\ PEST.

The state agents OF the New York
department Of agriculture are en-
gagged in a serious contest with the
brown tail moth" which is one Of
the most perplexing insect foes that
the people OF that section of the
country have to deal with But a
kerosene torch solves the problem.
This particular foe d oes not di
rectly assail either the health, the
pockets or the morals of the people.
II devours foliage with a hunger so
ravenous that the places where It has
passed are blighted as by fire or
frost. Large sums OF money have
been spent in Massachusetts in re-
sisting the multiplication of the pest,
and New York does welt to form its
battle line early.
II all the devouring evils and cor
roding wrongs that afflict mankind
could be recognized, classified and
fought as this unwelcome visitor has
been, what wonderful progress there
would be and how radically would the
conditions of life he changed!

the SO called aumwrltten law which
II says presents a phase Of our crimi-
nal Jurisprudence which Is worthy of
note. Tho prosecuting attorney in
the examination Of prospective Jurors
to try u man who slew his nephew IN
Il court where he was being arraigned
for a crime against his murderer's
wife. placed the issue OF the unwfitten
law sduarely before the talesmen,
ASKING them point blank II they be
lfeNed in the principle Of the elastic
defense which Mr.. Delmas called
.'dementia americana II the jurors
replied that They would give the de
Tense weight, they We're challenged
and the trial Judge sustained the
challenge. declaring that such a de
tense was not IN accordance with the
statutes and had no legal standing
whatever. even though a man slew
for q crime against his own wife.
This decisive enunciation of a prin
cipIc which commcnds itself 20 alt
law-ahidinE citizens is timely. In view
Of the increasing frequency with which
the pernicious defense Is involved, II
is q vigorous statement Of he theory
