Our Betrayal by Small Things.

At the battle of Aboukir, the VIC

Abercrombie, was mortally wounded.
In the very hour of triumph be was
laid down on the deck of one Of his
battle ships to die. AS he lay there
one of the surgeons, noticing that he
was in discomfort, took blanket from
one of the soldiers standing by. and
rolling it up into pillow, placed it
under Sir Ralph's head. The dying
general instantly felt the relief, and
opening his eyes and looking up, he
said:-
What did you do to me, surgeon?"

head, Sir Ralph" was the surgeon s
reply.
"Whose blanket was it2"
"Only one of the private soldiers. ;

The Sphinx No More a Mystery.

Scientists Of Washington confirm
the reports which have been IN Gil.
culation recently to the effect that the
mystery surrounding the Sphinx has
been solved. At the Smithsonian In
stitution it was said that the stone
enigma of the desert was nothing
more than gigantic image of Ra-
Harmachis, the god of morning and
the conqueror of darkness; hence it
faces the east. This discovery was
made recently by means Of the In
scriptions that were found on the
walls of temple which was unearthed
by eIcavators.
Scholars uncovered the foundations
of the great statue, and have brought
to light many interesting features
which until recently were unknown.
The temple surrounding the base was
intended for the worship Of Harma-
CHS. and several chambers bewn in
the rock were the tombs Of kings and
priests devoted to his worship. In
1896 there was discovered stone
cap with sacred asp carved on the
forehead, which once covered the head
of the Sphinx like a royal helmet, and
must have added immensely 10 its
grandeur, particularly ifit was Gilded,
as it is believed it was.
The Sphinx is not an indePen lent
structure. The body and head are
actually hewn out Of the solid rock,
but much sandstone masonry was built
in to make the outlines perfect and TO
cover any defects in the material.
This reinforcement of the original
rock is now very apparent to a close
observer, but originally it was con-
cealed, for scientists believe that the
entire image was once covered with
enamel. Indeed, it is possible even
now to find fragments still adhering
to the surface which resemble poIee-
lain tiles found in tombs and the ru-
ins of the ancient pslaes. Several
private collectors and some museums
have large blocks Of most brilliant
coloring and artistic design, and from
them we can imagine what an impos'
ing spectacle the great statue must
have been before the Persians and the
Mohammedsns destroyed its glory.
While it is still an impressive pic.
ture, it has no beauty whatever. The
nose, the lips and other features have
beer mutilated by vandsls.

closing in on the central portions, and
still keeping watch along the bOr-
ders, they succeeded in thus drawing
line around the infested district,
and preventing any spread of the
creatures.
The minutest care, however, had to
be taken. It was found that cater
pillars dropped from trees on carriages
passing beneath, and thus were car
ried long distances. Others crswled
on overcoats or bonnets, and were
given a free ride out Of quarantine.
But people soon learned to look out
for such strays, and kill them prompt

chusetts was stirred up over the sub
ject.
Il was found that the caterplllars,
after feeding, liked to retreat to holes
or dark places. So over three mil
lion trees were banded with burlsp,
and the caterpillsrs collecting under
the bands were destroyed by regular
ly-inspecting gangs of workmen in
charge Whole acres of trees, ruined
by the moths, were burned, or cut
down, but here and there green tree
was left standing or planted in, to
collect the hungry, homeless caterpil-
lars. The clusters of eggs were
sought out, in stone walls, on fences,
in thlckets, and treated with kero-
sene spray, or burning oil. In the
North Saugus woods, in 1897 ever
three million and half caterpillars
were found and destroyed. Next
year there were but quarter Of a
million, and now the moth is reported
Every rare" in that section. So the
work goes on, by patient, unwearying
labor in every month in the year, ac-
cording to whether eggs, caterplllars,
or moths are in season. There is no
close season in hunting the gypsy
moth, and determination is the motto
of the hunters.
Maiden, Medford, and Everett are
still tee nically known as infested
territory" after fourteen years work.
But one thing is certain-the pest is
under control. The probabilities of
determination are brighter as the
skilled workmen grow to know every
acre of woodland, and detect egg
clusters in the most out.of-the- way
plat es. Eternal vigilance is truly
the price of freedom from the gypsy
moth; but freedom is possible, and
as between the Massachusetts, Yankee
and the European moth, We are in
clined to consider the latter's chances
of final survival decidedly small.

A State Fighting a Moth.

One of the most extraordinary sto-
ries in all natural history is the fight
of Massachusetts with the gypsy moth.
"a fight begun fourteen years ago,
and still going relentlessly on. The
tale begins with an enthusiastic but
careless French scientist, who lived
at Glenwood, near Boston, in 1878,
and who imported some gypsy moths
from Europe Though they were known
as "pest-insects'') with the Utopian
idea of crossing them with the silk
worm moth, and obtaining hardy
caterpillar that could flourish in the
open air and spin marketable silk
cocoon. This idea proved to be abb
surdly impossible, but before he gave
it up many gypsy moth caterpillars
escaped from the fragile netted cages
where he reared them, reached the
Glenwood trees, and thence spread to
Medford. By 1881, their ravages
were noticeable in the woods. By
1889, it was reported to the Massa-
chusetts Board of Agriculture that
"the citizens of Medford relate the
most alarming experiences. They
tell of shrubbery and flowers ruined
of gardens despoiled of corn, small
fruits, and Vegetables; of fruit, shade,
and forest trees stripped of their foh-
age and finally destroyed of homes
filthy with the pest; ofhouses, fences,
and walls covered with the trooping
battalions OF caterpillars; of the
crawling of the disgusting creatures
into their houses, where they swarmed
on house plants, crept in closets, upon
the persons of the inmates, and even
into the beds; of the peoples una
vailing efforts to check the march of
the ravening host with fire, hot water,
and coal oil, in spite Of which the
pest grew worse year by year till an
appeal was made by the town author
tiles. The town not being able to
cope with it, the State is applied to
for aid" The appeal was not in vain ;
and in 1890, stat commission for
fighting the gypsy moth was appoint
ed with two hundred thousand dol
lars a year to do it with. This
seemed, perhaps. large sum, but it
was found, upon the most conserva-
tive calculation, that million dollars
worth Of property year would be de-
stroyed, quite surely, by the moths if
they were allowed to flourish un-
checked.
The first thing to do was to know
all about the gypsy moth, and go find
the joints in its armor. The more
knowledge, at the beginning, the more
encouragement. The new pest was
not eaten By any bird it could stand
any weather it thrived on every
kind Of Vegetable; and it apparently
was much stronger and more vigorous
in its new home than in its native
haunts in Europe. But at last one
fact was learned that gave hope. The
female gypsy moth, though possessing
wings, was unable or unwilling to fly.
1t laid its eggs soon after Matching
and then died. 1t was evident, there
fore, that the travels of the pest were
limited by the crawling powers OF the
caterpillar and the female moth. The
commission acted at once on this I'M
pOrtant fact. Beginning on the out
skirts Of the plague, where the colo
MES were feeblest and fartbest be-
tween, they began to destroy eggs,
caterpillars, and moths. till the moth
was pretty well e1terminated. Then,
