DOESN'T MIND NOISE.
New York Mayor Says He Could Work
and Think In Boiler Shop.
"I could work and think In a boiler
shop. That is one of the qualitlcn
tlons which should be prescribed for
a mayor of the city of New York,"
wrote Mayor Gaynor to a man who
asked that the newsboys bo stopped
shouting "Wuxtryi" The protest
against tho cries of the newsboys was
made by Cornelius S. Loder, whose
business is to show business men how
to arrange their business affairs. The
mayor suggested to him in a letter that
ho take up tho work of throttling the
newsies. .
"Will you undertake tho Job?" asked
the mayor. "I won't delegate you
Just yet nwhllo, however, for I am not
certain that I want to stop the little
fellows from hollering as you say.
They do not disturb me. A whole lot
of people seem to have been hollering
nt mo of late, but they do not disturb
me, and much less docs tho hollering
of tho little newsboys disturb me."
Then ho made tho admission he could
work and think In a boiler shop.

Tighten up on him; he may give up
more."

teeth, but $50 and a meerschaum pipe.

man who had been party to a scheme
to take $30,000 away from him last

rested and taken to headquarters.
Ballew said that a man came to him
with a scheme to raise $30,000 in tho
simplest manner possible If Ballew
would let his benefactors have the use
of his name. He agreed to this, but
at the crucial moment they said that
they must have cash. He got In his
automobile, went to a bank and gave
them the money to bet on a horse.
Ballew said his horse lost by a mile,
but oven then ho did not hnve any
suspicion of what was going on nnd

An Author's Odd Aversion.
Tho "stole" meal had attractions for
Edward Fitzgerald, who, among his
other peculiarities, hated to see peo
ple enjoying their food. On ono oc
casion, after a man had finished a
glass of wine in his company and gone
out of tho room, Fitzgerald remarked,
with disgust: "Did you notice how ho
took up his glass? I am sure ho llkos
it Bah!" Fitzgerald himself, accord
ing to his biographer, Mr. A. C. Ben
son, "lived practically on bread and
fruit, mostly apples and pears, oven n
turnip, with sometimes chceso or but
ter and milk puddings. But ho was
not a bigoted vegetarian. To avoid
an appearance of singularity he would
eat meat at other houses and provided
It In plenty for his guests. But the
only social meal ho cared to Join in

BUST.
Sculptor Is Said to Have Died of a
Dro.on Heart.
The aftermath of the death of' Mrs.
Elizabeth St. John Matthews, the

from the rejection of a bust of Presi
dent Tnft she had modeled for the

Incident to the rejection of the bust.
The committee which raised the
fund did not consist entirely of mem
bers of the Yale club. It had merely
decided that because Mr. Tnft was
Yale's most distinguished living grad
uate tho Yale club would bo a fitting
place for tho bust.
The contract for the bust was made
with Mrs. Matthews last fall, and she
had the work well under way when It
was signed. In December tho bust,
in plaster form, was rejected, and
from that time on the sculptor's health
Is said to have been seriously affected.
Mr. Matthews states that the bust
met with the approval of George Gray
Barnard, the sculptor, who wroto n
special letter of commendation, tho
first of the kind he is said to have
penned. Mr. Matthews declares that
personnl feeling entered Into the ac
tion taken by the committee.

works nro statues of Lincoln, Garfield
and McKlnley In the palace of Prince
Henry of Prussia, a bas-relief of Mc
Kinley in the public library at Bur
lington, Vt, nnd a heroic statue of
Rev. John nealy Haywood, which
stands beside the pulpit In the Church

TOXIN KILLS GYPSY
MOTHS, SAVES TREES.
Scientist Prepares Enough to Protect
Massachusetts Forest Lands.
By inoculating gypsy moth caterpil
lars with n contagious disease which
travels throughout tho Insect commu
nity like a plague among human be
ings, William Uelff, an assistant pro
fessor In the Busscy Institute at Har
vard, expocts to rid the country of
tho pests which nttack trees.
Already enough of tho culturo or tox
In of the caterpillar disease, which is
known ns "flacherle," "moth cholera"
or "wilt disease," has been prepared
by Professor Relff to inoculate the
pests Infesting the 10,000 acres of Mas
sachusetts forest lands, nnd this cul
ture Is being sent broadcast over the
state.
Tho germ of flachcrio is distributed
among tho gypsy moths while they are
still in the caterpillar stage on account
of tho fact that at this period of their
development they are more apt to suc
cumb to it. The culture Is placed In
Binnll bags or "hammocks," which avei
hung on tho branches of the Infected
trees. The culture spreads among the
caterpillars as soon ns they begin to
feed on tho leaves, with the result
that a very large percentage of them,!
according to Mr. Itolff's experiments,
are exterminated.
"Tho inoculation of the gypsy moth
caterpillar as we do it," says Mr.
Relff, "is similar to the inoculation ol
a human being with n disease. The
difference Is that we are doing tho best
we can to make the disease spread,
while the physician does all he can to
prevent contagion.
"As far as we know there Is nothing
dnngerous to a human being In the cul
ture of tho disease.
"It Is supposed that this germ which
affects the gypsy moth Is so minute
that It cannot be fouud by any optical
instrument yet Invented. It is. suggest
ed that the germ Is so small as to pass
entirely through any filter which ha
been used for the purpose of obtaining
it.
"A close study has been made ol
some of the Insect diseases, especially
of those known to occur In tho silk
worm nnd In the nun moth, which lat
ter insect destroys the forests of cen
tral Europe.
"During the year 1910 the artificial
ly developed flacherle was planted
after the dying off of the breeding
material had begun among the cater
pillars of the gypsy moth In the many
deeply wooded cities In Massachusetts.
"From the data obtained from thnt
work It was found that tho total num
ber of apparently living eggs has been
decreased by Introduction of the arti
ficial flacherle to about 14 per cent"
