HOLD PRACTICE

Tomorrow the First Field Artillery
will hold target practice for the in
spector general, Major McMalus, and
with the test the inspection of the en-.
tire Department of Hawaii will have
been completed. Since coming here
three weeks ago Major McManus has
inspected the materiel, accounts and
personnel OF the coast artillery, en-.
gineers and of the mobile army, both
in garrison and in the field, and the
actual firing of the field artillery
will wind up a fine-tooth combing of
Oahu's soldiery.
Target practice for the field artil-
leTy comes nearer to actual service
conditions than the firing tests of any
other branch Of the service. The ar
tillerymen must fire at unknown tar
gets and unknown ranges. it being the
duty Of the battery officers to go into
action, locate the target, get the range
and open fire within a given time. Ii
is the hardest kind of test, and COM
pairing ii with conditions of actual
warfare, the fact that they are not I'M
der fire themselves, is somewhat or
set by the fact that there is no move
ment OF the targets, and that in the
case of real engagement the enemy
would in some fay expose himself and
help locate his position.
The firing tomorrow is scheduled
for a. m. General Macomb, Major
McManus and Lieutenant Andrews,
aide, will motor out to Schofield to
it.

bell. We make other records as the snip
approaches. and when she is off our port
beam, broadside on and only half mile

on the deck to yibrate
The following day We encounter a dense
fog and by midnight are on the Banks of

Spouse. However, at about o'clock in
the morning We do receive a response; 1t
is only slight and only short distance
away. we know it is some small object,
which We soon pass without seeing II.
Later on We receive series of records
from each blast, showing that there are
several small objects in our vicinity. prob

any of them are dead ahead Of us. we
change our direction SO as to give them
wide berth.
When daylight appears, we are still in
a dense fog. About 8 o'clock we send out
a blast and receive back an echo show
ing that there is an exceptionally large
object very nearly dead ahead of US. We
know it is large because the distance in
dictated is ten miles and the record quite
distinct. By sending out repeated blasts,
we find that the distance between us and
the object diminishes about one-thrd OF
a mile in a minute. This. of course, is
Cue to our own speed, and indicates that
the object is stationary.
When we are two miles apart, the re-

the ending Is not sharp distinct. There
Is a failing out of spots made by the zig
gag lines. The total length of the echo
is thus made longer than that produced
by the primary blast This shows that
there is some kind OF cloud about the
object of different density from the sur
rounding air and that It is of considera BILE
size.
Therefore. we draw a logical conclusion
The object is of great size: it Is station
airy. and 1t has something about 1t that
modifles the echo; consequently the record
on the paper strip resembles that OBJ

We change our direction SO as to pass

mile. Fortunately we have barely
passed when the fog lifts and discloses
an enormous iceberg surrounded by
smaller pieces of ice that have been
broken off.
The following day we pass many ships
and with our apparatus We inform them
of the size and locality o. the big ice

but still in locality where icebergs NAV
be found. and in the afternoon we come

objects of all sizes. We give them a

Protecting the Ciys Trees From Devastating insects

that destroy the foliage OF Washington's
trees in the spring is the white-marked
tuSsock moth Scientific experiments in
dictate that there are generally three gen.
er3tlOnS or these tree enemies In Wash
lngton. OF the city shade trees il seems
TO select by preference the poplars, soft
naples. the elms. alders birches and will
lows They are a continual menace,
state from one tree to another. and, as
one gardener expressed 1t. sometimes ad-
vancing in whole armies
The tussock moth passes the winter
in the egg state. laid in the latter part
of September. in glistening white
mass attached to the outside OF the
cocoon. The caterpillars hatch in
Washington in April and May. The
newly Matched young. like the larvae
OF the elm leaf beetle. feed on the UNI
skeietonized appearance. They cast
tneir skin f1ve times. exhibiting a DIFF
ferent mott each time. and as they pass
into the NTH stage, devour entire
leaves except for the midribs and
their principal branches.
1t is not an uncommon sight to see
the young caterpillars drop down sus-
pended by a silken thread, or travel
ing. when nearly full grown. from one
tree to another. Quite frequently the
caterpillars are carried upon the
clothes OF passers-by or upon vehicles
to trees uninfested and affording
splendid feeding grounds for the in
sects.
The larval state lasts. on an aver
age, from month to five weeks. and
when full grown the larvae spin deli
cate grayish cocoons Of silk Within
a few hours after the completion Of
the cocoon the larva transforms TO
pupa. remaining in this state from ten
days to two weeks. While the CO.
coonS Of this first generation are main
ly spun on the trunk and larger
branches they can be found to con-
eS and twigs and on the half-eaten
leaves. The moths then issue from the
cocoOns and begin to lay their eggs.
August in Washington witnesses sec
ond generation Of these insects, and
in the latter part OF September a third
makes its appearance.
ventives used against this insect are
perhaps more numerous than those OF
the elm leaf beetle. The collection
and destruction in winter Of the eggs,
that have a FUZZY white appearance
must necessarily be thorough in order
TO be successful. Fortunately these
nests are generally deposited low down
or the trunk Of the tree or upon the
main limbs, and can be reached and
scraDed on with very little diMculiy.

In the District OF Columbia the fail

trees and bushes. 1t hibernates within

ceeds. This latter. which may he either

and find that it only produces wavy
line. quite uniform.
We next send out a powerful blast,
and find that this has produced decided
series of ZigZag lines on the strip of paper.
The bells have not sounded because the
electric current that rings them Is cut on
by the act of opening the steam valve of
the siren Nothing is on the paper eX-

blast and the waves.
We repea. our experiment by pointing
our instruments few degrees to both
port and starboard Still no result There
fore. there is evidently no large object
ahead of us, and we proceed in the dark
ness at full speed. repeating our expert
ments every ten minutes II the weather
is fOggy. At about midnight we find IA
very faint indication OF an echo; the
way line due to the sea is slightly modi-
fled when our instruments are pointed
ten degrees to the port but not when
pointed dead ahead to the starboard.
We repeat at the port side with the same
result as before. but We find that the lit
tile bell of the indicator shows an in
creased ringing. and a few seconds after
We send our last blast from the siren,
or vibrator, as We should call il.
The echo reaches us twenty seconds
after sending out the blast; consequently,
reach the object and another ten seconds
for the reflected vibrations TO return;
therefore, the distance is slightly over
two miles. Our ship is doing twenty
miles per hour. and one minute later we
send out another blast but the result is
no stronger than before so we change
the direction of the blast and find that
the greatest effect is produced when the
blast Is sent dead ahead; also that the
distance between the object and our ship
is being reduced at the rate of thirty-tive
miles per hour. Therefore. the unknown
object Is evidently a ship making ii cen
miles per hour and travelling toward US
slightly to our starboard
Our next b.ast shows us that the ship
is only mile distant and very much to
