!IG BUG EXHIBIT
AT WORLD'S FAIR
9
(By W. E. Brindlcy.
Portland, March 20. The old adage,
'Send a thief to catch a thief," finds
expression in changed form in connec
tion with modern methods of insect
ftxermination. "Sond a bug to catch
bug, is the new version. The
story of tho .way it works out forms
ono of tho fascinating romances of
everyday science, and the "Bug vs.
Jug" exhibit will bo ono of tho most
interesting of tho many interesting dis-
ilays at tho Lewis and Clark exposi
tion.
Thero is an old saw that runs:
"Big fleas havo littlo fleas upon their
backs to bito 'em,
I" And littlo fleas havo lesser fleas and
so ad infinitum."
Probably tho man who wroto tho
saw never conceived the posibility that
tho truth which it told might somo
Jay bo of tho greatest possiblo im
portance to tho agricultural mdustrj'.
In fact, the writer did not express
quite tho whole truth. The bug that
bites tho bug may be either smaller or
Urger than tho bug ho bites. Tho im
portant thing is that tho biting bug
kills tho bug ho bites, and that tho
ing off potato bugs in the hot summer
sun. And ho remembers, too, that after
a long day of such labor, tho next day
saw the potato vino still covered with
an army of tho pests. When the labors
of the bug specialists aro ended there
will bo no more potato slugs, for an
other bug, perhaps introduced from
Australia or Africa, will havo devoured
them all ns a bass devours tho defense
less minnow.
Tlio process is not, however, as sim
ple ns it appears. For which the sci
entist may discover a good bug that
eats a bad bug, there may bo another
bad bug that wiU- devour his good bug
as rapidly as the latter is introduced.
When this is the case, and it almost
(invariably is, -a good bug must be dis
covered that will cat the bad bug that
cats the good biig that was introduced
to eat tho bad bug. And there mny
bo several good bugs that devour ono
kind of good bug. The complexity of
all this is such as might well confuse
and discourage tlio most patient and
untiring laborer in the field of science.
To tnko a suppositious case, let A bo tho
bug tho orchardist is fighting, and B
ono of several parasites that attack
Ibiting bug bo a good bug, and the bug A. Then there is C fighting E, D fight
iho bites a bad bug. Tho skill of tho -ing C and E fighting D. While A, C

extermination of tho bad and tho re
tention of tho good. When this has
been successfully accomplished, it will
result "in a saving to farmers of mil
lions of dollars. Hence tho importance
of the researches of tho scientist.
Men havo been fighting insect pests
almost as long as thoy havo been rais
ing crops, but until quite recently the
results havo been but indifferent, and
JBh many instances, entirely ineffective.
Many a man who now rides in his an
tomobilo and spends the summer at tho
sea coast remembers with dreadful dis
tinctness tho long hours ho spent pick-
There nro insects that nro an nid to the

istence and a dangerous pest nt an

enemies, who, in turn, aro subject to
attacks from ton or a dozen more. When
all this is considered, ono can appreci
ate how marvelous are tho accomplish
ments of modern scientific methods.
The United Stntes government alone
employs over CO experts for the work

work is.bnt a trifling insurance for in
dustries that produce many bihions of
necessary produce every year.
While tho damage that theinsect
pests do to growing crops can hnrdly
ho estimated, the insects that form
the criminal class in the world nf
bug are tiny nnd insignificant crea
tures. In order that they may bo
studied, models which magnify the size
severnl hundred times nro necessary.
Those models, showing tho good bugs
and the bad hues, will form one of
the most interesting features of tho
many that will make the western
world's fair worth a trans-continentnl
trip. The models will prove ns attrac
tive to thinking peoplo as the animals
in the zoo aro to tho small boy.
The San Jose scnle, which has haunti
ed the dream of many a California
orange grower, will bo shown in 11
different stages, malo and female,
some of tho models being a foot high.
Tho San Jose sealo looks liko a limpet
and, is a vile monster of horrid shape.
The codling moth is a littlo less repul
sivo in appearance, but more destruc
tive, for it is responsible for dnmago
to American orchnrds every year to tho
amount of $11,000,000. Then thero will
be tho cottonboll weevil which onuses
millions of dollars worth of damngo
to the southern cotton crop, shown in
all its stages from tho egg to the winged
insect; tho orango rust mito and tho
grape seed weevil, and many others.
Tho exhibit will not bo confined to
the bad bugs, but many good bugs will
be shown as well. Ono of theso is tho
Asiatic lady bird, which was brought
from China to feed on tho orango grow
er's enemy, the Snn Joso scale. There
nere only two lady birds that survived
tho journey to Washington, but theso
were successfully propagated, and soon
hundreds of thousands wero nt work
clearing tho orango orchnrds of tho
scourge. The story of the Australian
lady bird is almost idonticnl with that
of the lady bird from China. Tho Aus
tralian lady bird saved California or
chards from tho devastation threatened
by the fluted scnlo. Thero will be ninny
other good bugs to see, and the array
encourages ono to beliovo thaoventuHl
ly they will exterminato tho bad bugs
.that aro so expensivo to tho farmer anil
orchardist.
Such is tho romnnco woven by pro
longed and patlont laboratory search.
Thero will bo many othor marvellous
romances of ovoryday scienco at tho
Lewis and Clark exposition, for tho
exposition mnnngomont is restricting
the displays largoly to Hvo exhibits
that show processes rather than pro
ducts; but the "Bug vs. Bug" display
will provo of oxtraordinnry interest
to tho farmer or fruit grower who sees
lousiness in it, the business or profes
sional man who takes a passing interest
in science, nnd to tho child who likes
to look nt tho modols because some
of them look liko dogs, nnd somo like
cats, and somo liko lizards nnd snnkos.

Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
It used to be considered that oulv
unnary and bladder troubles were to be
traced to the kidneys,
but now modern
science proves that
nearly all diseases
have their beginuiug
in the disorder of
these most important
organs.
The kidneys filter
and purify the blood
that is their work.
Therefore, v hen your kidneysare weak
or out of order, you can understand how
quickly your entire body is affected nnd
how every organ seems to fail to do its
duty.
If you are sick or " feel badly," begin
taking the great kidney remedy, Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, because as soon
as your kidneys arc well they will help
all the other organs to health. A trial
will convince anyone.
If you are sick you can make 6 mis
tnke by first doctoring your kidneys.
The mild nnd the extraordinary cfTcct of
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great
kidney remedy, is soon realized, It
stands the highest for its wonderful cures
of the most distressing cases, and is sold
on its merits by all
druggists in fifty-cent
nnd onc-dollnr size
bottles. You mny

when writing to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Hing

but remember the name, Swamp-Root,
