Exposition. —Se COMMERCIAL in "TNS CHARACTER Description of Some of the More Interesting, Features. PRIZES TO WASHINGTONIANS —__+__— Prof, Thomas Wilson of the Smithsonian Institution, who represented this country at the Brussels international exposition, has returned to Washington. Prof. Wilson left here in August and returned two days ago. He was much delighted with the ex- position, which began May 10 and will end November 7. Prof. Wilson was at one time United States consul to Ghent, Belgium, and was, therefore, peculiarly well fitted for the duty assigned to him. The exposition was almost entirely of a commercial character, and was such as to be seen, he said, without tiring one’s self, as it was not near so large or varied as the world’s fair at Chicago. The Brussels ex- position was en international one, in which. twenty-seven or more countries were rep- resented. Many of the representatives were diplomatic officials at the court of Belgium or consulor representatives. The more important countries, however, were represented by special _ commissioners. Among these were the United States. ‘The exhibit of the. United States, Prof. Wilson said, while not to be compared with what it might have been, con: appropriation, which was only excellent. Of the tw: seven countries represented those having better or larger exhibitions of valué than this country were France, Germany, Gréat Britain, laty, Switzerland and Austria. He said. “The expositicn was. essentially a com- mercial one: In regard to the exhibits of fine arts, the United States had none at is ta & Seger was all. Its principal di nd those where- ex e ere among the typewriters, ing machines, c: i &c. The exhibit in regard to t of tan- ‘as especially suc- cessful. There was a special prize for beer manufactured by an American firm. “The best display, probably, was in ma- chine tools of precision, they being of a high standard The latter received two grand prizes, two diplomas of honor and a large number of gold medals. King Leopold's Graciousness. “The distribution of the records of prizes was on Wednesday, Oct. 20, and took place in the Salle de Fete of the exposition. King Leopold presided, with the royal fam- ily in a loge. His ministers were present, representatives of foreign countries, the commissioner generals from the various countries ard others. A speech was made by Minister of Agriculture Nyssens. ‘The arnouncement of the number of exhibitors and prizes awatéed~to each country was made by Count ‘A. d’Oultremont. The rep- resentatives of the different countries were called upon in person to receive the records of the awards, whicit were bound in hand- some volumes. Each commissioner general presented himself before the king, and was addressed an his own language by Leopold. He uses excellent English. He addressed me in'a few chosen words, stat- ing that he was"pledsed to tender me, and through me, my countrymen his thanks for the most excellent and interesting dis- play which had been made. This dis play, he stated, Was all the better when it was taken into*consideration the dis: tance it had 'toi’be transported across th ocean and the limited appropriation avail- able.

An Interesting Display. “One of the most interesting displays, which was really an adjunct to the exposi- ticn, was what was known as the Congolese exhibit, in Teruerin Park, gdjacent to the exposition This was intended to represent the extent of the country’s colonies in the Ccngo country, and was similar to that part of the Madrid exposition given over to the Philippine Islands.

They were divided into three different tribes: Mayombe, Congo and the Bangala. They were shown in. all their different costumes, customs an@ habits. A railway connetted the exposition grounds with the park, and attracted thousands. Some of the natives were grganized into bands of music, which was ap added attraction. A conquest of the Congo was a most popular nicve on the part of the King of Belgium, who fitted out the ships that went down there himself. It was brought about by the increasing idea of adding foreign posses- sions to their countries which seemed to pervade several of the European siations some time ago. Proluactive of Good. “To sum up, the exposition represented the benefit received by that country, given it from an extension of the knowledge of its commerce ang .manufactures, and in- crease the intimate gelations existing be- tween the commercial people of the differ- ent countries. J think it may fairly be said that the exqosition has been product- ive of a large amouns.ot good. It has pro- cured in Belgium not a few commercial houses willing 10 handle American pro- ducts. This has beensbrought about by the several expositians...I notice this increase Particularly sitice the time I was in Bel- gium, about fifteen Years ago, as consul.

Quarter of 2 Million Bashels of In- sects Destroyed. s From the London Times. The visitation of Algeria by lo year was of an extraordinary character. From the last report of the British consul general, who describes the phenomenon in detail, it seems that Algeria was visited twice during the year, the first flight ap- pearing in the winter as far north as the Mediterranean coast, and a second one, which was normal, in the spring and early summer. There is no record of any flight such as the early one in the history of Al- geria, and as they appeared so early it was believed they were sterile; but the females began to lay in the usual way, only several months too soon. But in place of being hatched out in the usual period, they took more than twice as long, which seems to be something wholly new and unexpected in the life history of locusts. The appearance of the insect so far north as the Mediter- ranean in midwinter is believed to be due to the drought which in the previous year devastated the southern districts and the Morocco Sahara. There being no vegeta. tion in the Sahara, the locusts were forced to leave the grounds where they spend the winter, and, without making the usual halts, to hurry forward to places where food was obtainable. This unexpected visi- tation was met by exceptional exertions on the part of the government, the local au- thorities, and trade committees. Oran, the province adjoining Morocco, was the only one invaded. The area over which the eggs were laid is estimated at 424,500 acres, and 270,120 bushels of young locusts were de- stroyed. These are below the real figures, for in many fresh grounds no estimate was made of the area covered. The barriers, or lines of defense, made of the Cyprus appa- ratus, or of zine, extended over 322 miles, while 27,113 ditches were dug at the foot of these to catch the young locusts. The ef- forts of the defenders were devoted mainly to saving the crops which were most valu- able, such as the vines. In this they were successful, for the yield from the vine- yards underwent no diminution. The rav- ages of the locusts mainly affected cereals. The damage is estimated at over £50,000.
