The Handling System.

v. G. klee, State Fruit Inspector, says
OF the banding system to catch the larvae
of the Goblin moth, that its usefulness is
based on the observed habit of the larve
when leaving the apple to seek shelter
under the bark. The band around the tree
provides artificial shelter for the worm
and the majority of the Larvae no doubt
find their way to it, although a sufficient
number to give future trouble finds other
hiding places on fences, buildings etc, and
perhaps more than anywhere else, under
clods at the foot Of the tree; and it is here
in an old orchard that cocoons are inva-
riably found. To band most effectively
the ground Of the whole orchard. and es-
pecialiy Immediately around the tree
should be thoroughly pulverized. The
greatest obstacle, however, to the success
of the banding, or any other system of pest
destruction, lies in the neglect of contigu-
Gus or nearby owners in permitting their
own trees to become infested, harboring the
pests to fly away and spread havoc in all
the neighborhood. Under the present de-
fectlye law no adequate power is vested in
the hands of the authorities, nor provision
made for expenses to permit the thorough
dlsinfection of orchards. 1t is expected.
however, that this will be remedied by the
next Legislature. Growers are cautioned
to keep careful watch upon bands in posi-
ton upon trees, and destroy all Larvae be-
fore they escape to become the progenitors
of later brood otherwise the band be-
comes Matching nest instead of a de-
strover.

AFTERNOON SESSION
The =" secret Honevmoon >,

The latest within in New York society is
the " secret honeymoon" The groom ar
ranges with his best man how long he may
be absent, tells him the places he would
not like to go to, gives him sum of
money, and leaves the rest entirely to him.
Neither he nor his bride have the least
idea where their honeymoon is TO be spent
until they are on the steamer or train, as
the best man accompanies them to the
wharf or station, checks their luggage and
hands the groom the tickets at the last
moment. When this is done the groom
opens an envelope, finds his route all laid
out for him, and is saved the annoyance of
telegraphing to hotels and arranging minor
details.
There is more or less humbug about
wedding journeys as only half the young
couples announced as sojourning at the
seaside ever get much farther away than
some neighboring city, and the Canadian
cities and towns are largely patronized by
bridal couples who are advertised in g the
East" The wedding journey is an expen-
sive luxury, yet few young people starting
out in life have the courage to commence
it by defying the unwritten law Of fashion,
which obliges them TO make themselves
the miserable objects of public curiosity
and private discomfort for the sake of what
society will say about them if they con-
suit their pocket books and inclination and
remain at home.-Boston Traveller.

Potency Of Eacts.

\ fact is always 4 fact, whatever may be
the consequences. The question is, wheth-
er it is true; the student should recognize
no other. Many of the facts encountered
in our studies are obscure and hard to ex-
plain, but that does net prevent their be-
ing facts or at least the chief question
should be to learn whether they are facts.
Besides, contradictory facts are the ferment
of science. l once asked distinguished
man of science how certain discovery he
had made was getting on. at is not get
ting on" he replied. "What is the mat
ter with it?" l anxiously asked. why"
he said, Il find no facts except those which
are favorable to it; and,' he added, st
takes contradictory facts 10 teach u.s."
This is true. The theory will either ex-
plain the contradictory facts and be forti-
fed by them, as the Newtonian theory
has been by all the exceptions that have
been opposed to it and which have entered
into it; or it will be replaced by vaster
and more comprehensive theory. In
both cases there is gain for science,
which would not have been obtained
if we had hesitated, on account of vain
scruples, to seek out and verify the
facts in question. In principle, every
science should be independent of those
which come after it. Chemistry, for ex-
ample, whether organic or physiological,
in studying the chemical conditions of life,
is held to one thing only-to seek out and
discover those chemical conditions-and
has no other function. 1t is not for it to
occupy itself with the interests of vital
force nor with anything that concerns the
vital. Its right and duty are to push as far
forward as possible the chemical explana-
ton, for who else is to do it? Then comes
the Psychologist. His business is to bring
into light the new element which has been
added to the former. Chemistry could
have been preoccupied with this only to
its detriment. If chemistry had been con-
cerned to take care Of the existence of the
vital principle, it would not have achieved
the splendid discovery of organic snythesis
which has made the name of NJ Berthelot
illustrious. Does this signify that life is
not chemical fact T.? Not at ALL But it
belongs to physiology, and not to chemis-
try, to exhibit the peculiar quality that
distinguishes the one science from the
other.-PaM Janet IN Popular Science
