The question how to maintain disci-
plineamongmass Of human beings is Of
very wide application, and is therefore
the subject Of 4 great variety Of expert
ments. In the wide field Of moral con-
troll, 1t includes principal function of
government, namely, the repression of
crime-a department that has lately re-
ceived much attention. To collect the
lights furnished in each of the spheres
where moral control has to be exercised.
is 70 contribute to the illumination of
each. There has, undoubtedly, in FORM
er times been very great mismanage-
ment In almost every one of the regions
OF repressive authority-in the state, in
the family, and in the school, in all
which an excess of human misery Is
habitually engendered by badness in the
manner of exercising control. II is
perhaps in the family that the mischief
is most widely spread and most baneful.
BY degrees we have become aware of
various errors that ran through the
former methods Of discipline, in the
several institutions of the state, as well
as in the family. We have discovered
tAo evil Of working by fear alone, and
still more by fear of coarse, painful, and
degrading infections. We have discov-
cred that occasions of offense can be
avoided by variety Of salutary arrange
ments, such as to check the very dispo-
sition to unruly conduct. We consider
that great discovery has been made in
regard to punishments, by the enuncia-
ton OF the maxim that certainty is more
important than severity; towhich should
be added. proportion to the offense.
We also consider that by a suitable
training. or education, the dispositions
that lead to disorder and crime can be
checked in the bud; and that, until
there has been room for such training
10 operate, the mind should not be ex-
posed to temptation. We have become
accustomed to lay more stress in culti-
vating the amicable relations of human
beings, all which tend to abridge the
sphere Of injurious conduct on the part
,f individuals. PROF. Balm, in Popular
Science Monthly for November.

Early last summer the chronological
Commission, consisting Of Professors
G. v. Riley, "A. X. Grote, and j. HI.
Comstock, began study of the cotton
worm which is likely to result in the
easy extinction Of the pest. The cotton
plant is peculiar in having a gland on
from one to three of the larger ribs of
the more mature leaves, and a still
larger gland at the base of each of the
three lobes Of the involucre. As soon
as Professor Riley learned that these
glands secreted sweetened LIQUID he
Inferred that the plant would be found
TO furnish nourishment to the moth as
well as to the larvn, and drew attention
to this belief in the Atlanta Constitution.
Subsequently, in company with Profess
sors Comstock and willet, he was able
to prove his anticipation correct bv
studying the normal habits of the moth
with dark lantern at night. The moth
is attracted to the cotton plant by the
sweets which the leaf affords; and as
these sweets are first produced when the
plant begins to flower and fruit, have
here q possible explanation Of the well
known fact that the worm is never no
ticed on the young plants, but first ap-
pears about the time of fruiting. 1t was
also discovered that the cotton moth
feeds on the honey secreted from glands
occurring on the COW pea, extensively
grown through the South as a forage
plant.
BY taking advantage Of the moths
love OF sweets Professor Riley believes
that il will be no hard matter ~ nre-
vent the ravages Of the worm. lie Is
now having experiments made to test
the effects Of different poisons, mixed

may be applied 70 the trunks Of the
dead pine trees that occur in 50 many
cotton plantations, or to trunks of any
other trees, of they may be used in pans
upon which perforated platforms Of
