Disturbing Nature $ Balance.

The great an,! growing cost Of the
attempts in Massachusetts to cxtcr- |
inmate the gypsy moth shows how
serious may be the consequences to |
"the balance Of nature by the intro |
duction Of foreign insects or animals.
\ few of these moths were imported
some years ago by an cntomologist re
siding near Boston, says the New
York Times. Several Of the captivcs
escaped from custody, and the State
has spent $3.50, 900 in the last four
years in vain attempt to cxtcrminatc
their descendants. 1t is now csti-
mated that ut least 81 $40, 900 will be
required, and that the appropriation
for five years to come should be $780,
600 per annum. On the other hand.
perpetual appropriation Of 100000
per annum would serve to confnc the
moths to the districts in which they
arc now found. The problem rcsem-
bles that which has taxed the resour-
ces Of the Australian colonies since
the progeny Of half dozen rabbits,
imported from England, became so nu-
mcrous that the maintenance of agri-
cultural industries was menaccd by
their depreciation
Australia has expended millions in
rabbit-proof fences and devices for
killing off the rabbits. But, although
psychologists have endeavored to re-
move them by disseminating the germs
of fatal disease, the colonists have
thus far been able to do no more than
to hold the animals in check. In
Florida several rivers have recently
become choked by the rapid growth of
a kind of hyacinth imported few
years ago, and considerable expendi-
lures will be required to keep the
streams open for navigation. An i'm
ported insect called the black scale
menaccd the fruit industry in Cali
fornia until the State procured from
Australia and introduced in the or
chards little beetle which ate the
obnoxious insects, and thus brought
relief
These and other instances which
might be cited show that the utmost
caution should be observed with re-
spcct to the introduction into any
country Of insects or plants for which
nature has made no preparation there,
and the growth Of which may not be
restrained by natural enemies and
checks with which they must contend
in the countries from which they are
brought. --Sciemtifc Amcricum.
