Must be Spoken For.

The county court met in regular session

A Wooden Caterpillar.

One of the queerest things of Tasmania,
New Zealand and other parts of Austral-
asia is the bulrush or vegetable caterpillar.
This wonderful plant is a fungus, a spha-
eria, which grows seven or eight inches
above the ground, generally in a single
stem. round and thickiy covered with
brown seed for some five or six inches, end
ing in n curved wormlike point. 1t is usu-
ally found growing at the roots of par
ticular tree the rata of the natives
When this plant Is pulled up its single
root is found 10 be the exact counterpart
of a large caterpillar, say one three or
four inches long, which, although 1t pre-
serves every detail of such grabs. dissec-
tiOn proves it to be solid wood Intelligent
persons of the countries named above say
that this curiosity is formed in the follow
ing manner:
a large species of moth feeds on the
rata" tree; the grub of this moth bur
rows in the ground; the seed of the spbae-
ria gets lodged between the scales on the
grub's neck, strikes root and completely
turns the interior OF the creature into
woody substance. In every case the shell
OF the grub Is left intact, no small rootlets
puncturing it at any point. Scientists say
that the above explanation Is all 'bosh, ,"
and that the plant develops the form Of a
caterpillar because it is its nature % do 20
II this be true why should we laugh at
the stories of the Mandrake Man and the
Scythian Lamb. specimens Of which are
preserved in the Surgeons museum. Lon

GOVERNOR BOYO'S MESSAGE

LINCOLN. Neb, Feb. 6.-Governor James
+. Boyd delivered his first inaugural mes
sage to the legislature today The in
augural is not a long document and the
governor contents himself with few re-
marks OF a general character on the condl-
tiOn OF the state and its government and
several recommendations of Importance
He recommends the adoption of the Aus
tralian ballot with absolute secrecy as one
OF the necessary provisions; the acceptance
of the decision of the people on the prohi-
bition question as final; the election Of he
board OF railway commissioners by the
peopie: the selection OF presidential elect
ors by congressional districts; the estab-
lishment of public grain warehouses; the
recognition of the services of the national
guards while on duty on the frontier; the
appropriation for "a suitable exhibit at the
worlds fair
The message, as a whole, in its recon-
mendations does not differ from the one
his predecessor delivered yesterday.

In confirmation of this view the author
ity quoted refers to accounts of meteoro-
logical phenomena in old books, which,
freed from the superstition and ignorance
of those days, must have referred to cy-
clones and thunder storms similar to those
of the present day. In an old work pub
lished in l557-the "Livre des Prodiges," !"
by Lycosthenes-are quaint wood engrav
ings of cyclones and storms, one of which
is here reproduced. These storms in those
days of superstition, before the advent Of
Benjamin Franklin, were supposed TO be
due to the battles in the air of armies of
evil spirits Although, thanks to modern
Investigations, we have learned much
about the cause of such occurrences, and
are able to protect ourselves to a certain
extent from their consequences, there still
remains great deal that is mysterious
and unexplained as regards the cause and
action of cyclones or tornadoes.
