DISSATISFIED INDIANS.

CHICAGO, July 11.-Gen. Miles has sent
Capt. Higgins, one of his aides, to the In
dian agenties along the upper Missouri
with the object, it is said, of inquiring
into the many abuses that are alleged to
exist in the treatment by Indian agents of
their charges. 1t is limited that the Indians
have become much dissatisfied with the
supply of food and clothing furnished
them. Recently reports that the Indians
were becoming greatly excited and threat
ened to take the war path again were re-
ceived at army headquarters. Telegraph
inquiries to various agencies and army
posts in the northwest elected the infor-
nation that the reports were false; but
Gen. Miles has decided to remedy the diff
Guilty in their incipcency, and he has
ordered Captain Higgins to make a
thorough and complete inquiry, and TO go
among the Indians and personally inter
view the chiefs.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE weekly
weather crop bulletin issued by the
weather bureau says that the temperature
during the week ending July 10 has been
cooler than usual in all agricultural dis
tricts except in the Rio Grande valley
and on the coast of southern Cali
fornia, where the normal temperature
prevailed. The seasonal temperature con-
tinues slightly in excess of the normal
in the northern states east of the Rocky
mountains, while there is slight deficiency
in the gulf states and thence westward to
the Pacific coast. The rainfall during the
past week was generally in excess over all
the agricultural districts. Over the
greater portion of the country east of the
Rocky mountains the rainfull exceeded
one inch, and in the lower Mississippi
valley it ranged from two TO six inches.

A HESSIAN FLY PARASITE.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. July 11.-Early last
sDriup State Entomologist Forbes received
from the Smithsonian Institute at Wash
ingtou a few of the Larvae of a parasite
found only in Europe, and claimed 10 be
destructive of the Hessian fly. He under
took some experiments upon the Larvae 10

structiveEto the insect here, and if so. IN
what degree In order TO do this small
patch of wheat, about one yard square,
was enclosed in a bottomless box so ar
ranged that the grain could have air and
light to grow A considerable number of
Hessian flies and the Larvae of the parasite
mentioned were put in and the box was so
closed that they could not escape or other
insects get in. aud thus the experiment
was begun. The Larvae have Matched out
and are flourishing well. They are almost
microscopical insects, and seem TO have
been created solely to prey upon the Hess
sian fly They are neatly formed, wasp
shaped little mites, and are supplied with
a sharp sting or augur. With unerrlng
instinct they fluid the place where the Fly
has LAID its egg under the huSk OF the
straw, and boring down into it, the para
site lays its egg inside the egg of the fly.
There it, develops into minute grub, con-
suming the egg Of the fly and destroying
it. This is, in outline, what has been
proved by the experiment made, and 1t has
been surmised that the parasite Will prove
TO be more destructive in this country
than it has appeared to be in Europe. 1t

people in this country, and was first DIS

Pyrotechny is the art of producing
pleasing scenic effects by means of fire.
In China the knowledge of pyrotechny
extends back to its early history, but in
Europe it only goes back TO the discovery
of gunpowder by Guy Fawkes and 9TH
ers. A knowledge of chemistry is al
most necessary in the art of pyrotechny,
and yet find that knowledge of chem
istry without much practical experience
is almost entirely useless.
Pyrotechny, like the art of hiving the
overheated honey bee, is one that re-
quires considerable experience and a
