NATURAL ENEMY OF THE SPIDER
The Ichneumon Fly of Ceylon and Its

The Ichneumon Fly of Ceylon and Its
Method of Reproduction.
4 writer quoted by Leisure Hour gives
an interesting account of the curious hab-
its of the ichneumon tiy of Ceylon, the
natural enemy of the spider. This insect
is green in color, and in form resembles
q wasp, with a marvelously thin waist

and then goes out on hunting expedi-
Jion. Its victims are invariably spiders
of various kinds, but all are subject to the
same mode of treatment. \ scientific
sting injects some poison which etfectu-
ally paralyZes the luckless spider, who is
then carried of TO the nest and there fast
ened with dab OF moist clay. Another
and another victim is brought TO this
chamber of horrors. Then the prescient
mother ichneumon fly proceeds to de-
posit her eggs, one i'll the body OF each
spider, which can just move its legs in a
vague, aimleSS manner, but can oIfer no
resistance. This done, the fly returns to
her work as mason. She prepares more
clay and builds up the entrance 10 this
CHASTITY cell. Then she commences a new
cell, which she furnishes in like manner.
and closes; then she adds yet another
cell, and so proceeds until her store of
eggs are all provided for, and her task in
life being accomplished she dies, leaving
her evil brood to hatch at leisure. In due
time these horrid little maggots come to
life and find themselves Graded in a
larder of fresh meat. Each poor spider
is still alive, and his juices afford nutri-
ment for the lchneumon-grub, until it is
ready TO pass into its chrysalis stage.

n Primitive System of DistiIlation
Carried On on the Balkan Slopes.
It is well known that the great center
OF the production of altar, or otto. of roses
occupies the northern portion Of the old
Turkish province of Roumelia. The
cultivation of roses for this purpose is.
however, limited to the southern slopes
OF the Great Balkans, as, according to the
Kew BUttettn, the flowers are nowhere
produced successfully on the north. The
distillation of the petals is carried on in a
very primitive manner with conner still
OF the simplest construction. The first
runnings are returned to the still. and
the second are received into glass TASKS.

to the top and avery small aperture at the
lower pointed end. This funnel is not more
than three-quarters ofan inch in diameter

commercial altar is transferred to flat
circular zinc receptacles known as ''cop-
pers," which are carefully sewed up in
white felt and sealed with the exporter's
stamp, the brand being also stenciled on
the felt outside. Two of these coppers,
one covered with the felt and the other
without, are contained i'll the Museums
of Economic Botany at Kew, and to these
Messrs. Pierre and Lubin have now
courteously added a specimen Of the pi-
petite or funnel for the purpose of making
the collection more complete.
As regards the Identification of the
plants cultivated for altar Of roses. it NAV
be useful TO mention that in 1874 the late
Daniel Hanbury, f. r. j., presented to
the Kew heroarium specimens OF "roses
cultivated on the slopes of the Balkans
for the production of altar Of roses" re-
ceived from Yice-Consul Dupuis of
Adrianople. These contained specimens
of two species, red rose ;R. Damarcend

Neither of these is known in a wild state.
and there can be little doubt that both are
hybrids between r. Gallica and X. Ca
dina.

WASHINGTON, June le.-The Coroner's
Jury investigating the Ford Theater
accident to-day brought in a verdict hold
ing Colonel f. c. Ainsworth, Contractor
Dant, Superintendent Covert and En-
gineer Sasse guilty of criminal negli-
gence.
1t was decided by Coroner Patterson
that Colonel f. C. Ainsworth should not
be summoned to appear as witness be-
fore the Coroner's Jury investigating the
cause of Ford's Theater disaster. AS
Colonel Ainsworth was not willing to
appear as an ordinary citizen, he thought
nothing could be gained by calling him
in an official capacity.
The testimony this morning was princi-
pally in reference to the character of the
material used by Contractor Dant in do
ing the work beneath the old theater
building. A witness testified to selling
Dant the best materials, but when shown
samples taken from the debris said they
were poor materials, and not the same as
sold. A builder named Clarkson testified
that the building as it now stands is in
dangerous condition.
Captain Thorpe, Chief of the Supply
Division of the War Department, was
called and questioned as to the bond
given by Dant. There was no bond, said
Captain Thorpe. one had been drawn up,
but Dant came to MIN and said the man
who was going on the boud was brick
contractor and he thought he ought not
10 go on it. Witness consulted with
f41r al a 1, ]
told to go on without bond. Witness
said he should certainly consider, as
superintendent, Covert should have re-
ported any danger in connection with
the building. Colonel Ainsworth, said
witness, was in charge of the building
and was responsible for it.
James A. Connor said Superintendent
Covert told him Colonel Ainsworth was
directly in charge of the work beneath
the building.
Five other witnesses testified, and then
the jury retired to consider it's verdict.
After being out two hours the jury re-
turned a verdict setting forth:
Frederick b. Lotus came to his death
by a.disaster at Ford's Theater building
on June 8, I893." They recite all the
circumstances connected with the acci-
dent, and find Frederick C. Ainsworth,
IN charge of the building; William G.
Covert, Superintendent; Francis Sasse.
engineer, and George w. Dant, contrac-
tor, responsible for the killing of Lotus.
The jurors further find that the failure
OF the Government of the United States to
provide for skilled superintendents for
work of repair and alteration of its build
lngs i'll charge of the War Department
most unbusinesslike and reprehensible,
and are of the opinion that if such super
lntendents had been provided the awful
tragedy might have been averted.
Coroner Patterson decided not to issue
warrants for the commitment of Colonel
Ainsworth, Dant, Covert and Sasse until
tomorrow morning. in order to give them
an opportunity of obtaining bail. Col
onel Ainsworth has already secured
bondsmen.
Contractor Dant is very i'll at his resi-
dence.

ADVANTAGES STATED.
What Good Roads Mean to Anv
Country.

W HdL OOOu hOaU5 Mean to AuV
Country.
[American Farmer.
A country without roads will remain
undevelOped, its hidden treasure stored
away. Where poor roads prevail everv-
thlng else IS very apt to be poor, the
horse, the farmer and merchant. If two
horses haul the load of four; one set of
harness haul the load of two; one driver
serve for two, and six miles instead of
three made an hour, the aggregate saw
ing would be double the net income of
the average farmer. This desideratum
can only be accomplished by the means
OF good public roads. The effect of good
public roads upon the land value is to in
crease the value of such lands. Expert
ence has shown that the value of ground
is in direct ratio to the good condition Of
the streets or roads which traverse them.
A road system is the means of facilitating
intercourse. Intercommunication is the
back6o Of business. Good public roads
are the primary necessities of civilized
life and national prosperity.
