with which to shoot game, according to Mr. Thompson, when a troplcal hunt is undertaken. Speaking upon' the subject of insects, he has the following to say: "The first thing to be considered is the; mosquitoes, of which there are max ufflswai vr.i. .iUu, aa explorer who wrote of conditions in tjuiana. said mere were iweive variettes of mosquitoes and that each variety waa on duty two hours of the day sc' (sat by the difference in tne noise maue Dy inem ne coum approumaw theVhour of the day or night without reference to a time piece, mere is I one. kind the bite of which.; can not be. felt, and another that stabs like a knife. Some of these mosquitoes carry germs of malaria and yellow fever, In starting into a forest if you can not take Woth a mosquito net and food, take the net for without it onewouid soon need no food, r Without regard to 'the- germ that may be carried; by the mcsquito, the irritation of its sting will produce a feverish condition. Ants Are" Dangerous. 'However, it is with the ants that the traveler in South America has to deal very largely and no doubt the same is true in Africa. There are many varieties, but four of which are. worthy of special notice. . These are the white, red, black and parasol ants. The white ants are destructive to paper and wood and no furniture, no wooden trunks r paeiung cases, no ecoras, maps or books are safe from them unless en cased in metal. The red ants are very much the size of the local variety and are known to the Spaniards as fuego citos (little fires) for the reason that while they do not bite or stingy they deposit a drop of acid on the skin that bums to aa almost unbearable degree i' Fear - of . Black Ants., "Ot the black ants there Is greater fear than of any animal or reptile there. It has both powerful jaws and a ' Sting, . and it is - a common saying In- South America that to be stung by one is certain death in twenty-four hours. This Is no doubt true of the Venezuelans, but experienced; travelers from outside that country: familiar with methods of treatment, can com bat the effects successfully. One of the most wonderful things in I nature is the parasol ant which derleves its name from its leaf cutting habit. These ants organize their com munitles much on the orer of human society, and they have seven divisions of -.duty, . ranging from nurses to sol dlars. They build nests fifty feet in diameter and construct roads 'sixteen roads extending three-fourths of a mile Into the forest, over which they march in ranks six inches wide, the workers In';" the tenter, with a , single line- of soldiers on .the outside and a row of offlcers beyond these.

JV"e know that in, Shakespeare's day, say A. D. 1G00, sixpence a day was a fortune for any worklngmao, about the equivalent of 10 per annum. A century earlier, before the access to Amer ica was open to English explorers, one of the. Aniens of Warwickshire left an, annuity of 40 shillings per annum to a younger son, probably the poet a greatgrindunclez Then if sixpence a day would now, be the. equivalent of 20 shillings a week then 40 shillings pet annum would equate to 120 of present values.

THE MATCH IS FOR BLOOD The opening of the wrestling game for the year 1909 with a match be tween "Strangler Lewis" of St. Paul and "Big Bob" the Turk, at the Coli seum this evening promises '' to be largely attended. Probably the cause of this universal interest in the match is that both the contestants have an nounced that the "go" would be for blood. It is admitted that both men are rough and will use no parlor tactics in the match. It would be a disappointment to the crowd if such a parlor match was put on. Each contestant intends to do his best, for it means to the winner that he can wrestle In this city at least one more time. Both men are in the city and are predicting victory to their friends and supporters. Lewis is a stranger in this city but the followers of the wrestling sport are acquainted with him from press accounts of his exhibitions in other cites.

The locals won the first game and lost the other two and the total pin average by 15 points.

The Indianapolis . Star has the following account of - the game: The . crack Marion club bowling quintet nosed out the Richmond (Ind.) team yesterday in a , pretty match on the local club's, alleys by the narrow, margin of 12 pins, counting 2,686, while the visitors; .shattered 2,674 pins In . the three-game match. The visitors took to the strange run aways like ducks to water and had the local pin knights worried,, espec ially after the opening game.

Store Adv. COLLEGEMETBALL Many Teams Have Shown Up . - Strong In Recent Games. COLUMBIA HAS CRACK FIVE. Great Things Expected of Blue and Whits Combination Princeton Weak. Chicago, ! National "1 Champions, ' In Excel Unt Shsp Yale, Harvard. Despite the fact that there is no in tercollegiate league in the east, the game of basket ball occupies a more Important place in the curriculum of college athletics this winter than ever before. At Yale, Columbia and Penn sylvania. It is expected that very strong teams will be turned out to contend with the crack University of Chicago team for the national cham pionshlp, Chicago holding the title by virtue of last years - victory over Penn. . . While the honors in the east seem to be divided among the Yale, Columbia and Pennsylvania teams, there are many other strong fives to be reck oned with. Harvard, for instance, while playing only a restricted schedule of eight games, may surprise the Ells in the annual games between the two old rivals, as the crimson team has six veteran men to depend upon. The West Point cadets also have a strong aggregation on the floor, while Williams. Dartmouth, Penn State college, Brown, Georgetown, Cornell, Rochester and Syracuse are all to be reckoned with before the season's honors are decided. - Of the so called big six Princeton's team is the weakest and Is entirely out of the hunt, having been badly beaten several times this season. On the other hand, Cornell, one of last year's weaklings, has come back Strong. This season's five Is the best that has ever represented the Ithaca Institution. In Captain ; Crosby the Ithacans have one , of ths best ,ail around players the game has ever brought to light. He is a splendid shot and Cornell's niain offense. Whinery and Burd, two excellent guards, are the remaining veterans from last vear and with Crosbv eive Cornell a A nuceus for a splendid team. T , hag t OQt 8tronir Qaintet for tne Wg gam. Left from last year's gquad are Captaln Cushman, a very 8nifty plaj.eri and Frcd Murphy; the foothall piayerr both-' guards; Van eck tfae gtar center and la9t comea Carrlga the eh forward. The blue is also fortunate in having Strobridge of the freshman team of last, year to work with. The last named player is very fast and a clever shot. Pennsylvania has a veteran team on the floor, although the red and blue five may be weakened materially should Keinath be lost them on account of his football hurt. Keinath "is perhaps the greatest alt around basket ball player the college game has ever seen, but this season he will be r undoubtedly handicapped; as ha is forced to play with a dislocated shoulder and some minor Injuries received in old Penn's games with Cornell and Michigan on the gridiron last autumn.
