REPORT ON DISEASES AFFECTING THE
SUGAR-CANE IN BARBADOS.
Continued from Avis No. 43.
by G. A. Barbsr..)

OF bOrers, l had plenty of opportunity Of
seeing all three of the common West Indian
ones-the moth. weevil and shot-borerS. [
regret to say that iii Barbados. with its
great advantages in the study Of sugar-cane
pests, no interest appears to be taken in
these borerS. The improved idea, that the
fungus precedes the shot bbrer Of necessity,
has caused all interest in the latter pests to
cease and the feeling that we know a great
deal about The moth-ttorer seems to have
obscured the fact that there is Il very great
deal still to be learnt concerning it. AS |
pointed ont before, in one observation OF 100
cases of lind fungtts attacking Bourbon canes
l saw no one in which fungus stain was not
immediately in the neighbourhood of a bor-
Ell hole. usually the moth borer. Now
everybody admits that the latter will attack
perfectly healthy canes. The grub is by
no means sensitive to the periphery of the
cane, as | have myself seen one actual
ly penetrate a thick layer of p%araffin
to get III to the end of a piece Of
cane. 1t is therefore reasonable to sup
pose that the grub is not attracted to
the cane by the fungus. 1t is in fact almost
certain that it enters the cane first. The
fungus we learn from Mr.. Massee does not
enter old sound canes, but that any exposed

Tho Goddess of Smallpox.

a striking account of the Difficult
ties attending Oh the attempt to extend
the practice Of vaccination in India is
given by Surgeon General Sir William
Moore. The chief obstacle is supersti-
tious prejudice. The population firmly
believe variola to be matter under the
control of the goddess ''Mata, " in whose
honor temples abound and fairs are held,
where thousands of women and chill
dren attend with offerings. The decliv
tiles of most OF the numerous con1cal
hills present either Redeemed stone or
temple devoted TO ''Mata, with most
probably an attendant Brahman priest.
Nearly every village has its goddess
of smallpox in the Immediate locality.
and in many places a largo piece OF
ground is esteemed holy and dedicated
Il, ''Mata" The people do not pray TO
escape the affection, unless in seasons
when it occurs with more than ordinary
virulence. They do, however, petition
for mild visitation but even the loss
of an eye does not appear TO be viewed
as a very serious calamity.
lis there not another eye sufficient for
all purposcs?' questioned one OF these
stoical philosophers. IF it were the leg
or hand, it would be different, but an eye
is immaterial. Notes and Queries.
