WHY THE WORMS DISAPPEARED.

Opinions Of Caroline q. SouIe and Prot.
q. II. Perkins on Disnpp, nrnnce OF
Forest Tent CsterpIIIRrs
Caroline G. Soule, whose articles on the
forest tent caterp liar have attracted so
much attention, in writing from Brandon
to the Springfield Republican under date
of June IL, says: Probably the caterpil-
lars near Brattleboro have The same story
as those here. Birds and parasites so re-
duced their number, outside the town,
that few are to be found although there
are enough to prove that neither winter
nor May frosts killed the rest. The forest
tent caterpillar makes yery small and in-
conspicuous nest, not to be uoyced by un-
trained observers. 1t is the "apple-tree
tent caterpillar" which make the large and
unsightly nests Iu the town here men
were employed to spray the trees as soon
as the leaves began to open, aud they re-
ported finding various colonies of small
ca-erpillars on the tops of the trees. So
efficient was the spraying, however, that
can learn of but II citerpildrs seen by any
one in the town, and no one person has
seen more than four since the trees were
sprayed. Birds have never been 50 abund-
ant here as for the past two years, and
this spring shows no dminution in their
numbers, and all through this part Of the
country there are creepers and nuthatches
which eat the moth eggs in the winter
feel very confident that cold has had no ef-
feet on the caterpllars, because they are
very abundant in several places where the
May frosts were severe, aud where the
caterpillars had been noticed before the
frosts came.

Five Things Railroad Legislation Has
Done.
From the Rutland Newsl


From the Rutland News.l
The more the thoughtful voter considers
Vermont industrial conditions the more he
is convinced that the railroad interests
should not be given the prerogative of
making laws for the state. As a result of
their domination of state legislatures in
the past there is found, briefly, these con-
ditions: First, an absolutely Inadequate
and unfair taxation of railroads-on low
valuation of $50,O00O00 they pay only
Sll4,OOO taxes, while savings banks taxed
on every dollar of their 100000 re-
sources pay S220, 000 Second, a state
boardllof railroad commissioners without
adequate jurisdiction. Third, valuable
franchises and rights of way given away
without commensurate return. Fourth,
rates of passenger travel higher than in als
most any other section of New England or
New York. Fifth, charters voted to rail
roads containing provisions preventing any
legislation tom AXE lower freight tariffs and
passenger rates until the railroads pay div
idends to their stockholders of one per
cent a month
In the face of these conditions can any
thoughtful voter consider it for the best
interests of the state to permit the rail
road interests of the state, who have still
other favors to ask, to name the members
OF the next state senate and house or TO
control them?

The Republican, in commenting editori-
ally upon Mrs. Soues letter. says in part:
Spraying with polsons is, of course, only
practicable in limited territories, of cities
and villages, and it will save number of
trees which might otherwise be destroyed
but as it cannot be extended to the forests
1t cannot hinder the vast multiplication of
the insect hordes. For that there is no
other recourse save the provisions of ma.
ture, and those provisions are simply
birds. The killing of birds is what makes
the insects dangerous. For some reason
and it is thought because of protective
laws, although they are yet so very INSULT
Gent the birds have been more numerous
this spring than for some years before
These laws ought to be extended and made
more stringent everywhere, for it is no
trivial or sentimental matter
OF course the notion that the frost killed
the creatures in the egg has no foundation
The eggs are impermeable TO any sort Of
weather.

The claim has been made that the cater
pillars were Matched out in May, when the
temperature was as low as p degrees, and
that the small caterpillars were killed at
that time by the cold. Ono man who in
vestigated the subject said he found the
small caterpillars just before the cold
weather came, and after the low tempera-
ture the worms had disappeared. Miss
Soule's theory that the birds have disposed
of the caterpillars does not agree with the
opinion of Prof. Perkins, the entomologist
of the Vermont agricultural experiment sta
.tion. Prof. Perkins thinks that the wealth
er, both the cold snap and the heavy show
ers, had much to do with checking the
forest. worm, but that the most important
factor was parasite which attacked the
cocOons last year.

VERM0NTER WON.
Newton Of Randolph Beat New YOrk's
Best "a Long Distance Runners.

Covered II MILES over Rough Road
in I.2s---Won Honor OF Representing
New York at the Marathon Race In
Paris.
The honor of representing New York
city in the Marathon race at the Paris ex-
position was won Landily Sunday by Ar
thur l. Newton of Randolph, Vt. (tamil-
iarly known as "Stubby" in his home
town. who had as competitors "a of the
best long distance runners in the Metro
poltan association. which includes all the
athletic clubs of New York and vicinity.
The distance, 10 miles over a hiily road
with the start and finish on the track at
Celtic, Long Island, was covered by New
ton in LIS, or faster than a 10 mile an
hour clip for the entire distance. Newton
finished a quarter of mile ahead Of his
nearest competitor. Newton finished com
paralively fresh, but most Of the runners
amhled around the track at the finish like
siX-day pedestrians.
The cosmopolitan field which started in
the race was made up mainly of athletes Of
Irish or German descent, and no little sat
isfaction was felt by the spectators when the
genuine Yankee article trotted home an
easy winner Newton wore the winged
tOOl OF lhe New Ork Athletic club, and
members of that organization were jubi-
liant over his victory, and followed him
around the last lap in a noisy, but encour-
aging demonstration.
Newton is Is years old, five feet FIVE
inches tall, and weighs 125 pounds. He
was born in Woodstock, but began run
ming when at the Randolph High school
He won the half-mle and mile champion
ship of the Dartmouth Interscholasiic as
ISOLATION four consecutive years and also
won the mile national interscholastic
championship at New York two or three
years ago He went to New York last fall
and soon began running under the colors
of the New York Athletic club. He has
won many notable races in the last few
months, but this was his first attempt at
extreme long distance running. Newton's
record for a mile is 424, and in three
mile race a short time ago he ran the last
half mile in 0S He said after the race
that the trip to France, for which he won
the expenses by his victory, depends upon
whether he can get leave of absence from
his business
