WEE BEETLE
Cntomologlst Blames Dorlng Insect
for Withering Dogwoods
Remedy Now Lacking.
Philadelphia Householders who
finvo been wondering why tho branch--r
of the dogwood trees In their yards
and In front of their houses were
withering need wonder no longer.
Kclentlllc Investigation of the ento-
mologist of tho Academy of Natural
Kclences have established tho fact
ihat the trews are being destroyed by
h "boring fleshy wornillko larva of
n Huprostls beetle a medium-sized
thick necked Insect of dull color.
This was announced by Wltmor
fltone the curator of the academy. He
explained that many specimens of
dogwood troos had been submitted to
41m entomologist and that he had ex-
amined them carefully
Tho conclusion Is reached that this
Insect Is doing the damage. It Is a
nllo of a beetle and deposits Its eggs
under tho bark. Its color Is such that
it Is not easily noticed which ac-
counts for the fact that so many per-
sons have been puwled over the cause
of the destruction of the dogwood
trees
Ends of the slender brunches of the
nrnamental dogwoods have withered
dud dropped off. When examined with
tho nakod eye nothing was discern-
ible Hut the ontoinologlst used the
j.ikruscope and got at the root of the
it rouble. He was quick to blame the
'nningo on the apparently harmless
1i)'..fis that multiply by the millions
mil that have been eating the life out
of dvinths dogwood Iroes through
put the city.

BIRCH LEA
Work of Skeletonizcr Moth Says
Massachusetts Forester.
Scores of Letters From Different Parts
of State Inquiring as to Cause
Damage Done by tho
Tlneld Moth.
Iloston. During tho last two wvoks
tho state forester F. W. llano has re-
ceived scores of letters from different
parts of tho state inquiring Into tho
cause of tho damage to tho birch trees
tho leaves of which everywhere have
become yellow or brown and nro drop-
plug off. So gonornl Is the desire for
Information that the state forester
through tho medium of the press de-
sires to give tho public thu following
facts:
Thu Insect causing the damage Is
known as tho birch-leaf skelutonlzor
(bucculatrlx cnuadenslsella) one of
tho tlneld moths The outbreak of
tho Insect Is by no moans unprece-
dented as a similar condition obtained
over a considerable portion of Massa-
chusetts In 1001 also In the eastern
portion of Now York stato.
I.lttlo Is known concerning tho llfo
history ami habits of tho Insect. Tho
moth Is small wings expanding about
three-fourths of an Inch. The larvao or
caterpillars measure lo than ono-
quarter Inch long nud occur tho latter
part of August or early In September
feeding on tho soft parenchyma of tho
leaf and skeletonizing It thoroughly. At
this tlmo small oval cocoons mny bo
observed here and there on tho loaves.
Theso nro spun by tho catorplllar dur-
ing n molt. Tho true cocoons are
brownish yellow ribbed structures
about one fifth Inch In length.
INJURES TREE
No suggestion Is made at this tlmo
as to a possible remedy but the ns-
surnnce Is given that an effort will be
made to Unci something that can bo
used effectively In killing theso de-
structive bugs.
TURKEY'S DIET IS BETTER
Dr. Fenton B. Turck of Chicago At-

Detroit Mich. Well-cooked vegeta-
bles rice and meat as opposed to New

controlled Turk tho superior of the
nervous lank Now Knglnuder."
This wns tho contention put before
the Mississippi Valley Medical asso-
ciation the other day by Dr. Fenton 11.
Turck of Chicago.
"Diet has more to do with tho ma-
king of groat mou nr the deteriorating
of the human nice to tho level of the
brute than anything else" declared
Doctor Turck
"Compare that armor plate mlnre
pie diet Indulged In by all America
with tlw two sane meals a day that
are enabling Turkey to produce the
finest specimens of physical manhood
In tho world. Mince pie and beans
are bringing about race deterioration
not alone in Connecticut and Maine."

Theso may be so nbundant ns to
give color to portions of Infested
leaves. They nro spun during tho lat-
ter part of September and tho Insect
passes tho winter within. No perma-
nent Injury to tho trees Is likely to
follow tho attack of this Insect ns tho
post has shown that Its outbreaks havo
been quickly suppressed by natural
enemies.
Hy an act recently passed by tho leg-
islature tho state forestor Is authorized
to accept on behalf of tho common-
wealth bequests or gifts to bo used In
furthering tho forestry Interests In the
state.
This act enables owners of waste
land which Is of no present valuo and
on which tho taxes nro looked upon
as so much money thrown away an op-
portunity to frco himself of tho burden
and bo assured nt tho samo tlmo that
tho land wilt be convorted Into a for-
est growth which will ndd much to
the valuo of tho surrounding property
nud Improve tho scenic beauty of tho
section.
It Is also hoped that public spirited
parties will contribute to tho undertak-
ing and make posslhlo tho purchase of
some of tho low priced land In the
commonwealth.
Of tho 700000 acres of waste land In
tho state It seems a portion of this
largo area might bo brought Into valuo

A section of the rampart of Fort

hours of capturing tho capital of tho
I'nlted Stntos. That waa In tho sum-
nier of 1801.
That a part of Fort Stevens stands
Is not due to any organized effort to
preserve this historic landmark but la
duo only to tho fact that tho fort Ih
not yet required for building sites.
Washington's suburbs have grown
northward to the fort and over lapped
It Most of the earthworks have been
leveled and a little unpaved street
runs through the middle of the fort.
Historic Locust Tree.
Ono sido of that street has been built
up with small framo houses. Tho
north faco of tho fort which fronted
tho southern troops hns not been lev-
eled nor has tho broad deep ditch
the dry moat been filled.
On tho spot where Lincoln stood a
black locust tree has grown and on
tho trunk of this tree has been nailed
n rude signboard on which that In-
teresting fact Is Inscribed. In tho plc-
turo n man ono of tho dwellers In tho
fort street. Is seated nud leans agulnst
tho treo. Above him may be seen tho
sign board.
Tho proposition that this fort site
bo secured by tho government and
presorved frequently has been broach-

zations havo passed fitting resolutions
but the matter always has ended In

PRAYED JUST TO KILL TIME
Blind Chaplain Implored to Keep at It
While the Lost Journal Was
Being Sought.
Thore Is a good deal of quiet laugh-
ter going on whon two or throo of tho
members get together over a prayer
made by Rev. Dr. Coudon whon ho
was chaplain of tho houso. Chnplnln
Couden who 1b known as tho blind
chaplain having been totally blind for
nearly half a century from bursting of
shells In tho war Is a very special
pleader making an npponl to tho Most
High In a ery pcrsonnl manner. In
this particular prayer ho was doptorlng
muckraking and told tho Lord nil
about it very effectively. It recalled
to mind a prayer made by a chaplain
a good many years ago which was re-
called by a member of tho houso who
stated he had actually forgotten who
made the prayer or who wns spoaker
at tho time. Ho onl) remembered tho
Incident. "The Journnl clerk" relatos
the member "rushed Into tho houso
nnd up to the desk whtlo thu chaplain
was praying. Tho chaplain stands
right beside tho Journal clork illo ho
prays. Tho clerk looked ovor iho pa-
pers on his desk In n very hasty man-
ner and then leaned ovor to tho chap-
lain slamming his papers about nil tho
time nud snld: 'Keep on praying. Wo
"iin't find tho Journnl.
"Mr. Chaplain was so startled that
he faltorcd In his prayer but after a
moment ho scorned to grasp tho situ-
ation. He bowed his head still lower
and continued to pray. Tho usual
time devoted to prayer In tho houso is
nSout ono minute. Members bogan to
shift uneasily on their feet to look nt
their watches nnd. Instead of bowing
their heads In rovorenco they looked
at the speaker pleadingly. Tho speak-
er evidently had been Informed of
the illlllculty nnd realizing that tho
business of tho houso could not pro-
ceed without tho Journnl ho was will-
ing that tho mombers get plenty of
prner. After ten minutes' solid pray-
ing tho preacher showed signs of get-
ting nervous. Ho know tho mombors
were getting restive nnd ho looked
down to ono of tho clerks.
" 'Don't stop' plcnded tho clerk. 'Wo
haven't found It yet.'
"Tho preacher did not stop until ho
had been praying for 15 minutos at
tho end of which tlmo tho Journnl
clerk rushed Into tho houso bearing
tho precious book under his arm.
" 'Amen' Bald tho chaplain with a
sigh of relief and tho speaker prompt-
ly ordered tho clerk to read tho Jour-
nnl of tho preceding dny's business.'-
