Leopold.

The rule to speak nothing but good
OF the dead has been so religiusIv
adhered to that laudatory obituaries
are sometimes ridiculous. 1t is so in
the case of the dead King Leopold.
Any fair-mirded man who is cogni :
zant of a tenth of the facts concern
ing the dead monarch, knows that
there was so little good in his life and
reign That even his own household
thoroughly hated and despised him.
His people hated and feared him.
The world has stood aghast at the
inhuman atrocities practiced under
Leopold's orders upon the natives of
the Congo. The world has been dis
susted by his treatment of the mem
bers of his family. The little nation
he governed was prosperous and han
py when he took charge. Now it is
oecadent and the only considerabl
fortune left intact is that which the
KING had gathered to himself. Leo
pold is dead. Belgium should be
thankful. The Congo natives should
be thankful. The rest of the world
should join in expressing satisfaction
that society has been freed from the
presence of such a monster.

Deeper Waterways.

Congressman Moore of Pennsylvania
in his remarks before the Atlantic
Deeper Waterways Association in an
nual convention at Norfolk. presented
few of the reasons why the govern
ment should spend a large sum of
money in improving sheltering wa
terway along the Atlantic coast from
Massachusetts to North Carolina and
thence down the coast to the Rio
Grande. The principal reasons seem
to be that the proposed waterways
obviate the necessity of carrying ship
ping around Cape Hatteras during the
stormy season of the year and would
perform similar service for the ship
ping which now goes around Cape
Cod. Thus two of the greatest danger
points for winter water transportation
would be eliminated. 1t is pointed
out that aside from these two principle
danger points there are others which
are dangerous to all but large craft
and that in view of the tremendous in
crease in the number Of motor boats
yachts and others minor vessels. ar
expenditure which would enable then
to cruise along the Atlantic Coast ir
sheltered waters at all times is rea
sonable.
Mr.. Moore also presents an argu
ment for the improvement of our in
land waterways, saying that there il
no doubt that if large proportion
of the bulky freight could be diverted
to the waterways that the railroad
would be better able to care for tn
higher priced freight and passenge

would go far toward eliminating the

coined by the railroads for that rea-

FIGHTING the Pests.

I Massachusetts is fighting the gypsy
and brown tail moths with parasites
and is having some success, according
to reports made at a meeting of the
Massachusetts Forestry Association.
Within the confines of the state there
are about so varieties, ten of which
are enemies to both the gypsy and
brown tail. The others have shown
preference for one moth or the other
at some stage in its development.
Some attack the eggs. some the cater
| pillar and others the moth.
The patience necessary to enable
| these parasites to gain foothold in
| strange land is Illustrated by the ex-
| perience with the schedius, name
| which has been assigned a parasite of
very minute size, but which is proving
very efficient. It's home is Japan and
in the first shipment from that coun-
try but II lived to reach Massachu-
sets. From these little strangers $50
native born schediuses were obtained.
The succeeding generations were more
prolific until there are 100000 ready
for distribution next spring. The lit
tie fellows feed upon the egg clusters,
but do not penetrate below the top
layer, so that a portion of the moths
escape.
Another parasite is the monodon-
related that the first lot. which was
liberated three years ago Immediately
disappeared and no trace OF it could
be found 1t was discovered, finally.
that it had spread over an area of 500
square miles, but was SO minute that
it could not be seen with the naked
eye. One in every 500 pupas sue
cumbed to this little fellow.
A third enemy of the pest is the
predoceous BEETLE, already somewhat
familiar to residents of the infested
regions. The BEETLE gives its atten-
WIN " lllC CdtCI pllldI anu tears IL
into shreds at the rate of many thou
sands every day.
The plan Of fighting gypsy and
brown tail moths with parasites from
Europe and other parts of the world
seems to be working we'll in Massa-
Another enemy to the
moths are the birds, but there is some
doubt about the ability to sufficiently
protect the birds to bring about their
increase to a point where they could
successfully cope with them.
In Maine we are fighting them ac-
cording to the most approved meth
DDS and great progress is being made.
The greatest danger of infection is
from Massachusetts and New Hamp-
shire and the strength of the bug
hunters is concentrated at the border.
II the moths ever gain a foothold in
northern Maine it will ruin the States
richest possessions, her Forests and or
chards. If the parasites turn out to be
efficient in Massachusetts. thew will
probably be given a trial here.
