Flea Beetles on Grape Vines.
When the grape vine is beginning to leaf
out in spring, the tender buds are often
eaten by small steel-blue beetle shown in
Fig. 8. This insect is known as the grape
vine flea beetle. 1t belongs to group OF
the coleoptera which are called flea beetles
for the reason that the hind thighs are en-
larged, enabling them to jump like feas.
These insects pass the winter in the beetle
state. On warm spring days they come
out from their winter quarters and feed
upon the buds, as just described. A lit
tie later in the season they lay their straw
colored eggs in clumps of four or five upon
the upper and under sides of the leaves.
From these eggs hatch small brown Larvae
which walk slowly and awkwardly and
which feed upon the substance of the Leaf.
Upon reaching full growth, in from three
to four weeks, they drop to the ground and
transform to pupa, second generation OF
beetles appearing about June or July.
This is a very common insect and one which
it is easy to follow through its different
stages.
The larva upon the leaves may be
destroyed by spraying with Paris gr cen
or London purple in the proportion of
tablespoonful to large bucket of water.
The beetles when feeding upon the buds
in spring work only in the bright sun
light in the middle of the day, and can
then be Jared off upon cloth stretchers
saturated with kerosene and thus de-
stroyed.
The Familiar worm.Eaten Apple.

the little white or reddish worm so COM

below zero, the younger men were oolects
of sympathy. They were literally almost
frozen to death. No one mad NOTICED them.
The window in the bottom of the car was
still open, and the view of eternal, Jagged,
crystallizsd waves of ice smote the two
sufferers with nervous terror. Why did
this fear overcome them now for the first
time? Because they were the only ones
who inordinately realized their danger. 1t

uncomfortable Pole fever burned him.
seUp, menp' cried the Sergeant, slapping
them nightly upon the backs. Jump!
Fling your arms about! Have little ac-
tionl You wouldn't die yet?"
The first oath heard from their COM
mander and his fierce look of contempt
awoke the men and their manhood. That
was their turning point. From that hour
they did not lose heart again.
"You are reveling in luxury now. That's
right. Brace up" said the Sergeant, en-
couragingly. '1n ten minutes we'll be cast
down there to work as never men did be-
fore. Keep away from the frel You'll
grow spongy!
AS he spoke he looked at the great heater
and the Atkinson cooker. He had not felt
the cold. He reveled in it. The inventor
also seemed untouched by the icy breath of
farthest North. The pallid, thin tutor had
shrunken into his furs far out of sight He
had read how to do these things, and his in
telligent mind protected his body. The
Sergeant cast one glance at the two stoves
and then glared upon Jack Hardy, to
whom the care of the stores had been in
trusted.
'Come here, sir!'' he commanded. Jack
was so startled that he did not stir at first.
"You have disobeyed me! Come here, sirP'
Then Jack walked toward his commander.
He had never obeyed, in the military sense,
before. He did not know what was coming.
"After all. thought the commander, 81
must be lenient with him. He didn't know.
He couldn't help it. mo" he continued
aloud, "pardon me. Don't come. 1 shouldn't

had quite forgotten to fill them. They had
had no oil since they had started.

rosae). 1t is a rather small insect, not so
large as an ordinary house-fy, is shiny
black in color and about one-ffth of an inch
in length. The members of the. family to
which it belongs are called saw-fies for the
reason that each female is furnished with a
little saw at the hind end of her body; with
this saw she makes hole in q leaf or twig
for the reception of her eggs. The rose
saw-fy saws minute oblique cuts into the
surface of the rose leaf, and in each of these
little holes deposits an egg. This interest

Living in Underground Cells.
When the Shiny Larvae have become full
grown they either creep slowly down the
stem to the ground or curl up and drop
from the leaf upon which they have been
feeding. They then burrow into the earth
for an inch or more. Each one makes a
little oval cell of grains of earth cemented
together with a gummy silk which it Sc
cretes from its mouth. Here the slug trans
forms to pupa, issues as perfect fly in Au-
gust, to lay eggs which hatch second brood
of young, which pass the winter in the un-
derground cells or cocoons
And now as to remedies: A mixture of
white hellebore and water SPRAYED upon
the bushes is effective. Any fine powder,
such as common road dust, thrown upon
the bushes, will stick to the slimy covering
of the Larvae, clog up their breathing holes,
and either kill them outright or cause them
to drop to the ground, where they eventually
die. The remedy should be applied at
night; if in the daytime, the under sides of
the leaves must be reached. When a strong
stream of water can be directed upon the
bushes from hose, as is usually the case in
cities, thorough drenching of the plants
with water every evening will probably
keep the bushes free from slugs
The pear saw-fy Oound also upon the
cherry is closely allied to the rose saw
fly. 1t works in almost precisely the same
way, and is almost equally abundant Its

CHAPTER VIII.

| THE LANDING.
| At this new sound every man started
Four looked questioningly into the engln
room. One haggard face looked out OF l
appealingly.
The delicate machinery seemed to CRATE
upon itself, as if it were running on hle'
instead of on oiled ball-bearings.
"We are still going, anyway" ventured
the tutor, with CHASTITY smile of hopeful,
ness. "What is that noise?"
'It is the propeller" said the inventor
mournfully.
From the forward window in the engine
room the revolving blades of the huge pro
peller could be distinctly seen. They nc
longer turned smoothly. They rotated
with staggering reluctance. The light
bronze shaft seemed to grind in its groove.
| Were these erratic motions due to an lrreg.
| ularity of the alternate current, or to the
effect of 40 degrees below zero upon the
| oiled parts of the machinery? Or, had the
sensitive mechanism partaken in all its
parts of the nervous syncope attributed to
it by its sympathetic constructor?
ooh, for another hourp' calculated the
Arctic hero, almost beside himself with the
possibilities held out before him. Already
they had done what no one else had accom-
plished. What might he not hope for?
He pulled out his watch. 1t was o'clock
in the morning of the day after they had
started.
Such an achievement as this is not more
marvellous than the telephone, the phono-
graph, the pneumatic gun, the new printing
press, or a dozen other mechanical devices
for overcoming distance, tor destroying
snace for conOuerinQ time.
The five aerial adventures had not slept
these 21 hours nor had they eaten. How
could they? Thus far their experience had
been UNIQUE. The commonplace had been
driven out. If they could have stopped
breathing during these tremulous hours
thew would have done so, that their whole
energy might be concentrated upon their
voyage. M
But, after having been hurled like a
meteor upon the North Pole, they were
now only travelling to their mission as fast
as backswoods excursion train, and that
only fitfully. At any moment the Aeropole
might halt. True, they were not more than
30 feet above the paleocryptic rayines be-
meath them, but even such fall was not to
be risked.
"With what velocity can she sustain her
self?'' asked the Sergeant, troubled.
"When we only move at the rate OF i've
miles an hour" replied Prof Wilder,
thoughtfully. 'T will transmit the, little
power left to the horizontal wheels, that We
may descend as safely as possible"
iBut supposing they don't work?' whis-
pered the tutor.
aThen we shall come down in a circle
like bird of prey. Our lateral fins will
act like parachute. 1 Iapprehend no con-
tact dangerous enough to wreck the air
ship, only perhaps series of sharp bumps.

ears are here shown extended. They must
be drawn with ragged lower edge in old
elephants The forehead projects but
slightly forward. The eyes, though small,
are notable for their odd setting in the
rough line of the side of the face. The line
of the upper lip passes over the tusks,
making marked fold of flesh at the side OF
the mouth. Note how the trunk falls be-
tween the tusks and tapers to point, giving
a slender triangular form to the entire front
of the head. The trunk is marked by hori-
zontal seams, especially when the muscles
are contracted. Cunier states that in the
trunk are nearly 40, 900 muscles, which have
the power of distinct motion.

seem to be looking around a corner-a

be seen that the outline of the back

head follows quite closely the bony frame.
The general form of the elephant is shown
in Fig 2. The dotted lines give the special
characteristics. Note carefully the curve of
the back, and that it is highest little
forward of the center, as is noticeable in
the skeleton Gig. y. The under line of
the body is remarkable for its uncommon
slants upward from back to front, starting
from the hind leg and rising steadily along
up to the under lip. These upper and under
lines are very important in giving the
peculiar character of the form.
In Fig. also note the jointed lines
which give the direction and articulation
ofthe bones of the frame. 1t will be Seen
that after all they are similar to the general
plan of all animals

WHY BEES WORK AT DARK
1t Is Because the Honey Would Crystalline,
IL Made in the Light.

IL Made in the Light.
Bees work at night in the hive, and build
comb as perfectly as if an electric light
shone there all the time. 1t has often
been asked, says Pearson's Weekly, why they
prefer to work in the dark. Everyone
knows that honey is liquid with no solid
sugar in it. After standing, it gradually
assumes crystalline appearance, or granu-
lates and ultimately becomes a solid mass.
1t has been stated that this change is due to
the same agent which alters the molecular
arrangements of the iodine of silver on the
excited collodion plate and determines the
formation of camphor and iodine crystals
in bottles.
Honey has been experimentally enclosed
in well-corked TASKS, some of which were
kept in perfect darkness, while the. others
were exposed to the light The result was
that the portion exposed to the light soon
crystallized. while that kept in the dark
remained unchanged. Hence we see why
the bees are so careful to obscure the glass
windows which are placed in their hives
The existence of the young depends on the
liquidity of the saccharine food presented
to them, and if light we're allowed access to
this, it would, in all probability, prove
fatal to the inmates of the hive.
