THE COTTON BOIL wEEv1L.
". ID. Hunter. Of the Agricultural DepaFt-
:, ment, Makes . Report on the Raw
ID. ages of the Pest.

a Washington. May 18.-Some signif-
cant official predictions regarding the
ravages of the cotton boil weevil are
made In a report written by w. D..
Hunter, who has charge. Of the en-
Genealogical part Of the boil iweevil
agricultural departments investiga-
ton in which 80 experts are now en-
gagged. Mr., Hunter says that con-
servative authorities. agree that unless
contingencies. at present unexpected
occur the pest will soon make an in
crease In the price Of cotton through
out the world. BY living within the
fruit Of the plant the weevil is well
protected from any poisons that might
be applied: 1t takes only IA days for
development from an egg TO adult and
the progeny Of a single pair in a sea-
son may reach 1874, 100000 individuals:
1t adapts itself TO climatic conditions
and is remarkably free from parasites
and diseases, all these facts comhin-
ing to make efforts at control diff
cult. The report estimates that the
presence Of the weevil practically
doubles the area Of land required to
produce a bale Of cotton and that the
weeyil caused the planters loss of
about S15,OOO,OOO in 1903. Assuming
$500, 100000 as the value of the normal
cotton crop Of the country, Mr.. Hunter
says the probable ultimate damage
from the pest has become spread over
the entire belt and would approximate
$3.50. 100000 annually provided nothing
we're done to check II Planters. how
ever, are adopting changes In methods
that tend to minimize the damage.
The report predicts that the. weeTil
eventually will be distributed all over
the cotton belt, advancing into new
territoryst the rate Of approximately
500 miles a decade and says II prob
ahIy always win be a. destructive in . !
series Of years a. n has been In the
past since 1894.

REcKhEss AND W1cKEp.

s
 There are. it appears, some pretty wicked. as we'll as pretty reckless. au- tomobilists in the good old Bay State. The trick of throwing viscid oil on the number plate and then letting the dust stick to it is common enough there. Another trick is to turn the number plate bottom side up. By this means man whose number is 18s, for in stance, can turn his number into SS1, or the possessor of number 1sO can turn his number plate the other side up and make the casual observer believe that a car which is registered in Newton be- longs to a Lowell dealer. There are many combinations that can be worked with the Massachusetts plates, which have the figures in what printers know as gothic type, where the outlines are plain and many of the figures can be re- versed. The trick named cannot be uOlS WltA lAS SOIlieCllCuI5# UT INeW York numbers. One way in which the law is violated is for the owner of an automobile to apply to the State au- thorities and get number plate in due form. Then the owner of the auto- mobile gets similar plate with diff ferent number made. When he starts away on trip where he wants to keep people from knowing who he is, he de- taches the correct plate and puts on the bogus plate, thus violating the law.
 Of course something should be done about this. It is bad enough to have automobilists reckless, but when they are both reckless and dishonest it is too bad. Probably the Massachusetts law will soon be fixed so as to beat the tricks that are known, but even then there may be some new ones discovered,

SOME mELAscHoLY FIGURES

Dr. c. A. Stephens has something in- teresting and perhaps important to say about our Panama canal. He points out that in order to complete the canal 1t will be necessary to move sal.sOO.ooo cubic meters of earth and stone. He then calls attention to the fact that during their most successful year, 1897, the new company employed $500 men and removed, mainly in the culebra cut, ssO, 900 meters, chiefly earth. This was by far the best ever done by the French. Adding 40 per cent. to this s6O,oOO meters for better American methods and better machines, and as- sunling that the United States will em- ploy 10000 Iaborers in the place of 5000, he finds that to remove the s41, 1000 cubic meters forty-six years and nine days will be required. or until 1851. By employing SO,oO0 laborers the work might be done in about thirty years. More than sOOOO could not be adyanta- geously worked there. At best, there fore, allowing nothing for contingen- cies or accidents, a tide-water canal at Panama could not be completed before 1886, which few of the present genera tion would see.
 Getting into the details of the work. Dr. Stephens says that the culebra cut at the summit between the two oceans will be the greatest work of the kind ever undertaken by man. one-fifth of mile broad at the top. 15o feet broad at the bottom. nearly 400 feet deep at the deepest, with varying depths through miles of length, it is the most stupendous thing in the way of earth moving ever contemplated by engineers. The figures, he says. convey little idea of the tremendous quantity of earth and rock which must be removed. It Is not until one descends into this vast trench and marks how tiny the locomo- tive and the great steam exeaHators look when seen in the prodigious depth and breadth of the excavation that a conception of this more than herculean labor dawns on the mind. It is like Niagara, and must be contemplated for awhile
 Not very encouraging, but having be- gun the United States will of course finish the canal. It may, and probably will, soon appear that we are much smarter than the French at canal dig ging.

HNRO- O-WORSHIP.

Hero-worship is a great and good thing according to Carlyle one of the greatest and best things in the world. But 1t can be overdone, and some think lit has been in the case of Judge Par
 ker, who sent a telegram to St. Louis
 which made many people think and say
 he was real hero. One who has been thinking 1t over" writes to the New
 York Times as follows: The rule of estoppel in law is as good in morals and in honor. If a man wont speak when he should speak he shan't speak when he would speak" Judge Parker should have spoken at Albany, or he should not have spoken at St Louis. Either he was insincere or unintelli- Igent While criticising President Roose- welt at times, I believe he would have spoken at Albany. If sending that tell egram was pre-arranged, as part of ''the play" 1t would be conceded, I think. to be in keeping with Hills rec- lord. We do not know enough of Judge
 Parker to-day. We do know that Hill lis the judges discoverer and promoter, his lifelong friend and adviser. I am willing to credit Hill with sufficient loyalty to the judge and to his party to take all the curses while the judge
 poses as the political saint. At best, it seems to be sudden, placing the penuni-
 bra of the hero and the saint on Judge
 Parker's head. I like to find and wor- ship hero, but the real thing. I pro-
 pose to keep my head on my shoulders
 even if the press" at large runs wild.
 This Parker spasm will pass off-most spasms do--the sober sense of the peo-
 pie will return, and the Democratic
 candidate will be judged as other mor-
 tals are, not by a single dramatic act,
 but by a whole series of acts, of which
 the former was. only one, and minor one,
 Perhaps 1t will never be known just how heroic Judge Parker's telegram was. He is, of course, entitled to credit
