USES OF INSECTS.

New Theories Advanced by . Promlnsne
New Jersey EntomOlogist.
George d. Hulst, entomOlogist OF the
New Jersey Experiment Station, holds
to the opinion that injurious insectH
after all are not an unmitigated evil
They make production a little more
laborious, he says, and add to the
chances of financial success for the
careful man. We have yet much to
learn about insects, and how to deal
with them; but we are advancing: A
knowledge of the life history of every
insect is needed in order to show US at
what stage Of its existence-egg, worm
Or caterpillar, chrysalis and perfect
insect-we can take it at its great
sst disadvantage. W poisonous
remedies the arsenical prepara-
lions answer the purpose for leaf-eaters

pyrethrum kill by contact A mixture
Of the two kinds, however. Paris green
or London purple with kerosene emul-
sion or pyrethrum, secure two chances

In many cases.
Mr.. Hulst also states that We need
stricter laws, or stricter enforcement
fexisting laws. against the destruction
Of birds The demands for material
Ior decorating female head-gear have
done more to strip the country OF our
song birds than the quarrelsome nature
Of the English sparrow. Among useful
insect eaters Mr.. Hulst names toads,
snakes, mo!es, the latter the only enc.

them smaller and slenderer than, bu
there was no doubt they were Of thi
same species as. the specimen secured
the day before. He secured a great
number of specimens, and remarked to
his companion that, unless the farm

measures to destroy that weed. it would
give them much trouble in the future
On his return to Washington Prof.
Ward identified his specimens as be-

PAR1s, Aug. ID. The court yesterday
found Gen. Boulanger guilty Of conspir-
acy. The state council has annulled the
elections in twelve departments in which
Boulanger was elected on the ground
that the general was not legally eligible
for the position. Boulanger has written
u letter in which he states he gave the
sums Of money, which he is accused Of
embezzling, to the chief clerk in the war
office, to be used for the relief of widows
and orphans of soldier. Five dodgers in
the house of Madame Pourpres, former
mistress Of Boulanger, have sworn that
the general was in Paris on July 10Th,
1887, the day on which it is alleged he
visited the city in disguise.

secure full vote, for the one can not be
done unless the other is. Therefore, the

GAME AND FISH WARDEN.

Petition We're Secured.

More Light on This Remarkable APP
pointment-How Signatures to the
Petition We're Secured.
The Rolfe attempts a defense of tie
county commissioners for appointing a
game and fish warden on the ground that
they we're petitioned to do so by 100 or
more tax payers. This is the fiimziest
possible excuse when the facts are con-
sidered.
In the first place the signatures to that
petition were secured by the appointee.
He didn't stop to explain that he was
working up "soft snap" for himself or
that it would be 800 month sinecure.
70 many he said the miners are killing
fish in Belt creek with giant powder and
it ought to be stopped. He rushed into
the TRIBUNE office almost out Of breath,
and laying the paper on our table, said:'
"Now, we are bringing car load Of fish
here to stock the bay, and | think the
commissioners should appoint a game
and fish warden to see that they (the Bfish)
are protected" We failed to agree with
him on this proposition. It is doubtless
true that not half dozen of the entire
number Of signers Of that petition ever
dreamed the proposition involved 800
month berth for the industrious circu-
lator Of the document. IA
Again, Section 5 of the game and fish
warden law says: "The compensation Of
such officer shall be at the rate Of not to
erceed 800 per month during the time
which he shall serve, etc" This is the
maximum compensation, and What texcuse
is there for the commissioners, having
needlessly appointed such an officer, go
ing to the full limit and allowing him the
highest possible salary? Even with the
petition before them it was not obligatory
on their part to make an appointment,
and several counties under like condi-
tions refused to do so. We consider that
this appointment is simply equivalent to
the county making q present Of $4OO to
D. Taylor.
