TIE ARMY WoRM.-The New York
Hcrald reports the discovery of the army
worm at lslip, Long Island on May 10Th
These worms make their appearance in
vast numbers and move onward in Il well
formed and solid line, apparently under
strict discipline. devouring all green things
in their way. In this attack the worm
army destroyed a forty acre field of rye in
sixty hours. Damage TO the extent of
three or four thousand dollars has been
done during the first weeks work.
These worms are of a light or dark grey
color, with two lateral stripes on each side.
The upper stripe has II yellowish central
line, while the lower Il reddish one. The
head is of light amber color on which is
an inverted "" When grown. these
worms are nearly two inches in length and
nearly a quarter of an inch through the
body. Notwithstanding the fact that it
has sixteen legs this worm is rather slow
in its motion; and upon being touched il
rolls itself into II ball.
AS the only relief from the attack Of
these worms is in their immediate destruc
ton, no time should be lost, after their an
pearance, in encountering them. On
meadow lands II heavy roller may be
effectively used upon them. A deep fur
row may be plowed in their front, in which
they may be destroyed by fire or othel
means. A correspondent of the New Yorl
Hcrdid suggests that after getting th,
worms into such n trap they may be killed
by kerosene or any of the cheap grades o
petroleum. No doubt petroleum sprinkleC
upon them would help to kindle a fire
which would result in their destruction
In blowing this furrow the straight sid
should be next the crop, and on the oppo
Site side from the approaching army; 10
these worms have the utmost persistence
in going forward and never turn aside O

CHICKEN LERA.-Pasteur, the great
French chemist, has made public, through
the French academy of sciences, the result
of his study of cholera in fowls. lie de-
clares that chicken cholera is caused by
microscopic parasitic" le microbe -
and so carefully has he studied it that he
knows what it feeds upon and can produce
and kill it at will. 1t finds its food IN the
body of the fowl, and when the microbes
have eaten all of this, they die of hunger.
and the broods are afterwards proof
against the disease, but, unfortunately for
them and their owners too, before they
reach this happy condition they generally
die. The experiment by which he proved
the truth of his theory is the most interest
ing part of the discovery. ,
Of eighty healthy fowls, which had
never had the disease, twenty died lmme'
diately after being inocuated with the
cholera poison in a virulent form. Inc
poison was then very much reduced IN
strength, and second score of the fowls
were inoculated with it. They all suffered
from the disease in "A slight degree, but
they all recovered, and, when afterward
inoculated with poison of full strength
only elEnL Oh lHe twenty ulcu' - ~
of twenty was then inoculated twice with
the weaker poison,and only five died when
they were afterwaad tested with the
stronger mixture" The final score oil
fowls were inocuated four times at regular
intervals, and thereafter it was impossible
to give any one of them such dose oil
microbes as to cause its death. The con-
ditions of the experiment are said to have
been such as to leave no room for doubt
as to the results obtained. Consequently
it appears that chicken cholera must be
added to the number of diseases preventa-
BILE by incubation.
Pasteur thinks there is Il relation be-
tween chicken cholera and the disease
called sleeping sickness" common among
the negroes of Senegal, which is said to b(
caused by eating fowls afflicted by Ger
tain throat disease. Some sanguine mer
see in the discovery of this relation be
tween man and the brute an analogy t.
that made by Jenner, eighty years ago, o.
the relation between smallpox in thu
human subject and cow-poX in the brute
while others see afar off in it the POSSIBLE
| ity that cholera, and even yellow fever
may be placed beside smallpox in the list
of preventable diseases by the use Of The
virus from some of the lower orders o
creation. -RuraL NeW Yorker.

We have heard it said that it was sad
commentary on human nature that people
were reconciled to their own troubles by
the contemplation of greater ones fallen
on others. We hardly think this is true ),
except that it brings TO the perception. so

fact of other and greater ones from which
they are exempt, So we who have the
