Immediate cause for ALARM stated
Prof f. F. Hitchings of Waterville,
the state entOmolOgist, in discussing
the Gypsy moth situation in Maine
Saturday ut is true that the territory
has seemingly been extended, that is,
that new infestations have been found
that didn't show up last year." he con-
tinued, but this is more on account
of not having had time to cover the
territory last year. than for any new
invasion. The infestation which was
discovered in Saco during the early
summer was not a new infeStation as
it shows that it must have been there
for q year or two years but escaped
observation by the scouts. II one re-
members the facts in the life history
of the insect they would not be sur
priscd that an infestation might be dis
covered by accident at any time. In a
wooded section it would be a wonder if
all the infestations should be found for
a number Of years successfully but
as a rule we feel that the expert men
employed in the work have done all
that possibly could have been done in
uloCOtcIIIiS lHt HltliiS pIdCtS VI lillo
pest. This apples more particularly to
the Gypsy moth as their life history
and habits are very distinct from any
other insect with which we have to
deal.
1T is natural for female moth to
secrete her eggs and they are found by
the scouts in all sorts of inaccessible
places so that it requires quite an eX
perience before a man becomes an ex-
pert in the line of discovering these
out-of-the-wa places.
1T is true that We are hampered by
smaller appropriation than was an
ticipated, but this has not deferred the
field force under the charge of Capt.
+. f. Philbrook from doing just
as thorough work as they have
ever done before. Every man in the
field feels that there is an individual
responsibility resting on him.
"'rne brown tail moth situation is
all that could be expected when we con-
slider the tight which occurred in July
from our neighboring state of Now

Good Security.

Mister, do you lend money here?'
asked an earnest young voice at the
office door.
The lawyer turned away from his
desk, confronted clear-eyed, poorly
dressed lad of twelve years, and
studied him keenly for a minute.
Sometimes we doom good security"
he said gravely.
The little fellow explained he haa
a chance ito buy out a boy that's cry
in papers," He had half the money re-
quired, but he needed to borrow the
other fifteen cents.
What security can you offer?" asked
the lawyer.
The boys brown hand sought his
pocket and drew out paper carefully
folded in a bit of calico. 1t was a
cheaply printed pledge against the use
of intoxicating liquors and tobacco.
AS respectfully as if it had been the
deed to a farm the lawyer examined
it, accepted, it and handed over the
required sum.
A friend who had watched the trans
action with some amusement laughed
as the young borrower departed
You think I know nothing about
him?' smiled the lawyer Il know
that he came manfully in what he sup
posed to be a business way and tried
to negotiate a loan instead of begging
the money. l know that he had been
under good influence or he would not
have signed that pledge. and that he
does not hold it lightly, or he would
not have cared for it so carefully. I

character to offer as security. Elk

Earthquake Proof.

The earthquake proof building Of
Professor Boermel rests in a massive
bowl, and has a rocking foundation
with a curved bottom surface of some
what less radius than that of the bowl.
A half-spherical pivot fits into a cup
bearing at the center. At eight points
near the outside of the bowl are spring
buffers. which keep the house or other
building from being canted too freely
and lessen the force of any shocks
transmitted. The structure on this
foundation is to have a light steel
framework, and is expected to resist
the seyerest earthquakes. B

Hampshire. The fungus disease, which
was so effective last season, especially
in the towns of Kittery, Eliot and
York, did not appear to such an extent
this year owing principally to climatic
conditions. The flight this year was
more extended than last year, that is,
it covered longer perod, and there
seemed to be an unusual number of fe-
males in the flight which were attract
ed to the lights. This was true, espe-
clally, towards the last of'the flight. l
account for this on the ground that the
first heavy flight was from moths
at "a distance and they were principally
males, while the later flights must have
come from more local sections and in
these the females were quite prevalent.
