The Moth.

This little insect, so destructive in
our households, is known to natural
lists by the nameof tinea, and belongs
to the family of the lcpidoptera, or
scaly insects, which it is the small
est, tile most beautiful and the most
destructive. 1t is second cousin to
the canker worm, the apple worm,
and the turpentine moth, but among
its ari5tocratic and honorable rela-
tions is the silk worm. The Gimme.
diate family relatives of the common
moth, are the bee moth, the carpet
moth, the hair moth, the grain moth
and the pack moth. AS soon as the
egg laid by the mother moth is
Matched, straightway the tiny worm
proceeding from it begins to feed mp
on the fabric to which it is fastened
and spins itself cocoon, in which
it moves freely and unseen, and from
which it energies in due time a but
terhy. In May and June these in
sects deposit their eggs. Before this
time everything they can harm are
or should be placed beyond their
reach. Before putting away fur or
wooden goods they should be thor
oughly beaten to dislodge any eggs
that may have been deposited on
them, and exposed to the sun and
air for hours. 1t is said that brush
ing over their retreats with turpen-
tine will dislodge them, that, camph-
or, black pepper, tobacco, shavings
of Russia leather will disgust them,
that camphor wood and cedar trunks
are free from their visitations, and
that corrosive sublimate washings,
sulphur fumigations and the action
of heat and steam will destroy them
Prevention is the best cure. If furs
and woolens are carefully sealed up
in paper cases, or put away in chests
and trunks which the moth.hy can
not penetrate, they are safe. Fab
RIGS already attacked by them should
be beaten and summed repeatedly, and
the ravages will be checked, These
little insects love darkness, and hide
their evil doings from the light of
day. To keep them from plush fur
niture, twice a year, on q brigh! sun
ny day, take the furniture out of
doors, remove the buttons from the
chairs if they can be removed, and
give the cushions good switching
with long, pliable switches, till the
dust is removed. Then brush thor
oughly, While the cushions are be-
ing summed, give the frames u coat
of varnish. Let the furniture re-
main in the sun nearly all day.

1t is said the American flag Is not 10 be
seen as often as other flags floating from
mast heads in freight ports. This IS true;
1t ought to be otherwise; it must be other
wise, But without meeting It on the sea
you know and feel that the starry flag i
at home, and that from home il makes its
influence and power felt around the world:
you see and feel that it shelters and pro-
tects more liberty, more individual pros
perity, more of human right and more
bright promises for the future than can be
found in any other land. Kingship, mo.
narchy, nobility, aristocracy may be good
things-gOod for the few within the
charmed eircle-but give me land of
equal rights, land where there is no law
making few, and where no man Is ever
called on to obey any law which he has
not his full share in enacting and chang.
ing. Give me land in which it is the
right and the duty of every man to take
part in all the elections and all the pro.
ceedings by which the Government is con.
stituted and directed. This was the grand
idea of our fathers. On this cornerstone
they founded our great republic. One
glimpse at the system they repudiated and
discarded has given me fresh veneration
for their wisdom and their courage. 1t
has also increased the sense Of obligation
we owe to cherish and protect, and trans
init unimpaired to our children, the great
heritage left to US.
But, my friends, must put curb on
my words. Travellers are apt to be talka-
tive, and the kindness Of friends has kept
me going from Sandy Hook to this thres-
hold. Were every recollection Of my trip
blotted out, save only the welcome given
me in the harbor of the City Of New York,
from step to step homeward, now here,
that memory would remain one of the best
of my life.

The Temple of Diana

Ephesus, one Of the twelve Ionian cities
OF Asia Minor, was famous in antiquity as
containing one of the seven wonders of
the world, the great temple of Artemis,
or Diana. From very early times, Ephe-
sus was a sacred city; the fable ascribed its
foundation to the Amazons, and the ANA
zonian legend is connected with Artemis.
The first Ionian colonists in Lydia found
the worship Of the goddess already estab-
lished here In a primitive temple, which
was soon superseded by a magnificent
structure, This Greeian temple was seven
times restored at the expense Of all the
Greek communities in Asia Minor. In
the year 356 d. O., it was burned to the
ground, but again rebuilt in a style Of far
greater splendor than before, the work ex-
tending over two hundred years The
later temple was 425 feet long and 220 feet
wide. "The foundations were sunk deep
in marshy ground, as q precaution against
earthquake" says Pliny. There were two
rows Of columns at the sides, but the front
and back porticOes consisted of eight rows
of columns, placed four feet deep. Outside,
at the entrance to the temple, stood a basin
OF porphyry, 10 feet in diameter, for the
worshipers to lave aud purify themselves in.
The internal decoration was of the most
sumptuous kind. The cedar roof was
supported on pillars of jasper, the doors
were of cypress. The altar was the work
OF Praxiteles, and it was surrounded by
many statues, one Of them Of gold. The
image of the goddess herself was roughly
hewed out of wood, black with age, and
greasy with the oil with which it was Gus
tomary to anoint it. When the Apostle
Paul visited Ephesus in the middle Of the
first century, the worship of Diana still
fourished there, and the temple retained
all its original splendor. Pilgrims to the
venerated abode of the goddess used to
buy little models of the temple in silver or
precious stones, as mementoes Of their first
visit, and as amulets to insure to them the
protection Of the Ephesian Diana. The
Goths sacked the city aud burned the
temple about two hundred years later, and
in the reign of Theodosius l., toward the
end of the fourth century, the furious zeal
Of the iconoclasts, or image breakers, com.
pleted the destruction. The ancient city
almost entirely disappeared before the
modern era, the very site Of the temple
being lost.

A Strange Discovery.

A strange discovery is reported from the
Lake of Geneva. A tourist having lost
his trunk two divers were employed to
search for it. While they were below
water they found what they supposed to be
a village, since covered by the lake. Their
statements led to an investigation of the
spot by the municipal authorities, who
took measures to ascertain the truth Of the
extraordinary account of the divers. On
covering the placid surface with oil, these
latter were able to distinguish the plan OF
town, streets, squares, and detached hou
ses marking the bed of the lake. The
ruddy hue which characterized them led
the observers to suppose that the buildings
had been covered with the famous vermil.
lion cement which was used by the Celts.
Cimbri, and the early Gauls. There are
about 200 houses arranged over an oblong
surface, near the middle of which is space
more open, supposed to have been used
for public assemblages. At the eastern
extremity lies large square tower, which
was taken for rock. A superficial inyes-
tigation seems to indicate that the con.
struction Of these buildings dates from
some centuries before our era. The coun.
Gil Of Vaud has decided to have the site
Of the dwellings iuclosed by a jetty stretch.
Ing from the land, and to drain of the
water, so as to bring to light what promises
TO be one of the most interesting arch@olo-
gical discoveries Of our day.-Londoa

Sidsrial splendors.

-Four planets are now visible in the
evening, in addition TO the fixed stars.
Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Mars. Venus
is conspicuous in the west in the early
twilight. Jupiter is nearly due south,
and is prominent in the western quarter
till after midnight. Mars and Saturn are
visible in the east, and do not set till after
sunrise. These two planets are now about
four degrees asunder, Mars having the
greatest south declination. They will grow
in brightness, as well as rise nearly four
minutes earlier each night during the
remainder of this month. September 5,
Mars will be in opposition to the sun,
and Saturn will be in opposition on the
9th. The position of Mars during
the first ten days of September will
be unusually interesting as he will be
very near the earth. Mars is an object of
great interest with astronomers Just now.
The reason for this interest is found in the
following facts In 1919 the planet ex
hibited such extraordinary brightness,
that ordinary observers supposed that some
new star had made its appearance; and
there was no little popular apprehension
on the subject, at time when celestial
phenomena were regarded as portents of
coming events. In l79S, after an inter
val Of sesenty-nine years, the same appear
ance was presented. And now again,
after similar period, the like interesting
spectacle is not merely anticipated, but is
confidently announced. The knowledge
which astronomers possess of the orbits
and courses of the planetary bodies re-
duces the observation Of these aspects to a
science. In the month of September
next, Mars, which is even now very near
and brilliant will be seen under such IA
vOrable conditions as will not happen again
to any astronomer now living. There is,
therefore, great attention already drawn
to the appearance of the planet
