well developed. The head is small
and pale greenish color.
The type locality is Florida, Mexico,
Guatemala, Costa Rica, Bahamas, Ja-
maica, Cuba, Hayti, Santa Lucia, st.
Vincent, Venezuela, British Guiana,
Brazil and Trinidad.
The species was first reported July
10, 1907, from Orlando, Fla. IL was
attacking the ferns in that vicinity.
1t was noted that the larvae usually
fed at night, although sometimes eat
ing during the day. They concealed
themselves during the day, at the
base OF the ferns and rose bushes, or
were found resting low down on the
stems. They had habit OF crawling
up the stems and eating off several
leaflets, thus spelling the beauty OF
the plants.
During the following September a
report was made TO the department OF
agriculture that this caterpillar was
attacking several greenhouses in the
vicinity OF the District OF Columbia
An chronological assistant in the de.
partment was detailed TO get specl-
mems of the insects and to investigate
the conditions OF the different green
houses where the caterpillars had
been running the plants and ferns.
Scores OF methods OF destruction
have been tried in the different parts
OF the country infested with the fern
caterpillar, but no method has proved
a success, and so the commander-in-
chief Of the ichneumon fly army has
been called into consultation and ad-
vises an immediate attack In several
parts OF the country.

WIFE Of HENDR|CKSON
SEEKS HIS SURRENDER
Guards Around Abandoned Mine to
Use Sulphur if She Is
Unsuccessful.

PINEv1LLE. KY, December 3O.-The
guards around the abandoned mine en-
frances in which the Hendricksons and
their followers are hiding were hopeful
today that Mrs. Jack Hendrlckson, wife
of the leader Of the mountaineers. would
be successful in inducing her husband
to surrender Mrs. Hendrickson an
nounced that she would enter the mine
today. Sheriff-elect Rufus Wilson will
accompany her.
Two barrels of sulphur have been pur-
chased, and should the ciansmen refuse
to surrender an effort will be made to
smoke them out.
Anxious to Enter Mine.
Seventy-five men are now on duty about
the mine entrances. They are anxious to
enter the mine in body, but this will not
be attempted until all other efforts for
peaceful surrender are exhausted.
A friend of Jack Hendrickson expressed
the opinion today that the leader of the
trial, and that he would come out of the
mine and surrender were Il not for the
fact that a brother of Thomas Stewart is
one of the deputies assisting in guarding
the mine. Hendrickson fears that Stew
art will shoot him on sight. Tom Stew
art was killed by John Hendrickson about
ten years ago. Hendrickson was sent to
the penitentiary at Frankfort for the
crime. His term expired only a few
months ago.

Reason for Early Action.

Haste in passing the law recommended
by Secretary Lane is believed by him to
be necessary because foreigners are now
making efforts to get possession of
radium- bearing lands In the United States.
Up to the present more radium has
been found in the United States than
in any other part Of the world. and
foreigners seem to be fully aware OF this
fact.
Representative Foster was out OF the
city today. as was Senator Walsh, chair
man of the Senate committee on mines
and mining. The majority members of
both committees on this subject were
also away. AS soon as they return they
are expected to give immediate attention
to the subject because of the pressing
nature of the letter from Secretary Lane.
The fact that Representative Bremner of
New Jersey Is being given the radium
treatment for cancer adds sentimental
interest to the question to members of
Congress

Lane Of the Interior Department that

the people Of the United States.
That a vigorous effort will be made to
have such a law passed soon after the
reassembling OF Congress after the
Christmas recess was made evident by
the attitude of physicians and govern
ment officials Secretary Lane indicated
in his letter to Representative Foster of
Illinois. chairman of the House mines
and mining committe, that the federal
bureau of mines has a process for ex-
tracing radium from ores. and that the
geological survey has lands which are
expected to yield the ore.
