The Aggression Of States.

The world is divided, politically,
into states. These states are a kind
of abstract beings, distinct from the
men, women and children who inhabit
them. They are in perpetual and in'
evitable antagonism to one another;
and though they may group them
selves in alliances, these can be only
for temporary purposes to meet some
other alliance or single power. For
states are bound by a moral or physi-
cal obligation to expand indefinitely,
each at the cost of the others. They
are natural enemies, they always have
been So and they always will be; and
force is the only arbiter between them.
That being so, war is an eternal neces-
sity. AS a necessity, it should be &C.
copied, if not welcomed, by all sound.
thinking and sound-feeling men Pa
cifists are men at once weak and
dangerous. They deny fact as fun
damental as any of the facts of the
natural world. And their influence.
If they have any, can only be dis.

and inevitable contest with other

notwithstanding the fact that the
white ant is such an interesting in
sect, it is one of the most destructive
in North America. While in a way they
serve in a favorable role by converting
the wood of dead stumps and trees
into valuable soil material, this is
more than Offset by the damage they
infiict on injured living trees, to say
nothing of their insidious borings in
all manner of timbers, props, poles
and posts, which often give way with
out the slightest warning. White ants
will infest the heartwood of living
trees injured at the base by fire, dis
ease or other insects, and sometimes
in such trees they excavate upward
throughout the dead heartwood, longi-
tudinal tunnels, irregular in diameter.
These insects also infest the roots
of living trees, finding ingress through
abandoned burrows of the large round
headed borers. Sometimes they girdle

THE GALA AND ITS CULTURE
BY BESSIE |. PUTNAM.

Rich soil, moisture, warmth, and
sunshine are the key notes to success
With the Gala. 1t can-yes-must be
made to bloom in winter without much
sunshine if the other essentials are
supplied.
If wanted for winter blooming it is
best to let it rest in summer, turning
the pot on its side, in some out Of the
way corner. Repot in September fill
ing in a layer of charcoal for drainage
and food.
Over this put layer of manure well
rotted, and finish with a rich compost.
Water sparingly until growth COM
mences, and then the water can hardly
be supplied too freely.
Always use warm water The roots
will enjoy it quite hot, but this is
death to the stem. Some place a ring
of tin around the base of the stem,
pressing it down an inch into the
soil. With this protection the hot
water can be freely used.
Bottom heat may also be supplied
by placing the pot on a hot brick. BY
keeping a pair of bricks for this pur-
pose and alternating every II hours
the buds can be forced more freely.
Give liquid manure once or twice a
week, gradually increasing the dose as
the plant seems to thrive.
Rout the red spider by spraying
with cold water, and the scale with
soapsuds.
When two leaves appear successive
ly from the same stalk, watch for a
bud next. Others will succeed it
through the winter if the treatment
oatlined is adhered to. Bottom heat,
moisture. and all the sunshine posi-
BILE are the best incentives to growth.

honeycombed. This is not necessarily
due to the presence of dead wood near
by, since termites will tunnel for long
distances underground.
While usually combining their work
to moist or decaying timber or to vege-
books and papers that are somewhat
moist, termites will attack seasoned,
dry wood, provided there is access to
moisture elsewhere; l. e.. they use
moist grass and earth in extending the
burrows, thus creating more favorable
conditions. In the southern states
termites will infest the bark and outer
layers of the wood of the base of yell
low pines killed by bark beetles before
the foliage has fallen; trees that have
been killed in the spring and show red
dish-brown needles and much fallen
foliage being infested by the middle of
August Trees killed in the spring
will have the outer layers of wood of
the base honeycombed by the follow
ins December. The larger-celled,
thin-walled, spring wood is eaten away
first, leaving the smaller-celled. hard

riculture has issued a bulletin describ-

little creatures.
