A.-Section of apple. showing work of the
larva of the Cooling Moth.
B.-Codling Moth.
Cocoon of the same.
The worn" so familiar to all is pro-
duced from an egg deposited upon the
apple by a small moth. This parent is
capable of laying from fifty to 100 eggs
and in almost all cases but a single one
is placed upon an apple. In this pro-
cess y rough place IN preferred, conse-
quently the eggs of the first brood (of
which later there are two or possibly
three each SEASON. are placed at the
elbow" end of the forming apple. This
occurs at the time the blossoms fall or
o after.
The manner and time of e~gg-laying
are very uniform habits with this in
sect and are all-important in the con-
sideration of remedies.
In the course OF a week the egg hatch
es and the young worm at once begins
to gnaw towards the core OF the apple.
The worm attains its growth while in
the fruit then leaves it to form the pupa.
Much wormy fruit will have fallen by
this time, but in any case the worm
seeks some protecting crevice in which
to pass the pupa state. None better is
afforded than the spaces between the
young bark and the old scales. Here
cocoons may be fond in great numbers.
Three o. four weeks are spent by the
worm in the fruit and two weeks at
least in the pupa, which remains sur
rounded by the white silken cocoon.
By the middle of June or possibly be-
fore a second brood of moths appear.
By July 1st these have visited the
apples and deposited eggs for a third
brood. The rough skin of the fruit
and the stem cavity now offer suitable
places for the deposition of eggs, and
here they are often placed. The history
OF this brood may differ from that OF
the other in this, that some OF the
moths may appear in August but most
OF them remain in pupas alternating
in the form to appear the following May.
REMEDIES.
The question now arises, "In which
OF the stages, namely, the egg, the CO.
coon or the moth may we attack this
pest and be reasonably sure of success ?"
The moths are almost never seen, 80
there is nothing to hope for here. Many
cocoons are found under scales of bark.
These may be destroyed and the egg
laying of many moths prevented. The
worms busily burrowed within as many

Barren and Desolate.

Il think the most desolate place on
the face OF the earth is the falkland
Islands, lying some $50 miles east OF
the coast OF Patagonia, said q gentle-
man who had travelled much recently.
these islands belong to England as a
matter OF course. What England wants
with them nobody knows. They are
about 300 in number, but only " are
OF considerable size. East Falkland
contains abolt 1900 square miles and
West Falkland ia half hat area. 1t
may he said to rain every day in the
year on this desoiate group. The sun
is scarcely ave- visible. Grain will nat
ripen and vegetables will not pro luce
seed. The principal industry Is the re-
pairing of vessels that have been DAM
aged In passing around Cape Horn, and
cattle and sheep raising. Two vegeta-
BILE productions Of the Falkland Islands
have long been a puzzle to naturaltsts.
These are the 'balsam bog and the 'tus-
sock grass The latter Is a reedlike
G. ass, which grows in tufts from six to
ten feet high. The leaves and stems
make excellent fodder. and the roots
have q rich flavor which makes them ir-
resistible TO h~erbivorous animals. The
tbalsam bog looks at a little distance like
great powders, sometimes eight to ten
feet across. These Jumps, which are
single plants, are quite hard, and some
OF them are doubtless many centuries
| old. Many Of these bloeklike plants
are covered with lichens, and bands OF
| grass grow in soil collected in the
crevices. The wood has a pleasant
aromatic odor that has never been put

Saved by Their Good Grin.

A thrilling incident occurred near st.
Clair, Pa, the other morning, involving
the lives of two men. When the morn
ing train from Shenandoah was ap-
preaching the ninety feet high trestle
OF the Pennsylvania Railroad, q mile
above this place, at a high rate of speed,
the engineer was Mortified at discover
ing two men ahead in the center of the
structure. 1t was too late to stop the
train, and as there Is but a single track
and no sidewalk the engineer, after re-
versing his engine, closed his eyes to
shut out the sight of two human beings
hurled into space. The train reached
the west side of the trestle before it
stopped. when the two men, supposed
to have been thrown into tho ravine be-
low, were seen walking along the
trestiing. They escaped death by hang
ing from the spans which the trains
passed oyer.-Philadelphia Record.
