INSECTS THAT CAUSE RUIN.
A Mexican Pest That Undermine@ the
Great Coal Bins at
Tmmpico,

The work of clearing away the ruins
of the huge Goa! bins at Tampico which
cSved In and crushed many persons to
death few weeks ago is still going on,
but it is not known, and probably never
will be, just how many persons were
killed in the accident, reports the Mex
lean Herald. The collapse occurred at
a time when large number of women
and children were resting beneath the
huge bins, having brought lunch TO
their relatives who were employed on
the works. There is no way of ascer-
tanning how many of these persons
were there. About 80 bodies have been
recovered, but it is thought that twice
as many persons were killed.
"There Is no doubt that the accident
was due to the work of the teredo,"
said Chief Engineer Kingman, of the
Mexican Central railroad. Though
our road had nothing whatever to do
with the coal bins, 1 had examined
them carefully not long ago, IS at that
time we wished to obtain larger wharf
age and coal storage capacity at Tam
pico. looked at the bins which have
since collapsed and it was decided by
the higher officials not to buy them, as
they were not in such condition as
to suit our wants.
"At that time / saw traces of the
ravages of the teredo plainly visible in
the piling which supported the coal
bins. There is no doubt that since that
time the insects had done immensely
more damage and had so weakened the
supports that they gave way.
'Our road has been experimenting
for years in an effort to find something
stroying timber piling SO far, how
ever, nothing effective has been discov-
cred. The nearest preventive to the
work of these borers Is to soak the
piles in creosote. Scientists have said
that such treatment would cause the
death of any teredo which set its teeth
in the prepared wood 1t has been tried
many times, and, while it does some
good it is not sure. We have found
that piles so treated will last some
years, but an examination has shown
that in spite of the creosote the teredo
had practically destroyed one in five
of the timbers.
ut is a mystery why when all the
piles have been subject to the same
treatment and when chemical exam
ination shows that all are equally inn
pregnated with creosote the teredo
should attack one of the timbers and
not another. But this is so. We have
found that on an average four of the
piles so treated will be sound at the
end of three or four years, while the
fifth will be so eaten as to make it
source of great danger. Still, the ere
osote treatment is the only thing that
is at all effective, and it at least doubles
the life of wharves, as without it the
teredo would destroy ali such work in
less than two years.
"Of course this leaves masonry or
cement work as the only kind that is
really proof against the attacks of
these destroying insects, but the cost
of this work is so great that resort to
creosote-treated piles will have to be
made for many years."

THIEVES SELDOM INVENT.
DAD Games with which They
y Are Familiar.

The much Wanted ingenuity sof
thieves appears to be on the wane in
Chicago. Time was, says the Tribune,
when a new confidence game and a
new way of getting into close proxim-
ity with some other mans goods could
be expected to appear every day or
so. This has al changed, say the po-
lice, I-~ ~ewv he criminals seem con-
tent to ply their old accustomed games,
certain that through them they will ac-
quire a competence or an enforced re-
tirement.
"We haven't had new game brought
to light in a long time" said Inspector
John Hartnett at the Harrison street
police station recently. What few
confidence men are still left in this dis
trict are all sticking to their old tricks
the lock game and the counterfeit
neybogus-otficer combination. To
be sure there was man the other
day sold farmer an option on the Ma
sonic temple for $500, but that was a
sporadic case. And as for burglars.
why, they are all using the same old
AtANNACN Va - AHE on Win
jimmy, and sometimes using skeleton
keys. Sneak thieves are few, and even
they are not ingenious enough to think
up new games. Most of them depend
ON the games others have played"
There's nothing new in crime" re-
peated Capt. Evans, of the bureau of
Identification. "All the things we hear
about are on the same old order. OF
course there are confidence men who
are sharp enough to think up a new
scheme every time they see new vic
tim, but their games are, after all, so
similar that one describes them all.
They offer q man a chance to get q lot
of money in an easy way, and they get
the money. In burglary or thieving
there is absolutely nothing new. And
no new tools, either. The jimmy and
the skeleton key are still supreme"
A search Of the property room It the
city hall revealed no new implements
of burglary, and the officer in charge
asserted that none had come in.
1.-THE jimmy is so near perfect tool
that they can't improve on it, and moth
ing new will be apt to come forward
untila new way of building houses and
locking them up is devised" he said,

WAR ON THE COYOTE.
Ramehmen Find That Gr~yhounds

Down.

The ranchmen Of the west, who have
suffered serious loss for many years
from the depredations of the coyotes
think they have discovered a means
for their determination. Greyhoundi
alone of all the dog creation are fleet
of foot enough to run down the cow
ardly little pests and at the same time
brave enough to give them battle
Ranehers throughout the country are
paying big prices for blooded dogs,
and the friendless coyote is on run
for his life. For years the ranchers
and plainsmen have been skeptical OF
the stamina and fighting qualities OF
the greyhound in a finish fight with Q
coyote, but that idea, unjust to the
big-hearted dogs, la now entirely
eradicated.
Clinton II. Worden, an enthusiastic
greyhound man, was the first to give
the dogs fair trial, and his experience
showed that greyhounds can run down
and kill singly and collectively hun
dreds of the marauders of the plains.
AT close quarters the coyote has not
the ghost of chance against the grey
hound, and when a pack of the dogs
or portion of them overhaul the
quarry 1t is very quick time to mince-
meat for the coyote.
Packs are now being trained on
numerous ranches, and the sport and
excitement of coyote chase with
greyhounds is adding a new zest to life
on the plains. Incidentally the ranch
ers are Riding themselves Of disagree
able neighbors.

ENGLISH wASPS.
As - Rule They Are Not Vicious ANA

The common wasp, as q rule, keeps

London Spectator. 1t will bite fly in

on window pane, but it does not
use its sting even when trying to rob

The latter will push wasp away
five or six times, hustling it off the
footboard, without provoking it to
sting. But II bee endeavors to sting
the wasp, it then grapples with it
and stings back, killing or benumb-
ing the insect almost at once. Brit
ish wasps are fussy and excitable,
but not vicious, like many of the In
dian wild bees. However crowded
or uncomfortable they may be, they
very rarely quarrel with or sting
each other, as. for instance, when a
number are on the same window
pane, fretting and anxious to get
out. Only when the entrance to-
their nest is threatened do they be-
come actively aggressive, and then as
a rule the attack is not begun till
the person who excites their fear in
terposes between them and the en-
trance to the nest. A setter dog was
noticed to turn and bite itself, within.

they did not touch the persons sit.
