pine blister rust Is an instance. This
parasitic fungus Is native TO the Old
World. attacking the stone pine and
other native flve-leaved pines OF Eu-
rope. When extensive interest In
planting forest trees first began to de-
velop about score of years ago. white
pines imported from Germany, France
and Holland. brought this disease to
the United States. principally in 1908
and 1909.
The fungus cannot go directly from
one pine tree to another but first mus,
spend part of Its life on currant or
gooseberry leaves and in this stage II
has the power of spreading rapidly
and widely to other currant and goose
berry bushes. The fungus then de-
velops another stage by which it is en-
abled to pass from the currant or
gooseberry bushes back to the pines.
There are some people who believe
we have been bringing in plants from
abroad for so many years that now we
have all OF the pests to which plants
are heir. This Is a mistake. in the
opinion of plant physicians who are
best qualified to know. The Bureau

on Western Long Island in 1904 and
two years later 1t had reached south
ward to Philadelphia. In ten years u
spread over half of the chestnut area
of the United States and at the present
time II has practically exterminated
the chestnut trees within 100 mile
radius of New York, and Is rapidly
accomplishing the complete ruin OF
our magnificent chestnut forests OF the
South. The loss caused by this single
imported pest is many million dollars
and its ultimate end will be the ex'tnc-
ton of one of the most useful and most
profitable Amer ican forest trees only
recently 1t was found that similar
disease attacking the poplars had been
imported from the nurseries OF France
and had spread over wide area OF
the United States.

Some other pests introduced from
abroad are the Oriental peech moth,
The japanese beetle. the European ear

Club, through the efforts of Morris K.
Jesup. Begun in October, 1904, she
was launched in March, 1905, and
made her trial trip in June, starting
north on her first expedition imme-
diately. She reached the highest point
in the Arctic region on this trip, but
was badly mauled by ice. Returning
in 1906 for extensive repairs, she was
again ready for a northern venture IN
1908. On July 6, after being reviewed
and given Eodspeed by Colonel Roose-
welt at oyster Bay, at which time
Quentin Roosevelt picked four-leafed
clover for ME, she set out, proceeding
northward to Kane Basin through
Robson Channel and establishing
winter quarters at Cape Sheridan. In
February of the following year l left
for Cape Columbia and the Pole was
reached in April of 1903.
THE Roosevelt returned to the
United States in October, 1909. She
was sold later to John Arbuckle, of
Brooklyn and used as a powerful sea-
going wreeking tug. In this work she
salvaged 3 number of ships off the
coast from New England to the
Florida Keys. After the death of Mr.
A-buckle che. remained idle for a few
years; then she attractIl 49, atlcu.ion

hood of the Gulf Stream and later
proceeded through the Panama Canal
to Seattle. During her stay'in that
city the Roosevelt was given the post
of honor in leading the naval pageant
on the occasion Of the opening of the
Lake Washington Canal. Since that
time. working from Seattle as base,
the Roosevelt has carried on the du-
ties assigned her in connection with
her government work"
Obviously, the polar exploit of the
Roosevelt stands out permanently as
the great event of her career. Interest
centers on this experience. In fact.
it was for this that she was specially
built; the details of her building,
therefore, are worthy of note.
Designed For Arctic Waters
In form and construction she was
designed to overcome severe conditions
of service. The model selected was
intended to meet the requirements of
lifting under pressure, of being short
enough to handle easily and of being
able to ram a passage through ice
barriers effectively and continuously.
