USEFUL FIG INSECT.
Thousands Of Them Imported by
Prof. o. L. Howard.
why They Arc Expected to Iacrease
the Value of the American Fig
Ceop-Known to Herodotus
and Aristotle.

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. O. Howard, chief entomolo-
Eist 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. 80
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 Ag
does not reach, its perfect development
naless 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 fertilizcd 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
will be settled and put to work.
Their special function is the caprii-
cation of the fig. Caprifcation is q
process practiced in the countries about
the Mediterranean from the earliest
times, and considered essential by the
growers of Smyrna figs.
To insure capriication the peasants
of the orient suspend so-called capri.

MUSEUM COMMITTEE LIKELY TO TAKE A PAINT
ING BY THE LATE THEODORE ROBINSON.
Although the authorities of the Metropolitan
Museum Of Art have not yet decided definitely
whether or not to accept for the museum paint
ing by the late Theodore Robinson 1t is probable
that they Will in the end accept his painting OF
the Seine Valley. which was recently offered by
George A. Hearn. 1t will be remembered that
when the Society Of American Artists. Of which
Mr. Robinson was a member, offered canal scene
nv him 70 the museum some time ago their offer
was refecfed AS the society had taken consid-
cradle pains and spent considerable money 10 secure
the picture they were far from pleased az ms ana
much comment was aroused at the time some time
afterward William T. Evans an art collector III
hi. c,.v exnressed his willingness TO give his
nain,ne OF the Seine Valley by Theodore Robinson,
~ the Society Of American Artists approved. They
sgrifed their approval later. but MT Evans was

have declared their intention OF becoming citizens
OF Newport by registering their names at the City
Hall. Mr. Burden visited the City Clerks Office on
March q last and entered his name and place OF
residence on the book OF registery. and Mr.. King
did the same thing longer ago than May |.
This act does not give either any additional right
to IN Newport which he did not possess be-
fore In Rhode Island any male OF the age OF
twenty-one years who Is the owner OF real estate
may vote without registering his name In any city
in which he has been resident a
year. and as Messrs Burden and King stated
that they had resided in Newport since 1897 and
since 1886 respectively they were qualified by that
fact. Nor. indeed. does the act Of registry const-
tute in this State legal declaration OF intention
to become citizen. It simply makes record OF the
fact Of qualification taxpaying voter. Its chief
value 10 Messrs Burden and King lies IN the fact
that certificate OF such registration will serve in
New-York as a notice Of change OF citizenship.
In taking this step these men simply fol-
lowing in the footsteps OF considerable num-
