article upon two species of NyloteTus, the
one living i'll fir and the other in beech wood.
and setting forth that two distinct kinds
OF fungus arc connected with these two
sorts OF wood. A small fragment OF am
broSia, taken from the gallery OF any
species Of the timber beetles. II placed
on a glass slide with a drop of Elycerine.
and examined with an objective of mod
crate power is plainly seen to be a fungus
1t Will be found, however, that the DIFF
feTent kinds Of ambrosia fungi are con-
nccted with certain species of the beetles
irrespective of the sort of timber in which
the galleries are constructed So far as
tho cntomoIogists of the Department of
\ griculture have been able to determine tn.
food Of each species OF ambrosia beetles
is limited to a certain kind or ambrosia,
and only the most closely related species
lave the same food fungus
The experts believe that as a rule colonies
Of these beetles are found only in trees,
which before the attack began were sick
unto death with maIadies for which the
timber beetles were In no wise responsible
The defects in wood caused by the galleries
and the stains left by the beetles probably
entail more serious losses than their direct
attacks upon living trees The majority
of the species confine their depredations
To the sapwOOd of recently feled or dying
trees, hut some OF the species are capable
Of destroying for any useful purpose, cx-
cept for fuel, the timber OF the largest
trees Their borfngs penetrate the heart
wood in every direction.
These holes ard stains in the heartwood
Of lumber otherwise sound reduce it's grade
and its value in the market and render it
unfit for use where the full strength of the
material is required, as for example in
the framework of buildings and the con-
struCticn of wagons. agricultural iInpIe-
Tents. etc. But-for some other purposes.
as for furniture and insid finishing lumber,
it is not necessarily deteri0rated
The damage TO timber intended for use as
cask headings, staves, shingles and the like
is very serious. Cask makers frequently re-
pair the damage, when not too serious by
closing the holes with wooden pins. The
holes made by certain species of timber
beetles cannot be plugged, but in many
cases particular method of saving Is ca
pable of reducing the damage TO a mini
mum and OF effeCting a very considerable
saving IF material.
Ihe besC remedy Tor the havoc OF the
beetles Is by coating the trunks with den
drOlene or raupenleim. A light brushing or
spraying Of the bark with creosote or kero-
sene will accomplish the result deS red at
the beginning Of the attack
Valuable fruit trees which have suffered
injury from fire or frost cannot always
be protected in this way In cases Of this
character the holes must be plugged One
of the methods prescribed is to insert iron
wire as far as it will go, cut IL off and
leave the piece in the hole The inhabitants
of colonies thus imprisoned are unable to
extend their bonngs and inevitably perish.

The Department of Agriculture is much
interested in the subject OF timber-bonug
insects, and following closely upon the ar
tiCIe prepared by f. II. Chittenden on In
sect injury to Chestnut and Pine Trees i'll
MARYLAND, Virginiaand Neigh ghbonngSt y
an ahstr act OF which was printed in The
Times Friday, comes an article on Am
brosia Beetles of the United States,' by
II G. Hubbard, ,ofthe division of entomology
of the Department Of Agriculture.
The ofthedepartmenton this sub
ject is due to reports received from many
sections OF the United States that great
masses OF timber are being destroyed by
tue buprcSte1 and the scolytid bark-beetle.
EntomolUgist Hubbard uses the term,
"ambrosia beetle as a convenient one to
distinguish it from the true baTk-borers and
bark-eateTS, which push their galleries
deepl yintO the wood, and whfchfeed upOna
substance called ambrOda. SUperfiCially,
the resemblance between the two groups
is very close. They are small elongated
beetles, with compact cylindrical bodies,
short legs, and duh coloration Of varying
shades OF brown.
Although differences in structure exist,
these have not hitherto been considered Of
Importance enough to warrant their sepa-
ration into different families. The en-
frances 20 their galleries in the outer rind
of the trees are the same, and the deSigna-
tion ''shot-holes'' is descriptive of either
group. An examination of the galleries
into which these openings lead reveals at
once the widely different character of the
two groups.
The galleries of the bark-borers lie within
or just under the bark. The galleries Of
the Misunderstanding beetles penetrate into
the wood, and in all their ramifications are
of uniform size, and free from wood dust or
ether refuse. Their food consists. not of
wood, but of certain minute and juicy fungi,
propagated on the walls of their galleries.
The action of the fungus produces q stain
I'm the wood, giving to the galleries the
appearance of having been bored with
reti-hot wire. The female Of the ambrosia
beetle deposits her eggs loosely in the gal
leries, and the young and old live in the
same quarters.
The nature of the food of the timber
boring scolytidae has always been a mat
ter OF uncertainty Entomologists In the
early part of the century declared that the
food consists ola substance coming from the
wood, and elaborated by the mother beetle
to form a kind of ambroaa.
