GAY-COLORED BUTTERFLIES ARE FED ON STRAINED HONEY London, Aug. -Not the gross eating of the carnivorous animals, but the dainty feeding of the butterflies, today attracts many people to the Zoological Gardens, at least those people who appreciate what has been pronounced the prettiest sight in the zoo. There could be no greater contrast than that afforded by a lion or tiger snarling over a mess of flesh and bones and a fight of beautiful butterflies sipping honey.

Every hour when the sun shines Miss Cheesman, Curatrix of Insects, enters the spacious butterfly cage at the zoo and regales her charges, hundreds of peacocks, tortoise-shells, brimstones, greenveined whites, and other butterflies galore, on diluted honey. There are plenty of flowers in the enclosure but artificial is necessary, for not feeding, provide sufficient nectar for the thirsty insects, and they are 80 quickly fertilized by the frequent visits of the butterflies that they soon turn to seed. On entering the cage with the mixture Miss Cheesman is mobbed the hovering throug-like a donor of cakes and sweets at a picnic of school children -the gaily hued insects tling all over her and assembling in a group upon the honeyThe scene at such a time suggests an animated kaleidoscope or some fairy spectacle.

The Turkestan economic council decided to remove all regulations and previous decrees which restrained trade and commerce and to retain control only of a very few "key industries." Turkestan is normally one of the largest cotton growing regions world. The decision came as a result of two factors--first, the unprofitableness of government controlled industries, and second, the unrest among the population due to the revolt against the Soviet regime which is being led in Bokhara by Enver Pasha formerly commander-in-chief of the Turkish armies. Cotton growing has Increased greatly during the, past few years.

The pre-war area sown with cotton in Russian middle Asia was nearly 400,000 dessatines. In 1921 about 100,000 dessatines were sown, and this year, in Turkestan, without Bokhara and Khiva, where the Enver Pasha revolt is stronger than in Turkestan, only 63,000 dessatines were sown. This is expected to yield about 45,000 tons of cotton. To trans. port this to the Russian factories about 20 trillion Soviet will be required by the Turkestan cotton committee.

The state bank has assigned only one trillion, and though ten trillian more are to be forthcoming, much of this cotton will remain in Turkestan unless private enterprise moves it. The railway conditiions are also unfavorable for its transport. Experience of California auto stage operators has shown that mileage operating costs range from 18 to 20 cents.

Hilmi Pasha deposed ex- of Egypt, who has been in exile ever since the beginning of Great War is destined to spend the rest of his days outside the boundaries of his native land, if the decree depriving him of all rights in his native land is carried out. A law signed by King Fuad I and countersigned by every member of the Egyptian Ministry, has been promulgated, restricting in various respects the ex-Khedive's political, as well as social rights. The preamble of the law sets forth the necessity that the en by the British military authorimeasures, ties under marshal law be sanctioned. These measures included the deposition of the ex-Khedive and the sale of part of his property. Some of the provisions of the law are: (1) Abbas Hilmi is not either pA sonally or by intermediary, to exercise in Egypt any political rights, to possess or acquire any title to any property, real or personal, to be designated as the benificiary of any Wakf or to collect any sum of money for same.

(3) All the remaining property of ex-Khedive is to be sold by the public custodian and the net balance of the liquidation which would be balanced after payment of, or provisions for outstanding liabilities, is to be placed as his disposall. (3) Egyptian territory is forbidden to the Khedive. Should he contravene this law, he will be condueted immediately to the frontier under the direction of the executives.

Mail)-Statements made by proponents of the Hawaiian Labor relief bill now before Congres, at a hearing in Washington before the Senate Immigration Committee that Japanese are attempting to. obtain economic and poitical control of these islands "are, grossly exaggerated if not wholly according to an official statement issued by the Japanese Society of Hawaii.

"Any is familiar with the actual situation will say that those charges are ly fantastic fears without reasonable foundations. also wish to take exception to the statement that the Japanese in Hawaii can not be assimilated.

Many facts show how the Japanese in Hawail are making efforts toward Americanization of their people with the co-operation of American friends. The Japanese Language School bill recommended by the Japansee themselves aimed at the co-operation of Japanese citizens with the Americans to educate the American youths of Japanese ancestry, in accordance with American ideals. "Especinly are the Americans of Japanese ancestry gradually but solidly bearing the fruits of canization. A large number of them are already quite familiar with the American way of living.
