The Gipsy Mott, Pest.

From the New York Tribune, Aug. %
In spite of all the efforts Of the gipsv moth
commissioners in Massachusetts that cantank-
erous insect is still engaged in his vicious and
indefensible work. 1t is estimated now that
the work of exterminating him will occupy at
least FIVE years, during which time tho state
will be called on to pay the commissioners
bills. though it is hoped to make them smaller
than they have been the present year. Some
OF the efforts pnt forth have been experimental
purely and have not proved successful Tor
instance, one device was to suspend pans of
kerosene under street lights, so that when the
moths few to the lights they would fail into the
kerosene and be destroyed. But this WAS labor
in vain. for il turns out that the female
gypsy moth does not fy at all, while the males
have been so well brought up that-much to
the establishment Of the grave professor who
records the discovery-they do not fly later
than about $50 in the evening"" and the pro-
fessor mournfully adds: AS It is scarcely dark
at that time very few, il any, could be destroyed
in this way" The professor does not seem to
have attempted to undermine the moths habit
Of going to bed early, though that method Of
dealing with the pest may be resorted to later
on. Meanwhile 1t is a satisfaction to know that
the commissioner experts are able to detect
gypsy moths nest at q distance of forty feet
The 8. N. must go!

The Time for Conve ring Them Into Two Per
Cents indefinitely Extended.

Cents Indefinitely Extended.
Secretary Foster has issued an order extend
ing the time indefinitely when the AS no, re-
deemed may be extended at 2 per cent interest
There is not as yet any indication that those
bonds not extended are going to be dumped
into the treasury all at once. 1t is believed at
the department that it will not DO necessary to
withdraw more than possibly two,
three or four millions from the gov
eminent repositories. Three millions
may be Withdrawn, but it is
necessary in carrying on the current business
that a considerable amount should be kept as q
current account in those banks which are desig-
mated as government repositories.
1t is not thought that any serious incon-
yenience to the banks can arise from the with
drawals that will be made.
In most instances il will be nothing more
than a matter of bookkeeping The banks
have the bonds on deposit in the treasury and
hold the government money as repositories.
The government will merely cancel the bonds
and the banks will keep the money. being paid
the difference between the amount they hold
and the value Of the bonds taken by the gov
erumeut
The redemption of the bonds will reduce the
available cash in the treasury to almost moth
ing, but the department has passed the point
where there is any feeling OF doubt about the
ability to redeem the bonds.

From the Providence journal.
very beautiful astronomical phenomenon
will occur on the evenings OF September and
8. VOLTS comet. which is now family visible
in the constellation Aries. will pass over or
occult some of the smaller stars of the Pieiades
At its nearest the comet will only be few min
utes north Of Alcyone, the brightest star of the
group. VOLTS comet is one of the list of
comets of very short period, its period being
somewhat less than seven years. the time of last
perihelion passage being about the LIST of Octo-
Der. 1884. The time of the present perihelion
passage will be on the 5th of September. Wolff 8
comet is one Of those comets which never APP
proaches very near to the sun. and is Away
outside of the orbit Of Mars, even when nearest.
Its present distance from the sun is in round
numbers about one hundred and forty-seven
millions Of miles and from the earth about ore
hundred and four millions of miles. Any one
having access to telescopes will have no trouble
whatever in identifying the comet on the two
nights OF its near approach to the Pleiades.
The Pleiades now cross the meridian between
$50 and in the morning, that by midnight
they are we'll situated for observation.
There is another comet which is now well
situated for observations. II is Encke's famous
| short-period comet, with period of only three
ana 0ne-tnlru tC2ts-tne shortest PERIOD OF auy
known comet of the present day. Encke s
comet is now visible in the northeast, and ia
situated about ten degrees south of the bright
star Capella, the leading brilliant in the con-
stella ton AuriSa. Enckes comet is one OF
those comets rarely visible to the naked eye,
| although on solAe occasions il has just been
detected Gas in October and November, 1881
as a faint brush of light shining a star of the
fifth magnitude. In the telescope the comet
presents fairly well-defned nucleus with a
hazy envelope, often SO thin that the faintest
star can easily be seen through it,
One Of the most singular facts connected with
it is that itsperiod is shortening. From the year
1897 to the year 1875 the period has shortened
nearly four days. The only explanation of this
| shortening of period is that there exists in
space thin medium capable of affording a re-
sistance 10 bodies of so little density as the
small comets and yet not dense enough to ap-
pareutly Offset the motions of the planets.
Encke's comet at perihelion passes just within
the orbit of Mercury and at aphelion passes be-
tween Jupiter and the asteroids. Tie distance
of the comet now from the earth and sun is

THE SEDAN ANNIVERSARY.
Glowing Comments of the German Pres

Glowing Comments of the German Press.
BERLIN, Sept To-day occurs the twenty
first anniversary of the battle of Sedan.
The comments OF the German press on the
occasion are couched in the language Of pes
simism.
The National Zeitung says that never since
the event eommemorated today have the minds
Of the German people been so much filed with
the possibility that they may be called upon to
fight for the retention Of those things which
they won in the war Of 1870 as they are at
this hour.
The Tage6laH declares that in the internal
agitation prevailing in Russia is found one of
the few securities for the preservation Of the
peace Of Europe. In Russian Poland. it adds.
this agitation has enormously increased Of
late years. The TdgebIat contends that the
only hope for the Poles rests in the kaiser. who
at the movement o. his hand could gather
around him all the most desperate Of Polish
patriots.
