in Boston. During 1909 the writer
was informed of its occurrence in
Providence, r. l., and also that many
of the fine elms of Cambridge, Mass,
were threatened with destruction by
this insect. The leopard moth is re-
ported by Professor Smith as occur

]. AS 1t first appeared in Hoboken, N.
j., II will be seen that like many other
European insects introduced into this
country II has spread northward much
more rapidly than in any other direc-
ton.
The position OF the caterpillars tun-
neling in the branches, especially
when they are in the tops OF large
trees, render them exceedingly diff
cult to reach. If the trees are pruned
or otherwise gone over Systematically
ever year or two the burrows will GER
tainly be detected and can be treated
by injecting few drops OF carbon
disulphide from an oil can into each
and closing the opening with clay, put
ty, grating wax or newly made hard
soap. The poisonous fumes penetrate
throughout the galleries and will kill
the borers therein.
Whiting branches indicate the pres
ence of the borers and should be re-
moved and destroyed. All twigs and
limbs that break off during storms
should be gathered and burned, thus
destroying many OF the borers in their
tunnels. All female moths should be
destroyed wherever found

by w. f. BRITToN. Phi. D., Entomolo-
gist. Connecticut Agricultural EX-
pertinent Station.)
A brief note was printed in the last
report of this station regarding the oc-
,urrence of the leopard moth in Con-
aecticut. Since this note was pub
ished considerable evidence has been
brought to our attention of serious
damage to shade trees, especially
slms, by this insect. Pruning of the
:rees and especially the removal OF
dead branches reveals the tunnels OF
the leopard moth larva, which is a
oorer in the branches and trunks OF
many species of broad-leaved trees.
Several specimens of the adult moths
have been captured in New Haven,
but 1t was not known until recently
that the insect is doing much injury
o the trees in Connecticut.
The leopard moth is a European
pest, and like many other very injuri-
Gus insects that we now have to fight,
was accidentally introduced into this
country, being first noticed in June,
1881, at Hoboken. N. ]. Three years
later DIR. +. B. Southwick found 1t in
juring trees in Central park, New
York city, and in 1894 pronounced it
one Of the worst insect pests attack
ing shade trees. The leopard moth
was soon found in other cities near
New York. and in 1907 Mr. A. H. Kirk

PLANS TO STOP ACCIDENTS
Slower Has Fences Erected at Danger
Points in Central Park.

If in the future any children are drowned
in the Harlem Mere while trying to catch
goldfish Commissioner Slower said yester-
day, blame could not be placed upon the
Park Department. for a wire fence has now
been erected around the only part of the
body of water heretofore so unprotected.
Nearly all the drownings have resulted, SO
Commissioner Slower says. because young
sters have slipped from the Lodges border
ing the southwestern shore of the mere.
The water here is from six to twelve feet
deep and the mud at the bottom fully two
feet deep. At intervals signs OF warning
have also been attached to the fence
The erection of this fence is only
part of the general scheme of Commissioners
Slower TO erect such protecting barriers at
well known dangerous points i'll Central
Park 4 fence will be placed on the side
of the bride path where II crosses the
transverse road at 9Th street and the
West Drive At present only thlcket is

more Likewise a footpath in the same
mart of the park will be thus protected The
