-WASHINGTON, June 23.-';The Amer

growing bigger, the jaw is shortening,
and . the facial angle is approaching
more nearly to a right angle.'
So says Prof. W. J. McGee, of the
bureau of ethnology, who has made a
more exhaustive study of this subject
than any other living scientist.

Enemy of Con: Crop.
The corn crop of the South is threat
ened with total loss by the destructive
onslaught of the larger cottou stalk
borer, a new enemy that has come to
devastate the fields of growing grain.
Many letters have been received by
State Entomologist Scott from farmers
in all sections of the State, and he has
received <?uite au interesting collection
of the worra and the stalks upon which
he finds his existence.
The worra is hatched from the eggs
of a moth that lays on the young stalk
of corn. The period of hatching re
quires little more than a week, and the
moment the new-born pest opens, its
eyes in thc new world he begins boring
his way into the heart of the stalk,
killing and poisoning the life of the
plant.
State Entomologist Scott, in an in
teresting interview this morning, tells
the full story of the worm and the
remedy that must bc applied to save
the crop from destruction.
Entomologist Scott, in speaking of
tbe worm that is so destructive, says:
' The larger cornstalk borer is a
large white caterpillar, dotted with
dark brown spots, which bores into
corn stalks preventing the growth of
the ears iu young corn and weakening
older stalks so that it is readily blown
down. It frequently occurs in such
numbers in corn fielda that one stalk
of corn may bc riddled with twenty or
thirty holes.
"This insect is quite well distribu
ted over the Southern States and fre
quently becomes very troublesome,
causing a loss of 25 to 50 per cent, of
the crop when it occurs in large num
bers. Aside from corn it also attacks
sugar cane, sorghum, and gama grass
or semain grass.
"The adult insect is a moth which
deposits eggs on young corn soon after
it comes up. The eggs soon hatch and
the young larva* bore into the stalk
from the ground to the third joint and
tunnel usually upward through the
pith. Corn stalks affected become
distorted and do not form ears. i
There is a second generation of this
insect which bores into th? well grown
stalks and so weakens them that they
are frequently blown over. This
second generation passes the winier in
the old corn stalks ready to produce a
spring brood to attack the next crop
of corn.
"Thc remedy for this insect consists
entirely of preventive measures. Since
the caterpillars over-winter in the old
com stalks they can be almost entirely
destroyed by burning these stalks in
the fall or winter after thc crop is
gathered.
"Our method of pulling the fodder
and leaving the stalks on the ground, j
or even cutting the corn and leaving
the butts, affords the very best condi- j
tions for this insect to hold over the j
winter and continue to multiply year
after year. The stalks should be
dragged off. collected and burned dur- !
ing the fall and winter. !
"'Again, corn should not follow corn
on infested lands. A system of rota
tion of crops should be adopted, so j
that corn will not be planted on the j
same land two years in succession.
The same is true of sugar cane and I
sorghum. Also swamps in which
gama grass is growing should be burn
ed over every year to destroy thc worm
infesting this grass. If these preven
tive measures are followed farmers j
need not suffer from attacks of the
pest."-Atlanta Journal.

Liquid Fuel.
Thc Sun has announc-id that thc
practicability of us&g liquid fuel ou
naval vessels is to bn tested on the
torpedo boat Talbot, which will conic
from Norfolk to New York, where a
year will be spent in conducting prac
tical trials with different inventions
for using petroleum as fuel. It is
easy to see that if petroleum may be
satisfactorily employed as fuel its usc
on torpedo boats will be especially ad
vantageous. It is particularly desira
ble on torpedo boats that their prox
imity should not be revealed by the
sight or the smell of smoke. Wheo
combustion is perfect on vessels or
locomotive engines using petroleum
fuel there is not a trace of smoke. It
would also be a great advantage to
cruisers or other war vessels that are
shadowing a hostile fleet to employ a
fuel that would not betray their pres
ence, for smoke gives ample warning
before the vessels from, which it issues
come into view. The great advanta
ges asserted for liquid fuel are the
absence of smoke and the large econo
my effected in the storage of oil as
compared with coal, and these advan
tages are most desirable on warships.
It has been found that a much longer
duration of supply may be obtained
from a given space stowed with petro
leum than from the same space stowed
with coal, and also that a ton of oil
will do as much work as two and a
half tons of coal. There seems to be
no doubt of the superiority of petro
leum over coal as a motive power for
engines, provided that it may be ap
plied adequately and without waste of
its utility.
There is nothing new about the use
of liquid fuel on locomotives. This
fuel has long driven the trains on the
Trans-Caspian Railroad, and it is also
in use on thc Trans-Siberian. Oil
burning locomotives are in common
use in southern California, and they
are fed from the petroleum deposits
that are worked at Los Angeles.
Some of the locomotives on the rail
road from Bcira, east Africa, to Salis
bury, Mashonaland, which was com
pleted only a few weeks ago, use oil
fuel. All trains passing through thc
Arlbueg tunnel in the Alps, six miles
long and connecting the Swiss and
Austrian Railroad systems, now avoid
smoke by using petroleum. It is also
used to some extent on the under
ground service in London, on the
Paris suburban trains and most of the
express trains of the Great Eastern
Railroad of England, in spite of the
fact that it is more expensive than
coal. It has been introduced also
with success in some Lancashire mills.
Sir Marcus Samuel, who is said to
be still the only exporter of oil in bulk
through the Suez canal, has the great
est confidence in the future of liquid
fuel, and believes that it will not ouly
come into common use on locomotives
and steamers, but also that it will be
employed for fuel in smelters, as the
intense heat that it is capable of gen
erating reduces the' most stubborn
ores. In a paper which he read re
cently before the society of arts, he
said that a locomotive burning oil will
maintain the same head of steam up
the steepest gradients, but the same
feat cannot be accomplished with coal,
where thc mere firing of che boiler
with fuel serves to damp ths furnace.
The investigations to be carried out
here and those that are iia progress
abroad are not for the purpose of as
certaining the value of liquid fuel, for
that has been demonstrated, but to
test the utility of thc various inven
tions for applying it. There are a
number of these inventions and
methods. Sir Marcus said in his
paper: "A vast field is open for the
ingeuuity of engineers in devising
other methods for thc utilization of
oil. In fact, almost daily discoveries
are being made of means by which
liquid fuel may be utilized to greater
advantage than any yet discovered,
and it would surprise me very much
if, with practice, the methods em
ployed do not continually improve."
Turning from the subject of liquid
fuel, it is interesting to refer to the
facts mentioned by Sir Marcus, show
ing thc prejudice that formerly exist
ed against thc transportation of oil in
bulk, due largely to the common belief
that it was a very dangerous business.
A part of the opposition, however, was
offered by competing carriers, who
were against the introduction of tank
steamers. It was some years before
steamers carrying eil in bulk were
allowed to pass through thc Sue/canal
at all, and there was not a port where
obstacles were not raised when any
attempt was made to introduce oil in
bulk not an accident has occurred.
Thc government would not permit
tanks to be erected on the island of
Singapore, but compelled the company
to discharge its cargoes on the neigh
boring island of Freshwater. More
liberal ideas arc now entertained. At
Bombay, where permission to land thc
oil was not given until two years ago,
the tanks arc now placed right among
the shipping and thc oil is pumped
into tank cars that are run alongside,
and thus petroleum is sent to all parts
of India.-Neto York Sun.
