bombs on ships.
Henry Barth, bomb squad detective,
gave the names of two British freight
ers, Tynninghame and Inchmoor, which,
he swore, Won Kleist mentioned as yes
sells on which the alleged plotters placed
bombs. The Inchmoor was found atire

Two fires in December, 1915, within a

George D. Baritz, also a bomb squad

the defendants placed bombs on ships in
the harbor, usually six or eight to the
vessels, with explosives sometimes in
sugar bags.
The case was adjourned until Monday.

similar to that of other species, such as
the onion thrips and bean thrips. The

plant juices withdrawn, causing the cells
TO shrivel and turn white. When a mum

spots. Ii the attack is severe the whole
leaf surface becomes invested by these
spots and finally shrivels and dies.
Spraying has been found to be the
most effective means of controlling this
insect both in the greenhouse and out of
doors. The following solution used in
one experiment killed all adult insects
