Insect Quarantine.

It is said that the United States is
the only great nation which does not
protect itself by quarantine against
insect infested and diseased plant
stock. Fully SO per cent Of the i'm
portant injurious insects in this coun-
try, says Charles L. Marlatt Of the
bureau of entomology, are Of foreign
origin. Among these are the Hessian
ny, the asparagus beetle, the cabbage
worm, hop plant and wheat plant lice,
the pea weevil, the codling moth or
apple worm, the cotton boil weevil, the
San Jose scale, the gypsy and brown
tail moths, the croton bug and the
oyster shell bark louise. These u
losses aggregating more than $780,
OOO,ON a year. China and other orr
entail countries with which our rela-
tions are extending contain many
other insect pests which have not vet
reached this country. and an effort is
being made to rouse public opinion in
favor Of national legislation establish
ing quarantine against them.

Problem Of thu GIacier

The problem of the glacier is in
volved in much obscurity, and years Of
patient research are yet to be done be-
fore its solution will be arrived at, al
though those Of Europe have already
been watched quite closely for a long
time and considerable valuable infor-
nation has been cleaned. There are
twenty-six great glaciers of Switzer-
land. and the speed of their recession
has been gradually accelerated since
the beginning of the present century.
In this movement their conduct is all
very similar, but each one exhibits
marked characteristics Of its own.
About the middle of the century they
all showed an advance, but only two
went beyond the point occupied at the
beginning Of the century. when the in
vestigations first began. With the ex-
ception of one other time between
1890 and 1895. when there was another
slight advance. the recession has been
quite steady.

HENRY T. HUNT.

Cincinnati's Mayor Elect Has Been Out
Of College Only Eight Years.
With his recent election as mayor Of
Cincinnati, Henry T. Hunt, thirty-three
years old and only eight years out of
college, attained an imposing position
in the ranks Of political celebrities.
Two years after he was graduated at
Yale Mr.. Hunt vas elected to the Ohio
state legislature. This was in the cam
paign in which President (then Score.
tary) Taft contributed his denuncia-
ton of the Cox machine. Mr.. Hunt
at once became conspicuous as the fa-
Their Of the law prohibiting corpora
ton campaign contributions. He fail

got to break. The one noted excep-
nassas. My glorious old regiment was
placed in a certain position and order
ed to hold it until my judgment die
tated an advance. We had fought for
three hours when the opportune mo-
ment arrived. Placing myself in front
of the line, 1 went through the usual
waves and then said:
"'Men, the enemy is in front Of us!
Who will follow me until the last one
has died or surrendered?
Dashed For Two Miles.
1T will! shouted a hundred men,
and the next moment we were dash
ing forward. After we had dashed
about eighty rods I began to look for
the enemy, but he was not to be found.
We kept ON for half a mile, but no
enemy. We were determined to do or
die, suh-do or die-and we continued
charging ahead and thinking Of our
f~orefathers who died at Lexington or
Bunker Hill until we had gone two
miles. 1t then transpired that there
was no enemy for ten miles in that
direction, and after a rest we returned,
II am sorry to say that our gallant
dash was misconstrued in certain quar-
ters. The brigadier, for instance, said
he couldn't make out why We should
go charging all over the country after
an enemy that was close at hand. I

dress to him, but it was no go. l told
him of our wish to die for our country,

Swimmers tho Prey Of Eele.

A remarkable story of the seizure
Of swimmers by cells comes from New
Zealand. A stream in New Zealand
was a favorite bathing place because
the current was swift and strong.
Time after time the bather would be-
gin to shrek and splash on the sur
face, would disappear before help could
reach him, and when his body had
been found it had invariably been eat
en- by cells. The cause Of the fatality
remained shrouded in mystery, for
long time, but at length the true cause
was discovered that whilst the SWIM
mer was almost stationary in the rapid
stream a huge eel would seize him by
the foot or leg and drag him down be-
meath the surface.
