USEFUL FIG INSECT.
Thousands of Them Imported by
Prof. o. L. Howard.
Why They Are Expected to Increase
the Value of the American Fig
CrOp-KnOwn to HerOdOtus
and AristOtIe.

An insect of singular usefulness has
just arrived In this country.
It is scientifically known as the
Blastophago Grossorum, but 1t will
probably be more commonly known as
the fig insect.
Prof. L. 0. Howard, CHIEF entomolo-
gist of the department of agriculture,
has imported about half million OF
these insects from Southern Europe and
Asia Minor. They are of both sexes and
arc expected to increase the value of the
American fig crop enormously.
1t should be known that the tree
which grows edible figs is of the female
kind only. The male tree is frequently
known as the wild fig. The edible fig
does not reach its perfect development
unless the pollen from the male tree Is
carried to its flowers. In Europe this
work is performed by the blastophaga
insect, which, unfortunately, has never
been acclimated in this country The
fig which has not been fortified lacks
the flavor of the one which has, and is
also unfit for drying and preserving.
That is why the European fig is greatly
superior to the American, and explains
the Importance of Prof. Towards ex-
pertinent.
Prof. Howard, with his pets, the BIAS
tophagas, started from Washington re-
Gently for Fresno, Cal, where, in the
valley of the Fresno, the new arrivals

Their special function is the caprifi-
cation of the fig. Caprifcation is a
process practiced in the countries about
the Mediterranean from the earliest
times, and considered essential by the
growers of Smyrna figs.

tree, just as the young figs are forming.
From two to six of the caprifigs, which
look exactly like small, hard, green figs,
are threaded on rush, and the chaplet
il then thrown into the branches.
These capriigs are the fruit of the
male form of the species of which the
ordinary fig tree is the female. The
caprifig tree does not bear edible figs,
but, instead, small, tough ones filled
with little gals, from which issue
minute, black, wasp-like insects-the
blastophagas. These fig insects in
forcing their way out of the caprifig be-
come coated with pollen; then they en-
ter the ordinary, or female fig, just de-
vtloping at this season, and rub off the
pollen on the flower inside the fig,
which thus becomes fortified and rip

the fig growers in two ways! first, in

craft had been a brig, and she was a
Russian. Her matches were on and her
cabin doors fast, and the hulk was
buoyant. She had come out of the belly
Of an iceberg. She had little cargo, and
that consisted of skins and furs in
prime condition. No papers were found
in her cabin, but it was figured that she
was sealer or trader, carrying a crew
of ten or 12, and that she had been
provisioned for year. The -four found
aboard tasted like chalk, but the beef
was perhaps better than the day it was
put on board. She had been abandoned
when frozen in, and the dark color of
the woodwork and the growth of moss
proved that she had drifted for years.
Then she got fast in the ice and became
part of berg.
The date of letter found in her fore
castle showed that she had been aban-
doned nearly half century before. The
hulk drifted on to a sand beach and the
combers went to work on her. They got
out the furs, which brought them $4,-
600, hoisted out couple of barrels of
beef and then set fire to the wreck, and
little remained of her when the story
leaked out. That the hulk had come
down from the far north was proved
only few weeks later by the log of an
English merchantmen. She reported
passing great iceberg to the northwest
of the Azores and of seeing a curious
object imbedded in it so feet above the
surface of the water. Bhis object was
believed to be whale, but it was prob
ably the hull of the brig. Getting down
into the warm seas, the berg fell to
pieces, and that queer old relic found
herself afoat again.

element in an Indian Town.
MUNCIE, Ind, March 13.-People of
CASTOR and the country neighborhood in
the vicinity of the Plain View United
brethren church are in a state of excite
ment over the publication in the CASTOR
Gazette that a dance was conducted In
the church Sunday forenoon by the Sun
day school scholars. who took charge of
the building when the preacher, the Rev
Studebaksr, did not arrive as usual to
follow up the Sunday. school with the
morning preaching.
1t seems that some of the gay young
members loitered about the church after
the meeting had been discontinued, and
when the older members of the congrega-
ton had gone the pews were torn from
the floor, pushed into one corner of the
church, and for two hours the dance went
ON to the music from a charming whistler
who could handle a two-step with ac-
curacy. The whole affair was supposed
to be deep mysterious secret among the
participants, twelve couples; but the
mother of one of the girls came to the
church to ascertain why her daughter
was late for her dinner and discovered
the dance in progress. She was coerced
into secrecy, and from this fact may lose
her membership in the church
The fun was too good to keep and
finally one of the participants told the
story of the Sunday morning dance, and
the newspaper man printed it after dis
covering the identity of most of the par
Elephants. In part the editor says: 1.-The
grand jury ought surely to investigate
this matter, and if there is any law
against the Dissertation of the Sabbath
day with a dance or outraging God S
house 1t should be melted out to these
gay participants. most of whom hope to
keep their membership In the church"
