Modern Naval Implements of War"
was the subject Of lecture delivered by
Irving M. Scott at the Grace Methodist
Episcopal Church on Twenty-first street
last evening.
Mr.. Scott stated that though England

Baltimore. Uncle Sam has beaten his
teacher, and to-day his warships whip

navigate the globe without taking ton of

regarding the making and the existence Of

only brief. in spite Of it's immense power.
Seventy full charges or 250 half charges

The processes of making armor plate
and of tempering the gun tube for 10

60 feet long the tube is subjected to the
most delicate processes. being plunged
into oil and examined by electric light and
even by microscopes to insure its being
perfect.
After drawing a comparison between
the Victory of 1905 and the unfortunate
Victoria. Mr.. Scott drew attention to the
fact that, in spite of the latter's vastly
superior size and the strength of her guns,
it would have been impossible to predict
her fate In actual warfare.
'There have only been two battles with
ironciads and we have no experience to
tell us their practical usefulness" he said.
Tho evolution of modern warfare, how
ever, has shown that number of small
guns rapidly fired do more damage than
the largest kind of guns"
The lecture concluded with an account

sary to allow him TO be born in Santa

younger brother in it.
As consequence his father, bruised and

tween life and death and his brother is

All this. however. bothers Patrick

gavly chattering with COMPANIONS in crime,
one would think that nothing more seri-
Gus than charge of drunkenness was
peuGipg against him. There is nothing
about his conduct to indicate that beat
ing his father over the head with n marble
slab caused him to be placed in Jail.
The assault on Monday evening was
worse than cruel, for there existed no
provOcation for its commission.
Young keenan, entered his home about
dusk, and, finding his brother preparing
the evening meal. began to abuse him.
Finally. going to the stove where some
food was being fried, he caught up the
frying-pan and hurled its contents squarely
into his brothers face. Then he proceeded
TO beat him with the pan.
His father, fearing that murder might
be committed, begged the wretch to stop:
but. instead of doing so. he caught up the
marbletop of a table and attacked the old
man.
With the first blow ne KIN ocked him over.
and then, standing over him, he proceeded
to deliver other blows. That he would
have killed the PROSTATE man is certain
had not the younger brother frightened
him off by rushing into the street and cry
ing for help.
When Patrick Keenan, was taken in
charge by Sergeant Bennett Of the Po-
trerO police he seemed as uncon cerneG as
though nothing Had happened. Instead Of
expressing regret for what he had done,

INSECTS ON ICE
The Orcus Chalybeus and
Her Mission.
AN ENEMY TO THE RED SCALE
Southern California Orange Growers
Discover a New Ally in Their
Warfare on the Scale Bug.

The Australian ladybug has found
nsw ally in her warfare upon the scale in
sects that prey unon the grange trees of
California. The new conner rs,oices IN
the classic name OF Orcus chalybeus. She
is better known among English-speaking
people as the stesl-cO ored ladybug. Her
predatory assaults are confined to the
destruction Of the red scale. The orange
growers had been fortunate in the imp0r-
taton of insects that attack the white
scale and the black scale. but until the
advent of the Orcus chalybeu they have
found no foe fit 10 cope with the red scale.
The orchardists of Los Angeles and
Orange counties are exceedingly jubilant
over the discovery made within the past
few days that this stee l-colored insect is
sapplng the vitality of that destructive
pest known as the red scale. For the past
year feeling of uncertainty has prevailed
as to whether this new bng would accom-
nounced it as worthless in this climate.
however valuab it may have been in
Australia. 1t was shipped to this port on
ice and for thirty days it was on cold stor
age. This period was passed on shipboard.
1t was not believed that the Orcus
chalybeus could survive the voyage across
the Pacific journeying in such fashion.
and therefore 1t was predicted that her
career of usefulness in attacking the red
scale would be confined to Australia.
For several days past Secretary Lelong
of the State Board of Horticulture has
been in the receipt of letters from Los
Angeles Orange-grOwers requesting him TO
take steps to protect the new parasite.
The discovery of its value as beneficial
predaceous insect had tempted owners of
orchards infested with the red scale to
swoop down upon the only COLONY Of the
Orcus chalybeus In Los Angeles County,
This colony was located in the Kercheval
orchard, and was exposed to the danger of
being stripped of its last steel-colored lady
bug. Pending the action of the State
Board of Horticulture the Board OF Super
visors of Los Angeles County have ap-
pointed an officer to repel the raiders and
thus allow the parasite to propagate and
multiply its species without interruption.
The Orcus chalybeus was brought to Cali
fornia from Australia last September by
Albert Koebee, the discOverer OF the We
dalla cardinals, who was sent to Australia
to collect and import into this State para
sites and predaceous insects. The Legis-
lature in 1891 made an appropriation OF
$4,000 to defray his expenses, his salary
being paid by the Department Of Agri-
culture. Professor Rochelle succeeded in
collecting about forty different species of
bugs which he brought 10 this country in
the hope that some of them would prove
to be enemies of the various scales attack
ing the orange and lemon trees OF this
State.
In Australia these insects are proved
upon by minute parasite and f0r that
reason they do not increase there so as to
