The Wheat-Head Army Worm

There has of late years appeared, rst
IN Pennsylvania and Maryland, and
later i'm Kansas and Missouri, says Prof.
Riley, an insect in many respects like
the true army worm, but which has
shown peculiar tendency to feed upon
the heads of wheat and other small
grains. When newly Matched, this diff
fers from the true army worm by its
black head and later by having five in
stead of seven pale lines, and six in
stead of eight dark ones. The habit OF
feeding upon the grain becomes fixed
only when the worms are half-grown, as
before that they attack the leaves, grass,
etc. Several parasitic insects diminish
its numbers, and it has been suggested
that the worms could be greatly dimin
ished by setting traps to attract the
moths by means of lights to poisoned
sweet liquids.

and, learning that he did not reside in

Biologists are becoming aware of the

LEGATION of the Royal Belgian Academy,
argues that the law of sensation produc.

NAL and vegetable kingdoms, that
plants are sensible to the influence OF
environment, and not only move but
are able to coordinate their movements
All the phenomena of motion arc ulti-
mately traced 10 protoplasm, II living
substance common alike TO plants and
animals. and whose general and essen
tial characteristics are precisely the
power of sensation and movement. II
has the faculty of receiving impressions
and of moving rcsponsively. IL stirs
therefore il lives, and the same is true
of every organism from man TO the mi.
crobc and the plant Life may be de-
fined as the activity of protoplasm. al

nature is still unknown.

they discharge their duty? The state q

Why was not sufficient guard provided

A stigma Is cast upon the state.
How much farther is the mob spirit to

courts and juries, all the expensive ma
chincry OF The law? OF what use are
constitutions or laws, OF legislatures, or
state houses, or court houses. or jails, OF
county or state officers! Are the people
OF Indiana ready to be governed BY
mobs? What class would then rule
THAT would soon be the condition Of the
people!
This is case that calls for the most
rigid investigation. 1t Is case which
should try the strength Of the law and
The loyalty OF the people thereto. The

Crop Prospects and . Silver
Standard.

Evansville Courier.
Mr.. j. ID. Armstrong, United Statesl
travelling deputy collector OF Indiana.
who has lust returned from an extended
trip through the counties Of southern
Indiana, has been interviewed BY .
Courier reporter regarding crops, etc.
Mr.. Armstrong gives II as his opinion
that the winter wheat crop will be about
the usual average the coming season,
both as 10 yield and acreage. SO far but
little damage has been done, but says the
month Of March Is the worst month OF
the season 10 base calculations. But 10
compare the present prospects with the
months of previous years,
the outlook is most favorable.
Continuing, Mr.. Armstrong said that
the crops OF southern Indiana will change
.erv materially during the next five
wears. The tobacco crop which has
really been the leading crop will dimin-
lish each year as the farmers have learned
that il Is not so profitable as many other
lproducts aud il very hard on the land
The corn crop will be considerably lar
ger than during former years owing to
the firmness OF the price OF this product
as compared with wheat and other cere'
lals.
| Charles Bascom, a very intelligent and
one Of the best known farmers IN Spen
cer county, in conversation with Mr.
Armstrong gave il as his opinion tha
The time is not far distant when silvel
will be the standard Of coin measures
and corn the standard for all our mar
lkcts. His reasons are that wheat can b
raised proftably in all sections Of th'
'lglobe. while corn is limited and con
'ltroIled exclusively by climate and soil
THAT tile corn belt" as 1t Is termed
Limited TO . comparatively small geo
graphical area. Upon the other ham

mate must be adopted 20 corn, or =
: ''lcrop will be the result The opinion
a, Mr.. Bascom Is that silver will be II
standard coin, from the fact that Il cor
,lstitutes the peoples money, and. lik
