ROME, H BUILDER
ITS HISTORY RECORDS sUsJueA-
TON OF BARBARiTY.
Foreign Peoples Were Brought Un-
der Ideal Government to the Sat
isfaction Of All-Italy and GauI
Both Cases In Point.

} How Roman civilization stretched
out its tendrils from the t%hrobbing
nerve center, Rome, and brought into
peaceful subjugation the barbarity of
all Europe, supplanting tribal rule
with municipal culture, without once
%outraging the traditions of the con-
quered tribes, was the story told by
Prof. James Smith Reid of the Uni
versity of Cambridge, England. before
the Lowell institute in his lecture on
the municipal side of the Roman IN
pire.
Prof. Reid declared that the idea
which once was SO widespread among
historians and students of Roman con-
ditions that the Romans maintained
but n form of government for the
cities has been o%verthrown by new
evidences on the subject in the form
of fragments of various forms of
codes of municipal law. A notable
example, the one where the most com
iplete code remains to %posterity, is the
old Greek city of Tarentum. whose
municipal code when it came under
the Roman franchise is practically
complete. The Romans would not lay
down a general rule for the govern
ment of their municipalities, but each
was adapted to the needs of the COM
Imunity and the phase of its civiliza
tion.
Scholars little recognize the amount
of work which the Romans had to do
In civilizing Italy itself. Without in
any way practicing tyranny the Ro-
mans first Latinized and then Roman
lied the cities coming under their
sway. Under Augustus the municipal
transformation of. the Roman empire
was carried on at a rapid pace. The
methods employed were elestic. Gaul
was an evidence of the justice and toll
,erence of the Roman jurisdiction, its
chiefs accepting the Roman culture
with a preparedness which was due to
their Greek learning derived from the
Hellenic city of Marseilles in south
'ern France and the other, Greek cities
which spread down the, Spanish coast.
The Romans handled tenderly the ira
ditions of the tribes of the region, de-
pending upon gradual civilization rath-
er than the forcing Of their customs
upon the people.
Many important towns and cities of
modern, France have risen from these
original Roman cities, Paris itself de.
irving Its name the tribe of PARISH.

Gruesome Spot to 30 Eliminated.

Gruesome Spot to Be Eliminated.
The most tragic spot in all Glasgow
ts a small, packed courtyard which
forms the center Of the Judiciary
buildings in Jail square. Not more
than a hundred feet each way, this
plot of ground contains the bones Of
almost 20 murderers and others who
met a shameful death on the gallows.
But this spot will soon be altogether
,obliterated. The renovation Of the
judiciary buildings is soon to be com.
menced and in a short time this court,
yard, of sad and sinful memory, will
be blotted out by new and handsome
structures.

RUGS TO EAT MOTHS.
Massachusetts Forestry Depart
ment Begins War on Pest.
Believed That Problem Of Destruction
by Parasite Has Been Discovered
-Most Feroclous ls Preda-
ceous Beetle.

Boston, Mass.-The woods will be
full of gypsy and brown-tail moth para
sites next summer, for the moth di,
vision Of the state forestry department
already has on hand at the experiment
laboratory in saugus between 40 and
80 different kinds of them to be re.
leased during the heydays of the
pests.
!; The forestry department believes
that 1t has solved the problem of moth
destruction by parasite. and that from
next summer the work Of the moths
natural enemies will do what men
have been unable to accomplish in the
work of determination.
: Forester Frank w. Rabe does nov
expect the moths ever to be complete
'ly destroyed, but he does believe they
will be reduced to a point where their
damage is minimum.
w. F. Fiske, who has charge of the
laboratory at Sugus, says that of the
two score or more Of parasites to DO
released last summer, ten show no
preference between the gypsy or the
'brown-tail. devouring both with evil
dent ejoyment. The remainder are
exclusive In their tastes.
!. It has been discovered that the
jcycle of the parasites activity, WITH
one or two exceptions, is about ten
days. Each has his specially during
that time. One may attack the eggs.
another the caterpillar, and a third
the moth itself, but no one has yet
been found that is available for a
general campaign.
One of the most ferocious of the
parasites now on hand is the large
'predaceous beetle. which attacks the
gypsy moth caterpillar, tearing 1t to
pieces. It's ability to kill is measured
only by the time at its disposal. It ia
a particularly desirable parasite for q
number of different reasons. not the
least of which is that the female
raises a family of 500 children in a
season. Another desirable feature OF
the predaceous beetle is the fact that
1t lives to be three years old.
There Is also the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
q parasite so small that individuals
can hardly be seen by the naked eye
This little fellow Is voracious out Of
all proportion to his size, however
and his particular fodder is the pups
of the gypsy moth.
The managers Of the Saugus labora
tory imported the monodontoneroue
from Europe in 1906, and the first con
;signment was liberated in the same
iyear.
Very soon the colony was lost, and
not a trace of it was cen for three
years. Last summer it was located
and the entomologists discovered that
1t had spread and had covered an area
Of 500 square miles, over all which II
was doing excellent work for the for
estry department.
Another of the gypsy moth parasites
is the schedius, an immigrant from
Japan which has a scheme of its owl
for working destruction. The female
deposits its eggs among the eggs Of
the gypsy moth eggs. The larvs
matches and feeds. developing to the
pupa stage before leaving the gypsy
moth egg. There will be liberated
from the Saugus laboratories about
1000, 900 of the schedius parasites.

For Concerted Action.

Opposition to the rule, If issued and
enforced, may take the form of whole
sale designations from the service. Or
it might take the form OF concerted
action, the effect of which would be
akin to a strike. Many assertions
from the service in this section have
already resulted, it is declared, from
the onerous conditions imposed by
the department, which, it is said, have
grown steadily more severe.

Miguel Davila and the policies he

alarm felt in Tegucigalpa over the
prospect of fighting, but it is lessen
ed by the belief that when Manuel
Bonilla and Lee Christmas march in
to town at the head of their troops
they will meet little resistance.
While the revolution was not to be-
gin officially until Sunday morning,
the element, comprising the strange
army refused to be held longer in
leash, and the start on the capital was
made Yesterday, The vanguard met
with resistance all along the Near
