INSECT METAL BORERS.
Wasps With the Ability to Eat Their
Way Through steel Plates.

The vOracious and destructive habits
Of the white ants of the tropics are
widely known. Metal is almost the
only substance that they are unable to
destroy. There is IN insect, however,
and 1t is not necessary to so to the
tropics to find it-that can bore
through metal as easily as the white
ant can bore through wood.
ANY one can hear this insect buzzing
In the pine woods in midsummer or
perhaps see the flash Of its yellow
wings. Sirex glgas Is Its formidable
scientific name. but we know 1t simply
as the horn tailed wasp. This wasp
bores into the tree in various places
with its long tail and In each hole
leaves an egg.
The ensuing larvae, white. six
legged grub. fitted with powerful
jaws, takes up the work Of boring into
the wood and us 1t advances closes the
passage behind 1t with sawdust. If
uninterrupted the larvae continues bor-
ing deeper and deeper into the tree,
and since it Is. Of course. growing all
the time. 1t makes larger and larger
passage.
After about two years 1t makes its
cocoon of silk in the burrow. Then.
after the pupal skin is cast or. the
winged insect breaks through its CO
coon. Immediately. with feverish
haste. 1t begins boring toward liberty.
Finally 1t reaches the bark of the tree
and then the open air
1t Is often the case that during the
larval period the tree in which the
horn tailed wasp is burrowing may be
felled. sawed into planks and used In
building operations. Sometimes for
some particular purpose the timber
may be incased In a metal sheathing.
That does not disturb the wasp mt all.
When its time comes 1t applies itself
with energy to its task and soon bores
q hole through which 1t can escape.
RRles made by these insects have
been found In tin roofs, and In the
mint at Vienna was safe the half
inch steel plates Of which the wasps
had perforated. Some extraordinary
casese f their activity We're brought TO
the notice of the Academy Of Sciences
In Paris.
A barrel of cartridges that bad been
stored away for some time showed the
ravages OF the wasps In their search
for light and freedom. The insects
had not only eaten their way through
the wooden barrel. but through the
cartridges and leaden bullets " well.

MILLION ACRE FARMS.
Those Arc .he Kind, as General Rule.
Thay Have In Mexico.

In the United States the farmer is
humble person. In Mexico he is II king
of millionaires. You look out across
level plain and you see n magnificent
house Of stone, cement and great tim
bers, covering sometimes as much as
half an acre. Surrounding it are 9th
er houses. hundreds of them, but all
small, constructed of adobe. brush or
even of cane stalks. You are not look
ing at a town. but at a ranch settle
ment. In the great house. which costs
many times more than all the little
houses put together. live the hacien.
dado and his family. In the little
houses live the poems.
The typical farm in Mexico is not of
100 acres. but of 100000. In the
state of Morelos twenty-eight hacien-
dados own all the agricultural lands;
twelve own nine-tenths of them. The
territory of Quintana Roo. double the
size of Massachusetts,. is divided
among eight companies. The greater
portion Of the state of Yucatan is held
by thirty men. kings of sisal hemp. A
major fraction of the agricultural and
grazing lands Of chihuahua is owned
by one family. Lower California.
equal in size to Alabama. is nearly all
held by five great corporations.
The 1.0O0.0O0 acre farms lie mostly
fallow. Naturally rich agricultural
country. Mexico does not produce
enough corn and beans to feed her
own peon population. Modern ma
chinery Is needed. bur modern ma.
chinery will never be used extensively
so long as the peon is SO cheap that
primitive methods are cheaper than
machine methods.-World Outlook.

Drum Fire and Curtain Fire.

"Drum fire" and curtain fire" are
modern war terms. "Drum fire" Is the
firing OF artillery at stated intervals,
the resultant noise being described rs
like the steady hammering Of great
drum. When the desired effect of re-.
ducing the point Of the attack has been
accomplished the guns are elevated to
q higher point ana are fired continuous
ly, making curtain OF fire" to pre-
vent re-enforcements reaching the point
of attack from the rear and at the same
time allowing the infantry TO attack
under protection of the guns.

Horse Sense.

During heavy downpour. of rain an
Irish farmer sent his boy to distant
field to bring home horse. Some time
elapsed. and the messenger returned
without the horse.

Swords and Walking Sticks.

The walking stick. as we know 1t at
present gained its popularity in France
during the eighteenth century. when it
came to be carried by rich people who
had no right to wear swords. The
dandies twirled thin bamboo canes
in their fingers. but the great finan-
ciers. who had considerable influence
at that time, made the sticks fash
ionable additions to their wardrobes
and sometimes paid as much as 10000
crowns for one. This carrying of a
walking stick was regarded as a dem
ocratic triumph over the nobility. who
refused the conmoners the right to
wear swOrds.-London Standard.

Upon F. HALTON

When asked regarding the state
ment made by Sunny Jim" McCand-
less that Fred j. Halton did not know
how to talk about Hawaii, A. P. Tay.
Tor, secretary of the Hawaii Promotion
Committee, sal dthat Halton was fjIl.
ing his position in worthy manner
rs representative in San Francisco of
the Hawaii Promotion Committee.
"Halton was not sent to the main.
land as lecturer. He accomplishes
his work In other lines. Owing to his
personal acquaintance with the rail.
road and steamship men of America
he has been able to accomplish much
that no other man could do. We have
heard very favorable reports on his
work and results show that he is on
the job at all times. He has con-
scented to lecture when called upon,
btu this has never been part of his
duties. 1t is true, as McCandless
stated. that he has not lived in Ha-
wall long, but he has visited all of
the islands and knows how to talk
about them to the men who can do
much for Hawaii" he concluded.
