TOXIN KILLS GYPSY
MOTHS. SAVES TREES.
Scientist Prepares Enough to Protect
Massachusetts Forest Lands.

BY inoculating gypsy moth caterpil
lars with contagious disease which
travels throughout the insect commu
nifty like a plague among human he
ings. William Reif, an assistant pro
fessor in the Bussey institute at Har
ward, expects to rid the country OF
the pests which attack trees.
Already enough of the culture or tox
in of the caterpillar disease, which is
known as "hacherie," ''moth cholera
or "wilt disease" has been prepared
by Professor Reiff to inoculate the
pests infesting the 10000 acres of Mas
sachusetts forest lands. and this cul-
ture is being sent broadcast over the
state
The germ Of fiacherie is distributed
among the gypsy moths while they are
still in the caterpillar stage on account
of the fact that at this period of their
development they are more apt to sue
eumb to it. The culture is placed in
small bags or "hammocks," which are
hung ON the branches of the infected
trees. The culture spreads among the
caterpillars as soon as they begin to
feed on the leaves, with the result
that a very large percentage of them,
according to Mr.. Reiff's experiments,
are eXterminated.
caterpillar as we do it," says Mr..
Reiff, sis similar to the inoculation OF
a human being with a disease. The
difference is that we are doing the best
we can to make the disease spread,
while the physician does all he can to
prevent contagion.
"As far as we know there is nothing
dangerous to human being in the cul-
ture of the disease.
ut is supposed that this germ which
affects the gypsy moth is so minute
that it cannot be found by any optical
instrument yet invented. 1t is suggest
ed that the germ is so small as to pass
entirely through any filter which has
been used for the purpose of obtaining
it.
"a close study has been made OF
some of the insect diseases, especially
of those known to occur in the silk
worm and in the nun moth, which lat
ter insect destroys the forests of cen
tral Europe.
During the year 1910 the artificial
ly developed fiacherie was planted
after the dying off of the breeding
material had begun among the cater
pillars of the gypsy moth in the many
deeply wooded cities in Massachusetts.
"From the data obtained from that
work it was found that the total num-
ber of apparently living eggs has been
decreased by introduction of the arti-
fetal fiacherie to about IA per cent"

HELP OUT BIRDS.
Car Sidetraeked From Railroad Train
For Nesting Robins.

Car sdetraeked From Railroad Train
For Nesting Robins.
Admiration for the gameness of a
pair of robins in sticking to their nest
on a flying trip between Hamilton,
Ont, and Buffalo has resulted in a
car being taken out Of the train and
sidetracked for their benefit until their
young are ready to shift for them
selves.
Patrolman Mooney noticed the nest
behind the top rung Of brake ladder
on an empty car that came over the
International bridge. When the train
came to a standstill he climbed up to
investigate. Before he reached the
top OF the ladder q pair Of robins were
futtering around and making a great
ado. There were four eggs in the
nest
Railroad men, who became as inter
ested as the policeman, managed to
find something wrong with the brakes,
and the car was put on a dead siding,
where 1t will be allowed to remain

$1,000 SUIT ever
REJECTED TAFT BUST.
Sculptor Is Said to Have Died of
Brohon Heart.

The aftermath of the death of Mrs.
Elizabeth ST. John Matthews, the
sculptor, who is said to have died
from nervous breakdown resulting
from the rejection of a bust of Presi
dent Taft she had modelled for the
Yale club, came in the form of n suit
for $1,000 brought by her husband.
Robert E. Matthews, against w. II.
Taylor, Attorney Ely Rosenberg and
William H. Hancock, prime movers in
raising the fund with which the bust
was to have been purchased.
The 5000 is the amount the com
mittee is said to have contracted to
pay for the bust. Mr.. Matthews de-
clares that he is seeking to vindicate
the professional standing Of his wife.
Mrs. Matthews died recently and her
physician at the time declared that
her end had been hastened by worry
incident to the rejection of the bust.
The committee which raised the
fund did not consist entirely of mem
bers of the Yale club. 1t had merely
decided that because Mr.. Taft was
Yale's most distinguished living grad
uate the Yale club would be a fitting
place for the bust.
The contract for the bust was made
with Mrs. Matthews last fall, and she
had the work well under way when it
was signed In December the bust.
in plaster form, was rejected, and
from that time on the sculptors health
is said to have been seriously affected.
Mr.. Matthews states that the bust
met with the approval of George Gray
Barnard, the sculptor, who wrote
special letter of commendation, the
first of the kind he is said to have
penned. Mr.. Matthews declares that
personal feeling entered into the ac-
ton taken by the committee.
Among Mrs Matthews best known
works are statues of Lincoln, Garfield
and Mckinley in the palace of Prince
Henry of Prussia, bas-relief of Nc
Kinley in the public library at Bur-
lington, VT, and heroic statue of
Rev. John Healy Haywood, which
stands beside the pulpit in the Church
Of the Messiah in Louisville, Ky.

New York, June 13.-.James Morton,

the police gathered in on May 5, when
Philadelphia contractor named Nc
Donald posed as a victim of a wire
tapping game long enough to enable
the police to make thirteen arrests
While he was being examined a man
who said he was Thomas W. Ballew,
from Kansas, picked out Morton as a
man who had been party to a scheme
to take $4,000 away from him last
October. Morton was thereupon rear
rested and taken to headquarters.
Ballew said that man came to him
with a scheme to raise $4,000 in the

suspicion of what was going on and
would have put up more money if he
had not discovered that the men who
had his money had left Kansas hur-
riedly.

Patriotic Rallies In Each of the Five
Boroushs In the Morning, Athletic
Games In the Afternoon and Fire
works at Night.
OF all the features that have been
suggested for safe and sane celebra-
tions of the Fourth of July this year
the parade of nations" planned in
New York city seems to have met
with the greatest popular approval
The idea is to assemble one family
of each nationality and have them, fa-
ther, mother and children, dressed in
their national costume. Each family
is to carry a flag of it's own country.
The parade of nations which will
be typical of New York's cosmopoli-
tan character, will march around city
hall, and the paraders will then take
their places in a special stand
The New York committee is plan
ming to make the exercises q national
feature, having each year two ora
tions by two of the most famous
Americans. This year DR.. Woodrow
Wilson, governor of New Jersey, and
Secretary Henry l.. Stimson of the
department of war will be the speak
ers.
Plans are being made for five kinds
of celebrations in all parts of the five
boroughs:
First.-Grand patriotic rallies in the
morning at city hall and at each Of
the borough halls, with band music,
singing, reading of the Declaration
and orations.
Second.-Patriotic meetings at his
toric spots in all five boroughs, at City
college, Columbia university and New
York university, and nationality cele-
brations-ltalian, Hungarian, French,
Bohemian and Yiddish-in various
parts Of the city, at all of which there
will be band music and singing.
Third-Patriotic exercises for school
children in the morning in 200 or more
schools and Fairgrounds under the di-
rection of a committee headed by DR..
William II. Maxwell, city superintend-
ent OF schools.
Fourth.-Twenty-fv great athletic
rallies in the afternoon under the man.
agement of James T.. Sullivan, in
which every form of organized ath-
1etics in the city will have entries,
with prizes of gold, silver and bronze
medals in all events At each of the
parks where these meets are to be held
there will be band music.
Fifth.-Seventy-five night celebra-
tions with band music and fireworks,
one in each aldermanic district of
Greater New York.
The neighborhood celebrations will
be in charge of a subcommittee repre-.
senting nearly every language spoken
in the greater city. At each of these
the Declaration of Independence will
be read in the native tongue of the
spectators, and there will be folk songs
and choruses from singing societies.
