There is something suspicious in the sudden
activity of certain members Of the Board OF
Aldermen in relation to a street railway project
which WAS first introduced long ago as FeDru-
orv and Il Is not strange that there should be
concurrent r,lmors Of DOODLE stakeholder. etc.
The circumstance that the terms Of Il number
ar these men end with the year throws some
LIGHT upon the matter. They are trying 10 I'M

good time for Loodle scheme Of any kind. and

tempter 10 get behind them.

looking over the records Of the Dock Depart
ment and find them in bad shape. There have
been numerous Irregularities, and considerable
sum has been lost to the city through careless
ness or collision on the part Of dockmasters.
This department will bear further investigation.
What Tammany Investigators have discovered
indicates that disclosures Of a startling char
acter might be brought to light by a legislative
inquiry. good many people would like 10
know for instance, why ANDY" White gave mp
a Police Justiceship at $1,000 for Il Dock Com
missionershp at $1,000. The mere fact that he
did so shows that the searchlight should be
turned full upon this department.
II Is rather late in the day to take steps for
the removal Of Park Commissioners Clausen and
Tappen. but there Is abundant justification for
the demand put forward by the wellknown men
who have sent letter to the Mayor on the sub
ject. These men are mostly artists and archi-
tcc,s. and they have Il substantial grievance in
the way in which the Speedway matter has been
mismanaged. Mayor Gilroy says that his term
is too near its close for him 10 proceed against
Clausen and Tappen; but. fortunately the pros
poet Is bright that Mayor Strong will have an
early opportunity to dismiss these and other
Tammany officials who have been faithless to
their trusts. Mayor Gilroy might wisely put on
record bis emphatic protest against the vandal-

New Injurious INSECTS.

In an chronological resume OF the
Agricultural Department 1t Is stated
that farmers make great mistake
when they shut their eyes to the advent
of new and hitherto unknown insects,
andregard the so-called bug hunter rs q
useless simplcton. EQr instance. the
sugar-beet web worm is an enemy that
should be promptly dealt with. This
newcomer Is moth which appears in
great numbers in July, laying Its eggs
on the leaves, which are eaten by the
young larvae to such an extent as to
kill the plants. The remedies suggest
ed, after careful study of the insects
habits, are the deep blowing Of the soil
80 as to bury the immature insects ana
the narrowing of the land to expose
them to their natural enemies, quail,
meadow larks and other birds, as we'll
as mice and many small quadrupeds,
which devOur them In great numbers.
But the most effective means is the
spraying Of the leaves with paris green
in water, which should be done late in
June or early In July. AS this pest ap-
peared only for the first time in 1892,
1t is most likely that it will soon spread
to other localities and, as the common
rule Is, attack other plants. Another
destructive insect described Is the
cherrytree tortrix, which defoliatey
the tree and constructs nests in the
form of webs completely around and
entirely enveloping the tree. Spraying.
the trees is the remedy suggested. Inc
appearance of the Colorado beetle In
the far south shows the hardness Of
this persistent insect, which is,not sup
posed to be able to Withstand the heat
8of. q southern summer; but ttea change
Of habits in many insects Is one OF the
things learned by entomOlog ists, and
this is to be taken, into account BY
southern farmers. It is suggested that
as.in India castor-oil plants are grown
in the houses as remedy against the
Astounding mosquito, this simple rene
dy might be tried in America. 1t is rec
commended to grow the plants in pots
out of doors, as they love the sun, and
bring a few thus grown into the house
for g few days at time. 1t is said
that If only dozen leaves Of this plant
are brought into room and hung up
the swarming insects will quickly dis
appear, and no more will enter as long
as the leaves remain.

Infant Life.

DR.. III. r. Jones gives some sugges-
tive details Of the perils and protection
of infant life in England. He finds
that the chief causes of excessive in
FAINT mortality are found to depend
upon ante-natal conditions Qeading to
death from developmental diseases and
hereditary diseases), insanitary condi-
tlons Qncluding overcrowding), condu-
Give to excessive mortality from zy-
motto and lung diseases; social circum-
stances poverty, ignorance. employ
ment Of women in industrial occupa-
tons, etc.,, leading to neglest and con-
sequcntly excessive mortality from
diarrhoea, commissions and infantile
atrophy, and willful neglect and crime.
Deaths from suffocat ioi in bed were
found to have definite relation to
intemperance. BY far the largest num-
Der lover % per cent? occurred during
Saturday night, and on that night about
35 per cent Of all the apprehensions for
drunkenness took place. DR.. Jones also
enters Oh the question of child insur-
ance. Contrary to the general opinion
held, his experience was that child in
surance could not be connected with
willful neglect in any large number Of
cases; but there Wns no doubt that the
majority of the children Of the indus
trial classes In urban districts were In.
sured. Prevention of excessive NOR
tality and efficient protection of young
children were very difficult. Reliance
must be placed on improvement In gen.
