CARPET Beetles.

The carpet beetle is one of the worst,
moSt-destructive and difficult to over
come of all household insects 1t was
introduced into the United States from
Europe, and is sometimes miscalled the
Buffalo moth" probably from the fact,
one author claims, it was first noticed
as destructive in this country Mt Buffalo,
\. y. 1t has not yet, that we are aware
of, made It's appearance in Iowa, but is
likely at any time TO become an unwel-
come and troublesome visitant.
1t is claimed (and we are thankful to
say we have not yet come into practical
personal contact with this beetle, and
that our knowledge of it is gained from
others) that it has been known to cut
a carpet into strips from end to end IA
clean and straight as if it had been cut
by a sharp knife or scissors" 1t also
destroys furs, wooden clothes, leather,
dried plants and preserved animals. 1t
does all the damage in the larva or
worm state. The larva is described as
being nearly one-quarter of an inch
long, with six legs. and running nimbly
If turned upon its back it will spring
upward to regain its feet just like the
big black swapping beetle with which
so many Of the boys are acquainted. ut
is of brownish color, appearing as if
branded in two shades, the darkest be-
ing the central portion of each ring"
The beetle is about one-twelfth of an
inch long. black marked with red and
white, and has been found to live upon
the pollen of the spiraea blossoms. The
female beetles enter the house, deposit
their eggs along the edges of the car
pets or other wooden goods, although
possessing a partality for carpets. The
larvae or worms hatch, and mature,
forming the pupe within their larval
skins from which the beetles emerge
and leave the house, the females only
re-entering.
In some parts of the country it has
become so troublesome that carpets
have had to be dispensed with and
mattings used in their place. Most of
the common remedies are Intellectual,
but il is said that cotton, saturated with
benzine or kerosene, stuffed into the
jennings of the floor and crevices be-
meath the base boards during the win
ter months, will destroy them. Benzine
is the more preferable to use, because it
will not soil the carpets; but it is so
extremely infammable that its use is
dangerous. Boiling hot water is eff
fectual. 1t seems to us if the Larvae
were working in carpet, they could
be steamed to death by wetting cloth,
laying it on the carpet and then ironing
with hot iron, in the same manner as
plaitings are pressed--Atice B. Wdlton,

Michigan's Score at Creedmoor.

The team of Michigan State troops
who went to Creedmoor under the aus
pices Of the Michigan Military Rifle AS
ISOLATION lost $4,000 prize and dozen
gold medals by only two points. The
last shot in the Hilton trophy match,
fired by G. ID. Root, was the losing one.
L. f. Webster, of Bay City, in the same
match, made perfect score at 800 yards
and a total of 100 out of possible 105,
the best record ever made with mill
tary rifle in match. The Michigan
team were pitted against Pennsylvania,
the Department of the Atlantic U. S.
A., Maine and New York. The Depart
ment of the Atlantic won the Hilton
trophy prize last year, and New York
the year before The other teams have
competed in similar matches before,
while this was Michigan's first year In
practice the day before the Hilton tro-
ply match the Michigan team made a
total of 99S points, or twelve more than
the winners of the prize. The scores of
each team were: Pennsylvania, $50 !:
Michigan, 9S4; Department of the At
lantic, 500; New York, 968; Maine. 1856.
In the all-comers team match, any ri
file, picked-up or scrub team Of four,
consisting of S. H. Avery, John McKen-
zie, a. McNaughton and W. b. Mershon,
made 1l9 points out of possible 140,
winning fifth prize against five teams
with sporting rifles and three teams
from Great Britain.-DetrOH Post.

Under an enactment of the last
Legislature no fish or game can be
shipped from the State. The law was
passed to prevent the indiscriminate
slaughter of game which succeeded the
great forest fires The widespread con-
fiagration drove all the forest game into
that neck of the State toward Mackinac
Straits. and it was an everyday occur
renee for men TO kill forty or fifty deer
anu ship them to hotels and restaurants
in every direction. If the wounded
deer failed to fall within sight or short
range of the hunter, it was not pursued,
IA others were nearer, and as a con-
sequence the woods were full of
carcasses.

Let our children starve for bread rath-

their apartments, at home and in the
school-room are well ventilated, and
that they are not too long confined on
hard benches in crowded rooms. Let
them learn to play as well as to study
Let us educate their bodies as well as
their minds.

CURIOUS AND SCIENTIFIC.


The quantity of silver held in solu-
ton by the waters Of the ocean is
roughly estimated at 100000 tons.
IT is said that belts made from min
eral-tanned leather are cheaper and a
good deal stronger than belts made
from leather tanned in the usual way.
A NORTH CAROLINA man has invented
folding barrel or hogshead for use in
transporting dry material. The heads
may be taken out, the slaves rolled to-
gether, and the whole thing made bar
rel-shape again with few quick mo-
tons.
AFTER cruise of a few months in
the South Pacific French man-of-war
was found to have specimens of living
coral growing upon her hull. This in
teresting discovery has thrown some
light on the question of the rapidity of
growth of coral. The evidence tends
to show that the vessel on passing a
reef of the Gambler islands, against
which it rubbed, had picked up a young
fungus, which adhered 90 the sheathing
of the ship, and grew to the size and
weight it had when obseryt d, a diameter
of nine inches and weight of two and
half pounds, in nine weeks.
OF all the industrial arts of the early
DAYS of Alexandria one only still sur
vives-that of fine embroidery. In the
time of the Caliphs this had reached an
admirable pitch of perfection. In those
days the European Princes procured
their more costly dress-stuffs from the
East and even the coronation mantle
of the Roman German Emperors, pre-
served in the treasury of Vienna, w.s
worked by Arab hands; indeed, the
TiraZ, an arabesque, representing III its
artistic curves the name and titles of
the illustrious wearer, is conspicuously
embroidered upon it. Venice aid Genoa
obtained their silk stutfs from Alex
andria, and all the gold thread required
in Europe in the days of chivalry, when
the nobility loved gorgeously-embroid-
cred garments, was brought from the
East, where it was made, as is now
known, of finelydi7ided threads of the
intestines of animals killed for food.
THERE are four vast areas still to be
opened up or traversed by civilized
man, and which, among them, consti-
tute about one-seventeenth of the whole
area of the globe. OF these there is the
Antarctic region, which in extent is
ABOUT seventy-five times that of Great
Britain; the second lies about the North
pole; the third is in Central Africa, and
the fourth is Western Australia. The
south polar region referred to is almost
conterminous with the Antarctic circle
The vast African area reaches on the
west very closely to the coast, and it is
only near the equator that it has more
than specifically been driven inland.
In Australia, the great undeveloped re-
gion is that which lies west of the track
explored from north to south by Stu
art, and which now forms the line of
telegraphic communication across that
continent.

Mount Etna.

Mount Etna is one of the celebrated
historic fre-mountains of the globe.
The first recorded eruption of Etna,
mentioned by Diodorous Siculus, is
supposed to have occurred about the
time of the Trojan war. Three terri
BILE eruptions are recorded by Thucv-
dides as having occurred in the fifth
century b. G. Altogether there have
been about seven outbursts, the most
important of which were those of 1869,
1869, 1755, 1887, 1892, 1862 and 1868.
The mountain is situated on the eastern
coast of Sicily near the bay and city of
Catania. The apex of the great conical
mass is 1885 feet above the sea level.
and the crater, which is just below the
apex, is i'll the midst of a plain nine
miles in circumference. Around the
base of the mountain is fertile and de-
lghtful country. Towns and villages
are clustered in this region, and in the
rich soil of the decomposed lava and
tufa are fourishing plantations of
olives, vines, grains, fruits, and aromat-
ic herbs. Though these have from
time to time been destroyed by the
eruptions, delightful climate and pro-
ductive soil, quick to restore the rava-
ges of the fire-giant which burns above,
have sufficed to overcome the fears of 4
people familiar with danger. The low
er TANKS of the mountain are covered
with magnificent groves of chestnut,
cork, olive, oak, beech, poplar and
pines, many of them of immense size.
The region of desolation begins about
six thousand feet above the sea, rough
and black with the beds of cinders and
lava, or white with snow and ice, as one
climbs to the upper SUBMITS. The
great crater is in the snowy tract,
rising in a cone eleven hundred feet
high, and is about half a mile wide,
with a depth of eight hundred feet.
Sulphurous smoke and rumbling
noises arise from it continually. There
are about eight secondary craters on
the side of the mountain.
The eruption of 1869 destroyed four
teen villages, about a thousand lives
and utterly devastated the country. A
fissure twelve miles long opened in the
mountain flank and poured forth a sea
of fire, and afterward five other parallel
assures opened which emitted smoke
and laundering detonations. The wall
of Catania, which had been raised sixty
feet high on the mountain side, was
overtopped, and q cascade of liquid fire
poured into the city. The lava current
was so hot in Catania eight years after
ward as to burn the hand approached
TO its cracks. 1t flowed into the sea for
width of six hundred yards, and les
sened the depth of the water for more
than mile from shore about forty
feet This eruption was accompanied
by a tidal wave and earthquakes.
Another eruption in 1855 was little less
terrible in its results World of
