Dealing with GYPSY Moth.

The very fact that group of promi-
nent men in or around Boston are talk
ing of raising 100000 to introduce a
parasite for the suppression or restric-
tion of the gypsy and brown-tailed
moths shows how seriously the best
posted men take the pest. Yet in Prus-
sia, where the gypsy moth is very well
known and rather common, 1t does not
do anything like the damage it has
done around here. The explanation,
scientific men say, is precisely that in
Germany the parasite keeps the moth
down, while the moth was introduced
into this country without It's old enemy.
Whatever is done In Massachusetts, any
way, it is encouraging that there is lit
tie talk about any more State appro-
priations. Some State legislation is
wanted, but 1t is rather Of the kind
suggested by Mott Hallowell-an act
that will hold the owner Of land re-
sponsible II he does not try to keep his
trees clear OF the pest.-Boston Ad-

Distr,but,on of Immigrants

There are communities in this coun-
try which earnestly desire foreign i'm
migration. There are others which are
pretty strongly opposed to it. 1t is
obvious to every one that the practical
immigration problem is one Of diStri-
button. The immigrant has a perverse
way Of settling in those places which
do not want him and ignoring those
places which do. Commissioners Of i'm
migration for many years past have be-
lieved that something in the way Of
better distribution could be accom-
plished by affording the States needing
labor an opportunity after the immi-
grant has landed for giving him in
formation about conditions in their sec
tions and inviting him to settle there.
Commissioner general Sargent renews
the recommendation this year and asks
Congress for a chance to begin work Of
this kind at Ellis Island.-New York
Evening Post.

Battleshfps and Big Guns.

The war between Russia and Japan
has taught many lessons in warfare.
both at sea and on land. On the land
it is not unlikely that the most i'm
portant instruction will be in the art
of sanitation. On the, sea there has
been the most decisive test of modern
naval architecture. This test seems to
have established the superiority of the
battleship over other classes of war
vessels and Of big guns on such ships
over smaller guns, known as the sec
ondary battery. At the first naval
battle in the present war the great
guns on the Japanese battleships put
the Russian ships to flight before they
had approached each other closer
than four miles-a distance too great
for the six and eight inch guns to be
effective. That the Japanese could
strike their adversaries at that great
distance was an achievement in
craftsmanship which has never been
excelled. Against such craftsmanship
and such guns vessels of the cruiser
class carrying smaller guns would
stand no chance. The battleship with
it's thirteen-inch guns manned by ex-
pert marksmen could send a cruiser
to the bottom before the latter could
get within fighting distance.-Balti-

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE
OF BRIDGE WORKMAN
Fell From Structure 1871 Feet Above
Water and Was Rescued
live

Losing his balance while riveting
on a girder at the top of the new
Williamsburg bridge, New York, to-
day, Charles Summerfield fell 137 feet
through the air, turned four complete
somersaults and landed in the river,
feet first, miraculously escaping death.
He sustained serious injuries, but the
doctors believe he will live.
Summerfield, while stretching up
ward to put in rivet, lost his footing
and fell. AS he went down he caught
an ice-covered girder and held there
suspended above the river for several
seconds.
The workmen heard him cry for
help, and one Of them tried to gather
up a rope to throw to him, but before
1t could be slipped down Summer
field lost his hold.
Captain Kallister of the tug For-
tuna saw the man fall and headed for
him at full speed, just reaching him as
he was sinking the third time.
Summerfield is the fourth man to
fall from the Williamsburg bridge and
is the only one who was not killed
outright. OF these other three, two
were suicides and one was killed acci-
dentally.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

Poverty and Science

We must cease tinkering in a half
dozen different ways with the surface
symptoms of poverty, and dig down to
the roots, says w. H. Champness
in the Westminster Review, before we
can hope for any radical cure. All the
efforts of religion, philanthropy and
legislation having failed to mitigate
1t, we must perforce turn to the great
modern miracle worker, science.
Boothe and Rowntree have estimated
that nearly 80 per cent of the city pop
ulations in Great Britain are below the
poverty line. What this line means
may be gathered from Mr.. Rowntree's s
description of a family above it.
This family must never spent penny
on railway fare, must never buy a
half-penny newspaper, or concert
tickets, or write letters (because of the
postage), or contribute to the church,
or aid with money poorer neighbors, or
join "sick clubs" or unions, or buy
presents for the children. The father
must smoke no tobacco and drink no
beer. If a child falls Ill, the parish
doctor must be called; If 1t dies the
parish buries 1t. If any of these con-
ditions are transgressed, and extra ex-
penditure can only be met by limiting
the food-in other words, going hungry.

THREE SETS
OF PARENTS
IN WRANGLE
All Lay Claim to
the Same Pair OF
Children.
Special Dispatch to The Cali.

BLOOMINGTON, ILL.,, Dec 2S.-There
are two children in Peoria County who
have six parents. This peculiar dis
covery was made to-day when court
proceedings were filed. The children
are a girl of and boy Of 5.
Their original parents were Mr.. and
Mrs. Carl Orr of Averyville. Last jan
uary the couple separated and Mrs.
Orr was awarded the custody Of the
children and a divorce. She then was
married to William Bongartz of Free
port, where she now lives
The mother recently visited Peoria
with her children and permitted them
TO meet their father, who had since
married again. She returned to Free
port, leaving the children in the care
OF the father, and upon her return
found that the father insisted on
keeping them. She then sued for a
writ of habeas corpus and this showed
that the children had been given over
to and adopted by Mr.. and Mrs. Ed
ward Trapp Of Averyvil1e, who refuse
to give them up without court order.
The hearing is set for tomorrow.

GENERAL KUROPATKIN
IN EVERYDAY LIFE
Idol OF the Russian Army Has a
Passion for Hard


At 56 General Kuropatkin has the
same restless energy that he had in
his youth when he stormed through
the horrors of Plevna with Skobeleff,
and he is one Of the most famous mill
tary men now living. Like Skobelef,
he is a great leader of men, and he
knows the value of theatrical pomp
and braggadocio that appeal to the
Tartar hearts of his Russian soldiers.
Rut, In spite Of his boasting addresses,
his ostentatious slapping on the back
OF his brother" Ivan, the private; in
spite Of his carload of icons. amulets
and crosses, with the exhortations and
benedictions OF his priests, he is
cold-blooded calculator, patient and
untiring in his study Of detail. modest
and just. He is the Idol Of his army.
Endless toll has been the keynote of
his life.
At 1S he scorned the fashionable
Imperial Guards and chose a commits
sion in the Turkestan Rifles, because
he wanted work. After brilliant SER
vice at Samarcand he returned to ST.
Petersburg at 20 to complete his
studies in the Academy of the Gen
eral Staff. He wasNa hereditary noble
Of Pskoff, but he worked desperately
hard and in 1874 took the highest
honors. On leave to study abroad
after the Franco-Prussian war he
helped to reorganize the French cav
airy. General de Gallifet, the first
cavalryman Of France, declared in his
report that the most brilliant result Of
the work had been gained through the
advice of young Kuropatkin. His re-
markable strategic ability in the man
euvers near Metz made him the first
Russian to become an officer Of the
Legion of Honor for military services.
He has been severely wounded sew
eral times. In the Russo-Turkisn war
he was the battle brother of Skobeleff.
At Plevna, by Skobeleff's side, he saw
5000 Of his chiefs $4,000 fall. The
only officer not dead or wounded, he
led 800 men In a charge against bat
talon of Turks. Only hundred re-
turned, but the Turks had been driven
back into the famous "Redoubt No.
IS" He has won every decoration for
valor that the Car has in his gift.
Skobeleff said of him that he was the
coolest and hardest-nerved man he
had ever seen under f1re.-World's
