BILE They Were Planning For.

BILE They Were Planning For.
GRAND FORKS. n. D.. Aug. 5.-Prof. Otto Lug
ger. Minnesota State entomologist. who was
sent to Investigate threatened ravages Of the
army worm. said that the worm swooped down
upon Kittson county. prepared to dsvour
everything in sight and would undoubtedly
have done so but for a parasite. He went to a
field where the worm had already com m enced
operat ions. and in digging up n little piece OF
earth less than foot square, found ut least
100 OF these pests.
He submitted q number OF specimens to
microscopic examinations. Upon nearly every
ono OF the worms a small parasite. 40 small
that II could not be distinguished with the
naked eye. had fastened itself and was slowly
eating out tho worms life. Prof. Lugger went
to the County Commissioners. who were In
session prepared to do what they could to pre-
vent the ravages OF the pest. and told them
they need give themselves no further trouble.
Nature had TAX en- the matter out Of their hands.
They were inrredulous. especially when he
told them that inside OF three days there would
not be q live army worm in the whole North
west.
such has proved tho case. The next day he
made another examination and found at least
30 per cent. OF the worms had already sue
cumbed to the inevitable. and yesterday after
noon As per cent. more died To-day not one
OF them Is to be found alive.

TO KEEP snIrs FROM SINKING.
but In Case the Invent'on Falls In This II
VIII Raise the Ship Anyway.


An English mechanical genius has devised
a method OF indicating and stopping leak by
into air tight Compartments. fitted with doors
provided with packing material and connected
BY tubes with a room on deck cd the
',swtch-room." In. this room Is a junction
chest supplied with compressed air from
fixed or portable compressofs, and so ar
ranged that the air can be delivered to any OF
the compartments. Other tubes load from the
compartment from which water can be forced
out when required. anu electr ic indicators are
also connected with tho switch room to indi-
cate the accumulation OF water in any Of the
Compartments Should the vessel Spring a
leak" the indicator will show which compart-
ment is affected. so that the compressed air
may be forced in to drive the water out.
The invention also includes the means for
indicating the position OF a sunksn ship. this
being ACCOMPLISHED by means Of q buoy con;
a diver can descend and connect the junction
chest with the various COMPARTMENTS so that
by supplying compressed air tho water wi
bs elected and the vessel noated. Other OBJ
lects Of the invention are the prevention OF
fire and means for extinguishing the same,
and also for ventilating the cargo.
