  [Destruction

  The 
  author 
  suggests 
  a 
  new 
  method 
  of 
  destroying 
  wasp-nests, 
  which 
  

   he 
  has 
  appHed 
  with 
  success. 
  He 
  used 
  a 
  soldering 
  lamp, 
  which 
  gave 
  a 
  

   flame 
  of 
  about 
  5J 
  inches 
  long. 
  By 
  directing 
  the 
  flame 
  into 
  the 
  nest, 
  

   it 
  was 
  possible 
  to 
  remove 
  the 
  latter, 
  and 
  also 
  to 
  destroy 
  it, 
  by 
  burning 
  

   it 
  with 
  the 
  same 
  lamp, 
  without 
  being 
  subjected 
  to 
  stings 
  from 
  the 
  

   insects 
  ; 
  the 
  strong 
  glare 
  keeping 
  the 
  wasps 
  back 
  and 
  not 
  allowing 
  

   them 
  either 
  to 
  protect 
  themselves 
  or 
  to 
  escape. 
  The 
  author 
  has 
  

   destroyed 
  in 
  this 
  way 
  111 
  nests 
  of 
  wasps 
  without 
  being 
  stung. 
  

  

  It 
  appears 
  from 
  the 
  author's 
  remarks 
  that 
  wasps 
  are 
  a 
  most 
  serious 
  

   pest 
  in 
  that 
  country 
  and, 
  according 
  to 
  statements 
  of 
  persons 
  knowing 
  

   South 
  European 
  Russia 
  and 
  the 
  Crimea, 
  there 
  is 
  no 
  place 
  where 
  wasps 
  

   are 
  so 
  abundant 
  as 
  in 
  Turkestan,

  In 
  reply 
  to 
  a 
  correspondent 
  who 
  sent 
  in 
  an 
  insect 
  pest 
  which 
  has 
  

   done 
  great 
  damage 
  to 
  poplars 
  and 
  other 
  trees 
  in 
  Kokanda, 
  the 
  author 
  

   identified 
  the 
  species 
  as 
  Pacliydissus 
  sartus, 
  Sols., 
  and 
  gives 
  information 
  

   as 
  to 
  its 
  habits. 
  As 
  a 
  remedy 
  he 
  suggests 
  cutting 
  out 
  and 
  burning 
  

   the 
  damaged 
  trees 
  ; 
  the 
  remaining 
  trees 
  must 
  be 
  kept 
  in 
  a 
  healthy 
  

   state, 
  and 
  any 
  parts 
  of 
  them 
  damaged 
  from 
  other 
  causes 
  must 
  be 
  

   smeared 
  over 
  with 
  carbolineum, 
  tar 
  or 
  pitch, 
  adding 
  creosote 
  or 
  carbolic 
  

   acid.

  The 
  author 
  reports 
  damage 
  done 
  to 
  cotton 
  by 
  larvae 
  of 
  a 
  species 
  of 
  

   Elateridae. 
  He 
  first 
  noticed 
  this 
  on 
  the 
  21st 
  April 
  in 
  a 
  cotton 
  

   plantation 
  in 
  the 
  district 
  of 
  Samarkand 
  ; 
  the 
  larvae 
  gnawed 
  through 
  

   the 
  collar 
  of 
  the 
  root 
  in 
  plants 
  which 
  had 
  already 
  sprouted, 
  also 
  injur- 
  

   ing 
  the 
  cotyledons 
  of 
  seedlings. 
  The 
  plants 
  suffered 
  most 
  in 
  their 
  first 
  

   two 
  stages, 
  while 
  later 
  they 
  were 
  better 
  able 
  to 
  ^\^thstand 
  the 
  attacks 
  

   of 
  the 
  pests. 
  On 
  the 
  date 
  given, 
  the 
  larvae 
  were 
  found 
  at 
  a 
  depth 
  of 
  

   2J-3 
  inches 
  below 
  the 
  surface 
  of 
  the 
  soil 
  ; 
  on 
  the 
  11th 
  May 
  they 
  

   stopped 
  injuring 
  the 
  plants 
  and 
  were 
  found 
  at 
  a 
  depth 
  of 
  4-4J 
  inches 
  ; 
  

   searches 
  made 
  in 
  the 
  first 
  half 
  of 
  June 
  resulted 
  in 
  no 
  larvae 
  being 
  

   found, 
  they 
  having 
  evidently 
  passed 
  to 
  a 
  considerable 
  depth 
  into 
  

   the 
  earth.
