WAR ON THE LANTANA
INSECTS WHICH WAS AGAINST
IT.
Prof Koebele Keeps Sending Many In
dividuals and Species But They All
Have Enemies of Their own

Prof. r. G. L. Perkins on the ento-
biological department is occupied much
of his time just now with the propo-
cation and culture of insect enemies of
lantana. Prof Koebele sends by almost
every steamer both new kinds of lanta-
ma enemies and new species of those al
ready sent. But with the insect enc
mics of the lantana come their parasites
and other enemies, the
Smaller fleas have lesser fleas
"On their backs to bite EN-;
Lesser fleas have smaller fleas,
And so on ad infnitum."
The insect enemies of the lantana
come here usually in the larvae stage
ensconed in the twigs or stems of Ian
tana where they were Matched out in
Mexico In order to propagate them
these twigs or stems are grated on to
twigs or stems of Hawaiian lantana
and these are placed in big glass jars
wherein the conditions are favorable
for propagation and given chance to
form a new habitat and environment as
we'll as to increase in numbers for the
work of destroying the lantana of the
island, which is laid out for them. The
work of prOpOgating these insects in
sufficient numbers to accomplish this
work, Prof Perkins says will be quite
a task, principally on account of the
number and virulence of the parasites
which attack them and which seem to
come with them. Prof. Perkins hopes
that by propogating from the Mexican
lantana to lantana brought, say from
the Island of Hawaii which may be eX-
pected to be entirely free from their
parasites, pest free insects may be OBJ
tanned which will be much more effec-
tive than those not thus free. At pre-
sent at least ninety per cent of the
young insects are killed by the para
sites.
Prof. Perkins thinks that the first
good which will be visible from the in
PRODUCTION of these insects will be in
pastures and ranges where the lantana
has not yet captured the whole SOIL
these insects will be able to keep it
from spreading. Where lantana has
already established itself firmly he
thinks it will probably be a good while
before the insects make much head
way against it.

MOSQUITOES AND MALARIA.

LONDON, September 1.-The officia,
report on the British Central African
Protectorate, which has just been pub

some suggestive evidence as to the de-

fevers may be expected to disappear as
the result of the most careful proven

edge. Systematic experimenting con-
Quoted in certain sections of British

THE MOLE CRICKET.

Prof. Perkins has received specimens
of what is feared by some will prove a
new insect pest. These are specimens
of the mole cricket, an insect that looks
like cross between a cricket and a
grasshopper. 1t is not new to Prof.
Perkins. 1t is an introduction to the
Island and first found by him over in
KOolau. 1t would now seem to be
pretty well distributed. Some reports
have come that it has proved destruc-
tive to cane, but Prof. Perkins does
not think it will prove a serious pest.

TOO KIND.

A tender-hearted Irishman at AL
toona, Pa, has been prosecuted by a
local humane society for excessive
kindness to a horse. He was so fond
of an intelligent horse that he would
not allow it to work or even be eXer-
cised. For four years the horse had
not been out of the stable. The society
thought such kindness misdirected, and
hailed the man into court.

HAD A. PORTO RICAN WIFE.

Lo Tow Tong Hing, a Chinese, was
before Judge Wilcox yesterday to an
swer to a charge of assault and bat
terry on Mrs. Lo. 1t appears that the
woman is a Porto Rican. Evidently
the union of the two races in domestic
alliance was not happy affair, for the
woman was stubborn. She claimed
that Lo, the poor Chinese, had slapped
her. The court administered a repri-
mand and dismissed the defendant.

1900. In 1901 the number of building
permits issued was S5,571. In 1900 II
was 6S.417. The gain was therefore more
than 20 per cent. The value Of the build
ings erected last year was 1912, 1851,
against $241 $50, 5S5 in 1900, a gain of
nearly So per cent Although New York

According to a decision rendered by
Judge Grosscnp the city Of Chicago wins
the fight for cheap gas. While it is ex-
pected that an appeal will be taken from
the United States Circuit Court to the
Supreme Court it is not believed that the
opinion of the lower court will be over
thrown. The ruling was entered on the
bill of the Peoples Gaslight and Coke
CompanS asking an injunction restrain
ing the city from enforcing the rate fixed
by city ordinance. The bill was thrown
out of court for want Of jurisdiction. The
company is allowed sixty days within
which to file an appeal to the Supreme
Court and to file an appeal bond, which
was set at 100000. In the interim the
city will make no effort to enforce the
75-cent rate, but should the final decision
be favorable the gas company viii be
liable to all consumers for a rebate of
% cents per thousand feet Of gas paid
for from Jan. 2, 1901. 1t was on this

CHURCH SERVICE BY PHONE.
Result of War Between Rival Com.
panies in Washington, Ind.


At Washington, Ind, the experiment
was tried on a recent Sunday of placing
telephones in the churches, giving connec-
ton with the patrons Of the line, so that
those who chose to hear the sermon with
out going to the trouble of dressing up
for church pew could do so.
The town OF Washington has been in
the throes of telephone war for some
time, and the strife has grown bitter.
Both companies have strained every ef-
fort to win patronage Finally the Bell
Company resorted to offering church SER
vice free at home to beat its rival. the
independent company. The Bell Com
pany arranged with the preachers of the
town to place telephones in all the church
es, and offered connections with their
subscribers throughout the town and the
country. The pastors accepted the sug-
gestion, and the first experiment was a
great success.
The advantages of the system to the
church-going public are obvious. and so
are the disadvantages from tue stand
point of the preacher The system makes
it possible for a man, to ST comfortably
at home. smoking his ciga' md holding
his Sunday newspaper, while listening TO
the Scriptural discourse of his favorite
preacher. If the sermon doesn't strike
him right he doesn't have to undergo the
embarrassment of getting up and leaving
church.. He can merely hang up the re-
ceiyer and ask central for another church
and better preacher. And If he does
not believe in church collections, or is
careless about putting his money into his
Sunday trousers, he does not have to look
stern and uneoncerned while inwardly
enraged while some persistent deacon
passes the collection box too coSoiy to

In the House of Lords, Lord Burgh-

Secretary for the Colonial Office, il he
could inform the House regarding the
alarming statements that Canadian land
was being bought up By Americans, Of
whom 100000 were said to have emi-
grated to Canada this wear. The Under
Secretary said he though, Lord Burgh-
clere's figures were incorrect. In l90l
the number OF Americans who emigrated
to Canada was IL ,9S7, while to the most
recent date this year the number was
24.100. The Under Secretary also said
that in western Canada land was being
taken up with unexampled rapidity not
only by Americans, but by Englishmen
and other Europeans, which bid fair to
make Canadian wheat fields an important
factor in the wheat supply of the world.

sroPs NATURAL GAS PUMPS.
Indiana Judge Rules Against Expor-

@n"iaha Juugc RuIeS Against hxpor-
tation of the Fluid.
Judge Ryan of the Madison, Ind, SUI
perior Court issued perpetual injunc-
ton restraining the Richmond Natural
Gas Company from operating its pump
ing station near New Castle. The Rich
mond company formerly had the station
in the eastern part of the county and af-
ter the supply of gas had been exhausted
the pumps We're removed to New Castle.
Judge Ryan finds that the pumps or COM
pressors take gas away from the district
and give it to outside cities in large guam
titles. while the people who live IN the
immediate neighborhood cannot get 1t at
all. lie recites much law which pro-
yides against the pumping of gas away
from the people to whom it justly belongs.
The court further finds that one COM
pany alone pumps out of the gas territory
1S0OO0,OO0 cubic feet day. Three 9TH
er companies take close to 1,o00,OO0,0OO
cubic feet day to Chicago. Indianapolis,
Fort Wayne and Ohio cities. The decis-
ion will be far-reaching in its effects il
it is sustained by the Supreme Court. for
in that event no gas could be pumped out

A severe earthquake shock was felt in
Lompec Valley, Cal, at 1885 o'clock
FSunday night. The shock lasted fully
thirty seconds, and was SO severe that
dishes, clocks, house plants, etc, were
thrown from shelves and furniture and
other articles were upset.
The people were stricken with terror
and ran from their houses, some fearing
to return, as other lighter shocks con-
tinued for several hours afterward. An
other heavy shock was felt at 5 a. m.
and one at IL a. IN. Monday. A large
water tank was knocked over; the earth
cracked at many places. The Santa Ynez
river bed slightly changed at places.
Meager advices from Los Alamos, near
Santa Barbara, report that a severe
shock was felt Sunday night at about IL
o'clock, doing $4,000 damage to the
property of the Western Union Oil Com
pany at the Garreaga wells. At Harris
Station a fissure is reported to have open
ed, and from it a stream of water two
feet deep and eighteen feet wide is flow
ing. A slight shock was felt in Santa
Barbara, but no damage was done. At
Santa Maria the vibrations, which were
from east to west, lasted fortyifye sec
