THE American Association for the
Advancement of Science, ut ius late
meeting ut Detroit, considered,
among other topics, one in relation
to the insect pest Of this country,
and the best and most efficient
means Of getting rid of them. In
three years the Western States have
lost more than fifty millions Of dol
lars, according to Professor Riley.
AS one method of approaching the
subject, DR.. Lc Cont suggested the
appointment Of government com
mission of the ablcst scientific men,
who shoald make special study of
the habits of voracious and migra-
tory insects, and also put upon
record their ideas rs TO the best
means Of exterminating them be-
fore they grow into II national
pest. Thus far no means have
been discovered to decrease
the number or stay the pro-
gress of the locusts or the potato
bug. They have increased in num-
bers, and also extended the terrific
rial area OF their destructive work.
4 few weeks ago locusts were con-
fined to limited section of the
West and Northwest, and their
march was only marked by partial
ravagos upon crops. A few coun-
ties in State would be visited by
these insatiate gluttons, and in some
instances their work could be seen
in only three or four townships in
the counties smitten. But now
whole quarters of States are visited,
and the march of the column
pushed from west of the Mississippi
TO a point east of that river. Ev-
cry green thing is destroyed by
these historical pests. Fields, gar
dens and orchards are left barren
and desolate. The locusts find
peace and plenty and leave desola-
ton and misery. Apart from
tho national view of this matter,
its individual aspect is of such
q character as to warrant the adop-
ton of all the means that science
can suggest TO put u stop TO the
multiplication of locusts.
The ravages of the potatoc bug
also call for investigation. This in
sect was first seen in Colorado, and
hence its name, the Colorado beetle.
But year after year come notices of
its appearance in locations remote
from its original home. 1t crossed
the Father of Waters and struck the
potato crop in Illinois, marched into
Indian, invaded Ohio and at the
present time can be seen in Penn
sylvania, New Jersey and Delaware,
living upon the potatoe vines. A
few, the pioneers Of the advancing
hordes of Goths and Vandals, have
likewise been seen in New York.
Unless stopped they will visit the
land Of Butter, and even prey upon
the vines at the base Of Bunker
Mill monument. Such breadth OF
destruction has rarely been occupied
By an insect Of any kind, and when
they are joined with the locusts the
subject is one that fally justifes the
action Of the Association for the
AdvaDcemeBt Of Science. Fifty
millions Of dolIars Is heavy loss in
three years, aud that loss will in
crease unless steps are taken TO de
crease the insect pests Of the na-
zion.

The STORY OF THE RUIN OF A RAILWAY
CASHIER Trenton, n. H., August H.
Charles =. Curtis, cashier for the Pullman
PalaceCar Company at Cincinnati. has been
arrested here, charged with embezZ ing
S1,400, funds belonging to the company.
Curtis was formerly in the employ OF tue
Pennsylvania Railroad Company as chief
telegraph operator here, where his parents
reside, and last November secured, through
the fundamentally of Colonel Robert Stew
art and G.. S. Gaunt, master of transporta-
tiop, the position in Cincinnati. All receipts
west Of philadelphia were RENTED to him.
and he daily handled large sums. Released
from home restraint, Curtis, who is not over
twenty-five years of age, and had previously
borne an irreproachable character, became
rather lax in his habits, and though recelv.
ing a salary Of 800 per year, which WIS to
have been raised 10 $2.400 the second year,
lived beyond his income. He finally
became a frequenter of the gaming-:ablc and
over it lost his own and his employers mo-
ney. The auditor Of the company reached
Cincinnati on the LIST Of the month to exam
inc accounts, but Curtis had gone to Onto
nagon, Mich, and thence to Worcester, Mass.
Here be repented of his folly, and wrote
long letter to the auditor 2. b. Frink, sta
ting that he was en- route to Cincinnati, and
would stop at Trenton and Baltimore to see
