The humiliation Of this distinguished

in southern Mexico. The other owner
is Lord Cowdray, chief of the Pearson
oil syndicate, which has figured as a

Mexican revolutions,
The British finger of scorn has been
steadily pointed at America in matters
of a similar kind While it gives
Americans no particular satisfaction TO

Sir Lionel Garden be made so clear

MELLEN'S MISFORTUNE.

Charles W. Mellen, former president
OF The New York. New Haven &
Hartford Railroad company, faces trial
on an indictment charging manslaugh-
ter, the bill having been returned on
account of the wreck at Westport,
Conn, October 3. 1912, in which seven
persons lost their lives. Indictments
against other officials of the New

TOLL OF THE AIR.

The downward plunge to death OF
Lieutenant j. McC. Murray of the navy
brings homo to us the fact that flying
machines arc far from being perfect
and that the man who goes up in ono
Of them takes his life in his hands
Following closely upon the heels Of the
fatal accident ut San Diego in which
catastrophe at Pensacola which ended
the brilliant career Of Lieutenant Muir,
ray, justifies Secretary Daniels in ex-
claiming, " When 1 hear Of such acci.
dents | am almost persuaded to the be-
! lief that the tolls which science and
progress exact are too heavy
The ordinary aviator seeks fame and

| If he is killed il is because he de-
| liberately takes the risk to better his
condition in life. The young army or
navy officer who joins the aero corps
follows the path Of duty and if death
comes, his life is laid upon the altar
Of his country and no falls, martyr
to his profession. The man who thus
sacrifices himself is Of heroic mold and
just as much entitled to the acclaim of
his countrymen as the man who goes

ciallv profitable or available IN case of
war. For centuries men have turned
their eyes upward and predicted that
sooner or later man would conquer the
air. Thus Roger Bacon, one of the
most profound and original thinkers
Of 500 years ago, the inventor of the
magnifying glass and man so well
versed in all the knowledge of his day
that his ecclesiastical superiors charged
him with practicing the "black art -
or magic, had not the least doubt of
The practicability Of the flying ma
chine. He did not attempt to construct
n model, but gave it as his opinion that
an apparatus that would cleave the
air with a passenger could be worked
by means of a windlass.
Perhaps, If Friar Bacon had bent his
great mind TO the study Of aviation
during the twenty years he spent in
prison, the problem would have been
solved in the middle ages, long cen
turies before the application of steam
or the discovery Of the many uses TO
which electricity may be applied
The problem, however, has been hand
ed down to the twentieth century for
solution. How many lives must be
sacrificed in the experiments which
must be carried on before reasona,
bic degree of safety is assured, time
alone can tell. Doubtless we shall be
called upon to mourn the untimely fate
of many a brave young officer who
steps forth from among his associates to
take the post Of danger. May the time
soon dawn when such sacrifices are no
longer necessary.

TO COMBAT ARMY WORMS;
ENTOMOL0GIST TELLS HOW.
Whore to Look For Thorn and Methods
Of Prevention and Destruction.

Army worm outbreaks, says q. F.
Felt, New York State entomologist, are
likely to originate In rank grass or
other growth along fences. in pastures
and other localities except swamps. II
is not swamp feeding caterpillar
Large numbers Of eggs are laid in such
situations. and as the young caterpil-
lars increase In size the nearby vegeta-
ton is quickly exhausted, and we then
have more or less extensive army
worm outbreaks. The caterpillars are
about an inch and quarter long. dark,
light striped. and they usually feed at
night. 1t is decidedly advantageous
to detect these outbreaks in their in
cipient stages and destroy the cater
pillars before they have spread to any
great extent
Clean cultivation, rotation Of crops
and the cleaning up of fence rows are
important measures in preventing out
breaks by this insect
Local infestations may be controlled
by the judicious distribution of a
poisoned bait, such as thirty-five
pounds of wheat bran, one gallon Of
mOlasses and pound of paris green
mixed to moist though not sloppy
consistency. This should be scattered
thinly just before nightfall over the in
tested area, but should not be used
where there is any danger Of poison
ing domestic animals or children

Army worms may be kept from In.
vading valuable fields by ditching or
ploughing a rather deep furrow with
its perpendicular side toward the field
to be protected. II the pests are
abundant. holes about two feet In
depth should be made in the bottom Of
the furrow at distance Of fifteen or
twenty feet. into which the cater
pillars fall and SOON perish. Such
bitches should be watched to keep
the side next to the crop to be pro-
tected smooth and perpendicular and
the depression from being bridged by
the accumulated bodies Of the cater
pillars.
Broad bands Of tar may be used az
a barrier, or tar may be applied to
boards set up on edge. Insect catchers
could be used In the same way.
The advance Of army worms may
also be checked by spraying a strip
just in front Of the caterpillars with
paris green. using at least one pound
to fifty gallons Of water and taking
care later to see that all such vegeta.
ton is cut and burned or disposed of in
such way as not to endanger live
stock.
