some European countries to educa-
TING the masses to an acquaintance

end, exhibitions of insects are made at

Here is q practical and valuable hint
for adoption in this country. Many
q moth or butterfly that is now admir-
ed and allowed 10 escape, would be
destroyed if it's true nature as the par
eut of numerous destructive worms or
caterpillars, were known. Such shows
would excite interest, and be the
means of disseminating great amount
of much-needed information.
