Leopard moths, which are com.

appearing first in Brooklyn some five
years ago, threaten to become as de.
structive as the Gypsy moth. and it Is
feared that they will be more difficult

erS and not easily reached with in
secticides. The moth is easily rec
ognized, being white with black dots,
and the larva is also marked in the
same way. She deposits her eggs
usually In or near the crotch ola tree,
and the eggs hatch In June, and the
young then begin boring into it,
usually at the crotch, going either
upward or downward, but always at
the heart OF the tree, so weakening it
that the limbs are broken off BY a
slight wind, or even by their own
weight Thus far the work of the
leopard moth has been chiefly upon
the naples, but the elms, lindens,
white oaks, mountain ash, hawthorns,
mulberry, tulip and at least one va
riety OF hickory have shown their
presence, as also have apples, pears

In Slgnor Gessi's Seven Years in

or their elephant hunting the author
says:
In all the villages the brothers
found an enthusiastic welcome: the
people knowing that wherever they
were meat was never wanting. Both
men were stfong-limbed and of up
common agility.
When an elephant rushed upon
them they calmly awaited him, and
at the right moment leaped to one
side. The elephant, not being able
to stop, turned toward one of the two
brothers, and the other plunged a
lance into his side. The animal then
quilted the first man and fell upon
the one who had wounded him, and
at that Instant the other cut the
tendons of the hind legs, bringing the
elephant at once to the ground.
One day, however, one Of the
brothers was near falling victim to
his boldness. He attacked an ele.
plant alone in the usual way, but
stumbled and fell. He rose directly,
but the elephant had already seized
him IN his trunk, and hurled him to
distance OF fifteen feet Fortu.
nately he fell ia the middle of thick
bush, and escaped with some scratches
and bruises
His friends laughed at the accident,
and the next day he said:

times than not take my revenge"

evening he returned and called the

about one hundred and twenty thousand
Indians and about one hundred villages.
Now there are not more than thirty-five
thousand of these poor Los and about
twenty-five villages.
Long before Columbus sailed from

dian village = Isleta was ancient.
In this valley--now called the Rio
Grande--the Pueblos had their vii
Iage and enjoyed a 'semi-barbarou
civilization in the pursuit of agriculture
But with the "discovery of the New
World, which is the old" came the cav
alier, adventurer and half bandit; the
soldier, the hidalgo, the mutineer and
all of that class in search of what fortune
or chance might throw in their way.
Here they found "a day whose noon has

They also make large quantities Of
earthenware resembling stone, aud in the

curious designs aud figures. Heaps OF
wild thyme and rushcs are set on Gre and

thrown upon the hot ashes. when the

do this work, while the men serve A.

The pottery factory is located Ia the

turtles ago. As means Of protection
from surprise by the enemy there were
no doors to the houses, and when per
son called on his neighbor, after looking
through hole or the blinds to see who
it was, a ladder was let down, which the
caller would climb, when the ladder was
drawn up after hun.
The plan of construction of these
houses has never been changed. The
houses are built in common, and in com
partments, as French flats, but instead
of pushing the button the caller stands
outside and gives war-whoops until he
| arouses the host. Only those houses or
compartments fronting ona street have
| windows, and these are very small and
| grated like the lookout port holes OF q
Mexican jail. In the construction of
these houses no lime is used. The
adobes are cemented with the mixture of
ashes, charcoal and earth, seemingly
more lasting than cement, enduring for
centuries. The families live peaceably
on this community plan, and rarely in
dulglng in the '.neighborly quarrels"
usual with their pale-faced brethren. 1t

tourists at the hotels at prices regulated
by the verdaucy of the sightseer.
Dressed, or rather undressed, in their
seemingly quaint costumes, they attract
immediate attention from the open
mouthed and wonder stricken tourist,
who laughs at and ridicules everything
he is not accustomed to see in his own
bailiwick. At the depot grounds, es-
pecially when the trains come in, the
fruit and pottery vendors assemble in
full force, and generally do land 0 flee
business in selling to the tourists.
The Indian maidens are dressed in
their brightest colors, and some of them
would be pretty if they did not daub their
faces with red paint. They are special
objects of mirthful interest to the ladies
on the trains, who criticise the scant
costumes of the Pueblo maidens very
narrowly. The Indian women no doubt
reserve their criticism of the sspaleface
squaws" until after they have sold their
fruits and wares
The Indian braves bring in bales of
chill and rushes on burros, or what are
called ''narrow gauge mules" Rushes
are used for light fires or for kindling.
The burros are invariably well loaded,
not only in weight but in bulk-only the
ears left sticking out. The chill and
PUSHES are compactly and securely baled,
and when loaded the head of the burro
is turned toward Albuquerque, he is
given kick, and he and the brave jog
along to the city. After disposing OF
his load the Indian mounts the burro
and rides back to the village.
Frequently the burro has an extra
passenger. The Indian maiden who has
disposed of her grapes accepts the hos
pitality of her lover and rides behind
him, weighing down and almost cover
