Are we in danger of a foreign invasion?
No; the Invaders are upon us
and doing much more damage than
^ an army would do. One foreign invader
from Hesse Cassel costs the
farmers in the wheat belt from $50,
000,000 to 1100,000,000 annuauy.
A tough-backed invader from Mexico
is crossing the cotton belt, eating
$25,000,000 worth of fibre between
early July and late frost.
'Another invader whose original
home is stated by various experts to
have been in Asia or In Mexico is
costng the United States government
and a dozen states $1,300,000 to
check his annual ravages among the
fruit trees.
Still another alien enemy has recently
been slaying the woodland
. shades and roadside trees and doing
" incalculable damage to the forest
areas of the nation. His ravages have
never been estimated..
Officials of the Department of Agriculture
say that fifty per cent of the
damage done by pests and parasites
among the orchards and crops of the
United States is caused by foreign
winged plagues that have been allowed
to gain a foothold in the couu I
*.r y
Every other civilized nation guards
against the Introduction of stinging
flying, creeping things that devour
the strength of vegetation. The United
States does not. There are no
statutes making such action mandatory,
and if there were there is no
machinery to put 'in action against
these pests. European governments
j watch every entry port carefully,
f The orchardists of Europe watch
^ -every shipment of nursery stock that
Is sent from the United States. Their
shipments to this country arrive and
are unpacked and bugs and flying
things that are death to vegetation
flutter out and make for themselves
new homes In a new land. In a few
years the department experts are hur
rylng to the despairing calls of the
orchardists who are making a losing
lght against some new and extraordinary
kind of pest that is withering,
their trees.
One of the winged plagues poisoned
hundreds of people in New England
last summer and fall. One man
died of the effects of what was known
as the "browntail rash/' so called because
it was caused by the presence of
P millions of "brown tail moths/'
brought over from Europe years ago
by some careless shipper. Whole
townships turned out to fight them
last year.
The gypsy moth is another tree devastator
that is slowly being spread
all over the United States. Both these
moths came originally from Europe.
^ They are but two of our foreign in
vaders. Five hundred tons or lead
arsenate were used In New England
last year In the stubborn fight made
against these two.
The San Jose scale of infamous
memory was a terrible invader. A
tree lover near San Jose, Cal., found
certain parasites on his orchards.
These spread to the trees of his
neighbors. In a few years the San
Jose scale was all over the United
States. It Is dying out now. An
0 indefatigable professor traced it here
and there over th? world and finally
located its original home somewhere
In China.

number of their old victims, the

Jose scale remaining in the United
States to cost the farmer and fruit
grower about $10,000,000 yearly.
An evil-looking bug came across
the Rio Grande near Brownsville,
Tex., in 1892. Nothing has ever
checked him since that time. He
crossed Texas, Arkansas and Oklahoma,
jumped the Mississippi in 1908
on/i onmA rinv Hnnn will have reached
the Atlantic unless checked. He has
cost the cotton planters nearly $125,000,000
since he invaded Texas, and
for the last three years he has been
gobbling up the cotton bales to the
tune of $25,000,000 yearly. Altogether
he has eaten up millions of
bales. The boll weevil has forty-flve
parasitic enemies, but they are tbo
weak for him.
In the East the entomologists hope
N to kill off the gypsy moths during the
^ present season by Introducing "moth
cholera" among, their invading
swarms. It is *known as the "wilt*
and the infected moths die of it by
tens of thousands. Their bodies become
putrid and semi-liquid. Another

from their old homes in Europe, will
be turned loose among their breeding
areas soon. A particularly savage

Her.
The strident scream of an owl and
its shadowy form and gleaming eyes
frightened Mrs. O'Neill, the beautiful
bride of Assistant Corporation Counsel
James T. O'Neill, of Brooklyn, to
death Tuesday night.
The bird first appeared on Monday
night while Mr. and Mrs. O'Neill,
with hands on each other's shouldflp?
wfipfl walking along the road
from fashionable Argyll Park to
Dabylon. It flew In front of their
faces, then hid In the tlrees and
screamed.
The sunshine and the bright green-*
ery of Argyll Park banished from
the minds of both, on Tuesday, alt
memory of the incident. Tuesday
evening they started again upon their
customary walk to the village. They
had scarcely left the lights of home
behind when a double shriek, long
drawn out and terrifying, assailed
their ears, and a spectacular form,
with huge yellow eyes, ewoopeu
swiftly toward them. It veered
off only within a few feet.
After taking Mrs. O'Neill, who
was frightened, home. O'Neill
started out again alone, recalling, the
lines from Macbeth:
It was the owl that shrieked, the
fatal bellman
Which gives the stern's good-night.
Later Mr. O'Neill and his bride exchanged
some joking words about
her fears and retired; Of a sudden. I
when all was still, there came a !
blood-chilling shriek, a tearing or |
clawe and a beating, of wfngs at the
wires of the window screen, and the
vision of the great golden eye peering
in from the darkness.
Mrs. O'Neill started up with an
answering scream, then fell hack,
Mr. O'Neill, with a word of anger,
sprang for a walking stick and
jumped out upon a balcony. He was
just in time to swing and miss at
the form that flopped leisurely
away.
He spoke a cheering word as he
reentered the room. There was no j
reply. He snapped on a light. His
bride way lying senseless. He sprang |
to the telephone and called Father

Just about this time in the year
the first despairing wails of the

WAR ON THE FI.Y
WORLD WIDE PLOT TO SLAY
THE LITTLE PEST.
Scientists Claim That Typhoid Fever
Would Practically Disappear Were
the Flies All Killed.
During these hot summer days in
which flies glory and In which they
thrive enthusiastically, it is well for
every indivdual person to boar in
mind a few facts concerning thoee
house hold pests. In the first place!
a single harmless fly may carry from
550 to 6,600,000 bacteria. These
germs may be, often are, the germs of
typhoid fever, in part. The fly bears
away virulent typhoid bacilli not only
upon its tiny legs but also in its
digestive organs.
These germs it carries to food,
leaving them In quantities on every
tiny spot of food touched by a fly
which has come from a typhoid patient's
room. A colony of bacteria,
begins to grow with wonderful rapidity.
A person not in fit physical condition;
and few are in hot summer
weather, has an excellent chance to
catch ty.pho'd fever from this con.aminated
food. One case of fever
tcnn, of coutve. furnishes the boundless
possibilities for other cases.
It is by the careful experiments of
scientists that the habits of flies are
made known.
Leland O. Howard, chief of the
United States government bureau of
entomology, in his "The House Fly,
Disease Carrier," a compleeetaoinfl5
Disease Carrier," a complete manual
on the fly and how to fight it, published
by Frederick A. Stokes company,
this spring, gives scores of experiments,
which show that disease
germs by the millions have been
fnnnri on flips hv both laboratory
scientists and army surgeons.
Back in 1898, Surgeon General Dr.
George M Sternberg, of the United
Stat>es army, waned the army gathering
for the Spanish-American war
that flies would carry typhoid in
crowded camps. His warnings were
somewhat neglected. Flies were allowed
to swarm from the tents of the
sick soldiers to the tables of the well,
and so every regiment of the United
States army dveloped typhoid fever.
In the national encampments in
1 898, one-fifth of the soldiers developed
typhoid. While water was
partly to blame, the doctors have retermineh
that the fly was the chief
agent for this terrible spread of disease.
(Doctors Tooth and Calverly of
the British army, found in the Boer
war that in tents full of sick men,

alone, 'but settled pitilessly
on the faces of tyiphoid patients?and
then swarmed over food It was then
noted that when the cold weather
killed the flies, the typhoid stopped.
From India, Lieut. Col. F. W. C.
ones shows that flies are the chief
carriers of typhoid; and that all who
carelessly ?at food which have been
allowed to be touched by the filthbearing
flies, are rothing less than
eaters of filth.
Aside from army camps, in the
ordinary peaceful cities, proofs of
the fly's disease-bearing have been
h though here. where there are
no army surgeons in charge if tvory
man, it is harder to Investigate.
As for the wholesome country, doctors
have shown that practically nl'
of the terribly prevalent typhoid lk.
borne, not so much by bad water, as
by flies.
Once the coontry flies gather the
germs, they can leave them in milk
or butter for transportation to crowded
cities. They gather thickly about
most dairies, markets, etc. And typhoid
germs will live in milk for 20
days ready to infect in the very
milk that goes to children?while in
butter the germs will live for 14*
days.
-In the laboratory, many scientists
have lyy careful experiments proved
that flies do carry germs every time
they touch them. In a number of
cases cited by Dr. L. O. Howard in
his book, scientists have had flies
walk over and feed on solutions containing
typhoid bacilli. When a*!?0e
flies were transferred to clean containers,
they always were found to
enrrv the eerms to the new vessels.
(Typhoid causes more deaths in one
year than yellow fever does in fifty?
and flies cause 95 per cent, of typhoid
in nrany rural and some city
districts.
What makes is most dangerous is
that even where there are no typhoid
patients about, still flies can
collect the germs and carry them, for
a goodsized proportion of typhoid patients,
even when absolutely cured
so far as feeling goes, continue to be
"chronic carriers," and are likely tc
,be sources of danger for the rest
of their lives?unles the flies that
carry these germs are destroyed.
There is only one posible manner
in wihch the constant mer.ace from
typhoid germs nvay be avoided?the
whole community must work togeth
er, hlanning to end the fly scourge
That is what 'Major Wanhill did witt
his typhoid afflicted Brithish troops ir
Bermuda. In two years he almos
wiped out typhoid, largely by ending
the fly nuisance.
The fly should have nc place li
which to be born. If, however, h<
. does suceed in entering the world h<
' should find no space therein in whicl
to live. There should be a "worl
1 altogether plan" against him.

she would soon break out with terrible

SAID SHE WAS INSANE
rho Case is * One of Much Interest
to tlie People of Ashevllle, Where
the Hospital is Located. The Doctor
Ordered by Court to Releaee
the Woman.
On the strength of the report of
he board of examining physicians,
composed of Dr. D. E. Sevier, Dr. L?.
3. McBrayer and Dr. G. W. Purefoy,
Appointed by Judge Carter to inquire
nto the sanity of Mrs. Alice Muckow,
who alleged that she was being
letained by Dr. Ro.bert S. Carroll at
lis sanitarium at Asheville, N. C.,
igainst her will and that she was beng
illegally deprived of her liberty,
Judge Carter Saturday signed a
judgment decreeing in effect that
Mrs. Muck low was sane; that she
was illegally restrained of her lib?
crty and directed the said Dr. Robert
S. Carroll release her.
The order also provides that Dr.
Carroll shall pay all costs in the proceeding,
including $30 each to the
examining physician and $49.95 to
Miss Amy Emanuel for stenographic
work. This judgment in effect informs
the world that Mrs. Mucklow,
who spent three and one half
years in tho Carroll sanitarium is
a sane person -and that she was illegally
detained. The case reads like
fiction, but every word of it is true.
Many other sane persons, no doubt,
are locked up in private sanitariums.
The case of iMrs. Mucklow is interesting.
She is an accomplished
lady, a daughter of a late English officer,
educated in Germany, and at
the death of her father left an estate
of 3,000 pounds, or $15,000,
the revenue from which amounted to
approximately $S0 per month. Three
and one-half years ago she was placed
in the Carroll sanitarium. There

weeks ago, when on a writ of habeas
corpus sued out before Judge Carter
at the instance of Judge Adams, of
police court, she was produced In
court, the writ having directed again
Dr. Carroll to produce his patient.
At that time it wa/3 contended
for Dr. Carroll that the lady was nsane
and should not be at liberty.
Affidavits were filed with the Court
and Judge Carter, pursuing a wise
course, decided that a board of three
physicians should inquire into Mrs.
Mucklow's mental conditionfl Dr. Sevier
was named one of the physiclons,
while counsel for Dr. Carroll was
privileged to name a second, and the
counsel for Mrs. Mucklow a third
physician. The board as finally constituted
was composed of Drs. Sevier,
McPrayer, and Purefoy.
In the meantime, however, Judge
Carter directed that Mrs. Mucklow
he given into the custody of the sheriff
of the County. This was done
and since that time she has been with
friends in the city. It was claimed
by Mrs. Mucklow that she could not
endue longer the treatment accorded
her at the Carroll sanitarium. She
declared that she had been made a
"subjct'' for demonstration purposes,
and that the humiliation was more
than she could endure.
She wrote a letter to Judge Adams
of the Police Court, imploring him
to render her assistance in an effort
to free herself from the sanitarium.
She also wrote another letter to an
Asheville lady. These letters succeded
in reaching the persons to
whom thy were addressed and Judge
Adams took the matter up and on the
affidavit of Police Captain Jordan
that on information and belief Mrs.
Muchlew was illegally re strained
of her liberty by Dr. Carroll, a writ
of habeas corpus was issued.
Just what further steps if any will
now be taken in this mater is not
made known. It has been rumored
lioweveif, fch'at ^n the event Mris.
Mucklow was found to be a person
of sound mind the matter would not
he allowed to drop, that an effort
might be made to have Dr. Carroll's
license revoked and also that a suit
for damages might be instituted
Those reports, however, could not
be confirmed Saturday, the counsel
for Mrs. Mucklow declining to
discuss the case sayng that they had
not yet decided upon their future
course.
