M(JSKRATS
of American Species Invade
Germany and Fishermen
Are Alarmed.

BERLIN, July 1.-THE American
musk-rat is invading Germany. He
has not come dill ectly from America,
but by way Of Australia. About nine
years ago large land owner of Boz
hemia imported ten pairs of animals
from America and turned them loose
on his estate, which lies some twenty
five miles from Prague.
They propagated rapidly and soon
over ran all Bohemia. Recently
they have crossed the Saxon frontier
into Germany, and now 1t is regarded
as only question of time when all
German streams and lakes will be
infested with them. The spread Of
the animals is regarded with alarm
by fishermen; for it is claimed that,
although a vegetarian in America,
the musk-rat has become carnivorous
in Europe, and the whole tribe of
fishes, from the delicate brook-trout
to the heavy, mud-sodden carp, is
preyed upon by him Unfortunately.
Another Of the evil habits Of the an
imal is that he burrows into the dams
Eof fish-ponds and lets out the water.
While the American visitor was at
first regarded as valuable acquisi.
ton to the fauna Of the country and
was protected against poachers, there
is now a general demand that he be
declared an outlaw against whom ey-
erybody, shall be invited to make
war.

According to Figures in a Re.
port on Occupations by the
Census Bureau.
UPEeiAL 70 rAt rELnoRAn,

WASHINGTON, D. c., July IL
At the Thirteenth Census. 1910,
there were 3S.765,233 persons ten
years of age and over engaged In
gainful occupations in the United
States, including Alaska, Hawaii,
Porto Rico and the military and ma
val stations abroad. The gainful
workers thus formed 41.5 per cent
of the total population, 93,402,151,
enumerated at that census. These
figures are contained in report on
occupations which has Just been
published by Director William j.
Harris. of the Bureau Of the Census.
Department of Commerce. The re-
port was prepared under the super
vision Of William c. Hunt. chief
statistician for population.
Gainful Workers.
In continental United States alone
the gainful workers numbered 49,

of the total population, 91,972,266.
and 53.3 per cent Of the population
ten years Of age and over, II, $780,
270. In the male population the
gainful workers numbered 30,0y1,-
546, which was 63.6 per cent of all
males and s1.3 per cent of the males
ten years of age and over. In the fe-
male population the gainful workers
numbered S,075.772, which was 1871
per cent of all females and 23.4 per
cent Of the females ten years of age
and over. Thus, in the total popula-
tion Of the United States. over two
fifths of all persons, considerably
over threc-fifths OF all the males, but
considerably less than one-fifth of all
the females, were engaged in gainful
occupations in 1910: and in the pop

more than one-half of all persons,
over four-fifths of the males but less

in 1910, more than every other one
had gainful occupation: of the
males. over four out of five were
gainful workers, and OF the females.
almost one out of four was a gain
full worker.
The proportion OF the total popu-
lation engaged in gainful occupations
increased gradually from 34.7 per

Dangerous Cotton Pest from Egypt
Refused Adnittance.

The federal horticultural board has
intercepted shipment of cotton seed
from Egypt which was found to be
heavily infested by the so-called pink
boil worm. This is a result Of the
quarantine against cotton seed which
was promulgated by the board some
time ago. The seed, which was in
tended for planting in Arizona, ar
rived in Boston, where the customs
officials, under instructions from the
board, obtained possession Of it. The
pink boil worm is the most serious
cotton pest in Egypt. In that coun-
try it does as much damage as the
boil weevil in this country. The pos
sibility of reducing the damage it
causes has been considered by gov
ernmental commissions and confer
ences for several years. Like the
boil weeyil, it works for the greater
part of it's existence within the bolls.
Frequently it makes it's way inside
the seeds, where it can live for an
indefinite time. In fact, in expert
ments performed In the ministry of
agriculture in Egypt it was found
that the worms have lived for as
long as seven months in seed in
storage.
