inquiry Of n Star Reader Answered
by Mr.. Chittenden.
A letter has been received by The Star
from a lady in which she inquiries as fol-
lows:
please ind inclosed an insect and leaf
taken from my sunset rose BUSH Can you
tell me how to get rid of the pest? / no
tice that some one else was inQuiring a
few days ago about the same thing
Truly yours. Mrs. G. F. NJ,
'.Old subscriber of The Star
The leaf and insect were shown to F. H.
Chittenden, acting antomologist in charge
at the Agricultural Department He said:
The leaves were probably mutilated by
the inclosed insect, which Is called the
tree cricket. and also of what is known
eS the leaf cutter bee This is of the same
size as the honey bee and of the same ap-
pearance- 1t clips circular holes out OF
rose leaves with which to construct its
nest. The other holes are due to the work
Of the tree cricket (orocharis saltator uhier).
1T is the species formerly known as the
oecanthus latipenni5, a name given by the
late DR.. Riley, chief of the division of anto-
mology of the Agricultural Department IL
Is also probable that the leaves of the rose
bush were damaged by some species OF
caterpillars.
ITO get rid Of the insects Paris green
should be sprinkled on the leaves by means
OF a spray. Not much injury is done to
the plant itself by these insects, but. of
course. the beauty of the bush is de-
stroyed.''

BOY DISAPPEARS.

An Attache of Merlin's Show Quietly
Steals Away.
When Merlin's show disbanded in this
city yesterday afternoon and the tents
were folded one of the trick bicycle riders
Victor Livingston, fifteen years old, dis
appeared, and last night his father c. H
Livingston. called at police headquarters
and asked the police to make a search
for him. The boy was not found last
night, and this morning the father renewed
the request.
Mr.. Livingston is a resident of St Louis
and is here stopping at Cobbs Hotel When
he was anxious to return home, and natur-
ally wanted to take his boy with him.
Search was made Of the grounds, but Vic
tor was not there. All his father could
ascertain was that the boy had goneSAway
with Jack" the wild west" man of the
show. In reporting the case to the police
Mr.. Livingston said he feared the boy s
ideas. and that he had concluded to make
Jack his companion for a western tour
The boy had a small amount of money,
probably less than SO, when he went
away. The man. Jack has long black
hair and sometimes sells salve from a
small brown satchel, which he carries
with him.
Mr.. Livingston received word today that
the son and his long-haired companion
had been seen in Georgetown, and he
thought they might possibly have crossed
the river last night and started to tramp
through Virginia. The police of the sew
eral precincts are on the lookout, and ii
found the boy will be arrested as fugitive
from his parents.
