Flames Again
 Al Momauguin
Cottagers, Alarmed at Re newal of Fire, Get Trolley
 Go. to Install Night Patrol

There was another fire scare among
 the East Haven cottagers at Momau-
 g---::= about 10 o'clock last night, when
 the board walk. leading down to the beach. caught fire from the ruins of Hoyt's pavilion, which had been fam
 ned into flames by the high wind
 that prevailed. The tired cottagers
 most of whom had spent the previous
 night in fighting the blaze which des- ! troyed Hoyt's and the Momauguin,
 turned out again and finally, by form \ ing bucket brigade, managed to ex- ltinguish the blaze in the walk. The wind was carrying sparks in clouds from the ruins towards the cottages. however, and there was panic among
 the owners, until the Connecticut Go. in response to a telephone appeal, sent down gang of men to watch the ruins through the night.
 The gang Of men from the trolley company was armed with fire extin- guishers and by continually wetting down the debris managed to prevent any danger. When the blaze first broke out again it was feared that the wind might fan it into such fury that the fire would sweep the whole shore, but thanks to it's early discovery and the prompt action of the cottagers this was prevented.
 Out of the ruins of the Momauguin. Proprietor R. V. Callahan managed to recover yesterday afternoon one of the four diamonds which his wife left be- hind her in her hurry to escape. the flames. The stone was found after a days search through the debris. MT. Callahan said last night that he has ascertained about where the other three diamonds are in the ruins and hopes to recover them today The stone which has been found is worth about $50 while the other three total about $500 in value
 The diamond recovered is slightly damaged by the flames and smoke but not enough. it is believed, to seriously depreciate its value.
 MT. Callahan still sticks to his be- lief that the fire was due to an in- cendiary, although he said he had no | evidence to prove this and suspected | no one. NO man can make rf1e be- lieve the fire was not set," he stated vehem ently. He said that in view of the complete destruction of the place he didn't see how any investiga- | tiGn could be made.

INSECTS MAKE LIFE
A BURDEN FOR THE
TOBACCO GROWER
Department Of Agriculture
Issues Bulletin Telling
Remedies For Pests.

The tobacco grower finds that eternal
vigilance is the price of a crop, owing
to the number of insects that seem bent
on eating the tobacco faster than it
can grow. The Department of Agricul:
ture has issued bulletin dealing with
these insect enemies from which is COM
piled the following impressive list:
The tobacco flea beetle is 'lively
creature with a hearty appetite. In
1907 it caused a $2,OOOOOO loss in Ken
lucky and Tennessee alone. The next
year the splitworfn took a toll of $50
an acre in Florida. That State also
partial to wrapper leaves, the most
valuable part of the plant.
Then there are the tobacco budworms
and the tobacco hornworms and the
cigarette beetles, which tnfest cured
and manufactured tobacco and levy a
yearly toll of many thousands of dol
lars on the industry. The total annual
loss caused by these pests probably
never falls below about $5,0O0,00O, and 1t
may be as high as $10.000OO0.
This beetle breeds in practically all
cured tobacco except that richest in
nicotine. Small lots Of infested tobac-
co, such as cigars, cigarettes, and boxes
OF pipe tobacco, may be treated by
opening the boxes so that the gas Will
enter, placing them in an alright box
and fumigating with carbon bisulphide.
The most serious injury to trans
planted tobacco is by wireworms. In
South Carolina last year they severely
hurt the crop by boring into the stem.
The mole cricket is also injurious, cut
ting off the young plants. Another IN
sect attacking the secdbed seriously is
the grouse locust. principally at Stem,
n. c., and in Tennessee.
Cutworms are also very injurious to
tobacco, cutting off the top OF the plant
at or near the surface of the ground.
Then there are the hemiptera, OF
which the most injurious species Is the
tobacco suck1y. The plant bug willis
tobacco, as we'll as the leaf bug. the
stilt bug, leaf hoppers and sharp
shooters and a mealy bug. The green
house white fly Injuries tobacco In
greenhouses.
other injurious pests are the climbing
cotton cutworm. flea beetle, gray
blister beetle, cucumber beetle. potato
beetle Snout beetles breed in tobacco
stems, but not with severe injury
Wireworms injure the root and stems
of tobacco.
other insects injurious TO cured aSd
manufa ctured tobacco are the rice
weevil and the drug store beetle, for
which use the same remedies as for
cigarette beetles.
There are also insects attacking to-
bacco seed says the United States To-
baCCo Journal The tobacco seed beetle
is the most prominent and there are
the black carpet beetles, found in
bottle of imported Cuban seed: the
book louise and the cecidOmyiid. Grass
hOppers tree criCkets and snowy tree
cricknts are also among injurious pests.
