Bugs Cost the Nation Hundreds of Millions Each Year
An entomologist estimates annual bug damage at about 250 million dollars. Grasshoppers cause 90 million, Hessian flies 50 million, chinch bugs 10 million, potato bugs 8 million, with tobacco worms moths squash bugs and others composing the remainder. Studies by entomologists have progressed slowly toward reducing this destruction.

Americans propose to turn sharks of the San Juan del Norte bay in Nicaragua into factory products. Shark fins yield a jelly for soup, shark liver oil is valuable for watches and guns, shagreen skin can be used in leather-like goods, and even bones and teeth have market use for canes and collectors. This venture could disrupt the tropical fish world.

Mason and Dixon Line Survey Described and Recounted
The Mason and Dixon line survey is being renewed under the United States coast and geodetic survey with a commission from Maryland and Pennsylvania. Mason and Dixon marked the boundary from 1763 to 1768 amid disputes between Calvert and Penn, and the project aims to restore old monuments and add markers to clarify the line separating Maryland from Pennsylvania and Delaware. The article notes the line's historical role in the slave state divide and recounts the 1760 agreement, Indian interruptions, and later restoration efforts.
