I may state that not a sin- be split up into' questions of , of Privileges of promotion et ia cipline. The question of pay is the great- est of them all. The pay of the navy, both for officers and men, has | remained stationary since Nelson's day. Of course. the sailor is lodged, fad and olothed hy the Government, and the question of pay would not be_go important if sailors were sin- gle men and had no home but their ships. But the navy is essentially a 'married' service. Practically every long service sailor gets mar- ried, and of the men in the service more than 50 per cent, have wives to look after. Marriage is encouraged in the navy. The Admiralty recognizes that it is a good thing for men who remain from a dozen to twenty years in the service to contract the steadying tie of matrimony, but it does nothing to help them to main- tain their shore homes. They get no extra pay and no separation allowance like the soldier. Thus it comes about that the recent rapid rise in the cost of living has been very keenly felt by the bluejacket. As a rule the married sailor makes an excellent husband. In the matter of messing and of quarters the sailor is better off than he used to be; his food is more var- ied and it is better cooked, while the new ships give him more light and air and deck space.

During a visit to Mexico two years ago, Dr. Felix d'Herelle, a young scientist of the Pasteur In- stitute, noticed that locusts were subject to an epidemic disease, and concluded that the best means of destroying the insects would be to spread the disease among them. After careful research he discov- ered the bacillus of the disease and, as the result of a paper re before the Academy of Sciences in Paris, was invited to make a prac- tical fest of his discovery by the Government of- the Argentine, 'where every year the plague of lo- custs does incalculable damage to the crops. His first experiments were imme- diately successful, a swarm of lo- custs kept between barriers for ob- servation purposes being extermi- nated in six days after they had eaten grass sprinkled with M. d'Herelle's preparation. Within less. than a week dead locusts were also found: thirty miles from the in- fected fields, while forty days after- wards locusts bear: the epidemic were hundred and fifty f area. The locust plague in the Argen- tine threatened to be worse than ever this year, and in the spring the doctor set out, accompanied by males carrying the disease-spread- ing' liquid, and eprinkled every swarm of locusts that could be found in the Province of Rioja, where 'acre after acre of the in- sects had just hatched. After three weeks only one living swarm was left in the entire district. The doctor declares that his pre- paration in no way affects the cat- tle grazing in fields sprinkled with iqu the liquid.
