HEREDITY IN GEESE.
A Transmission of Terror to the Third
Anserine GeneratiOu.

A Transmission of Terror to the Third
Anserine Generation.
A correspondent of the Revue
Scientifque vouches for the following
story: For about twenty years he
was in the habit OF visiting two or
three times each year farm where
was kept flock of geese, numbering
from thirty to thirty-five in the early
part OF the winter, and in the spring
four or five left for breeding pur-
poses; these also generally being
killed few months later, after the
new broods had attained their
growth. In the month OF July, 1862,
on feast day, the farmer and his
men being absent, the geese were for
gotten and were attacked by dogs,
which killed many of them. The
next evening at twilight the farmer
thought they must have been at
tackled second time. He found them
flying about in their pen much fright
ened, but the dogs were nowhere to
be seen. The next day the terror re-
appeared at the same hour, as it did
on the following day, and from that
time on. The correspondent of the
Revue had forgotten this fact when,
ten years later, he CHANGED to
be on the farm one evening, and
heard the cackling of the apparently
frightened geese. When he asked for
an explanation, he was told that this
had been kept up from the time they
had been attacked by the dogs; that
there had been no repetition Of the
attack, and that the flock had been re-
newed in the meantime at least three
times. If this story is we'll anthem
ticated, we have case of the trans.
mission of terror to the third genera
ton in family of geese.

A Beetle That Eats Floors.

State Entomologist Lintner has re-
cciycd from Howe's Cave specimen
of beetle which has riddled a painted
kitchen floor in that place. The holes
are about quarter of an inch in diam
eter. The beetle is about an inch long,
gray. with black velvety dashes on its
wings. and the males have horns
Prof. Lintner finds that the depredator
is the long-horned pine-borer (Mono-
hamus confusor). Its larva, or grub,
is the one that causes the injurious
and unsightly burrows so often seen
in pine lumber. In this instance the
grubs must have been in the pine logs
before they were sawed into flooring.
From some unknown reason the grubs
occasionally remain in dormant or
unchanged condition for long time.
In the museum of the Peabody Acad-
envy of Science at Salem, Mass, one OF
these beetles is preserved which had
eaten its way out OF the wood
of pine bureau which was made
fifteen years before. As showing
a greater Imprisonment of beetles
in furniture it is additionally said
that in 1856 son of General
Israel Putnam, resi- ding at Williams
town, Mass, had table made from
one of his apple trees. Out of this,
twenty years afterward, a long horned
beetle gnawed his way, and second
one burrowed his way out twenty
eigh5years after the tree was cut down.

Two Hundred and Eighty Years OF I'm
movement.


In 1909. after traversing the Hudson
River from its mouth TO Albany, and care
fully noting the grandeur and beauty on
either side OF this magnificent highway Oh
nature, Hendrick Hudson wrote these
words:
at is as beautiful land as one can tread upon"
Two hundred and eighty years have mar
velously increased the beauty OF the great
river called by his name, and could ne re-
turn to the scenes Of his manhood, he
would hnd many more lovely sights
than those upon which his eyes rested
in the early part Of the seventeenth
century. The natural beauties OF the
Hudson are much the same, and no
description can exaggerate them; but the
magnificent steamers that ply between New
York and Albany, the innumerabe saillng
craft that dot the surface OF the mighty
river, the never-endiDg clusters OF canal
boats that are being towed up and down,
the beautiful villas that one encounters at
every turn, the magnificent monuments,
perpetuating heroic deeds, that we find here
and there along the banks of this noblest
river of the continent, add an endless va
riety to the scenery, and reslstieSS charm
to the eye of the traveller.
| The New York Central and Hudson River
Railroad runs along the bank of the Hudson
| river the entire distance between New York
and Albany, and is the great Trunk Line

The Tenants Crop.

The tobacco industry is one of the
greatest of this section of the country,
as it is made speciality by the people,
ON the principle that there is more
money in it than any thing else. 1t is
the only crop that land tenants have
an assurance of getting something out
of, and as long as the price keeps up
to figure in the neighborhood OF ten
cents their expectations are usually
realized. No one should raise tobacco
except tenants, from the fact that there
are so many tenants who are able and
willing to take charge of piece Of
land and cultivate it, and yet there
is not enough land to meet
their requirements. Whenever the
landlords add to the vol
ume of production-and when we
say land ords in relation to this mat
ter, we mean men who have large
farms who are not compelled to culti-
vate tobacco. but really ought to look
after other crops, and keep their farms
in repair AS they get half Of the to-
bacco produced on their farms they
can afford it for two very important
reasons. One. that the production is
lessened, and consequently the market
is not overstocked, and fair prices
rule as a general result. The other
reason is, it gives the landlord a
chance to look after the details
Of his farm and keep it pro-
ductive and in repair, and by both
means he secures more net profit with
less trouble and labor. The man who
does otherwise is simply the man who
kills the goose that lays the golden
egg, and is impoverishing the land,
the tenant and himself. Avaricious-
ness ofttimes leads men to oversteI

ly in an inordinate desire for the al.

OF course there are farmers

GRAND DUKE FERDINAND.
Under the Robe of Cardinal He Wor,
tho Mall Of Prince.

Under the Robe of Cardinal He Wore
tho Mall Of a Prince.
In the year 1909 Ferdinand, Grand
Duke of Tuscany, lay dying. Under
him Florence had maintained its COM
merce and Tuscany held it's own, in
spite of Emperor and Pope. Indeed,
long before he had exchanged q Car
dinars hat for the Tuscan throne this
Prince had given proofs of the reso-
luton. fire and vile which served to
maintain his state in those disjointed
times. The early occasion that called
these qualities into play is so typical OF
the time as to be worth recording
here. Tho story is recorded by
Napier. He says: I'm the year 1890
Pope Sixtus forbade that small arms
should be worn on pain Of death. Yet
one day from Prince Harnesses pocket
tumbled small pistol at the very feet
OF the Pontiff, and the Prince was Or
dered to be hanged at the same hour
next evening. Ferdinand, hearing of
this, determined to save his kinsman.
and to this end found means to retard
all the clocks OF Rome one full hour,
except the Pontiff's At the moment
appointed for the execution he re-
paired to the vatican and begged the
life OF his friend. Sixtus, seeing that
the time was passed and the execu-
ton, as he thought over. most gra-
ciously signed an order of release and
Ferdinand repaired to st. Angelo and
carried off the Prince in triumph. In
censed at this trick, the Pope determined
to arrest the Cardinal, whom he sum-
moned to the vatican. Ferdinand,
cognizant of the Pope's intention,
armed himself with cuirass and
short weapons, made his adherents
guard every entrance to the palace,
and then boldly entered the audience
chamber. Sixtus, informed of all
and cautiously assembling. received
him as usual Ferdinand bowed pro-
foundly and, purposely letting fall his
robe, showed a glittering cuirass. On
seeing this the Pontiff exclaimed:
MY Lord Cardinal, my Lord Cardinal,
what is thisp' This, oh most holy
father, replied Ferdinand, raising the
purple garment, is the habit OF Car.

and striking his mailed breast, is the

Conquering the Cotton Worm.

There was time when the announce
ment made in the papers that cotton
worms had been discovered in Louisi.
ana wou d have caused panicky feel
ing throughout the South; but that
time has fortunately long since passed,
and the news does not create the
slightest alarm to-day. The worm is
no longer the dangerous enemy we
thought it of old; and we have learned
how to meet and overcome it. Back
in the '70s it eat a large portion of the
cotton crop and considerably decreased
the yield.
The nuisance seemed to grow worse
from year to year-that is, the worms
came earlier and in greater numbers
until serious fears were entertained
that these little visitors would. like
the phylloxera of France, affect the
yield of the great Southern staple.
That fear, as we have said, no longer
exists. While other insect plaques
continue to worry the world, and no
way can be found to get rid of them, a
complete and efficient remedy has
been found for our cotton worm. Paris
green is too much for them; and it is
now recognized that with the timely
and plentiful use of that poison moth.
