THE GYPSY MOTH.
How a Frenchman introduced it into
Massachusetts.

The Aggressive Warfare Made Upon 1t by
the state-Though Not DIFFERENTIATED
Its Ravages Have Been Checked.
Quite a number of very troublesome
bugs. says the Washington Star, have
been imported into this country from
abroad, but none of them has excited
more attention and caused more alarm
than the socalled gypsy moth. Insects
of this species are particularly destruc-
tive to shade trees, and the progeny of
a-single pair of them settled in Washing
ton. if not interfered with. would in the
course of few years strip our parks and
streets of every green leaf. Disgusting
caterpillars as big as ones little finger
would he spinning down from the
branches upon the heads OF pedestrians,
and the decay of dead myriads of the
creatures would be literally stencil in
the nostrils of the people. Great armies
of them would be seen marching along
the avenues, and the worms would have
to be swept up and carried off in carts.
Another season the air would be filled
with futtering moths Matched from the
bodies of the caterpillars.
That the national capital is not already
threatened with such plague is cause
for thanks, which are due to the en-
lightened efforts..of the State of Massa-
chusetts. That commonwealth has been
contending with the gypsy moth for
some years past and has finally succeeded
in getting the better OF it after war
ing. The insects, which were spreading
rapidly over the State and promising to
extend their ravages to all parts of the
Union. have been reduced to a compare
lively few, and the survivors are now re-
stricted to a small extent of territory.
They cannot be wholly exterminated in
certain areas of dense woodland, but
they are held in check. This result has
only been accomplished by the expendi-
ture of enormous sums of money.
THE GRAY MOTHS ADVENT.
Great troubles arise from small causes.
The plague of the gypsy moth is wholly
attributable to Frenchman named
Trouvelot, who lived twenty years ago in
the town of Maiden, Mass He was en-
gagged at that time in experimenting
with native caterpillars of various
species, in the hope that one or more of
them might be found to spin silk and
serve as a substitute for the silkworm
With this end in view he reared many
M
transformed and went through the sue
cessive stages of their being. At length
having exhausted the available supply
of American caterpillars, he sent abroad
for European species. These he import
ed in the shape OF cocoons. Among them
arrived batch of gypsy moth cocoons,
and from these M. Trouvelot succeeded
in obtaining fine and healthy moths.
They laid their eggs and died. 1t was
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1894-12-22

900 was made to continue the work, and
in 1898 $4,000 more was given. The
labor attempted was gigantic. A terri
tory of 400 square miles had to be care
fully examined eachsyear. In this region
were $4,000 acres of woodland, contain
ing more than 5000, 900 trees, besides I'M
dergrowth. The advisabilty of burning
these woods was seriously discussed.
Elsewhere lin the infested tract men
visited every tree every other day, pick
ing off and destroying worms. cocoons
and egg masses. The thick und erbrush
was sprayed with PARIS green. Cocoons
were collected and placed in barrels
covered over with gauze. The object OF
this was to prevent the escape OF the
gypsy moths, while the parasites that
prey upon them were permitted to get
away. 1t is impossible to say how much
good was done by this means
The present condition OF affaias is that
the infested territory has been reduced
to fifty square miles, and withdn that
lively rare. Whereas man engaged in
the work of collecting used to secure
thousands in a morning, he nDw gets
only few scores. In the virgin forests
of Middelsex Fells the moth still. breeds
undisturbed, and will continue ~, do so.
It can only be got rid of by destroying
the woods. Meanwhile Massse husetts
must appropriate $500 to S5o,'000 per
annum eight along, in order to prevent
the pest from developing again into
plague. as it is ready at any time to do.
If the moth should extend its range into
the Southern States, it would be FAR
more destructive there than in. Massa-
chuserts, the number of broods produced
annually being greater in the Icing sum-
mer of a low latitude.

and humiliation:

took place in the drawingroom, but, getting

laughed heartily; but begged Mr.. Thacek-
ray not to tell anyone, especially his mother,
that had tasted the chill.
He promised, saying: ut will be our little

the grimace l had made when burned by
the Indian product, Mr.. ThackeIay kept his
word.
