white spot on the hinder part of the
thorax. The beetles begin to appear
about the time peas are in blossom, and
when the young pods form the females
lay their eggs upon the surface without
attempting to insert them. The eggs
are deep yellow in color and are fastened
by some viscid fluid, which turns white
in drying Where the insects are abun-
dant single pod will be found to carry
as many as fifteen to twenty eggs, but
only one larva can develop in a single
pea. The newly hatched larva is deep
yellow in color, with black head, and
bores directly through the pod into the
nearest pea.
In the cut b represents the adult
beetle; 9, full grown larva; D, pup@ G.,
pea showing exit hole enlarged. The
natural size Of the insect in its various
stages is represented by the smaller
figures.
Sometimes many Of the beetles will
issue in the fall of the year, but as a
general rule they remain in the peas
, through the following winter, and many
are planted with seed peas. AS far as
Is known the insects on issuing will not
oviposit upon the dry peas, and sure
remedy will therefore be found in
keeping seed peas in close receptacle
over two seasons before planting. The
beetles will all issue at the customary
time, but will soon die. When it is
necessary to plant the first season the
entire lot of seed should be thrown into
water, when the "buggy" ones will float
and should be removed and destroyed.
Infested peas may also be disinfected by
placing them in a tight vessel with one
Of O number Of insecticides, among
which may be mentioned camphor,
chloroform, ether and bisulphide Of
carbon, the latter being cheapest and
most efficacious. There is an idea cur
rent that the larva while working in the
interior of the pea avoids the germ, and
that peas which have been eaten by
weevils are still available for seed. Care
full experiments conducted by Professor
Popenoe, of the Kansas station, appear
to practically settle the question, so that
it may be definitely said that weeviled
or buggy peas should not be planted.
The bean weevil resembles the pea
weevil in general appearance. The
adult beetle is shown at Fig. 2; the
main points of difference are in the alb.
sence of white markings. The general
color is tawny gray, with more or less
dull yellow, and it is somewhat
smaller than the pea weevil. In its life
history this species differs from the pea
weevil in two important points. Largely
ON account of its smaller size and the
greater size of the seed which it infests
a number of individuals will develop II
single bean. As many as twenty-eight
have thus been found feeding at once.
second point of difference, and one Of
great economic Importance, is that the
insects will continue breeding in
definitely in stored beans.

SCrapboolss.

There are few occupations more enter
tanning than the making Of scrapbook,
especially when the book is made up not
only Of pretty prints, but short stories,
odd bits Of information, humorous poetry,
etc. 1t is often difficult to fill up the cor.
ners of the different pages. There may be
something very pretty, or quaint, or anus
ing to fill up the best part of page, but
somehow it looks unfinished with nothing
but big things 1t is with pages Of scraps
as it is with single pictures. What makes
a picture really interesting Is not only the
chief figures or scene represented in it,
but also the way in which the details are
carried out. You grasp the main subject
Of picture very quickly, but it is only by
studying each little detail that you get
the full amount of pleasure out of it.
OF course it is like this with nearly
everything interesting and beautiful. Look
at flower in an offhand way, and you get
only the fleeting impression that a rose is
of a beautiful pink, dandelion of n clear
golden yellow, and bit of heather rough
ish little shrub. But study them, examine
them carefully, and the longer you go on
the more wonderful and lovely they will
appear. Now this same principle ought
to be observed in the making of a scrap
book. When you are not permitted to cut
out q paragraph or verse of poetry that at
tracts your fancy, copy them neatly to n
slip of paper and paste that in, or write on
the page itself if the paper is smooth
enough. If you can draw or paint you
might Illustrate, either in colors or by a
pen and ink sketch, some of the jokes.
Then there is another kind of story that
does beautifully for scrapbooks This is
the fable, or, in other words, that most de.
lightful story in which animals think and
act and talk as If they were human beings.
It's home is in the far east, and from times
immemorial the Arabs and Nubians and
Egyptians have been great artists in in
venting and telling fables.

some Effects of Absence of Light.

Effects of the absence of light upon ami.
NAL life were strikingly revealed not long
ago on the reopening of an old mine near
Bangor, Cal. In dry slope connecting
two shafts one of the explorers was aston.
ished and startled to find a number of flies
that were perfectly white except the eyes,
which were red, and directly afterward he
killed pure white rattlesnake. The ami
mails had lived in the dry passages, where
they had been supplied with air, but not
with light. 1t is supposed that the flies
were offsprings of some that had been i'm.
prisoned by the partial filling of the mine
with water about thirty years ago, and
that the snake, when quite young, had
been washed lown in rain. A few of the
flies were exposed to light in glass case,
and resumed the colors of ordinary house

FIG. 1.-THE BEAN MEEYIL,

The remedies for this insect are the
same as for the pea weevil, except that
keeping the imported seed over two
years in tight vessels will be of no avail
for the bean weevil. Careful expert
ments with bisulphide Of carbon show
that in this substance we have an
almost perfect remedy for both species.
The foregoing facts are gathered from
Insect Life, in which the illustrations
also appear.

What the Grass Does.


The grass so little has to do.
A spear of simple green,
With only butterflies TO brood
And bees to entertain,
And stir all day to pretty tunes
The breezes fetch along,
And hold the sunshine in its lap
And bow to everything,
And thread the dews all night like
pearls,
And make itself so fine
A duchess were too common
For such noticing;
And even when 1t dies, to pass
In odors SO divine
AS lovely spices gone to sleep.
Or amulets Of pine,
And then to dwell in sovereign barns.
And dream the day away
The grass so little has to do
Iwish | were the hay.
