The Hatch experiment station of the
state college at Amherst has just issued
bulletin No. Al. which is on THE Habits.
FOOD and economic value of the American
toad The bulletin is the work of A. ii
kirkland. assistant entomologist to the
gypsy moth committee. Mr.. Kirkland has
devoted considerable time to the study of
the toad and embodies the results In the
bulletin. He finds that insects constitute
a per cent of the food of toad To show
the number of worms which a toad de-
stroys. he states that in the stomach of a
single toad were found ~ army worms. in
another "a gypsy moth caterpillars and in
q third Il tent caterpillars. He records an
experiment where in three hours time a
toad had consumed between 30 and 35 full
grown celery worms. He found by exami-
ration OF a large number Of toads that 81
per cent Of the insects II destroys are in
furious TO cultivated crops. CT in other
Ways obnoxious to man. A toad would de-
YOUR in the months of May June and July
$50 myrapods; 2.2OS sour bugs 36s We
Wis, and 1858 carab.dS. OF these 9.e,6 are
injurious insects and 36S are beneficial in
sects. Mr.. Kirkland then figures out tine
amount in dollars and cents which a toad
may be worth. Confining bis attention TO
but one element of the food. the cut worms.
and assuming that 10 per cent of these
insects would have been killed by the cara
bid beetles il still leaves LOSS cut
worms 10 the toads credit; and IL the
damage the cut worms would have caused
be estimated at l cent per worm a figure
which gardeners and tobacco growers will
probably consider d:Iulously low, it VIII
be seen II at toad might destroy cut
worms which would otherwise have des-
troyed crops to the extent of $19.SS.

Oldest American He'll.

From the ST. Louis Globe Democrat
In the Nashville exposition building which
is used Jointly for the displays made by
Mexico, Chile, and New Mexico in the
space allotted to the latter territory there
hangs a bell, battered, cracked and rust
ed With a6e-a bell which certainly, if it
could speak in language that We could
understand, would tell an interesting tale
1t was cast in the year 1549, and is I'M
doubleday the oldest bell en- the American
continent. its age being, will be SEEN
3iS years. Its birthplace was the town
or city of Grande Quivera, N. NJ, the re-
mains of this city, which was fiourishing
before Santa Fe had an existence betoken-
ing population of 10000 people The
Spanish priest Father Guerra superintend-
ed the casting of the bell, the metal IN
1t being taken from the Ritade
Cobre mines, and to this native metal
were aided gold and silver coins and
tewelry, ontributed by the devout people
of the city and neighborhood. Here the
bell hung and swung and called the faith
tie dread Apaches, the hereditary enemies
of the Pueblo or town Indians destroyed
the city and buried down the church. The
bell lay covered up in the ruins for IO3
years. and was then dug out and taken to
Socorro, wi ere 1t was placed in the belfry
Of the Church of San Miguel This cnurch
was also destroyed by the Indians in 1906,
but the town was soon rebuilt by a colony
from Beien: the bell was once more dug
from the ruins and rehung in the repaired
church, which stands to his day.

tropical Growth Being Cultivated
in the Pension Office.

AoPAS"A hclnx cultivated
In the Pension Office.
An effort is being made by number of
officials of the pension office to secure a
luxuriant tropical growth about the foun
tain which sprinklesi a fine jet of water in
the center of the pension office building
Some time ago e4rare pineapple plants
We're sent to Washington from Florida and
given a place about the basin of the foun-
tam. Lately Superintendent Saunders of
the Department Of agriculture added to
'hls collection several handsome specimens
vi phiiodendrons, pandadus and other hand
some tropical plants The superintendent
OF the botanical gardens has also promised
contribution to this collection and friends
OF officials living in Florida will shortly for
ward number of plants for the same pur-
pose. F
Among these plants will be specimens of
the pineapple about to flower, SO that If the
experiment of raising them in the court of
the pension office building is successful the
plant bearing the pineapple can be seen
by the clerks there from the time it flowers
until the fruit has rpened From Florida
will also come several orange trees
Before the summer is over it is expected
tnat the space about the fountain will be
gwen beautiful tropical appearance, and
II Is believed that the temperature and
other conditions to be found there will
be OF a character to permit of a handsome
development of all these rare plants
III uSHout the year. Chief Clerk Rayly
Col Hancock, chief of the stationery divi
sion, and Superin tendent Barnes are all
leading in this movement to beautify the
court OF the pension office building Since
s s,,,s movement o mem was begun it has been
suggested that the conditions of tempera-
lure, &c In nearly all the government
buildings in this city are such as to en-
courage healthy growth of tropical plants.
But little care would be reo1ired IN To
fart OF messengers or others to keep them
IN good condition. Their propagation at the
Department of Agriculture or in the bo
I'd gardens is matter of comparative
ly no expense to the government and ~
the desire to ornament public buildings
generally with such plants becomes wide
spread there is no reason why these build
l.ss shoulc not present very pleasing
appearance in the future
