MORALES ORANGE WORM
DR.. Leonard o Howard, an Entomolo-
gist, Speaks Of It


The Morales orange worm, which has
so long been bothering the orange growers
of this state, is now found to be irradic-
able by so eminent an authority and in
vestigator as DR.. Leland o. Howard, en-
tomologist for the department of Agricui-
ture at Washington, and curator of in
sects for the National museum, who Is
now in the city on his return trip from
Mexico. Speaking of the subject he said:
II find that the claim of the Mexicans
that the worm was confined to the one
state of Morales was incorrect, for it has
been found everywhere in Mexico where
oranges are grown, except the state of
Sonora. It's entrance into that place and
into California. unless the most rigid pre-
cautions are taken, is simply a matter of
time and chance.
1.-THE fly is about the size of house fly,
slightly narrower and with barred wings.
It deposits it's eggs a short distance in the
skin of the orange, and when the maggot
matches it at once pierces the remaining
portion of the skin and makes it way into
the pulp of the fruit, where 1t lives until
ready to change into fly, eating the in
terror of the fruit and presenting most
disgusting appearance when the orange
is cut open."
On his return to Washington DR.. How
ard will recommend that to remedy the
ravages of this insect a strict quarantine
measure be taken.

ination was set for the 2Sth. Traynor
threatened to kill all the residents in So

Indefinitely by Justice Morrison yesterday

LOS ANGELES THEATER.-One might
previously have wished to hear Melba and
her splendid companions in a more popular
or more familiar opera than Rossinis
BARBER of Seville" but certainly, after
last nights performance, 1t Is easy to un-
derstand why this is favorite with Melba
and why she has gained such magnifi-
cent reputation therein. Melba is radiant
In the part of Rosina; she is versatile and
charming throughout, and shares in the
huge enjoyment that all the principals
evidently take In the foolery. The great
moments of "Il Barbiere" may be few and
far between, but with such voices as
Melba's, Campanaris and Viviani's. no
moment could ever be without charm.
Then, too. the grand orchestra. under
Bimbonis magic wand, gives out such
music as is but seldom heard In this dis
tant land. The whole performance pro-
yided a priceless luxury for the music
lover.
The house was brilliant, but inclined to
be chilly (not atmospherically). The bal
cony and gallery were crowded. the lat
ter to suffocation, but there was a sur
prising number of vacant seats In the most
expensive parts of the house. which can
only be accounted for by the sordid fact
that people nowadays prefer to enjoy half
a dozen nights of spectacular extrava-
ganza or Improbable farce-comedy to one
of music sung by the greatest voices on
earth today. The big audience, however,
warmed up to burst of enthusiasm when
Melba, In the second act, after her bril-
liant rendering of "Contro un Cor" in the
singing lesson, sat down to the piano and
to her own accompaniment sang Tostis
"Mattitina." 1t was chafmngly sung,
every liquid note as shining as faultless
pearl. This was the audiences oppor-
tunity, and the diva was gracious, re-
