DRoMEDARIEs OWE US A DEBT

THE dromedaries of Algeria ought to feel un-
l. der considerable obligation to our Burea u
of Insects for efforts in their behalf. For long
time they have been suffering from a peculiar
disease. carried by gadfies, which thins their
blood and makes them weak; but the United
States Government hopes to cure them by de-
stroying these winged enemies.
Cattle and horses in the Southern States suffer
much from similar malady which is conveyed
from sick animal to healthy one-the blood
parasite that causes it, that is to say-by such
biting flies. But in that part of the country
there are certain waSpS that destroy gadf1ies
whose work in this line is SO effective that they
are popularity known as horseguards"
special study of the matter was made by an
expert under the direction of the Bureau of In
sects, at the Gulf Biological Station, in Louisi
ana. and thorough knowledge was obtained of
the life history and habits of one species OF
these wasps The insects in question are sand
diggers. and. by seeking sandy place where
they were abundant, the expert was able to OBJ
tain from their underground nests many of
their cocoons as he wanted
The cocoons, containing wasps, were packed
in refrigerator baskets (Which are somewhat
like market baskets with tin compartment to
hold ice), and were shipped from New Orleans
to Havre Another batch went to the same des-
tination by way of New York. But all of them
were forwarded as promptly as possible to Al
giers. where they arrived in excellent condition.
There suitable sandy spot having been Sc
lected, they were planted.
1t remains to be seen what will happen next
There is every reason to suppose that the wasps
will prosper in Algeria, and if such proves to be
the case, they will certainly attack the gadf1ies
slaughtering them wholesale and perhaps saw
ing the lives of MANY dromedaries. Such, at all
events is the present hope.

New York City-Every city in the
United States where three or four
Chinese can be gathered together in
a Sunday-school has girl trap like
that in which Elsie Sigel went to her
death. ,
Wherever the crafty William Leon,
or Leung Linn, to give his Chinese
name, goes in his fight he will be
aided by kindred spirits willing to do
all they can for him, because they
can never know when they will be in
the same predicament..
A Chinaman hunt is not at all like
an ordinary man hunt, where all hon
know about the murderer's where
abouts. Every Chinese community
has its clique of criminals, willing
and eager to protect any fellow coun-
tryman the police happen to want,
and always blandly misunderstanding
every question that is put to them.
Elsie Sigel's fate awaits, almost
certainly, every white girl who per-
mits herself to get into the power of
the Snug, psalm-singing Christian
lied" Chinese who frequent the Chi
nese Sunday-schools. Such tragedies
are grewsomely familiar on the Pa
cific Coast, where of late the Chinese
mission is looked upon with severe
disfavor. 1t was long ago discovered
there that when q Sunday-school was
taught by men the Oriental zeal for a
new religion became suddenly cooled.
When Father Mclaughlin, now of
New Rochelle, was in charge of a
Mott street church company of Chi
nese came to him and politely re-
quested that he establish Sunday
school for their benefit. Father Nc
Laughlin assented, and being man
of wisdom announced that he would
teach 1t himself. When his yellow
visitors requested that they be taught
by young white girls he Indignantly

Every man who has been brought

Berlin.-The newspapers here de-
scribe the murder of Elsie Sigel in
New York as tragedy which could
have been enacted only in religio-
sexual atmosphere peculiar to Amer
ica. Says one newspaper:
"If the scandals that involved
Prince Philip zu Gutenberg and the
knights of the Round Table were
characteristic of Germany, it can be
said with equal truth that the trag-
edies arising out of this weird and
unhealthy mixture of religious pas
sion and sexual passion are charac-
teristic of America.
Germany" it adds, "can learn a
lesson from decadents on the other
side of the Atlantic-not to permit
pietists to be too prominent in lead
ing social usage; not to set up a
wholly artificial standard of moral
ity."
