only a pleasant but an instructive
companion. In his long experience as
a stenographer in the courts and the
legislature, he had an opportunity to

friends Quiet and unobtrusive in his

There is no finer trait of character
than loyalty and this was the quality
that most distinguished him and to
me as friend and in the relations we

1t begins to look as if the brown tan
moth pest would soon be thing of
the past unless unforeseen should etaoi
the past unless something unforeseen
should happen. The flight Of these in
sects usually ends with the last week
of July and as yet nothing of the ma
ture of a flight has occurred. The
moths have been in evidence during the
past two weeks about the street lights
of the city but not in such large num-
bers but what they could be easily
counted, and the wings on the ground
under the lights each morning told a
wordless story of a feast which had
been enjoyed by the English sparrows.
In speaking of the scarcity Of the
moths, Prof. Howard Worthley Of Bos-
ton, superintendent Of the bureau of
entomology of the United Etates de-
partment of agriculture, who was in
Augusta Friday while on tour of in
spection of the border of the terri
tory infested by the gypsy moths, said
that he found conditions in Massachu-
sets and New Hampshire regarding
the scarcity of the brown-tail moth
very much as they are in Maine. He
is inclined to the belief that the para
sites are doing good work in assist
ing in the determination of the pests.
Supt. Worthley was accompanied on
his visit to Augusta by Assistant Supt.

An improvement is to be made in
the Winthrop street crossing of the
Maine Central Railroad by substituting
crushed rock where plank is now and
has heretofore been used. The plank
crossing causes no small amount of
trouble, especially during the winter
months because of the water which
runs down Winthrop hill during the
mild days and freezing at night lifts
the planks from their positions some
times high enough to be caught by
passing trains. In placing the crushed
rock on the crossing it is understood
that trenches will be dug to the depth
of two feet between the east and
westbound tracks and also between the
rails of the two tracks and filled with
the rock, making a firm crossing and
one that will not be affected by the
frost or ice. The rock has already
been hauled and has been dumped just
above the crossing.
