Byron o. Clark, commissioner of ag-

TO the people of the Islands for carry

destroy the pest if it can be well start

on the subject:
Procure a tight box of any suitable

put therein about two or three inches
of fine sand or loose loamy soil, which
should be kept moist, but not wet.
Place the inoculated beetles on the
soil, together with those collected,
which it is desired to inoculate. If

this helps retain moisture and main
tain conditions most favorable for the
growth of the fungus. There should
be a close fitting cover provided for
the box, not only to keep the beetles
in, but also to prevent other insects
from destroying them, and also that
the proper conditions of moisture be
preserved, for the fungus will not in
crease readily except wnen these con-
ditions are present. When the beetles
become infected with the fungus it

THE wRECKING EXPEDITION.

The particulars furnished by the Navy
Department regarding the contract with
wrecking companies for the raising of the
Maine show that it is a great undertaking
perhaps the greatest of the kind on rec
ord. The Maine had displacement of 6,62
tons, so that the actual weight OF the ship
and her armament must have been about
5000 tons, more or less. The displacement
of ship must exceed its weight by safe
margin, otherwise the ship would not float.
The Maine is badly shattered, and not all of
her is under water, but the weight Of the
part that is sunk must be some thousands
of tons. The raising and handling of sucn
mass will be fine achievement of mod
ern mechanics. The expedition consists OF
three wrecking steamers, one iron barge
capable of carrying 1900 tons, two floating
derricks capable of lifting thirty tons and
26O tons, respectively, six skilled divers and
about ninety-five other employees. For the
services of this expensive plant the gov
ernment is to pay $S71 a day, with an addi-
tional payment of $500 day while the
largest of the floating derricks is employed
and a bonus OF 100000 if the companies sue
ceed in raising the ship and towing her to
New York. The government expressly re-
serves the right to terminate the contract
at any moment, thus stopping the per diem
expense, and this it would doubtless do if
it should become apparent that the results
had ceased to justify the outlay and that
there was no possibility of raising the ship.
There seems to be a consensus of opinion
among naval authorities and wrecking ex-
perts that the raising of the ship is en-
tireIy feasible, and it would have to be
gigantic obstacle, indeed, that would not be
overcome by the mechanical skill and ap-
pliances which will be brought to bear in
this case. That the contract for this great
undertaking should have been closed and
signed and some of the wrecking vessels
started for Havana within one week from
the time of the disaster is sufficient proof
of the promptness and energy with which
the government authorities acted.

WILD BULL ON A STEAMER.
1T Invades the Dining Room, and
TOsses Chairs and "a Man Skyward.

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-The Seguranca, of
the Ward line, was sent to Martins dock,
Brooklyn, to-day to unload it's cargo The
Seguranca had considerable excitement Of
it's own on board, of which the passengers,
in their eagernesS to tell of the Maine ex-
plosion, forgot about telling until to-day
This excitement was caused by Mexican
bull which terrorized passengers and crew
for half an hour, came near goring the
boatswain to death, and was finally lassoed
by the captain
The bull had been put on the main deck
with 800 other Mexican cattle. Thirty or
forty passengers were at dinner when the
bull suddenly appeared at a door on the
port side. There were no diners fortunately
on that side of the ship The bull just put
his horns under the end chair which was
secured to the floor He tore il loose and
tossed Ii over the table. There was a wild
stampede of passengers for the starboa' Z
doors. The bull kept tossing chairs until
he had disposed of eight. He also smashed
three or four big lamps.
The passengers reached the grand stair
case, from which they viewed further pro-
ceedings. The boatswain was less fortunate
with a snort rushed toward him with horns
down. Luckily a chair stood between. Up
went the bulls horns. and up to the ceiling
went the chair and the boatswain. When
he came down the bull charged nIm again.
but the boatSwain escaped, minus most OF
his clothing. An end to the rampage was
made by the bull being roped.
