\ WAR BETWEEN BUGS

A dispatch from Washington not long
ago, says the Baltimore IN, announced
that the bureau of entomology is engaged
in the propagation of bugs which will
wage destructive warfare upon other bugs
This is interesting to US in view of the
legislature at Annapolis to destroy the
San Jose scale in the peach orchards of
MARYLAND. 1t is proposed to fumigate
the scale bugs and destroy them with bad
smells. 1t would be far better to raise
bugs which feed upon the scale and turn
them loose in the orchards to do the
work
The bureau of entomology is working
upon the well-known fact that all insects
have their enemies; that is, nearly all
The big tleas have little f1eas upon their
backs to bite EN- and the little fleas have
smaller still, and so ad intinitum. And
the big tleas themselves in turn have
bigger still to 90 on, and these f1eas have
others still, and so on still and so on.
The object of the culture is to ascer-
San Jose scale or the Colorado potato
bug, propagate that particular bug and
turn him loose upon his prey
The great trouble with all these expert
ments is that the cultivated bug is apt to
| make himself more disagrecable than the
bug to be exterminated. The English
sparrow was turned loose in New York to
eat the worms on the walks in the park.
But it soon became apparent that the
worms were greatly to be preferred to the
sparrows. 1t is generally conceded that
the hornet feeds upon the house fly, and
yet We would prefer the house fly to a
| swarm of hornets huZZing over the dinner
table. In opagating insects to destroy
other insects it might be wei! for the entC :
biological bureau to temper their zeal
with discretion. In Southern MARYLAND
| a pest destroyer is cultivated with success.
In tobacco grOw wing countries strange
| looking insect, with miniature cable
coiled up at its mouth, locally known as
the horn blower" lays its eggs on the
! tobacco plants. These eggs speedy hatch
| into green worms, which eat the leaf of
the tobacco with amazing rapidity To
| meet the tobacco worm as he advances the
| planter has prepared the Thanksgiving
turkey. The turkey estecms the tobacco
worm as an article of food. eats him and
fattens upon him marvclously, so that
when Thanksgiving Day comes the to-
| bacco worm has been converted into the
succulent turkey to grace the festive
board and make it groan under the weight
| thereof. Perhaps it might he we'll for
the American bureau of entomology to
contine its efforts to raising turkeys for
| distribution among the honest farmers.

WHAT THE WARTS COSTING

~ Few persons, probably, realize what
the war we are waging will cost 1t is
said that the civil war cost the nation
about four millions per day during the
last year of the conflict, but we had
then Il million of men in the army and
navy, nearly ten times as many as will
be called into service in the present
war, and our money was greatly de-
preciated &
\ good authority puts the cost Of a
first-class modern war vessel at 81 ,0OO,-
600 in round numbers, but the cost of
equipping and using such a vessel in
warfare surpasses all general calcutta
tions. A single twelve-inch gun costs
about $4,000 when placed on the ship
ready for action. The maximum ca
pacity Of this immense war engine is
eighty shots; the minimum thirty. 1t
Is not safe to count on these guns firing
more than fifty rounds. The intense
heat and strain are likely to make the
gun useless any time after thirty to
eighty rounds are fired from it, after
which it is valuable only as old steel.
The cost in wear and tear in firing these
guns may be safely estimated at 81 900
for every discharge,
In addition to the cost of 81 900 for
every round fired from these guns in
wear and tear, the powder and steel
pointed missile with which the gun is
loaded, cost the government 200
every time the gun is fired. 1t is a
safe estimate to say that every time a
twelve-inch gun is fired in war, the cost
is about $4,000.
The cost to Spain in constructing
and operating her ships is just three
times the amount to this country.
; Vessels and munitions of war can be
obtained only on gold basis, and the
figures given above are upon this basis
American four per cent. bonds sell at
about llS; Spanish four per cents at
about 80, or oDe-third of their face val
lie. Thus it can be realized how costly
the war is, and the only consolation
is in the hope Spain may not be able
to stand the enormous drain upon her
resources and be driven speedily to
seek peace.

The War Department Monday notified

promptly issued calls for the mobilization
of their State militias. The Maryland Ma
tional Guard went into camp at Pimlico,
near Baltimore. Governor Wolcott, of
Massachusetts,, declined to permit the
militia to enlist in the federal service,
saying they would be needed for home
coast protection and that volunteers could
fill up the States quota.

The Baltimore Sur, with character.

arrangements for complete news service
during the war, in which our country
is now engaged. Besides the news
coming through the ordinary channels,
it will receive the dispatches of the
London Times special war correspond

well-known journalist and novelist. 1t

has been organized by the New York

Full reports from the soldier bows at
Camp Wilmer will, of course, be an
other feature. The Sun is an up-to-
