Seven circuits of the earth in pursuit of parasites preying upon destructive scale pests. That is the record of George Compere up to date. Seven times through the Red sea on his way to the Orient upon his strange quest. Now he is in Ceylon looking for parasites for pests damaging orchards in Australia. In this work of world-wide bug-hunting he is jointly employed by the State of California and the government of West Australia. Two years ago he introduced to California a parasite for the codlin moth, and that insect has been successfully propagated by Deputy Horticultural Commissioners E. M. Ehrhorn and E. K. Carnes and has been distributed in large numbers among the apple orchards of the state and is destroying the moth by the million. During that same year Compere introduced into West Australia a parasite or natural enemy of the fruit fly. This bug was in the shape of a large beetle, but it was not introduced at just the right season. It seems that the bug, after having a tough voyage from Bahia, Brazil to Freemantle, West Australia, via London and Marcelles, arrived at its destination at a season when its natural food, the fruit fly, was in the dormant stage, and the newcomers could not make a living. But the next year Compere was off because the parasite depends on pest as its food, and where scarce but few parasites are found. So Compere is compelled to diligently and to scan the countryside great care after he discovers whereabouts of the desired insects. Compere’s peculiar following a romance to his life. He is using his methods. He is alone in the world in this ceaseless, earl-cling quest for bugs. And this is because California West Australia are the only country in the world which make a prairie phase of insectology, and Compere is the joint and only field employer by those two nations. Then the strange places, people and odd adventures within Compere’s journeying add a zest and interest to his life. He crosses and recrosses the oceans, traverses the widest part of the world and runs up against waves, famine, social disturbances all kinds of personal adventure. Three years ago while hunting India for a parasite for the fruit which he afterwards discovered Brazil, he had a hairsbreath from an immense boa-constrictor. At the time, he was pressed through a dense forest or jungle upon an ox cart and accompanied native guides. Suddenly a crayfish from the natives who fled preyed on him and as he raised his eyes to some hanging branches he came face with the snake which was attacking it by throwing its coils. Compere gained for and he wasted no making himself scarce in that rate vicinity. This bug was in the shape of a large beetle, but it was not introduced at just the right season. It seems that the bug, after having a tough voyage from Bahia, Brazil to Freemantle, West Australia, via London and Marcelles, arrived at its destination at a season when its natural food, the fruit fly, was in the dormant stage, and the newcomers could not make a living. But the next year Compere was off again to the South America republic for another consignment of beetles, and this time the transportation of the insects from one country to another was better timed, and the fruit fly pest of West Australia appears now doomed to complete extermination. No sooner had Compere landed his consignment of beetles in West Australia than he was off again, bug hunting, this time bound for the Orient in quest of a parasite for the red and purple scales that have been so disastrous to the orange and lemon trees of Southern California. These two pests are common to California and West Australia, so that the search was for the benefit of both countries. In the province of Canton, China, Compere discovered what he was looking for. It was in the shape of a tiny fly, so small as to be hardly visible to the naked eye. As may be imagined the capture and transportation of such a minute insect, the transferring of it alive from one side of the world to the other, was an undertaking of no mean magnitude. It could not be caught with any ordinary net or imprisoned with any assurance that it would not escape in transit. Accordingly extraordinary methods had to be adopted for handling it. And this was the way it was done: Small lemon trees infected with the scales were secured in California, carefully boxed and sent to Compere in far-off China. Upon receipt the trees were exposed to the little parasite; the fly was quickly attracted to this new supply of the natural food and the trees very soon were impregnated with the new insect. Then they were boxed up again and shipped back to San Francisco for breeding and distribution among the orange and lemon orchards. The trees were sent over in cold storage, and as the insects failed to reproduce into West Australia a parish site or natural enemy of the fruit fly.

Upon receipt the trees were exposed to the little parasite; the fly was quickly attracted to this new supply of the natural food and the trees very soon were impregnated with the new insect. Then they were boxed up again and shipped back to San Francisco for breeding and distribution among the orange and lemon orchards. The trees were sent over in cold storage, and as the insects failed to revive after being released from it, it was the conclusion that they had been frozen to death in transit, and it was for the purpose of making a second attempt at introducing this little fly to California and West Australia that Compere, in the early part of last year again started for the Orient. The efforts of 1906 were more successful, and the horticultural department has a vigorous colony of the tiny wasps and seems in a fair way to breed them in sufficient numbers to overcome the two pests for which they are the natural parasites. The finding of a desired parasite is not such an easy job even after all the difficulties of travel and exploration have been overcome; for it is not in a section plentifully infested by a pest that Compere searches, for where the pest is plentiful it is self-evident that its natural enemy or parasite is lacking, else the pest would be overcome. First, Compere studies the life history of both pest and parasite; then he seeks for the parasites in such part of the world as the pest is known to have at some time prevailed, but is now held in subjugation by its parasite. But here is another difficult feature to overcome. Where the pest is but few in number, there also will be found a corresponding scarcity of parasite; But time has proved that millions of dollars squandered state of Massachusetts had been factual and the gypsy moth had spreading. At last some citizens of Boston began to co-direct with us in this office ask to undertake to hunt up and in the natural enemy of the gypsy into the infested sections of Massachusetts. When we supplied them wires and the people had accepted our terms, then and then did the department at Washington send experts immediately to procure parasites. "All this time Dr. Howard has that the natural insect enemy gypsy moth existed in Europe remained silent and saw millions dollars wasted in futile end suppress the moth by artificial." What I want to know is—it that Dr. Howard did not do the matter until the California Massachusetts people went to work. And when this pest has finally exterminated, which it will be, the people are on the right give credit for its suppression likely to California." Count Boni de Castellane's says he would like to become American. All we ask is does not try to make it a fair fair. On Capital Removal As a matter of curious speculation the question when the proposition to authorize the removal of the state capital is to be submitted to the voters is being discussed. It is contended that there is grave doubt as to this and that whether the matter will be decided at the polls November, 1908, or two years later, will in all probability rest on the meaning of the phrase, "Next general state election." It is rumored that ultimately Sacramento will raise this point, and if it is decided in the courts that the matter can legally be presented only in 1910, it will give the supporters of the present capital an opportunity to have the bill recently passed repealed. Article XX, section 1, of the constitution of California, adopted in 1879, declares that the removal of the capital must be decided on by "a majority of the qualified voters of the state voting therefor at a general state election." The point raised is whether by general state election is meant what is known as the presidential election, which will be held in 1908, and at which assemblymen and state senators will also be elected, or the election four years from last November, when the governor and other state officers, including senators and assemblymen to succeed those elected in 1908, will be chosen. The question involves close-drawn legal distinctions.

The question involves close-drawn legal distinctions. Partisans of the present site may withhold action until within a short time before the election of next year. The matter would then be in court in November, necessitating the postponement of the election. At the time of the movement for the transfer of the capital to San Jose, fourteen years ago, the act providing for the proposition being submitted to the people was passed by the legislature on January 30, 1893. It would have been submitted to the people in November, 1894, at the presiidential election, corresponding to that which will be held in 1908. The matter was never voted upon, however, as a flaw in the bill prevented its being laid before the voters. However, the question of the correct time at which it would have been voted on was not touched upon. Military Notes The following order has been issued by Adjutant General Lauck: Sacramento, March 19, 1907. The commanding officer of each com­pany of infantry will select not more than four men from his company, and the commanding officer of each regiment will select two men from the non-commissioned staff or band, to partici­pate in a regimental competition. Such selections will be made from those who have competed on the home range, between January 1 and June 1, 1907, and have made sixty-five per cent of the possible of all scores. A camp of instruction in target prac­tice for the purpose of holding a regimental competition will be arranged for by the commanding officer of each regiment, to take place at some suit­able point within the limits of the regiment and to be held between June 1 and 15, 1907.

Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo. O.
