PARASITES FleHIiMorHs.

BOSTON. May 29.-Oyer 100 900
Notwithstanding parasites have been
let loose from the experiment station
at alelrose Highlands this month. as a
result OF the campaign innugirated, by.
the national and state agricultural
authorities against the destructive
gypsy and brown-tall moths. Four
distinct varities of parasitic flies and
beetles have been used In such ex.
pertinent.
The large colosma beetles, as well
as two other species closely allied to
them. climb the trees. seize tie cater
pillars and never let go until they have
devopred the wriggling insect. The
techinid flies lay their eggs upon the
outer skin OF the caterpillars. usually
close UP TO the head. The larvae that
hatch penetrate the skin Of The cater.
pillar and feed upon its ntestInes.
Another group Of parasites deposit
eggs inside the skin OF the caterpillar
and there is another parasite, minute
midge, that drills into the eggs OF the
caterpillar and lays its eggs inside
The larvae of the parasite feed upon
the contents of the catcrpillnr's eggs
until ready to emerge. Some of these
flies also enter the nests or winter
webs Of the brown-tail moths and there
operate upon the ALTERNATING cater
pillars during the winter months.
The scientists. say there Ia every ren
son to believe that In time these para
sites will accomplish the practical SUP
preston of the gypsy moth here as
they have in Europe.
The present experiment is regarded
rs the most important that has been
tried In the war against tho gypsy
moth.
The workers at the experiment sta
ton. who include trained naturalfsts
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 nll 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 them.
selves become fewer In number from
lack Of food supply.

GREEK DYNAMlTER
HARD TO CATCH

An Associated Press dispatch sent
out from Reno under date of August
Sth says that acting under orders,
Captain Cox of the state police and
several members Of that body left that
night for Inlay, where they will scour
the hills for Peter Claudianes and his
Greek companion, reported to be in a
deserted mill house. The captain order
ed the police to take the pair alive If
possible, but kill them if necessary to
prevent their escape. Sheriff Lamb of
Winnemucca is with the posse. Clau-
danes and companion are well armed
and told the Greeks in Inlay that they
would never be taken alive.
From inquiry at the sheriff's Office it
IS learned that Sheriff Lamb has not
been a member of any posse, and that
the only information the local officials
have on the subject has been obtained
from the newspapers.

SILVER PARTY TO
NAME A TICKET

VIRGINIA CITY, Aug. S.-The Sill
yer party-that great party which swept
Democrats have been endeavoring to
swallow for the last ten years, is not
dead, although badly d~isorganized in
many parts of the state. The part :
was in full power in Nevada, but the
leaders of it were SO repeatedly hood
winked and forgotten when it came
time for the distribution of patronage
and pap, that the Democratic wing of
the organization finally assumed full
control and tried to engulf the organ
ration. However, the silver party on
the Comstock will be in full blossom
this year and preparations are now
under way for the placing of a com
plete ticket in the field at the coming
election.
The men behind the movement are
neither Democrats or Republicans, but
earnest and sincere believers in the
$ liver cause. They point out that the
Democratic party no longer indorses
the silver question, that Bryan has
wholly deserted the proposition and
therefore the fundamental principles
of the party can only be maintained
and secured through THE silver party
z.-or.uo<.on a axnana.,anno anora-
of the old line and old-timers of the
party have assured the leaders of the
movement that they will stand by the
party, whether for success or failure
"The old fight will be made
again. said one of the local support
ers of the cause this afternoon. owe
have learned from bitter experience
hat the Democrats were not sincere
when they came to our party; we will
never be caught again.
Interest is added to the matter be
cause of the fact that Senator New.
lands and his Nevada manager, w. +
Sharon, want the silver party to quiet
ly die. Several days ago Mr.. Sharon
sent word to the leaders of the silver
party that he and Senator Newlands
would not furnish any sinews
for organization. "Not a cent fol
you-get in the Democratic line.' Mr.
Sharon is reported to have said to the
leaders The leaders. however, an
nounee that they do not need New
lands Sharon money, never expected oil
sought it and will continue their organ
i~zation and fight without it. 1t is
planned to extend the party organza
ton to all parts of the state and tn,
silver party will have nigh its pristin,
strength.

over the outlook on the Comstock
