come few eggs of the Gypsy moth,
already well-known as a destructive in
sect in Europe. These eggs were In a
pasteboard box on window ledge and
were blown away. AS result the
state Of Massachusetts has been obliged
to spend more than half million dol
lars since then in trying to exterminate
the bug, which has threatened to eat
every green thing of the face Of the
earth In the region over which it has
spread, comprising some fifty square
miles. It is ravenous defoliator Of
fruit and shade trees, and II 1t should
extend its operations over a large part
Of the country It might easily do mil
lions of dollars worth Of injury year
ly. The brute is a dark gray caterpil-
lar, two and half inches long, and it's
parent is moth Of yellowish hue with
black bands on its wings.
The San Jose scale gets its name
from the fact that it first appeared in
the San Jose valley California, having
been imported probably from Austria
liza or Hawaii It Is the worst Of all
enemies Of fruit trees. Almost micro
scopic in size, 1t will spread through an
orchard in half dozen years, and in
place Of green leaves and blossoms,
leaves nothing but dead trunks and
branches. A Embarrassing district at
tackled by 1t is destroyed as effectually
as II overrun by fire. These insects,
millions Of them together, suck the sap
Of the tree, each one of them covered
with a waxy scale, which forms q sort
Of grayish scurf on the bark. mas
much as single female may have as
many as 3,216,000 descendants in sin
gle season, 1t Is easily understood why
the pest spreads so dangerously fast.
Recently the department Of agricul-
ture has imported from China a bug
that preys upon 1t. and which is now
being propagated in outdoor cages for
distribution among fruit growrs.
The grain weevil, which destroys
millions of dollars worth Of stored ce-
reals, In granaries and elevators every
year, is little brown beetle quarter
Of an inch long. The question Of how
to fight it is one OF growing economic
Importance. It was imported originally
from the Mediterranean and has been
"domesticated" SO long that it has lost
the use Of It's wings. Indeed, its raw
ages made it famous long before the
Christian era, and it is mentioned in
the "Georgies" of Virgil. The female
beetle punctures the grain kernel with
her snout and inserts an egg, from
which is Matched little worm that
lives in the hull and feeds upon the
starchy interior.
The cabbage worm, which does more
or less damage in every truck patch, is
a green caterpillar, an inch and q. half
long. It Is the offspring Of common
white butterfly. The apple worm
(whose parent Is likewise moth) Is a
reddish worm, half an inch in length,
and is unpleasantly familiar to every
body. There are many other destruct-
i've insects In the country, Of course,
but those here mentioned are the ones
that does the bulk Of the damage and
which are most dreaded by the grow
ers Of crops. Up to date the govern
ment, with all it's powers, has been
almost defenceless against these dozen
tiny, but unrelenting foes.-Washing-

Chamberlain'S Cough Remedy.

No one who is acquainted with it's
good qualities can be surprised at the
great popularity of Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy. 1t not only cures
colds and grip effectually and perma~
nently, but prevents these diseases
from resulting in pneumonia. 1t is also
a certain cure for Group. Whooping
cough is not dangerous when this rem
edy is given. 1t contains no opium or
other harmful substance and may be
given as confidently to a BAH as to an
adult. 1t is also pleasant to take.
When all of these facts are taken into
consideration it is not surprising that
people in foreign lands. as well as at

other after having once used it. For

The question has been asked-In what
way are Chamberlain Stomach and

that it is produced by a medicine.

AFTER PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT.
wild Man Goes to White House and
Starts Row Terrible Fight In the
Police Van.

Washington, Oct. S-Peter S Ell
lott, all armed and insane man
who demanded that he be allowed
to see President Roosevelt, engaged
i'll a desperate hand. to- hand en-
counter with officers in the vesti-
bule of the White House shortly
before noon today. The man was
finally overcome by the officers and
carried to the police van, which
had been summoned. He stated
that he was from Minneapolis.
After being placed III the van
Elliott seemed to realize for the
first time that he was under arrest,
and began a furious struggle for
liberty. Drawing a revolver the
desperate man attempted to shoot
Officer Brazel. The latter grabbed
his hand and wrenched the weapon
from him. The struggle in the
van was SO fierce that two officers
i'll the crammed quarters were unable
to overcome Elliott. Officer Crisal
then drew his revolver and fired
four shots to attract attention.
Chief Usher Thomas Stone and
Officer Parker, of the White House
force, rushed to the vehicle and
assisted III overpowering Elliott.
In the struggle in the van Elliott
broke a glass panel with his head
severely cutting his head and face.
Olilcer Crisal sustained bad cut
on his right arm, two inches of
flesh being cut from the neshy part
of the arm. He suffered consid-
crably from loss of blood, but his
condition is not serious. The van
was hurried off to the Emergency
hospital, where the injuries of both
Crisal and Elliott were dressed.
Elliott is undoubtedly violently
insane. Several days ago Secretary
Loeb received letter written on
the letter paper Of the St James
hotel, i'll this city. It contained a
photo Of Elliott and an incohercnt
request for all interview with the
president. The letter was signed
'Petcr Elliott. 1t is evident to
Secretary Loeb that the CORES.
pondence was from an insane man
and he issuscd directions that the
officers of the White house and ex-
ecutlve Offices should be on guard
against him. The photograph was
turned over to the secret service
officers. Nothing was seen of the
man until yesterday, when the
president attended the morning ser
vices at Grace Reformed church
Elliott appeared near the entrance
and made an effort to speak with
the president, but was foiled by the
secret service officers. He quietly
left the vicinity of the church when
ordered by the officers. About 10
O'Clock this morning Elliott ap-
pcareG at the executive Offices and
inquired for the president. The
doorkcepers asked why he wanted
to see the president. ooh just for
fun,' he responded. "The ptesi
dent sent for me, and I Just want
to see him." elliott was told to
return next month. His appear
ancc attracted little attention and
he gave no indication then of in
sanity.
