A CATS WHISKERS.
They Seem Ornamental. But They Are
Decidedly TsefuI

They Seem Ornamental. But They Are
Decidedly Useful
Nature is an economical dame, and
never indulges in useless gifts. If she
gives an animal or plant an appendage
of any kind, we may be sure that il
serves some wise purpose.
Take cats whiskcrs, for instance,
which may seem To you 70 be merely
ornamental They are organs of touch,
attached TO a bed of fine glands under
the skin, and each of these long hairs
is connected with the nerves Of the lip.
The slightest contact OF these whislxers
with any surrounding object is thus
felt most distinctly by the animal, al
though the hairs themselves are insen-
sible.
They stand out on one side of the
lion as well as the common cat. From
point to point they are equal to the
width of the animals body.
If we imagine, therefore, a lion steal
ing through covert of wood in an inn
perfect light, we shall at once see the
use of these long hairs. They indicate
TO him through the incest feeling any
obstacle which may present itself to
the passage of his body; they prevent
the rustIing of boughs and leaves,
which would give warning to his prey
If he were to attempt to pass too close
to bush; and thus, in conjunction
with the soft cushions of his feet and
the fur upon which he treads-the
claws never coming into contact with
the ground-they enable him to move
toward his victim with "A stiffness equal
TO that of snake. Boston

New Parasit. y hich Is Saving the Orange
Groves OF California.
''They are not much 70 look at, but
they do their work in good style"
Alexander Crow, entomologist uf th.
state board Of horticulture, was locking
very closely and with evident satisfac-
ti0n at what appeared to the naked eye
as minute speclxs of dust on piece of
glass as ne made the remark, and passed
the glass to a san Francisco Examiner
reporter.
''What is it?T
Let me put this slide under the mi-
croscope and then see for yourself"
Under the glass the tiny specll. hardly
visible to the naked eye, became well
developed fly. about as large as horse
ily, with two pairs of wings, three pairs
of legs and pair of antennae- The
wings were covered with long, bristly
hairs, and the legs terminated each
with a pair of pincer-ike claws. If
small, it was evident that the little fell
low was amply prepared to do battle
for life.
Its a fly, sure, but what is it good
for?"
Next TO the vedolia, it is, perhaps,
the most valuable insect known in Cali
foruia," continued Mr.. Crow. This
little fly. for which we have yet no
name, but which belongs to the Chalcid
family, is the natural foe of what is
known as the yellow or san Gabriel
scale. Each female will lay probably
from fifty to- one hundred eggs, and
those eggs develop larvae that feed upon
the scale insect. The female is fur
nishcd with a sharp stingCrlille ovipos-
ter. This she thrusts under Il scale in
sect, and deposits an egg, which matches
into Il voracious little grub that, as soon
as hatched, proceeds to consume it's
adopted parent. Under the skin of the
scale insect it passes through its meta
nOrphoses, when il eats its way out
fully developed fly, prepared to lay eggs
for another generation of yellow scale
eaters"
1t is such "a little speclz. How did
YOU ever discover it?i
The orange orchards in San Gabriel
valley were badly covered with the yell
low scale The foliage was sparse and
the fruit almost valuclcss. Before the
fruit could be marketed the growers
had To put il in long water troughs and
scrub the scale off with brooms. and
then it was not clean. So destructive
was the pest IN fact, that many orchard
lists talked of giving up the business
Mr.. Coggsweu ut Sierra Madre had an
orchard that was badly infested, and
after awhile it began to improve until
the trees became clean and the fruit cx-
cellent. Other orchards in the vicinity
showed signs of Improvement. and L
began to look for the cause, when close
observation showed this little fellow at
work. Prof. Coquilettc had also discov-
cred it and a study of its habits has
shown it to be the natural remedy, and
l believe the only remedy, for the de-
structive yellow scale.

ing enthusiastic. that minute specll is

British Maps.

British fondness for territory is illus
uated very graphically in a well-known
pocket atlas published by an English
firm. British possessions are all print
ed in a brilliant shade of red, but the
world is large place, and even the
numerous colonies of the little isle fail
to make as great show as was desired,
so Grant Land, the great continent of
rock and ice lying north of the arctic
circle, and Graham Land, n similar
tract south of the antarctic circle, were
also printed in a rosy hue. These desc
late wastes are underlined and unex-
plored, and of about as much use as the
milky way. Certainly no nation will
dispute Brittania's right to paint them
red il she wants to.
