SOMETIME ago a kindergarten was
proposed in this city. The idea was
a good one, and the scheme should
not be allowed to languish. With
proper support Astoria is certainly
large enough to creditably support
one of those very useful institutions.
There are many little folks too small
to study with benefit in the usual
public school course, who would be
mentally and physically improved by
attendance at a properly conducted
kindergarten.

MILLIONS OF MOTHS.
Pennsylvania Visited BY Dense
Swarm Of Cotton Bats.


The Central portion Of Pennsylvania has
lust had a remarkable visitation of moths.
Myriads Of them infested the air, resembling
at distance snowstorm. Millions OF the
pests have been killed by futtering about the
electric lights at Reading and Easton, and
the same Site of affairs is reported from all
sections of the Lehigh Valley. In Easton
alone over forty bushels have been killed,
while other places report fully as many.
They are gathered up in the morning,
saturated with crude oil and then burned.
Fires were built under the lights and heaps
of the moths were burned. The doors and
windows of dwelling houses had also to be
kept closed to keep them out.
Entomologists say the insects are species
of cotton bat, usually called moth, and that
they spring from the cotton fields OF the
South, and always precede a hot wave fol
lowed by dry spell. Scientists say they
disappear as soon as the hot wave passes
Their greatest ravages occur every twenty,
one years. In the years 1904, 1925 and 1916
the whole cotton crop of the South was nearly
DESTROYED by them. They devour both the
short staple and the long staple cotton, ana
rarely, il ever, touch any other plant.
