FIGHT MOTHS,
BEETLES CLIMBING TREES

Boston, May 29.-Over 100000 moth
destroying parasites have been let
loose from the experient station at
Melrose Highlands this month, as
result of the campaign inaugurated by
the national and state agricultural
authorities against the destructive
gypsy and brown-tail moths. Four
distinct varieties of parasite flies and
beetles have been used in such exper-
iment.
The large colosma beetles, as well as
two other species closely allied to
them, climb the tree, seize the cater
pillars and never let go until they
have devoured the wriggling insect.
The tachinid flies lay their eggs upon
the outer skin of the caterpillars, u.s.
ually close. up to the head. The lar
vac that hatch penetrate the skin of
the caterpillar and feed upon its intes
tines.
Another group of parasites deposit
eggs inside the skin of the caterpillar,
and there is another parasite, minute
nudge, that drills into the eggs of the
caterpillar and lays it's eggs inside
The larvae of the parasite feed upon
the contents of the caterpillar's eggs

A midnight tragedy took place in
mysterious circumstances in Paris the
night before last Some six months
ago the proprietor of small bar in
the French capital sold out his bust
ness and retired to the suburb Of
Courbevoie. He frequently went to
Paris in the evening to dine with his
daughter and son-in-law, and about
three months ago when returning one
night was attacked by Apaches and
stabbed in seven places before assist
ance arrived.
The day before yesterday he said to
his wife that he was going to dine in
the city as usual, but his son-in-law
never saw him. Toward midnight a
boatman on one of the barges anchored
in the Seine was suddenly awakened
out of sleep by cries for help from q
man in the water.
1t was the resident of Courbevoie
who said he had been attacked by
three men who robbed him of his purse
and watch, and then flung him into
the river. Then he became uncon

Paris, May 29.---M. Adrien -vely the
well known Paris journalist has dis
covered way of finding out whether
the Kaiser is in warlike or peace
able mood by looking at his mustache.
In the "Gaulois" he says the other
day: when Emperor William wanted
to make Europe understand that he
intended to keep his powder dry and
his sword sharp he sent for his court
barber and ordered him to turn his
mustache upward until it resembled
two bayonets. Unto that day he had
always worn dropping and silky
mustache This is a historical fact.
Today his ideas are no longer the
same. He wants to appear in the
eyes of Europe as an angel of peace
and love, and to emphasize this he
has now changed the shape of his
mustache so that it looks as it did in
his younger days.
The mustache of Emperor William
is indeed a political barometer ant
all that the diplomats need to do is
to keep themselves posted by snap
shots taken of the Emperor and they
will know from where the wind blows
This will be far more readable and fal
less troublesome than interviews ant
conferences.

During the equestrian performance
a number of ladies in the front stood

until ready to emerge. Some of these
flies also enter the nests or winter webs
OF the brown-tail moths and there oper-
ate upon the alternating caterpillars
during the winter months.
The scientists say.there is every rea-
son to believe that in time these para
site will accomplish the practical sup
preston of the gypsy moth here as
they have in Europe.
The present experiment is regarded
as the most important that has been
tried in the war against the gypsy
moth.
The workers at the experiment sta
ton, who include trained naturalists
from the Department of Agriculture in
Washington, assert that there is no
likelihood that the parasites them
selves will prove to be undesirable
additions to New England insect life,
as all the imported species which are
found to be in any way dangerous
have been rejected. 1t is the theory
of the scientists that after the para
sites have reduced the ranks of the
gypsy and brown-tail moths they will
themselves become fewer in number
from lack of food.
