A CATERPILLAR EXTERMINATOR.
The Wonderful Invention Of German That
Gets Rid Altogether Of These Agri-
cultural Pests.
New York Tribune.l

A German inventor has patented q cater
pillar exterminator. The apparatus Is OF sim
Die construction, consisting principally or
series Of brushes which sweep the caterplllarS
from the leaves into a number OF wooden
spouts or tubes, from which they fall into
common receptacle. The whole is fastened to
a cross beam, and is fitted up SO as to admit
Of being drawn by horse or OK. The appa-
ratuses hitherto made have each seven OF the
wooden tubes, and these are drawn along and
clear Of insects seven rows of turnips, beets or
other roots at time. Near Halle lately an
exterminator has been at work, and has given
an average result OF from six to eight bushels
OF caterpiIlars day. Professors Marcker and
Whist and Or. Delius, Of the Agricultural Col.
lege of Halle, speak highly OF the value OF
the performances Of the machine. ON one
farm ten machines were employed and cleared
over fifty hectares day. On the estate OF
Merbitz, near Halle, in single day, there
were collected, by help OF the machines,
twenty eight sacks Of the insects, each sack
containing on an average fifty kilogrammes,
Or about one hundred weight. The result OF
one DAVIS work on single farm, was, there
fore, nearly ton and a half OF most voraclous
caterpillars. As to the approximate number
of insects taken on this occasion, there could
not, at moderate calculation, have been
fewer than million, and If they had been al
lowed to live and only half OF them had laid
100 eggs each, they would have produced
within six weeks time progeny OF no fewer
than so ,OOO, 600 caterpilIars. The next genera
tion-and there may be three generations in a
single summer-WOuld have numbered $780,.

owned by one Mr.. Baker and leased by his

Mr.. Ward. Within the last two weeks Mr.,
Wards family have been startled by peculiar
and unaccountable noises about the house.
and on Wednesday last, the 18th inst, a
sharp report, like the crack of pistol shot,
rang through the house, the building seemed
to vibrate, and then settled down in its
center fully foot. OF course tho inmates
were much exercised over the strange &C.
currence, but with time their fears were
quieted. Finally, on Saturday last, at 1890
O'Clock A. NJ, the crisis came. A lady. with
her infant child, was sitting in
the kitchen, which adjoined the main
building. Her attention was called to the
front room, and she had barely stepped from
one room to the other, when q crash like the
falling OF timbers and the explosion of a ca n
non, together with perceptlble sinking Of
the tloor under her feet, transfxed her With
fear and amazement On examination. RI
was discovered that the house had for sup-
porters, at each of its four corners, q post.
These had rotted, or been washed away. and
the house on stills severed it's connection
with the kitchen, leaving space of about
two feet between them. The precarious
condition of the building renders it not inn
probable that its dissolution will follow at
an early day, If not at once attended to.

PREHISTORIC HOUNDS,

What Some Exploring Parties Have Found
In Ramsey County,
Some parties from this city have recently
been examining the prehistoric mounds in
Ramsey county. Those selected for exami-
nation were group of of ten mounds, of all
sizes, extending in line nearly east and
west The largest ono is sixteen feet high
and thirty or tbirty-fve feet in diameter at
the base; the smallest is about five feet high
with ten foot base.
The first one selected for examination was
twelve feet high and thirty feet in dimeter
at the base. At depth of seven feet bone
implement was found, which had evidently
been used as an awl. It is about four inches
long and rudely sharpened at one end. From
this level and near the centre, stake had
been driven down. 1t was round, about
three inches thick, two feet long and sharp
ened at the lower end, but so decomposed
that it broke in pieces in removal. After re-.
moving two feet more of dirt, they came to
five pieces of wood, parallel, about two feet
apart and extending on line nearly north
and south. They were about eight feet
long and eight inches broad. The
center piece had several large boulders upon
it. Immediately under the wood, portions
of which was we'll preserved, some human
bones were found. Only two pieces-a sing
10 joint Of the vertebrae and portion of the
arm bone or humerus-were we'll preserved
The balance had decayed. Immediately be-
meath these bed had been formed by pack
ing the earth very hard and then burning it,
as between this bed and the bones was q
layer OF ashes from one to two inches thick
and some dirt thrown loosely on top of
them. Or perhaps the dirt may have settled
in from the sides. On this bed and in the
dirt for two or three feet above, good
many mussel shells (Unios) we're found.
Beneath it nothing of interest was found.
One remarkable feature connected with this
mound is the total absence of stone imple-
ments or pottery. This alone shows that it
is one Of the most ancient mounds in tho
Mississippi valley.
The oldest mounds on the bluffs-whereyer
tound-do not contain an implement of any
kind. Those of later period contain i'm
PIGMENTS of bone, but none Of stone, nor
any pottery. The Oldest ones in the bot
toms contain rude stone implements and
rude pottery, while in those of still later
date are found polished stone implements,
pottery OF a finer finish, cloth, beads and
other trinkets.
This class of bluff mounds--if we may so
term them--are undoubtedly the Oldest of
burial mounds, and were probably buile
