The position of General Kuropatkin' s

progress and at the same time Field
Marshal Oyama is also rolling back
the Russian left, while pounding away
at the Russian center with heavy high
power guns.
General I<uropatkin is making des-
perate efforts to check Kuroki, one OF
whose columns has succeeded in work

House and Remains There.
Probably the most peculiar pet
owned by any man in the United
States is in the possession of Mr.. Jo-
seph H. Smith, of Phoenix avenue,
Morristown, N. ]. 1t is tame sea
gull.
It is several months since Mr..
Smith came into possession of the
bird, but so little has he said about
it that even his neighbors are not
aware of the curiosity. The bird
came to Mr.. Smith during one of the
hard storms in the latter part OF
January Mr.. Smith was just about
to enter his house one night when
something swooped down over his
head and fell on the walk at his feet.
Without stopping to see what it was
Mr.. Smith opened the door of his
house. and before he could shut 1t the
gull had entered. From that day to
this the gull has not been outside the
door, and shows no disposition to
leave the place. He seems perfect

and does not mind when his master
picks him up. He takes his daily
swim in tub, and does not seem to
mind the loss of the ocean.
Mr.. Smith was in the navy for
eight years and has seen thousands
of gulls, but he AYERS this is the first
time he ever saw one nearer than
the cathead. 'Dickey" has learned
a lot of tricks and does them at the
bidding of Mr.. Smith. When the
bird feels the need of exercise he
spreads his wings and sails about
the house-upstairs, downstairs. in
the cellar and in the attic, and never
breaks anything. 1t seems strange to
Mr.. Smith that the bird can fly with
so little wing motion, for "Dickey"
never flaps his wings, he just moves
them gently once in a while and sails
about the rooms as If he was with

about five feet from tip to tip. but

Grand total .$785, 100, 900
These large percentages of loss are
calculated according to the destruc-
ton of crops at initial and advancing
stages of growth by their successive
enemies. For example, the wheat
and corn crops would have COM
bined value of about $1,000,000,000 if
they passed through the season I'M
scathed. The root worm infiicts an
initial damage of per cent upon the
corn crop, of $20,000,000; the boil
worm affects the ears to an equal de-
gree, and chinchbugs brings the fg-
ure up to $6,OO0,O0O. while the wire,
army and cutworms, locusts, grass
hoppars, lice and other pests help to
establish the total loss of $S0,OOO,0Oo
for corn. The Hessian fly scourges
and hurts the wheat crop fully 10 per

in $40,00O000. Wheat in a single
State suffered to the extent of $780,
100000 during one year. The average
damage from grain plant lice is from
3 to 8 per cent of the value of the
crop. The detriment to wheat from
all sources is 20 per cent, or O,O00,'
900 annually.
The boil weevil, cotton-leaf worm,
and other insects inflicted 100000
900 worth of damage to the cotton
crop last year. The value of apples
shrunk by from Is to 40 per cent
through insect inroads, notably OF the
eoddling moth and the apple maggot.
There are the contingent damages,
too, to be reckoned in, such as the
1920, 1000 expended in 1904 for insect
protection in the apple orchards. The
apple crop lost in all $20,000.000 in
value. Borers and other timber pests
occasion an annual loss to farm for
ests of 100000, 900.
The big graneries and storage

insect, such as weevils, grain beetles,
and worms, to the extent of 100000,
900 year. and the annual shrinkage
Of food values in private dwelling
from these sources, which, of course,
cannot be estimated, would swell this
total considerably.
Yet it is certain that scientific
means of protection have apprecia-
