Il long. Each caterpillar discharges it's skin about four times before it gets it's growth. It then weaves it's cocoon of silk and the hair of its own body, and there undergoes it's change to the chrysalis state and becomes 8 moth.
 1.-The species is well known to entomolo- gists, :" continued Mir. Edwards 'sIt is in. digenous to this country ,and has bseu known ever since entomology was studied here It was described by Abbott and Smith in 1792- among thelepidopterous insects of Georgia. You may imagine how rapid must be their increase when one insect lays 234 eggs. For tunately, the rain kills many, and other causes intervene to keep down the supply. was glad to see that the voracious insects spared the tulip trees.
 ''The destruction of our city trees is pitt full, and some decisive action is needed to prevent it's further progress. When very hungry these caterpillars will eat pear and ap- pie trees and the possibility that they may yet be numerous enough to go into that sort of business should be su facient to stir up some official action to prevent it.7

The Caterpillars.

 What an EntomoIogfst Says About The
 Pests.
 Harry Edwards, of Wallack's theatre, has been an entonologist from boyhood and has 6 fine collection of about 260,O0O "bugs, D valued at $2O, 900. Sun reporter has inter- viewed him about the caterpillars that are eating the foliage of the trees, and he spoke as follows
 ''The obnoxious species is known as the o9ygiG LeucostigRaG. have found them in the City Hall Park, on the Battery, at Union Square, Bowling Green, Madison Square, Res ervoir Square, Tompkins Square, and Washington Square, and am informed they are also in Central Park. have seen them on many trees throughout the city. Much damage has been done in Twenty-seventh, b, Twenty eighth and Twenty-ninth streets, near Madison and Fifth avenues The trees most injured are the maple, the horse chest nut and the white poplar. In rare cases the aflanthus, willow and elm trees are attacked. These, however, will soon be destroyed if the caterpillars increase so as to be in want of food"
 'Do not the birds eat these caterpillars ?'' asked the reporter.
 "No. know of no bird that will eat them. The sparrows did eat the measuring worms that were so plentiful here few years ago. and that nuisance has now about disappear ed The present nuisance is what is known as 8 hairy caterpillar. They multiply very rapidly. have counted 254 eggs in space about l 1-10 by 3-4 inches. Each one of these eggs was capable of becoming cater pillar"
 '.Is there any other insect that preys upon these ?"
 'sYes; tAere is sort of fly, the tachina, but there are not enough of them. am sat- iefied that the only way to save our trees IS for the authorities to employ some one to kill them of. Boys could do it. It would require some one to climb the trees and col lect the worms and eggs and burn them"
 ssWhat is the course of propagation ?"
 stFirst you see this bundle of eggs have spoken of They are laid by the females on the cocoons. In about fourteen days these eggs are matched into caterpillars The cat srpilIars live upon the soft part of the leaves of the trees. You may see plenty of trees now without whole leaf. Then the trees in time die of lung complaint. for the leaves are their lungs. Each caterpillar will eat say twelve or fourteen times it's weight of leaves, until it gets to be about an inch and tenth

The Salt Lake City Tribune evidently does
 not care much more about the degrees con- ferred by Harvard than Governor Butler
 does. It says: Harvard this year turns out
 lS5 Bachelors of Art and one Bach elor of Agriculture. The proportion is not good,
 inasmuch as the Bachelors of Art know
 nothing about art there is not one of them
 who could by any art in the world smake living; and. further, inasmuch as the greatest problem that is now pr esent- ed to mankind is how to increase and cheapen the food supply of this rld so that by or dinary labor the workingman may feed his wife and children. Whether the Bachelor of Agriculture knows any more than others is very doubtful; but as an indication of the direction which his mind is taking his title is significant. We may never hear from him again; but if by his work he shall by and by discover new and cheap fertilizer,or explore chemistry until he comes upon the materials which will give to mankind sa more whole some biscuit for breakfast, his life will not
 be in vain.
 MT. Ruskin is decidedly stdown on'' the present mode of courtship. In his latest
 ''Fors"he expresses the opinion that love and courtship are now so absurdly mismanaged that it is little less than miracle if any hap piness comes of them. The present form of the matter he characterizes thus: ''In mis- erable confusion of candle light, moonlight and hmeight-and anything but daylight in lndecently attractive and insanely expen- sive dresses, in snatched moments, in hidden corners, in accidental impulses and dismal ignorance, young people smirk, and ogie, and whisper, and whimper, and sneak, and stum- ble, and futter, and tumble, and bIunder in- to what they call love-expect to get what ever they like the moment they fancy it, and are continually in the danger of losing all the honor of life for folly, and all the joy of 1t by an accident" In place of this kind of work he would have a young man who ad- mires girl go straight to her, like a man, and tell her of it. He is not to seek to be engag- ed to her, he merely defines his position Mir. Ruskin advises the girl to make 8 conf dant of her father rather than her mother What she is not inclined to tell her father made up her mind she is to notify the for tunate suitor and gently dismiss the others. In any case she should not decide hastily. The probation should be from three to sev- en years, in fact, the latter is 10 his mind "the orthodox time." These doctrines of Mir. Ruskin will not find much acceptance, among the young at least.

The election next month in Utah will be an important event in the struggle against polyg- amy, Members of the legislature, probate judges, sherifs, etc., are to be elected, and the issue will come home more directly to the people than did the election of congressional delegate last fall. The Edmunds. law con templates certain legislative enactments, which, if passed and carried into effect, will render the Utah commission needless. But the question is whether the legislature will pass such laws.

But at the be. ginning of the present year the council passed g license ordinance fixing the fee fof any grade of saloons where liquors are kept at $500. One saloon was immediately opened,
 and int two months the proprietor had made enough money to pay for his license and keep up his establishment besides, and there was no greater perceptible amount of drink ing in the place than before. Two other per sons are preparing to open saloons, making

Ex-Governor E. M. McCook of Colorado does not like the way in which General Crook proposes to treat the Apache Indians. He says they have for years been guilty of the most horrible outrages and he is in favor of feeding them only until they can be executed, and, if our government objects to hanging them, he thinks it had better turn them over to the Mexicans who will dispose of them in short order. He says he has for years been an advocate of treating Indian criminals pre- cisely as white criminals are treated when they are caught. The Bridgeport Standard is more unkindly disposed toward the Apaches than even McCook is It would have them appointed brakemen on freight trains.
 One of the most prosperous of Pennsyl- vania liquor dealers makes 1t point to open bar-rooms where there is strong local op. tion law to forbid sales. He reasons that men will have liquor if they want 1t, and, if they are obliged to get it on the sly, will not grumble at paying high price. He carried on his trade for two years in Sharon, where the traffic was prohibited. He managed to do it, however, and got dollau a pint for whiskey which cost hin, dollar and 8 quar- ter gallon. He often made over hundred dollars day. Finally they arraigned him in court. He had the case postponed for six months, and went on as before. The jury disagreed, and he had six months more.
