Lieut.. Hobson as Naval Engineer

Young Hobson stood at the head of his
class, and he went into the staff and into
the bureau of naval constructors, who
design and attend to the repairs of the
ships' steel hulls. Now he was special
list. He graduated only ten years ago, in
1889, at the age of seventeen, so young
and yet at the top of his class. He was
then sent abroad for several years of
study in the ship-yards of England and
France. He was to be a naval architect.
1t must be kept in mind that there are
several corps in the naval staff, and the
construction corps is something different
from the engineer corps. Its work is
highly specialized and of a late develop
ment.
There are hundreds of men in the line
and scores OF men in the staff whose
lives run along comfortably in the easy
routine of ordinary faithfulness. Young
Hobson had in him that restless genius
which would not allow him to be salts
fed with doing his required duty, but
imposed on him the obligation of imprOv-
inc things. He had that dangerous and
most valuable of all gifts, that of in
itiative Once stung by this gadtiy can
never be satisfied with what is, what has
been laid out for him by others, but wants

10 IL that the United States has the best
sbins that can be constructed. But ship
construction was not taught at Annapo-
lis. He urged that there should be a
school of naval construction at the Acad-
emy for post-graduates, and when il was
established he was sent there as its first

Destroy the Caterpillars.

The caterpillar, which did much
damage last year in many places in
this state, especially to maple and APP
pie trees, has done even more damage
this year. The insect should be killed
wherever found and also the egg clus-
tiers, which may be found at the under
The caterpillars when young are mi
mute black worms, usually creeping
about in companies and when moving
some distance doing so in single file.
In two weeks they are of yellOwish
brown color. The fully grown cater
pillar is somewhat hairy and about
two inches long. The caterpillar be-
comes mature about the first week in
June. 1t feeds on all our common
fruit trees and on naples, oaks, wal
nuts, pOplars, ash, etc. In some places
it prefers the apple tree and in others
it attacks only the sugar maple. 1t is
not easy to destroy this pest when
once it has become established in a
grove or orchard. The caterpillar be-
ing now full grown many may be de-
stroyed with the torch made of a rag
soaked with kerosene on the end of a
pole. Spraying the trees with paris
green or other arsenite will sometimes
be found an effective and convenient
remedy. The best remedy, however,
is to destroy the egg clusters, which
can be found by examining the trees
closely. Every egg cluster destroyed
lessons the number of caterpillars
likely to appear later on by about 400
The worms are now mature and have
ceased feeding. They will do but lit
tie more damage this season but
should be hunted down and destroyed
together with the egg clusters in order
to avoid great damage next year.
