cricket and heard its chirp among the
foliage in the fall, as it is quite COM
mon at that season. Tho crickets be-
come full grown at this time and it is
then that the female, in order to propa-
gate her kind, instinctivcly becomes an
enemy to the raspberry producer. With
long ovipositor which she knows
how to use, an incision half way through
the cane is made and in this is
placed yellowish white egg about
one.eighth of an inch long: Then
others are placed by the side of this till
there are often fifteen or more in a row
as seen in the figure. The wood dies
around the punctures and the cane often
dies above the wound or is weakened
enough to break off. 1t may survive
the winter and not break till some
windy day when the foliage has issued,
but a cane badly punctured is almost
worthless.
Strange as it may seem, the cricket
feeds on the raspberry at no time in its
life. When the eggs hatch in early
summer, the young crickets leave the
canes and live upon plant lice at first
and later upon ripe fruits and succulent
foods The eggs are probably placed
inside the canes for better protection
from the depredations of predacious
and parasitic insects that would other
wise devour them.
Every cane that contains the eggs of
this cricket should be cut off below the
wound and burned. If care is taken in
doing this, the crickets for this year
will nearly all be destroyed while yet
in the egg state and the canes next fall
will be nearly exempt from such at
tack.-G. c. Davis, in Farm, Field and
Stockman.

THE ECONOMY OF NATURE.

1t Serves n Suggestion in the PRODUCE
tion of Electric Lights.
1t would hardly be supposed that the
FREELY and the glow worm could give
points to the electrician in the matter
of illumination. The fitful light of tho
one and the modest glow of the other
do not appear to excel in any respect
the brilliancy of the arc light or the
brightness of the incandescent lamp.
Prof. Langley has shown, however,
that our best sources of light are sur
passed by nature in one very impor
tant respec-the production of light
unaccompanied by heat. OF the energy
supplied by gas and oil for lighting
purposes much more than ninety-nine
per cent. is given out of heat. Even in
the electric arc light the waste is
ninety per cent. and in the incandcs-
cent lamp ninety-four per cent. The
insect world is much more economical.
The most careful measures made with
the delicate bolometer fail to show any
sensible heat in the light of the FREELY.
There is no reason why nature should
not be successfully initiated in this re-
spect, and Prof. Hertz hopes to make a
practical application of his discovery
in method of obtaining better results
than we now do from our present Or
binary means in getting electrical vi
brations similar in every respect to
those of light but of greater wave
length. BY modifying his original ap.
paratus he has some prospect Of pro-
ducing waves so much shorter that all
of them will be luminous; in other
words, of developing a new source of
light without heat. The result, if sue
cessful, will be an entirely new method
of illumination, differing as widely
from the electric lights as they do
from gas and lamp light, and sur
passing them all in economy and CON-
fort.-Robert w. Prentiss, in Chau.

THE TALLOW TREE.
4 Singular Vegetable Product Indigenous
to China.

4 Singular Vegetable Product Indigenous
to China.
Mr.. Hosie, the British consul at
Wenchow, in his last report describes q
vegetable product which 10 cultivated
in his district. This is the tallow tree
the fruit of which produces oil as we'll
as tallow. The berries, which resemble
coffee beans in appearance and size,
are first steamed and then pounded in
an ordinary rice trough. By pounding,
the soft, mealy mesocarp is partially
separated from the kernels. The whole
is then placed in a bamboo sieve, the
meshes of which are just large enough
to allow tho mealy matter to be
scrubbed through, and small enough to
keep back the kernels, which are hard,
black and about the size of peas. From
the mealy matter the tallow is ex-
pressed in primitive wooden presses.
To obtain oil, the kernels are dried and
passed between two millstones held at
such distance apart, by means of .
bamboo pivot, as to crush the hard
shells of the kernels without iniuring
the white interiors The whole is then
passed through winnower, which
separates the broken shells from the
solid matter. Tho latter is then placed
in deep iron pan, and roasted until It
begins to assume brownish color, the
process being accompanied by continual
stirring to prevent burning. The
crushed shells make an excellent fuel
for the purpose. It is then ground by
huge stone roller in q circular stone
well, steamed, made into circular cakes
with bamboo and straw castings, and
passed through the wooden press. A
good lighting oil Of . brownish color
is thus obtained. The tallow is called
''p' yu"-that Is, skin or external oil. -

How This Insect Plays Havoc in aasp-

The raspberry probably suffers more
from the attack of this insect than any
other. Every little while we receive
canes from various persons asking for
the cause of injury. This injury can
be very easily detected from outside ap-
pearances and when the cane is split
open it looks very much like the one in
the figure.
The snowy tree cricket (Ecanthus

When large enough for blanching, in

each plant are gathered up and tied
