London November S.-(SpeciaL Ono
OF England's greatest authorities on sea
law, and incidentally the bearer of one
of the dueerest names in the peerage,
has been selected TO preside over the
coming Board of Trade inquary into the
burning of the volturno in the person of
the Earl of Desart, who, it has just been
announced, will sit as wreck commission
er. assisted by duly qualified assessors,
one of whom will be specially nominated
as having expert knowledge concerning
fires in ships.
The full name of this famous noble
man, who is known to his intimates as
Ham," Is the sonorous one of Hamilton
John Agmondesham Cuffe, and besides
having had three years practical expe-
rience of the sea as a midshipman, he
had been much to the fore In international
naval matters, having represented Eng
land at the commission which inquired
into the Dogger Bank incident, and been
British plenipotentiary to the interna-
tional naval conference held In London
in 1909. as we'll as a member of the Hague
commission in succession to the late Lord

In the course of an uncommonly dis

who Is now 65, also has been solicitor to

as crack shot, used to be doughty
cricketer and fair amateur actor, and

incidentally, though he has no son, and
the title looks like descending to his
brother the Hon. o. f. S. Cuffe. who
is a groom of the privy chamber and
gentleman usher to the King. He has an

of William Bayard Cutting, who mar

ISLAND OF CHINCOTEAGUE
FAMED FOR WILD HORSES

When the outside world hears OF Chin
colleague an island off the eastern coast
of Virginia, 1t is usually on account of
the half-wild horses that roam over the
stretches of the island and OF Assoteag que.
They are strong, shaggy little creatures,
somewhat larger than the Shetland po-
MES, and they plunge boldly into the salt
water when they want to swim to some
toothsome diet of marsh grass, says Har-
pers
The animals are supposed to have been
east away on Chincoteague from some
wrecked vessel In the eighteenth or per-
haps the seventeenth century, and in the
course of time to have degenerated in
size. They came to good haven, for
there are five different kinds of grass to
feed them, and for drink little pools of
slightly brackish water In the sands.
Some of the cleverest ones make little
reservoirs for themselves by digging with
their hoofs
They belong to few of the islanders,
who own from one to rs each Once a
year In July the horses are rounded up in
Assoteague and in Chincoteague and are
driven down to the town, where they are
penned and the colts are branded. Then
some of them are sold to men from the
mainland. who will give as much as sl0o
or s125 for stylish" horse.

Thething to do then is to be sure and
gather and destroy the fallen fruit, or
pasture the orchard with fowls or pigs
that eat the fallen fruit. After the fruit
has remained on the ground for some
days the lava bores out and enters the
soil, where Ii changes to pupa or chrys-
alis, and passes the winter there.
In the fall of the year is the time to
watch for this pest. Many apples con-
tain the railroad maggot without this
pest being observed by the persons using
them, because It is inconspicuous; yet
the brownish winding tunnels show it's
presence and indicate that all fallen ap-
pies in the vicinity where it occurs should
be gathered and disposed of promptly, so
that the pests will be destroyed.

To Destroy the Apple Maggot

A serious pest Of the apples, especially
the summer varieties. Is one which bores
through the pulp of the fruit in winding
tunnels, and is, therefore, called the rail-
road worm. or apple maggot. 1t is the
lava of a fly with spotted wings, which
flies around the trees In the early part
Of the summer and lays It's eggs on the
fruit, says the Rural Farmer.
Soon before the fruit is half grown this
pest could be destroyed by spraying with
a sweetened arsencal spray upon which
the adults or winged fly would feed, but
after the lava enters the fruit and COM
mences to feed In it, there is no remedy.
