THE srREEr OF HELL.

One OF the Most Famous OF the His
torio Thoroughfares OF Paris.
One OF the most interesting and his
toric streets OF Paris, the Rue Denfert-
Rochereau, formerly Rue d'Enfer, is
being Quilted for the tunnel which is to
unite the Sceaux railway with the new
station i'm the Rue Gay-Lussac, near
the Luxembourg gardens. In the days
OF the Romans the place might have
been called Thompson avenue or
Corpse road, for many bodies were
buried there. Only few years ago
twenty-five tombs, containing bones
and Gallo Roman funeral urns, were
discovered during some excavations
made at the three cross roads formed
by the Rue d Enter, the Boulevard st.
Michel. In another spot close by a
collection of urns of the sumo kind
were dug up and sent to the Carnava.

After the decline OF paganism the
Christians regarded the locality as
haunted, and placed it under the pat.

Bacchus, the Italian god OF the vine,
who was known to the Greeks as
Dionysius, had many priestesses
whose duties were to beg for good
grape crops. These priestesses were
treated with great consideration and
kindness, especially when the vine was
productive, for which they were sup
posed to be responsible. Bacchus
was very popular god. He was the
son of the Jupiter and Semele, the
daughter OF Cadmus.
During the latter days OF Roman
paganism Vestawas probably the most
popular goddess OF the empire. A
temple was erected to her in the
eternal city, upon an altar in which q
constant fire was kept burning.
This fire was attended by women as

AMAZING EATING POWERS.
Astonishing Voracity OF a Peculiar
Species Of Caterpillar.

Astonishing Voraoity OF Peculiar
Species OF Caterpillar.
L. Trouvelot tells us of the aston
ishing voracity of species OF cater
pillar, Polyphemus, and some curious
experiments made by him in ascer-
tanning the amount of food consum.
ed and it's relation to the grub's
growth and extraordinary develop
ment. When the young was first
Matched it weighed but one-twentieth
OF a grain; when ten days old this
weight had increased to a half grain,
or ten times the original weight; at
twenty days old the weight had in
creased to three full grains, or sixty
times it weight at the moment it
left the egg. When the creature was a
month old it weighed thirty-one grains
or $50 times the amount OF the first
weighing, and at the expiration OF
ten more days it had again al
most trebled in weight show
ing q full ninety grains OF av-
oirdupois of 1900 times the original
weight. At the fifty-sixth day the
worm had attained its full size and
now weighed 207 grains, 4,14O times
Cne dHlOuHU VI Ju6 Orlpildl one
twentieth grain weight. If a mans
adult weight was 1000 times that OF
the average weight at birth his
twenty-frst birthday would find him
carrying around somethingl like twenty
tons of surplus flesh. But this won
derful increase in weight and the
curious calculations that can be
deducted therefrom are not more re-
markable than the food-consuming
powers of such creatures. When the
worm is thirty days old it has con.
sumed about ninenty grains of solid
food, but before this time has doubled
itself, or at the end OF fifty-six days.
when the worm is full grown it has
consumed not less than thirty leaves,
weighing three-fourths OF a pound.
Thus it will be seen that the food
consumed by such creatures before
they reach "their majority" equals
the original weight OF the caterpillar
at least $4,000 times. as
