Some Singular Facts About Deadly Enemy to Trees.
Through an £ntomolcp#2nt*s Carelessness the Teat Was Introduced Into Massachusetts Where It Now Create*
Great Havoc,
Not so very long ago a scientific wiseacre of Massachusetts, who had never had the pleasure of meeting' with a gypsy moth, since the frivolous creature had not journeyed into the old Bay state at the time, according' to tlio New York Sun. sent word to a friend in the far-awuy land, the home of the insect, saying: "Pleaso send mo a gypsy moth right away 1 want to look
:T.
ft
friend, who was an obedient chap, went Into his garden, and with no trouble caught a gypsy moth, one of a largo band of moths who were encamped there and had eaten about everything in the neighborhood except the house and toughest part of the fence, and he put him in a ven tilated box and mailed him to the entomologist in Massachusetts.
The gypsy moth arrived safely at his destination, and the scientific sharp went to work with his jaclcnife at his cage to disentomb him. lie was so lively that he easily stood on his head and soraped his hind legs together in the air, so that the wise man might know, perhaps, that he was glad to know him. He was just as lively after he had been carved out of his mummy case, but the entomologist was lightfingered fl.lso, and he expertly caught his visitor by his tailfeathers and then went out on his veranda to scrutinize him in a strong light through his mag nlfying glass. But the gypsy moth was smarter than the scientific man, evidently very much smarter, and he hadn't traveled over land and water several thousand miles to be stuck on a pin and to make an entomological Roman holiday. Jle bided his time and when the learned man had flipped him over on his back, holding him still bv the tail, but with a slightly 6lackened grip, and was about to chuck his microscope down upon him, prestol lie uddeuly gathered himself into a knot, spasmodically yanked himself away from the glass, slid down to the veranda floor nnd was off into tho garden in a jiffy. The scientific man gaped at him incredulously for an instant and then set off along the garden walk and across the green sward, treading down sweet peas and clover blossoms in a perfectly futile endeavor to recapture him. That gypsy moth got entirely away and never came back, and keen and sore was the disappointment of tho entomologist thereat.
Sore also has been the disappointment of the old Bay state therefor ever since the luckless escape of tho gypsy moth took place a number of 3'ears ago. But though he is gone ho is by no means forgotten. The g3Tpsy moth of the scientific man followed the Biblical injunction: "Multiply and re plenisli the earth," and the point of this history is in the fact that that little incident by which the entomologist let go the tail-feathers of his gypsy moth has cost the state of Massachusetts over two hundred thousand dollars In the last four years. Soon after the gypsy moth got away the Bay state had to appoint a state commission whose business it was to go and find him, together with his progeny, and tho commission found him easily and In a large majoritj-. Each year now they keep on looking for and finding him in a steadily augmenting horde. No trouble at all. He is always on deck. Last j'ear's work of the commission, according to a Springfield paper, "included the examination of four million trees and the destruction of forty-six thousand one hundred egg clusters all belonging to the gypsy moth, and over one million caterpillars. Now,' comments the same journal, "an appropriation of one hundred and sixty thousand dollars with which to find and fight the gj'psy moth is asked, and it is a choice between constant light to the extermination and the loss on the other hand of something like one million dollars yearly by the ravages of the pest." ..

Proposed Ship Channel In France. The proposition for a great slilpway through France, between the English channel and the Mediterranean, came before the chamber of deputies again recently. The plans submitted attracted much attention and were reported as "favorably considered." Napoleon III. was vastly interested in this magnificent project and favorable to it, but tho national exchequer was never In a condition to warrant his beginning the word. The project turns up every once in awhile, and it is predicted that it will surely be accomplished and at no distant date.

THE GYPSY MOTH. A QUEER CONTROVERSY.
Two Washington Cities Dispute Over a Mountain's Name.
Tacoma Says It Is Tacoma and Seattle Says It Is Rainier, and feacli City Stubbornly Adheres to Its
Own Opinion.
In the controversy over the name of this mountain all tho rivalry between Tacoma and Seattle finds expression, says a writer in Harper's Weekly. I know of one Tacoma man who refused to be introduced to a person whom he had been most anxious to meet because he happened to overhear the latter refer to Mount Rainier. In Seattle many subscribers were once obtained to an eastern magazine In which an article on their city was to appear. It was published and was as laudatory of them as the most captious Seattleite could desire, but not a copy was sold in the city, nor would a subscriber allow copy to enter his house, because by an unpardonable oversight the writer had called the disputed mountain
Tacoma." In the Seattle stationery shops they keep slips of paper with Mount Rainier" neatly printed on them for pasting over tho "Mount Tacoma" that sometimes appears on maps they are obliged to sell. They also carefully erase the words "Mount Tacoma" from all souvenir photographs bearing it that come into their possession, and substitute "Mount Rainier" before selling them. No doubt these same things are done in Tacoma, only in reversed order. The Tacoma man will explain with convincing earnestness that Ta-ko-mali was the aboriginal name of the mountain for centuries before tho white settlement of the country that it is not only euphonious but beautifully poetical in its meaning—"the breast that nourishes." 'Surely," he will say, "a most appropriate name for a mountain whose glacial streams perpetual^' nourish the plains at its feet. And who was this Rainier, anyhow? An Englishman who not only never saw this country, but was inimical to it and its institutions."
When you repeat this to your friend in Seattle he will assume a fine expression of mingled scorn and pity for 3rour credulity and exclaim: "That's all bosh! Tacoma doesn't mean anything of tho kind. The word siraply means mountain and nothing more. As for the name Rainier, it was given by Vancouver, tho first white man who ever saw the mountain and who certainty earned the right to name what he discovered. It appears on his charts of this region, and as all his nomenclature has been adopted bj1 the United States coast surve3-, there is no reason why an exception should be made in this case. This sllty row about nothing is all poppj'coclc, any how. I, for one, am tired of it and wish those fellows over there would drop it. Rainier it Is, and Rainier it will be for all time, even if we have to go tip and chisel tho name on the mountain side in letters a thousand feet long." So for him who would maintain friendly relations with both camps it is well to remember that
Tacoma" Is the countersign in Tacoma and "Rainier" in Seattle, while on neutral ground the subject of con tention should bo spoken of as "the mountain," "the beautiful mountain,' "the disputed mountain" or "the Fuzihama of America." It has been suggested that the question might be settled by compromise and popular vote. b3' submitting the combinations "Taconier" and "Raicoma" to the people of the two cities and calling for an expression of preference from every man woman and schoolchild in them. Outsiders are apparently quite willing, for the sake of peace, to call the mountain b3' an3' name approved by the cities. By this means a controversy to which no other end seems possible might happily be concluded.
WHY THE PRIEST TREMBLED.
Assistant Chanted to 111m Dnrlng Service That llo nad Drawn a Prize. An interesting incident has just occurred in Lima, Peru, awakening equally human sympathy and fanatical fur3'. A Dominican father celebrating mass in La Merced, having reached the most imposing part of the cere mony, when the Gloria was resounding through the lofty arches of the oldest temple on tho continent, was seized with violent trembling and would have fallen but for the service of an assistant.
Investigation shows that while the service was proceeding an altar boy had conve3'ed a piece of news to the assistant and he, profiting b3' the noise of the Gloria, had chanted, so as to be heard by the father, "You have drawn the twent3' thousand dollars," being the quarterly grand prize of the national lotter3'.
The poor friar had been in great povert3r and suddenly saw himself provided with the means of supporting the mother of his children, a joy too great for his simple human soul. Tho assistant has been sentenced to "se elusion" for three months and the friar to one month. The woman has already been made comfortable by the friends of the priest, who have taken charge of his fortune to save it from the rapacity of his superiors.

INEXPENSIVE PLEASURES.
They Are tho But In I.lfe, Say tho Philosophor#. The comparatively cheap pleasures seem to be the beiit in life generally, says Harper's Weekly. There is so ver3' little that the very rich can buy for themselves that need stir envy in people who ure just comfortably off. Warmth is such a delightful thing in winter, but you and I can get as much as wo want of it, and a millionaire can have no more. And there aro so inany elieap, ordinary things to eat that are just as good or better than tho expensive things. An epicure who lives in the western part of this state was saying tho other day that, having a particular dinner in view, he sent to a judicious man in New York for tho best fish that the market offered They sent him afresh cod. and he admitted that 110 fish could be better and moralized (those are his remarks above) on tho comparative cheapness of tho fleshly gratifications that wero really best, such as potatoes nnd chickens and fresh air, and tea and water (warm and cold) and soap and sleep.
When one considers how good a big five-cent sandwich tastes when he is realty hungry, and how little difference there is between good wine and good water when it luis once passed one's gullet, and how much of that difference is in favor of tlmwutor.it realty lends a dangerous li 1 rm to economy and simple living, and makes one wonder that thrift is not more catching and that the delights of avarice should be so generally monopolized by the aged.
One of the cases where a'ehcap article is often at least as good as a dear one is in the matter of sons-in-law. How often it happens that the plain, cheap son-in law who exacts 110 bonus and even in some cases contributes to his wife's support, turns out in the end to be really more valuable and satisfactory than the bankrupt loafer prince who costs a million or two at the start and all that he can la3' his hands 011 afterward!
A GERM-DESTROYING ELEMENT.
Henltliy Itiood Sxid to 1 Stir. Heath to llMctcria. About ten 3'ears ago a medical scientist advanced the theorj- that, in its normal condition, blood contained an element that instantly killed many forms of bacteria. In this healthv state blood has been injected into the veins of diseased persons for this purpose, und has begun the work of destruction. The results had not been satisfactory, as the amount of blood required was so great as to make continued experiments unwise. Recent investigations have confirmed the original idea, and a series of experiments of late conducted at the universit3' of Michigan reveals most interesting possibilities. The destroying principle has been separated from the blood, and with it germs of cholera and anthrax have been killed. This element, to which the name of neuclln has been given, is colorless and transparent. The vital essence of it seems tenacious of life, as high degrees of heat, even to the boiling point, do not ,?eem to diminish its activity. If this discovery does all that it promises, it marks an incalculable advance in medical science. Injected into the veins of persons suffering from many forms of irerra-poisoning, it immediately begins its beneficent task of riddling the system of the enemy. Thus a new field in medicine is opened, the ultimate results of which even the most comprehensive mind can scarcely estimat e.
