Economic Zoology in Pennsyl-
Vania.

'
the importance of work in this sub
ject is not understood. To define
the term Zoology is The ,Iudy OF
animals, their structure, III, habits,
etc, and Economic Zoology is the
application ot these facts 20 man, to
aid him in protecting himself ant,
his crops trom their injuries, or, in
the case of domestic animals, to as
sist him in giving them proper care,
and protecting them from injury.
The estimated value of farm prv-
ducts in Pennsylvania in 1889
nearly ten years ago-was over
Sl20, 900, and of market garden
and fruits, 81 100000. The value
of the fruit crop, apparently, has
never been estimated, but it is at
least worth Sj,C0O,OO0 each year.
Thus we have agricultural products
valued at not far from Sl30, 1000, 200
produced each year in Pennsylvania,
and every kind of product is attack
ed and injured in VARYING amount
by different animals.
1t is impossible to give figures
showing the value of the live stock
Of this Commonwealth at the pres
cnt time, as recent estimates are not
available. But the horses. cattle,
sheep, swine and poultry of the
Stare are valued at over $4,000,
600, and much loss in these lines is
met with each year as the result of
the attacks of other animals.
How much is lost bv tie attacks
of injurious animals, chiefly insects,
is difficult to determine. Several
attempts have, however, been made
To estimate the loss, and it is hclicv-
cd to be at least onr-tcnth of the
amount actually produced. IF this
be correct and those who have most
studied the subject believe it to be

The above is an astonishing cs-
timate to one who has never looked
into the subject, aud one hardly to
be believed possible. The reason tor
this skepticism however is plain. A
year in which this loss has never oc-
CURED has never been known, and
hence we have no standard of an in
sect-free year to compare others by.
Let the loss on any crop rise from
10 per cent. TO 20 per cent, how
ever, and the outcry is great. The
average loss is anticipated, or at
least we are resigned to it; at the
exceptional loss, we rebel.
To prevent this loss, or as much
Of it as possible, is the work of the
Economic Zoologist. He must be
familiar with the lives of the injuri-
Gus animals, their ways, when, how,
and where they do their injuries,
and what methods to pursue to pre-
vent, or, as far as possible, to repair
their damages. In the majority of
cases this can be easily done, and at
a slight cost, as compared with the
amount of saving which results.
Other states have long recognized

Miss Winnie Davis, the Daughter OF
the Confederacy," was born in the con-
federate executive mansion at Richmond,
Va, in 1868. She was educated principally
MT home, owing to the trouble surround

secured for him by his daughter. Her

ENDS IT'S WORK.
Puerto Ricnn Commission Compile ties
the ARRANGEMENTS for Span
ish Evacuation.

San Juan, Sept. 1o.---The work of
the military commission is practically
over, all arrangements for the evacu-
alton by the Spanish troops and the
receipt of government property having
been determined upon. Admiral Schley
says that if there were transports here
for the embarkation of the troops the
commission could leave for home within
a week. He thinks a military govern
ment will be established here within a
month. The commission has simply de-
manded the immediate evacuation of
the island and possession of all tangible
government property. These demands
have been frankly conceded by the
Spanish commission. so that while the
meetings of the commissions will con-
tinue for the purpose of winding up
the details there is nothing of impor-
lance left TO be done. The attitude of
the American commission has offended
some Puerto Ricans, who think the
Americans have not demanded enough.
They have insisted they should claim
the sum of 100000 alleged to be in the
bank here belonging to the govern
ment. The Puerto Ricans maintain
that the money was raised by the island,
hence it should not be taken to Spain.

Narragansett Pier, II. l., Sept. 49,
Miss Winnie Davis, daughter of Mrs.
Jefferson Davis, died at noon Sunday
at the Rockingham hotel, to which
place she came as guest in the early
part of the Piers social season. She
had been i'll for several weeks and u
fortnight ago her ailment was dag
nosed as malarial gastritis. At times
her condition became very serious, so
that consultations of physicians were
deemed necessary, but frequent rallies
gave renewed hope that she would
ultimately recover. During the past
week especially was her condition con-
sidered favorable and ii was thought
that her removal from the hotel would
be possible in a few days, as the hotel
had closed for the-season, leaving the
patient and attendants practically
alone in the house. Saturday night,
however, a relapse in Miss Davis con-
dition was noticed, and throughout the
night she lost strength perceptibly.
In the morning the physicians said
that the end was not far off, and at
noon death came to end the suffering.

UNEASINESS AT NAPLES.

Naples, Sept. ia state of gloomy
apprehension prevails among the pop
ulation regarding the eruption of
Nesuvius, which is hourly becoming
more active and menacing. Streams Of
lava are spreading in every direction.
The most threatening of these flows
through the Nedrino valley, which is
almost filed. The observatory, which
originally stood at height of 6lO
meters. is now only 81 meters above the
sea level, owing to the sinking of the
ground. Seven new craters have
formed around the central one, and
this has not tended to diminish the
fears formerly felt, which were based
upon the eruption of stones and
scoriae similar to that which occurred
in 1872

New York, Sept. ia dispatch to
the Tribune from Madrid (yia Paris)
says that it is bitter disappointment
to Premier Sagasta that he has failed
to get for Spanish peace commission
ers representative men OF all parties,
to give it a national character, over
and above sectional politics. In spite
of all his promises and persuasion the
premier has been unable to obtain the
consent of any statesman outside OF
his own immediate followers, who are
willing to act on the commission,
where, to use an expression OF senior
Silvela, "Spain can employ nothing
but empty words and parallels to OPP
pose any demands the American com
missioners may see fit to make
The sitting of the cortes, and espe-

said to be indorsed by numbers OF

treaty. The sole point upon which
all parties here now seem to agree
is that Senior Sagasta must remain in
power until the conclusion OF peace.
and thereby drink the dregs of the cup
which his enemies maintain he has
himself brewed.
1t is impossible longer to conceal
the fact that the military leaders are
now preparing to act as soon as peace
is signed. Gen. Weyler never misses
an opportunity to discredit the
dynasty and is bitterly opposed to
Senior Polasieja. Weyler is believed to
be aiming at an outright dictatorship
in his own personal interest and is
known to have promised the highest
and most lucrative places to his mill
tary followers.
The great danger in the situation is
that the military element is consd-
cred as offering the only solution of
the present difficulties which party
passion has so embittered that cool
headed men fear an era of pronuncia-
mertos, dictatorship and civil war.
