1t is not singular there should be some
entries on the other side OF the &C
count. The incursions Of the gypsy
moth are directly traceable to the un-
fortunate curiosity Of French scien-
fist, who made his home more than
twenty years ago in Medford, Mas
sachusetts.
This Frenchmen busted himself
with experiments with silk worms.
He was DESTROYS TO find out whether
there were any other species Of in
sect which could be cultivated, from
whose cocoon the thread could be I'M
wound directly by machinery better
than can be the thread Of the cocoon
of the silkworm.
To facilitate these experiments he
had sent to him from France speci-
mems Of several species OF insects,
among which he hoped to find sulI-
stitute for the silkworm. With the
rest he received Ocneria dispar, or
the gipsy-moth.
He experimental with his insects
upon trees under netting, but through
some accident the netting was broken
and the moths escaped. When he
communicated his los to the towns
people, it made little impression
upon them; but after several years
the foliage on the shade trees In
Medford began to disappear as il by
magic. Trees that were delight to
look upon one day were completely
stripped the next.
The pest spread, slowly, but sys-
tematically, until most of the towns
and cities in Northwestern Massachu-
sets were visited and great havoc was
wrought TO vegetation. Then came
investigation, an organized movement
for determination, commission APP
pointed by order Of the Legislature,
and large appropriations to carry on
the warfare
In France, it seems, there is a
parasite which preys upon the moth
and holds its destructiveness in
check; but the inQuisltive Medford
Frenchman neglected to import the
parasite, SO that the girsy-moth was
permitted TO ravage undisturbed un-
