CORN EATEN BY THE CHINCH BUG.
Prof. Webster gives an account of it's
probable origin and diffusion, its hab-
its and development, natural checks
and remedial and preventive measures,
with mention of the habits of an allied
European species.
Here are a few facts which Prof.
Webster has put in his bulletin:
The American chinchbug has made
fits appearance in every part of North
America from Cuba to Manitoba. He
hasn't made much Roadway west of
the Rockies. He hibernates in the
adult stage. If there is an ample sup
ply of proper food close at hand he
simply crawls from his alternating
place, but if he is in the timothy mead
ows of Northern Ohio, he does nothing
but continue his ravages where he left
off the autumn before.

KoREA,s CLOSED Doors

ARord No Field for American Enter
prise.
In pursuance of the policy now pur-
sued by the consular service OF ascer-
tanning the state of foreign fields as
opportunities for American labor, cap
ital and enterprise, Horace w. Allen,
consul general to Seoul, Korea, writes
for the consular reports under date Of
January % that Korea now employs
no foreign military officers as advisers
or instructors in its army, and is not
likely to do so, owing to an agreement
made with Russia when a large stan
of Russian officers were allowed to
leave. By this agreement Korea an
nounced her ability and intention to
dispense with further assistance Of that
kind. The many requests from young
men who have recently left the service
Of the United States asking for posi-
tons in connection with the Korean
army are futile. There is no demand
for their services in Korea. There is
no demand for foreign advisers to the
Korean government. Although two
Americans who held such positions
have recently died, their places have
been filled, and there is no further de-
mand for assistance of that kind. The
newspaper report that n Of these
advisers had been receiving a salary Of
100000 gold per annum is entirely
misleading; such positions pay from
