FIGHT COTTON SCALE
Injurious Insect Causing Much
Damage to Crop in Peru.
Charles II. Townsend, Government En-
tomoIogist, VIII Investigate Pest
and Inaugurate Peruvian En-
tomologist Service.

Boston, Mass.-Charles II. T. Town
send, government entomologist, who
has been connected with the expert
mental laboratory at Melrose High
lands has been granted year and a
half leave of absence in order that he
may accept position with the gov
eminent of Peru to investigate the
cotton scale which is giving that
country trouble. Mr., Townsend, with
country on October 10.
Mr.. Townsend is considered an au-
thority in entomology, and this, no
gether with his superior knowledge
of the Spanish language, is largely
responsible for his selection to inves-
tigate the insect pests in Peru.
Mr.. Townsends' trip to Peru has a
double purpose, for, besides his inves-
tigation of the cotton scale, he will
be called upon to inaugurate a Peru
Wan entomologist service. He will
choose two or more graduates from
the school of agriculture in Peru and
train them In chronological work.
In speaking of his trip Mr.. Town
send said: There is a great deal Of
agriculture carried on in Peru and
they raise a superior grade OF cotton.
The scale insect is causing a great
deal of injury to this cotton, so the
government of Peru has decided to
stamp out, ii possible, the pest.
The scale insect is new problem
in economic entomology and has proven
very difficult insect to cope with.
The Peru scale attaches itself to the
bark on the trunk and branches
Owing to the fact that the plants are
perennial the scale increases very
rapidly each year.
In Peru there are many other pests
to investigate, and these are found
ravaging in the orange and citrus
fruit groves. in the sugar cane, also
the grapes. These will be taken up
by me-"
The future work at the Melrose
Highlands labratory will be carried on
by William r. Thompson under the
direction of W. F. Fiske.

Clinton, N. john Bendig set fire
to heap of brush in his meadow to
clean 1t up, and when he was on the
way back to the barn he was startled
by tremendous kissing and whistling.
Looking back, he saw scores of long
blacksnakes gliding from the burning
brush and wriggling up into the
branches of dead oak tree. They
kept coming as long as he looked, till
the huge trunk of the tree itself
seemed to squirm with life.
Bendig hurried to Jacob Zacher's
place and got Jacobs two boys, Milton
and Warty. to go back with him to
the meadow and take their rifles along
with them. They blazed away at the
snakes as fast as they could load and
fire. and when they got through there
were 93 dead reptiles.

Boy, Victim of Overstudy, seeretes
Himself in Damp Cellar While
Parents Search for Him.

Stamford, Conn.--With rats as large
as the average sized cat scampering
about him, Michael Florin, Jr., IA
years old, lay for four nights and four
days in a dark, damp cellar at his
home, East Meadow and jefferson
streets, here. The police had sent out
general alarm concerning the boy,
his father had sought him in all the
nearby cities, and every child in the
neighbcrhood was engaged in the
search
The boys hiding place was about as
repulsive a place as could be imagined.
The floor was damp, and even in the
daytime scarcely any light penetrated
the place. By night the boy slept in
an isolated corner between beams in
a bed of rags he made for himself. In
fact, he spent most of the four days
and four nights in this little hole. He
had little food during the period and
that little came from an icebox in the
front of the cellar. Often the rats
stole this, but they never attacked the
boy, and he apparently did not fear
them. He was found by a younger
brother leaning against the icebox so
weak from hunger that he could
scarcely stand. He was put to bed
and physician was called. He did
