NEW HAMPSHIRE NOTES.
Searching for the Gypsy Moths.

Harry l.. Mcintyre OF the United States
agricultural department is at present
making his headquarters in Cheshire
county and with five other department
employees Is making a careful search for
the nests OF the gypsy moth; the depart
ment has over SO men engaged in this
work in New Hampshire. They devote
their attention to hunting the gypsy
moth alone, the supposition being that
the state authorities under Col. Thomas
Dearborn will take care OF the brown
tail moths, The towns in Cheshire county
that have been worked the past week are
Keene. Dublin and Swanzey, and only
one infestation was found. that being in
Dublin. Many brown tail nests were
found, however. The men are instructed
to search carefully for gypsy nests on all
fruit trees wherever found and on all
hard wood trees that can be reasona bly,
examined. Every nest found is treated
with creosote which kills the eggs. The
gypsy females cannot fly and are carried
from place to place. Many Of the New
Hampshire infestations have been found
where city people go for the summer and
near the railroads, the moths being
brought on cars, teams, goods, cases, etc.

A GIFT OF MEAD'S RECORDING ANGEL
Famous Statue First Cast Snow to Be Reproduced in Marble
for Unitarian Church Memorial to Henry Augustus Willard
and Sarah Bradley Willard

It was a noble conception; the young
sculptor had evidently endeavored to en-
body the serious thought which visits us
while we look backward and forward from
the line which separates a closing and a
dying year. The passing schoolboy was
awed for once, as he viewed the result on
adept handling of the elements with which
he was so roughly familiar, and the
thought OF snowballing so beautiful an
object could never have dwelt in his
mind. 1t is related that the village sim
pleton was frightened and ran away and
one eccentric citizen, who rarely deigned
to bow to his fellowmen or women either.
lifted his hat in respect after he had
gazed moment upon Meads work.
protected by the cold weather and
the respect generally accorded to genius,
the Image stood on the street until the
usual January thaw set in TO which It
naturally succumbed. During the fort
night, however, many people came from
surrounding towns and some even from
distant cities to visit it. The New York
Tribune and the Springfield Republican
had interesting descriptions of the twice
seven days wonder. and the exploit was
considered worthy of notice even in the
newspapers of foreign lands. One of the
city papers said of it: AS a first work
and in the highest point-the genius
to conceive and the art to express the
SBiiib VI lHO ItNOlulliB dUBtl-lN1S Is a
success. The record of the year is made
up, is finished, and the angel seems lost
in meditation
The founda ton of fame was laid for
Iarkin C. Mead. For two years previous
to this striking home evidence of genius,
Mead had been studying in New York
with Sculptor Henry X. Brown, a native
of Leyden, Mass, but his return home,
with his work on the snow image was
probably necessary to thoroughly satisfy
his fellow townspeople that Mead was
cut out for something more than a mer-
camille man, for such he was before he
went to New York to study.
But the fame OF Mead's snow and ice
work, spreading far and wide, attracted
the attention of Nicholas Longworth Of
Cincinnati, who wrote at once, inquiring
about Mead's character and prospects.
He then gave him a commission to exc
cute the statue of the Recording Angel
in marble and this was followed by
private family order from another party
! for the bust of a relative. Mr.. Longworth
generously ordered the bust Recording
Angel to be sold for the benefit of the
sculptor, he having previously furnished
the funds with which Mead should do the
work. The statue now stands in the ro-
tunda of the capitol at Washington"

Crawford Range Foundry Additions Com
pIeted-Finest In the World.

The additions that have been in prog
ress at the plant of the Walker & Pratt
Manufacturing company, makers of Craw-
ford ranges, boilers and heaters. at Wat
ertown, Mass, are now completed and
will give increased capacity of 33 1-3 per
cent of output.
This foundry has been conceded to be
the finest of its kind in the world and
with its new equipment that claim can
be made with increased emphasis.
The demand for the Crawford goods
resulting from the liberal advertising and
special features of merit of these prod
ucts have made it necessary to enlarge
the plant four times within the past ten
years.
The sales which were formerly confined
to New England are now extending to
other parts Of the country and this in
dustry now occupies a position of ma
tional Importance and interest.

Farm House Burned Near keene.

The large farm house belonging to Carl
johnson on the Chesterfield road about
four miles from Keene was burned Sat
urday night. The fire is supposed to
have caught in the woodshed which ad-
joined the house. The cause is unknown.
The house contained l6 large rooms and
the main part was IS feet by 40 feet,
two stories high, while the ell was about
80 feet by Is feet. Mr.. johnson was away
when the fire was discovered by his
wife and then the house was in mass
of flames and nothing could be saved
except three chairs. There were three
persons in the house and they had barely
time to dress and escape. The fremen
had a long run, but they succeeded in
saving a large COW barn, and a horse
barn, which We're located about 80 feet
from the ell. Mr.. Johnson estimates his
loss at about S6OOO, partly covered by
insurance. He expects to rebuild.

Announcement was made in the Unita-
rian church Sunday morning of a val
liable gift which will come into the
possession of the church in due time.
1t is a replica of the Snow Angel or
Recording Angel" which started Larkin
G. Mead on the road to fame as sculp-
tor, and 1t will be presented by Henry
X. Willard of Washington as memorial
to his father and mother, Henry August
us Willard and Sarah Bradley Willard.
Henry K Willard, who is travelling in
Europe, has written to a Brattleboro
friend and member of the Unitarian par
ish that he has visited Mr.. Mead at his
home in Florence, Italy, and has com
missioned him to reproduce in marble
the Snow Angel which he moulded In
snow on the last night of the year 1856,
near where the Wells fountain now
stands, to be placed in the church for
the purpose as above stated. At the
close of the Sunday morning service
Rev +. O. S. Osgood read from the
letter the announcement of the gift,
and an informal acceptance of it was
made. An official acceptance will be
made later
In his letter Mr.. Willard stated that
it was Mr. Mead's desire that the rep
lica be placed on exhibition in the Brooks
Free library building and that he had
agreed to have 1t so placed. Nothing
was said as to how long 1t should remain
there, nor was it stated what the di-
mansions of the Statue would be nor
when it probably would arrive. 1t will be
accompanied by an alabaster pedestal.
1t is very gracious and kindly act for
Mr.. Willard to present the statue, and
it is particularly fitting that there should
be permanently preserved in this town
copy of the first important work of the
towns famous sculptor.
Mrs, Willard was the daughter of Judge
Daniel Kellogg and Neral Ann Bradley
and was born in SaXtons River. Her
mother, who was a daughter of Hon.
William c. Bradley, distinguished Yer
mont lawyer, was an attendant at the
Unitarian church while she lived in Brat
tleboro and was much attached to that
church Mr.. Willard was native of
Westminster and at one time he was
clerk in Chase's hotel in Brattleboro,
but the greater part of his life was spent
in Washington, where he was in the
hotel business and was one of the fore
most residents of the city. He was a
son of Joseph and Susan Dorr Clapp
Willard. He died in Walpole. n. H, Dec.
4, 1909, one month after the death of
Mrs. Willard, which occurred in Wash
ington. Memorial windows have been
placed by their son in the church, which
they attended in Washington.

Theodore Roosevelt, in the June Scrib-
ner, has one of the most dramatic chap
tiers of his African narrative. 1t de-
scrlbes elephant hunting-the most diff
hcult of all the hunts which he made in
the past year and one of the most sue
cessful. The region on the slopes of
Mount Kenia was picturesque and inspir-
ing. The strange wild bushmen who
helped in the tracking were very near to
primitive man; and the actual finding OF
the elephants and the narrow escape
from the charging herd is a dramatic
climax in a hunting trip filled with ex-
element.

street, Keene. was blown open early
Friday morning The work is thought
to have been done by professionals. The
safe contained nothing of value. People
living in the vicinity of the mill heard
an automobile drive by about l o'clock,
shortly after which noises as of an ex-
plosion were heard. Nothing further was
thought about the matter until the book
keeper went to the mill about o'clock
when he noticed that the curtains were
drawn up and on investigation found
both doors of the safe in the private
office were blown off.
