EFFECTIVE REMEDY FOR DESPERATE CASES

Prof. L. O. Howard, chief entomologist of
the United State Agricultural department
and president of the American Arsoclatlon
for the Advancement of Science, contrib
ute to the Chicago Tribune a paper of par
ticular Interest to housekeeper. The
summer season, now rapidly approaching,
will have it cuitomary train ot household
prat. How to get' rid of them, effectively
nd scientifically, forms the text ot the
professors remark.
Good housekeeper throughout the whole
United States hktr frequent occasion to
consult entomologist a to the best mean
of ridding their house of Insects, which,
through the fact that they have succeeded
In accommodating themselves to the con
ditions of civilisation, have become rather
distinctively aa Insect of the household.
The problem Is a much more serious on
in the south than In the north, yet meet
of these Insects occur In the northern
state well In the southern. In the
latter, however, they are apt to be more
abundant. Their occurrence in the north
is due to the fact that houses are artificially
heated In the winter time, thus affording
opportunity to breed throughout the entire
season. Flea, cockroaches, house centi
pede, anU (especially the little red ant),
"allver fish" or 'licker,' book 11c.
clothes moths, the buffalo carpet beetle, the
black carpet beetle and the hosts of In
sects which affect stored product and
other found breeding In storerooms or pan
tries which are carelessly kept by Indiffer
ent housekeeper comprise the principal In
sect known a household lnsecU.
Heaseeleaata Not laffleteat.
The remedies applied In the past against
all these different Insects have none . ot
them been thoroughly effective In the ab
sence of constant watchfulness, perfect
cleanliness, and frequent upsetting ot the
whole establishment and the consequent
disturbances of family comfort in the oper
ation of "house cleaning." Even with all
this care and all this trouble ceruin In
sects atllV exist. Bedbugs penetrating Into
the remotest and moat Insignificant cracks
in the wall are, in houses In which they
once become thoroughly established, most
difficult to exterminate by any ot the old
fashioned method. Cockroaches swarming
In a house may be enormously reduced In
number by the use of some of the best of
the Insect powders, but their egg cases are
not affected by these remedies. Flea la
damp summers will persist In spite of the
us ot Insect powder and even in spite of
frequent sprayings with benxlne. Clothes
moth and the buffalo carpet beetle have
long been terror to good housekeeper all
over the country, although method ot aum
mer packing of garment and plastering
floor crack and laying down of tarred
roofing paper under the carpet are well
known to most people. In fact, cold stor
age of valuable furs and rugs hav com
to be looked upon as practically ths only
perfect way of avoiding damage from these
insects, and the abolition of the carpet
habit haa been recommended by the writer
and by othera aa the beat way of prevent
ing undue multiplication ot the ao-called
buffalo moth.
Carpet at Mease to Health.
It may be said a an aside that carpets
are nuisance from aay point of view, and
that the reason why the ao-called buffalo
moth, although an Insect of European or
igin, cut small figure in Europe, la the fact
that over there, and especially In south
Europe, carpet are rare things: A car
peted floor with only an annual house
cleaning 1 a menace to health aside from
the fact that it afford .opportunities for
uninterrupted development of these inaecU.
Little red anta have been fought by meth
od whjch required much trouble and a
great expenditure of time, and principally
by the trapping method, but although a
thousand or more may frequently be killed
In this way every day the supply from a
large colony seems practically unlimited,
and frequently the work is given up in de
spair. .The search for the colony or for the
particular crack in the wall from which
most of the anta come 1 laborious and re
quire keen sight and an entomological In
stinct, and therefore, especially In the south,
people put up with the nuisance rather
than spend their night and days In the
fight.
During the laat year the effort at fumi
gation hav been confined to the use ot sul
phur fume. House have been vacated and
ulphur ha been burned at length with the
result that many bedbugs and other Insects
hav been killed, but frequently there have
been survivors to perpetuate new genera
tions, "and the deposit from the fume ha
damaged choice article of furniture, and the
discoloration ot silver and other little arti
cles has discouraged futur work of this
kind. More recently bisulpbld of carbon
ha been used wlh better effect and with
out pany ot the drawback of the burning
of sulphur, but the vapor of bisulphide ot
carbon I highly Inflammable and explosive
and the great danger of a conflagration is
always present.
Vse Hydroeyaale Gas.
. The demand for something better In many
ways and for something simpler has been
great. Nearly twenty years ago It was dis
covered that hydrocyanic acid gas is an ef
fective remedy against certain lnsecU, and
that It may be made cheaply and easily. At
first it was used In California to fumigate
orange trees affected with seals lnsscts.
Large canvas tenU painted with linseed oil
to make them airtight were made in differ
ent waya to be placed or pulled over trees,
and then the gas waa liberated beneath
these tents by placing a certain quantity of
cyanide of potaaalum into .metal vessels
conUlnlng sulphuric acid. This process was
rather expensive as a method of orchard
treatment, out has come Into rather com
mon use In certain portions of the country.
Later it waa found to be one ot the best. If
not the best, methods of treating mall
trees and nursery stock before shipment
from Isrge nurseries tn order to be sure
that they would not carry Injurious Insect
life from the nurseries to portions of the
country where such Injurious lnsecU did
not previously exist. Still later the use of
this gas became more or lees common
among ths greenhouse men. It was found
that by on operation a tightly closed green,
house could be rid of plant lice and certain
other Insect much more perfectly and eas
ily than by spraying with the old tobacco
washes or kerosene emulsion snd with
slight danger to the plants when ths pro
portions were well understood. The relative
susceptibility of different plants to ths ac
tion of ths gas has been studied and the
method will sooner or later become one ot
common practice.
Vsa of Gas la Hoaaes.
Ths latest development la the use of ths
gas .and ths latest development la ths war

Union Building, Philadelphia, Pa.
alum per cuble foot ot space was psrfsotly
satisfactory against cockroaches and other
lnsecU.
Upon the evening of June 20, 1901, such
an experiment was tried and the gas al
lowed to remain In the building over night.
The following morning the gas had not en
tirely escaped, and the house flies, centi
pedes, spiders, cockroaches and mlcs were
dead, with the exception of a few roaches
that had secreted themselves between ths
sash and frame of a loosely fitting window
and had thus secured enough pure air to
prevent them from being killed. Later In
the summer Mr. A. H. Klrkland, a well
known entomologist ot Boston, conducted
independently and without knowing Mr.
Beattie's resulu two striking experlmenU
ot a similar nature. One was In a closed
house the inhabitants ot which were absent
at the seashore, and which was overrun
with clothes moths, and the other waa In a
similar house which had become Infected
with fleas, from the fact that fleas' eggs had
been left there in ths sleeping places of
cerUlp pet domestic animals. Mr. Klrkland
used one ounce of pure cyanide of potassium
to every 100 cubic feet of space (a lesser
amount Is used In greenhouses on account
of the possible damage to plant foliage).
He used ordinary porcelain wash baaln
and, beginning at the top of the house,
dropped bis cyanide in each bssin, running
down to the lower floors as rapidly as pos
sible and closing the outer door behind him.
Everything in the way of living lnsecU was
killed In both these experiments and It la
Interesting to note that In one of tbem two
English sparrows which had slighted 'upon
the rldxe pole were overcome by the slight
exudation of ths fumes from the shingled
roof.
The houses were opened up the next
morning and thoroughly aired.
It seems to me, therefore, that in tne uae
ot hydrocyanic acid gas ths whols problem
of household Insects Is practically solved.
When these lnsecU are few In numbers
light them by the old-tasblonsd methods,
but it they have Increased to the point of
desperation vacate the home one night and
try the cyanide method. The greatest care
should be observed In the s of tne gss,
for the reason that it U destructive to all
warm-blooded animals, Including human
beings ss well ss Insects. Ths bouse may
be quickly aired, however, and tb odor of
the gas is readily detected. ine noueo
should not be occupied until ths odor ha
been entirely dissipated. The odor la that
of peach. kernels.

commenced to hurl ssnd from a pile In the
yard at ths ram so strongly, as she dodged
hither and thither, that the animal, blinded
by the dirt, waa finally compelled to re

In view ot the purchaso of ths Danish

an incident of twenty-odd years sgo that

rifle. Sitting on the veranda of ths gov
ernment house, he said that he could cut
with a bullet the signal halyard on th
flagstaff at th fort and lower th Danish
standard to the ground. As ths lines wsr
almost Invisible in ths dlstancs ths gover
nor was willing to bet that he could not
do it. Ths shot rang out and ths flag fell.
Presently a horseman dashed up, Inform
ing the governor that soms one had fired
on the flag. Thece was great excitement.
The governor, none too popular. It seems,
with ths mllltsry, rulued his political future
by admitting that the affair waa a Joke la
