JOHN BooTH-Dear sir: | have today
only time to thank you for valuable in

success which has thus far crowned your
efforts in behalf Of the educational inter-
ests Of this State. l think it not too
much to say that to your judicious and
energetic espousal of educational inter-
ests in Humboldt and Ormsby counties
Is largely due the present prosperous con-
dition OF the schools of Unionville and
Carson. l do not doubt that the credit
given at that public meeting in Phoebe is
we'll deserved. I trust that there, as
here, the well-begun measure NAV be
faithfully prosecuted.

A peculiar attraction of Monaco are
the Passion-plays which are given every
year on Good Friday by natives of the
principally in the presence of a very
large concourse of people. This usage
dates back to the most remote period of
the middle ages, and in the last century
the Passion-plays of Monaco We'd in
celebrity with those of the Obsram-
mergau but recently, although thew
still are very Characteristic, they have
lost much of their former Importance
and the well-known fact that the pro-
prietor of the gaming-house defravs
the expenses, and advertises them ex-
tensively, in order to allure more Wis
ltors to Monaco, is not calculated to add
to their attractiveness.
The people of Monaco combine. with
generally very prepossessing appear
ance, many peculiarities of character.
which may be directly traced to the
grinding despotism under which they
and their forefathers have groaned SO
long. They are, as a general thing,
treacherous, deceitful, and rapacious,
incorrigible beggars, and serviIe in the
extreme toward those who pay them. A
curious illustration of their character
may be found in their instruction. of
three or four years ago. The sovereign
people of Monaco rose in arms against
their ruler because the latter refused to
grant the following singular demands
That a roUlette-table should be opened
in the town itself that the minimum of
the stakes should be reduced from three
to two francs and that only natives
should be entrusted with the honorable
task of acting as croupiers at the gam
ing-tables. For several hours the prince
was sorely pressed by his rebellious
subjects; but, when he finally ordered
the two small cannon of the palace to
be fired at them, they dispersed, the
ringleaders were severely logged and
sentenced to long terms of imprison-
ment in the dungeons of the castle, and
quiet reigned again in Monaco.

Mr.. BEssEMER's original plan for
preventing sea sickness by building
vessels with saloons which are to be
hung in such a manner as to keen
them level and steady, with the aid of
hydraulic apparatus, even when the
vessel itself is tossing wildly in a storm,
is to be put to an actual test. Mr..
Reed, formerly naval architect to the
British Admiralty, is now setting the
plans of a couple of vessels, intended
for the English Channel, which are to
be provided with saloons ninety feet
long by twenty feet broad and thirty
feet high, constructed in accordance
with Mr.. Bessemer's plan. Above the
saloon will be a promenade deck seven
ty feet in length of equal stability, and
Mr.. Bessemer says that in the toughest
weather the saloon and deck Will not
be subjected to a greater amount of
motion than is felt in an ordinary rail
way carriage.

How g GREENBACK " PAPER IS MADE.
All the paper of the money issued by
the Government is manufactured on a
sixty-two inch Fourdrinier machine, at
the Glen Mills, near Westchester, Pa.
Short pieces of red silk are mixed with
the pulp in the engine, and the finished
stuff is conducted to the wire without
passing through any screens, which
might retain the silk threads. By an
arrangement above the wire cloth. a
shower of short pieces of fine blue silk
thread is dropped in streaks upon the
paper while it is being formed. The
upper side, upon which the blue silk is
dropped, is the one used for the face Of
the notes, and, from the manner in
which the threads are applied, must
show them more distinctly than the
lower OF the reverse side, although they
are embodied deeply enough to remain
fixed. The mill is guarded by officials
night and day to prevent the abstrac-
ton of any of the paper.

base of the wings there is much
smaller pure white dot. In general
color and in the position of the larger

semblance to that of the true Army

States.
Mr.. Afaeck, who certainly had album

fact, assured me that this moth rests

According to the best authority. there
are three different broods of worms du-
ring the year, the first appearing in
june or July, and the last, which does
the most damage, appearing in August
or September, or even later. Mr.. Lv-
man, IN the little work already referred
to, says ''That nature has made no
provision by which either the fv. the
worm, the chrysalis or the eggs, can
survive the winter or exist for anv
length of time where the cotton plant
IS not perennial But this is surely
an error, which Mr.. Lyman would never
er have made, had he possessed a better
knowledge of insect-Iife and as Mr..
Glover found that the chrysaIis was
killed by the slightest, frost, the insect
evidently winters over in the moth
state, as do many others belonging to
the same Tribe. Mr.. W. B. Seabrook
gives strong evidence that. this is the
case, in Memoir ON the Cotton
Plant, " read in 1913, before the State
Agricultural Society of South Carolina,
wherein he says: "That the Cotton
Moth survives the winter is nearly Ger
tain. An examination of the neighbor-
boring woods, especially after a mild
winter, has often been successfully
made for that purpose" And DR..
Phares states positively that the moth
hybernates in piles of cotton seed under
shelter, under bark and in crevices of
trees IN dense forests and other seclud-
ed places, and that it may often be seen
on peasants days in winter.

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING. Death from
lightning is thought to be quite pain
less. Owing to the velocity with which
the electric current moves, it is be-
ieved that a person struck by lightning
has no premonitiOn of the blow which
he receives. The nervous system re-
quires a certain interval of time to be-
come conscious of pain. The time of
an electric discharge is but a small
fraction of this interval, hence, as a
sentient apparatus, the nervous system
is destroyed before consciousness can
set in.

from the Patent Office Reports, and the
writings of Townsend Glover of the De
partment of Agriculture, it has done
more or less damage to the crop almost
annually, in some part or other of the
cOtton-growing district. As with the
real grass-feeding army-worm of the
Middle States, it swarms in particular
years to such an extent as to utterly
ruin the crop, while in other years it is
scarcely noticed. This fact has led
many to infer that there is a stated pc
riodicity its returns in such immense
numbers; but the natural history of the
worm confutes such an idea, while the
records give no foundation for the in
ference. The sudden increase or de-
crease Of this, as of other species of
