MEssRS EDIToRs:-I was perfectly sur
prised at the action Of a majority of the
City Council in voting the dirt away
from Christiana avenue the most i'm,
poItant street to the commercial inter
ests of WiIm ngton in bringing our city
to the notice of tine commercial world.
The opening Of the avenue to the river
would bring us in contact with the
great steamships that traverse the Del
aware, would increase the value of eco
perty and give US river front landing,
ana yet this must be all voted down by
what appears to all human intelligence,
to be perfect legislative ignorance. 10
grade tins avenue, (the only feasible
one and the least sxpensive) to the Del.
aware river, lay curb and pavement
and build wharf, would increase the
trade OF our city about So, 900 in one
and not more than three years, and also
increase the value of taxation not less
than $50, ,0OO,while now you get scarce
y nothing. All this has been voted
down. Learn wisdom gentlemen, take
care Of the peoples interests, not your
own. A CITIZEN.

THEORIES ABOUT THE COTTON
WORM M .y5-r-r -......-. ...

Professor Riley who had had charge of
the cotton worm investigation while eto-
mologists of the Department of Agricul-
ture at Washington, and who is pursuing
the same inquiry on behalf of the United
States Entomologist Commission, made
known his views on the Information and
migration of the parent insect of the
cetton worm before the National Acade-
my of Sciences. H. a.a ala.
Regarding the migrating powers of the
moth, the Professor believes there is abun-
dant and satisfactory evidence. In sum-
ming up present knowledge bearing on
the subject he thought it safe to conclude
that the insect does not hibernate in the
chrysalis state. This evidence would also
seem to initiate against the possibility of
Information even in the moth state, yet
there are so many well-attested cases of
the moth being seen flying during mild
weather that the question cannot by any
means be considered as settled. sE a
Coming to the subject of where the
parent moth hibernates, Professor Riley
stated the opinion thatcthe moth rarely
survives the winter in the more southern
portions Of the cotton belt, as on the sea
islands of Georgia and in parts of Florida
and Texas, and that it is from this more
southern portion that it spreads each ear
| This belief, which the Professor frankly
acknowledges lacks full confirmation, does
not preclude the occasional coming of the
moth from foreign or more tropical coun-
tries, though the fact is established that
it could not have come from the Bahamas
since 1866. ~ as I asa.
Professor Riley naturally attaches much
importance to all evidence in support OF
the theory of the insects ability to survive
