large cage, covered with wire
gauze, is placed over a moth-in-
tested tree. The warlike fly para
sites are confined in the cage, and
they are not long in making their
attack by depositing their eggs in
the larvae of the moths. The in
sects developed from these eggs be-
come the rank and file of a larger
army which may be sent upon a
campaign in the open. But expert
ence has shown that smaller cages,
of various forms, are more effective
in the work of breeding and train
ing an insect army.
Curiously enough it has been
found that some of the parasites
attacking the moths, particularly
the flies called Tachinids, are
themselves attacked by secondary
parasites, which thus serve as al
lies of the enemy. One of the prob
lens with which it is necessary to
deal is that of guarding against or
getting rid of, these secondary par
asites
But many othe" noXious insects
beside the moths named have NOR
tai enemies which are now known,
and the cultivation of these and
their formation into armies of res
cue are receiving attention. The
elm leaf beetle, the plant tick, and
mulberry scale insect, the various
weevils, and the plant lice and
grain aphids all have their insect
foes, which can be let loose upon
them. Recently a species of large
bembecid wasp has been sent from
New Orleans to Algeria to wage
war upon a kind of fly which i'm
parts the sleeping sickness" to
dromedaries. The wasps went over
in refrigerated cocoons, from which
full -fledged insects were developed
in Algeria, but their subsequent
history is not yet known.
Considering what has been ac-
complished, one might be tempted
to hope that an insect foe of mos
quitoes and house flies may yet be
discovered and sent out on a spe-
cies of warfare to which the most
tender hearted sentimentalist could
hardly object,

a CROSS the bosom of the western sky
~ Their sails gold tinted by the sinking sun,
A fleet of cloud ships move and you and
Behold race that's lost or won
Majestic is the spread of heecy sails
All spreading southwark to ghostly port,
But we watch, behold! vision fails
And naught is left mass of clouds distort.
Mine the frigate with the streaming flag!
She led them all; she held my hopes" you cry
The whole feet vast and billowing rag
Draped meaningless in tatters DER the sky
There race! There was no fleet" says one
Who speaks in measured from book
Il but clouds and the red setting sun"
You more? Then, friend you did not Loo
You see, perhaps, in shadows the grass
No more than sunshine blunted where it falls:
You see race of lengthening giants pass
In mystic silence garden walls?
You in glowing embers the CRATE
No than turning into ash?
No winking sprites? No blazing castle gate?
No red-clad pigmies storming window sash?
When raindrops scurry down the dripping pane
You see no fairies on toboggan slides2
You merely hear the patter of the rain?
You do not hear the fairy shreks besides3
Does morning dew shrubs no message bear
OF Night Queen having foated to and fro,
And scattered diamonds from her hair
nodding to the sleeping blooms below?
Does the fair sight of swaying golden grain
Bring only thought of nations be fedH
Or do you feel that all the pulsing plain
In slow waltz is by Dame Ceres led?

are sent all over the world in
search of the insects that are need
ed, and which are known to be the
foes of those against which the
warfare is directed. Europe, Africa,
Asia and the islands of the eastern
seas are ransacked by the seekers.
There is something lugubriously
suggestive in the fact that on the
old battlefield of Wagram the
agents sent out by the American
government found a colony of par
asitic insects victoriously attacking
the caterpillars of the formidable
gypsy moth, which has wrought
such destruction in this country,
and they were Immediately export
ed to Massachusetts to exercise
their Napoleonic energy on a new
field of battle.
Wherever they find the insects
needed the searchers box them up
and send them by mail or freight
to this country. Some of them are
adult insects. and they are care
fully fed during the journey.
Among these is a handsome beetle
called the Calisoma, of a shining
bronze color. They are usually sent
in packages of safety match boxes,
one beetle in each box, with a wisp
of sphagnum for it to feed on.
Sometimes one or two caterpillars
are put into the box to serve as
food. Occasionally the beetles have
been sent, especially from Japan,
in cold storage, for the cold simply
stagnates without killing them. To
see one of these beetles attack a
caterpillar of the gypsy moth is a
cheering sight for the trainers who
are trying to save the trees that
these moths destroy by thousands.
In their native countries they have
already put their enemies under
their feet.
A Precarious Period.
One of the most interesting chap
races is that concerning the bat
ties with the terrible San Jose scale
insect in California. The orange
and lemon groves of the Pacific
slope were threatened with extinc-
tion through the attacks of this
scourge, when a remarkable insect
of the lady bird family (Coccinel-
Ia), called the Novius CARDINALS,
was imported from Australia. The
moment the lady bird larvae were
liberated in California they at
tackled the first scale insects they
met, and the orchard In which they
were let out was freed from the
enemy in short order. Within less
than a year after their arrival the
lady birds had won so complete
victory that Professor Riley was
able to report that the scale in
sect was "practically no longer a
factor to be considered in the culti-
walton Of oranges and lemons in
California" Everybody has seen
lady birds of some species. They
are little, round shining backed
creatures, marked with dots and
often beautifully colored. and all Of
them are enemies to noXious in
sects of one kind or another, so
that they should never be de-
stroYed.
Later on, when the orange and
lemon trees IN Portugal were
threatened with destruction by
scale insects that had found their
way to the continent from the
Azores. Australian lady birds from
California were sent to Portugal
Out OF shipment of so, only FIVE
remained alive. But they were good

Washington, d. O. Jan. 25,--Ameri-

'1fomented" the revolution Of 1903 in
Columbia, which resulted in the inde-

The COMMITTEES began hearings on
Rainey's resolution for an inquiry into
the taking Of the Panama canal strip

T propose to show at this hearing
that the declaration of independence
of Panama was prepared IN New York
in the Offices Of William Nelson Crom-
well, and that Nov. 3, 1903. was the
date agreed upon for beginning the
revolution In Columbia. said Rainey.
"Our contention is that the part the
United States played for months prior

Il am for Mr.. Roosevelt have
a very high regard for Mr.. Taft. and
believe that he has done much for the
country, since he has been president,
and that the future will testify to
this, but should he be the standard
bearer Of our party, l have felt that
there was an element in the party
that would not support him.
Senator LaFollette is a good man,
and / do not believe anywhere near
as radical as some papers would have
us think he is. Should he be nominat-
ed, / feel it would be impossible for
him to secure the unanimous support
of the republican party. MIR. Roose-
welt can get the unanimous support
practically of the whole party and can
bring. the party together
He will also get many thousand
Of democratic votes, and / feel that
he is the man for the republicans to
nominate as he has the confidence of
the people of the whole country re-
gardless of party and that he can and
will be nominated and elected

NEW ARRIVAL MADE
DEBUT IN BOB SLED.


Hettinger Herald: There are
new arrivals every day in Hettin-
ger county and cold weather does
not seem to discourage the old or
young in the least. One of the
newest arrivals is the son of Mr..
or Mrs. Chris Liesch, who will
probably be full -fiedged voter in
about twenty one years. This
young fellow made his debut last
Sunday evening when his parents
were away from home. This may
not sound conventional but it's a
fact, nevertheless, and this is how
it happened:
Chris Liesch is a member of the
German band recently organized,
and took Mrs. Liesch along with
him when he went to play at the
dance at Peter Blum's. At about
IL o'clock Mr.. and Mrs. Liesch left
the dance hall to ride home, a dis
tance of several miles, in a bob
sled. When near the Neiderkorn
home the child was born. 1t was
zero weather but the mother and
child, who were removed from the
sled to the Neiderkorn home, are
reported as getting on very nicely.

THE solution of the problem lies in
