Increase of Scutellista

The rapid increase and distribution of the scutellista the beneficent para site of the almost ubiquitous black scale pest, has been noted at various times in the agricultural department of The Herald and now we have the statement of a Los Angeles county horticultural commissioner that "as many as 800 full-grown flies (wasps) are found in one breeding jar of a morning in the office of the commis- sion," and he estimates that from 30,000 to 35,000 of the parasites have been distributed throughout the county since the 18th of August" He also says that he "has recently seen an orchard that appears to have hun dreds of thousands of scutellista busily engaged in absorbing the juice of the eggs of the scale The orchard was not colonized, but the insect came from a distance and have gone through another grove still more re- mote from the nearest artificial col ony." A report made by c. A. Day of Pasadena, horticultural inspector, at a recent farmers institute held in that city, also shows the rapid spread of this wonder-working parasite. He stated that "the ninety colonies placed in pepper trees last year more than fulfilled expectations, and the prob- lem of cleaning these beautiful trees of black scale has been solved" The very existence of these charming shade trees seemed nearing the end, many of the oldest and finest having already become unsightly and almost leahess were sorrowfully cut down within the last two or three years, before the advent of the busy and prolific scutellista.

BIDS OPENED FOR BONDS
New York Firm Offers $7,OOO,0OO for
 p,,rrh,So of Entire ISsue

Washington.-Bids for the Philip pine friars lands bonds were opened at the state department The highest bid for the purchase of the entire issue of $7,OOO,OOO was from Harvey Fiske & Sons, associated with Fiske & Rob- inson, and the National City Bank of New York. Their figures were for all or none of the bonds, $107.57, and for all or any part of the bonds, $105.57. There were eighty bidders in all, and much higher figures were offered for smaller lots of the bonds.
 The greater part of the proposals were from individuals who offered to take anywhere from $100 to $50,000 Of the total loan. Some of the bids were from the south and New England, but none from west of Omaha. The diffi- cult task of scheduling the various bids with view of ascertaining the best terms offered can be completed and the result announced soon, it is expected.
 The impression in the insular bu- reau is that the Harvey Fiske & Sons bid of $107.57 offers the best rate, con- sidering that the firm offers to take all the bonds at that figure.
 This figure undoubtedly is lower than the bonds at first were expected to bring. It was stated at the insular bureau that the state of the money market, general downward tendency in government securities, and, more than anything else, certain limitations placed on the availability of these Philippine bonds in connection with their use by the banks, which were not imposed upon preceding issues, probably have acted to keep down the bids. However, it is said that the figure proposed is in excess of the estimate of Wall street financiers.

Fuel Value of Eucalyptus

As long ago as 1881 D. F. Hutchins, with Sir A. Brandis, of Cape Colony, South Africa, found that the eucal yptus in tropical climate stores up about one per cent of solar heat, and therefore possesses such fuel value that it is cheaper in Cape Colony to blow up the land and plant forest of these quick-growing trees than to import coal. Their investigation estab- lished the fact that mountain groves of these eucalyptus produce fuel at the rate of twenty tons per acre, a dry weight of sixty pounds per cubic foot being the standard for determin- ing the value. "The eucalyptus plan tation reproduces itself when cut at no further expense, and its dry tim Der, heavier than coal, has an equal or higher thermal power, bulk for bulk, than coal. A powerful, heavy rainfall or irrigation, rapid growth are the essentials of such a produc- tion of wood fuel"

CUBANS RATIFY THE TREATY
All Provisions of Platt Amendment
 Adopted by Senate


 Havana.-After clearing legislative business and being in readiness to adjourn until the spring session, the senate rushed the ratification of the so-called permanent treaty with the United States. There was no debate and the vote was taken simply by a show of hands. The treaty includes all the provisions of the Platt amend ment verbatim. This was the prop osition the Cuban government made because of the desire to eliminate eventually the amendment from the constitution and so remove the cause of the constant criticism of the makers of the constitution for accepting such an amendment from the United States. The treaty was signed May 22, 1903.

BUFFALO BILLS LAND SCHEME
General Niles is at the Head of the
 Company

Cody. Wyo. The personnel of the members of the great S3,500, GOO syndi- cate formed by Colonel Cody to de- velop important industries and launch new enterprises in this county, has been known, and includes no less i'm portant people than General Nelson A. Miles, Colonel Ball, Dr. Powell and several titled Englishmen. Gen. eral Miles is president of the new company.
 The report that the government has taken over the great Cody y-SaIisbury canal is erroneous, as it is the inten- tion of the syndicate to retain it's rights to the 140 acres under this seg- regation and rush the gigantic canal rapidly to completion. This will make one of the greatest irrigation enter prises in the west.
