New York.—A heavy truck loaded
high with kegs of liquor was jolting
across a line of city car tracks when
one of the kegs toppled and fell from
the top of the pile into the street. It
was thoroughly smashed, so the
truckman whipped up his team and
went his way without stopping. The
rum flowed out over the street—one
jittle dent in the paving collecting &
visible puddle of it.

thus fortunately provided for thirsty
birds. The initial taste was a sur

followed and soon the pigeon tottered
fluttering away, too overcome to fly.
Other birds, seeing him there and
anxious to wet their throats, followed
their “brother in his path of wicked
intemperance.
' Five minutes later a passerby was
astonished to see a dozen pigeons in
the gutter of the otherwise deserted
street, some dancing drunkenly, oth.

away a hound of disreputable appear

lay in the gutter among the pigeons,

Cotton Caterpillar
En Route to Georgia
‘Atlanta, June s.—State Knto
mologist Worsham says that con
ditions are ripe for an invasion of
the cotton caterpillar in Georgia
in Augnst or early September and
he advises growers to begin plan
ning row to combat the pests. The
most effective remedy is powder
ed arsenate of lead, three pounds
to the acre.
Last year the pest swept from
Mexico across the entire cotton
belt, and before frost fell full
orown individuals were found as
far east as Boston and New York,
showing Its ability to travel. Th 2
long severe winter exterminated
all in this country, but another in
vasion has crossed the Mexican
border and is officially reported
now near Brownsville, Texas,
“*As the crop is late this year,”
said Mr, Worsham, ‘“‘the pest will

batted in September. We have
photographs showing the first
official record of an invasion of
the caterpillar in Georgia in 1798,
The photos were made by Smith
and Abbott forthe British museum.
As is well known, the pest comes
in cycles. The last previous in
vasion was some fifteen years ago.”
