| session. Unfortunately the legislature
did not realize the seriousness of the
pest, and dismissed the problem by
passing a law which required property
owners to destroy the insects on their
premises.
The rapid spread of the gypsy and
brown-tail moths Is due to a certain
extent to traffic along the highways
! over which the boughs of trees hang.
The caterpillars drop from the branch
es Of the trees on the tops Of carriages
and automobiles and are transported
to territories not yet infected, and in
this way the distribution of the pest
over large areas was carried on. The
shipment of lumber and wood to diff
ferent sections of the country was also
a means Of spreading the insects, but
it was not until inspection Of such
commodities from infected territories
was begun that the moth got it's first
effective setback.
During the past summer Prof. w. f.
Fiske was in Italy and France collect
ing the natural enemies OF the gypsy
and brown-tail moths, the cotton boil
weevil and the alfalfa weevil, and
more than million of these parasites
were sent to the United States during
the year.
Not only is this new method Of fight
ing the moths looked upon with inter
est by entomologists and persons di-
rectly effected by the ravages of the
insects, but much help is expected to
come to those who have suffered from
the destruction and ravages caused by
the cotton boil weevil.

Ancient SCULPTURE Found.

Some large bas-reliefs dating from
the stone age have been discovered at
Lanosei, in the French province OF
Dordogne. They are sculptured on
the rock of a shallow grotto and rep

that the primitive sculptors probably
refrained from introducing the hu-
man figure in art by taboo similar

Some persons are always looking
