Pedantic Flower Names.

The herbalists, in preparing sam
pies, were responsible for as many
flower names as lovers were In max
ing posies. Eyebright, feverfew,
fleabane are we'll enough, and so is
tutsan, that is, touto-saine, the coun-
tryman's name for It. Johns wort;
for, as Gerarde says, "Tho leves,
fiOures, and seeds STAMPED and put
into a glasse with ollie olive, and set
in the sunne for certain weekes, doth
make an ollie OF the colour of blood,
which is a most pretious remedy for
deep wounds, and those that are
thorow the body" All-heal, or
woundwort, however, is another
plant-Stachys palustris- useful for
stanching bleeding.
But the doctrine OF signatures,
whereby the fancicd resemblance OF
parts OF plants to organs in the hui
man body was held to indicate their
healing properties, produced some ug.
ly names. We prefer to call the
pretty spring flower hepatica, rather
than liver-wOrt, though both mean
the same thing, because the leaves
resemble the shape or the human
liver; the pulmonaria is a pleasanter
name than luug-wort.
Yet there is an aroma about the
old-world names which is wanting
in the pedantic precision Of Latin
classification. Howbeit 1t is not ev-
cry one who thinks so. Not long
since an enthusiast was showing a
sympathetic but inexpert friend the
glOries of his rock garden, and drew
his attention to the trailing of sprays
OF pretty creeper. 1T is very like

cred butterfly collections which num-
Der thousands of specimens and worth
thousands of dollars. There are many
of these collectors in New York, but
only one who breeds his own butter
flies. Jacob Doll is his name, and in
Brooklyn he has caterpillar farm.
While others are paying hundreds of
dollars for rare butterflies, Mr.. Doll
is receiving the tiny eggs at much
lower prices and rearing them until
they burst into gorgeous butterflies.
IAN egg" he said the other day at
the farm, standing amid the shrub
berry and wire cages under which were
thousands of caterpillars feeding,
g doesn't necessarily mean that
you are going to get n butterfly. You
are lucky if you get one out of ten
eggs. And it is mostly the fault of
the wretched little ichneumon fly.
This parasite, which is the everyday
wasp, stings its victim and leaves
some eggs in it's body. The cater
pillar goes on feeding, and after full
growth has been attained winds itself
in the cocoon exactly as it's fellows
do. But instead of beautiful but
terfly emerging there is nothing but
a mean little wasp.
There is another difficulty. The
eggs come from all parts of the world,
and the caterpillars want the food
their fathers ate. Very often they
won't touch any other and then they
die, as half the time you have no idea
what plant they feed on, and couldn't
get it if you did. But it often hap
pens that caterpillar from NADIA
gascar, say, will take kindly to one
of our native leaves. Sometimes you
think you have the right thing when
you haven't. They eat all right and
begin to grow. Then some morning
you find them all dead. The cater
pillars didn't dislike the plant till
they arrived at certain stage Of de-
velopment Then it was poison to
them l have dozens of different
plants, and upon every one of them
II different species Of caterpillar is

A Great Head.

a Great Heat.
A man with q head two feet one and
fve-eighths inches In circumference,
Is a curiosity, and when Moses Hall,
colored, of Owings Mills, walked into
the store OF G. B. Bates, recently, Mr.
Bales was not little surprised. At
first glance Halls head looked as II q
7s hat would fit it. That is an un-
usually large size, but when the hat
was tried on it was too small.
Then Mr.. Bate, betkought him elf
of an old Derby which he had in his
window of and on for over a year. with
a placard stating that 1t would be
given to any one It ould fit. Toe size
was X. which is the largest Mr.. Bates
had sold in all his ten years expert
ence.
After some search the hat was found
ana tried on, but to the disgust and as
tonishment Of the storekeeper it was
too small. 1t rested on the back of
Halls head as q 10 year-old boy hat
would rest on that an primary man.
Mr.. Bates then measured the mans
head and found that it would require
a hat OF SO size. That is twelve sizes
larger than the average hat worn by
man. baltimore American.

mid air, with a rushing mountain
stream hundreds of feet below, he
deftly swept the butterfly into his
net. 1t was well worth the perilous
descent, being the only one of its

The Indians took great interest in
the operations of the butterfly hunt
ers. They would ride long distance
out of their way to see what was
going on.
What doin'?" one of the blank
eted gentlemen would ask.
When told that they were after
butterflies the red man would turn
away with look of disgust. But in
variably he wheeled around again
and asked:

1t is not necessary to go long dis
tances for rare butterflies. The cleo
trio lights of New York City, with
their irresistible attraction for the
moths or night flies, have brought
many new varieties to the notice of
the collectors, and in the woods and
swampy ground of Long Island and
New Jersey fly is occasionally
caught which is worth much more
than its weight in gold. But il is al
most impossible to capture them
without a minute knowledge of their
time and manner OF fiying.a"

The foundations of this building
will consist of thirty-six iron cylln-

40 feet In length. These piles will
extend thirty feet below the bed OF
the ocean, and will be secured to
each other, according TO the claim of
the engineers, by girders, cross-brac-
Ing and in other ways, SO as to defy
the mightiest storm wave that ever
rolled in the Atlantic. After the
great tubes have been placed In posi-
tion they will be filled with concrete,
and the foundation, as a whole. will
represent three dozen iron-incased
pyramids OF rock, rising from depth
below the ocean bed and towering
thirty feet above the level of the sea.
In the construction Of the building
wood and other innammable material
will not be used, and the entire SUI
perstructure will consist OF bronze,
steel, iron. glass, and thing, thus
making il fire-prO0f in the fullest ac-

In order to secure themselves
against the charge of erecting a
menace to navigation, the promoters
of the enterprise have given notice to
the government that they will. bind
themselves to place a powerful re-
fiecting light in the main tower of
the building and maintain it the
year round.
The consideration Of creating a
building out in the sea opens up
peculiar line of thought. As the
structure will be situated more than
a marine league from the nearest
shore, the United States can exercise
no jurisdiction over it, either in the
sense of interference or protection.
Atalantis may become an independ-
ent power, with every right, accord
ing to international law, to form its
own government and to prescribe its
own laws. Thursday, June IA, the
flag of the New Atalantis was raised

Just last night" said Mr.. Doll,

couldn't catch some wood borers.
While these are net particularly
rare fly, they bring 81 or more apiece.
1t was z: 30 when we arrived at the
place and not borer was. to- be seen,
but all of a sudden at ten minutes to
8, they began their low and rapid
flight from bush to bush. W
I" I've got one. somebody shouted.
There was anotheri shout, and then
another, until we had. secured five.
But they stopped flying as Suddenly
as they began, ana by 8 o. clock it was
as il the insect never existed. This
is always the way. They feed for five
minutes or so at twilight, and for the
remainder of the time keep in hiding

my methods in catching butter
flies? Well, except for those that fly
rapidly bottle containing little
chloroform is best. You can put it
over the victim and brush him in
without the handling which net
often necessitates, and which Is so
disastrous to his beauty. The chic
reform soon puts him to sleep. Moths
are attracted by a lantern, the bigger
and brighter the better, and you can
bait them by spreading molasses on
the trunk OF a tree. The manner of
catching butterfly depends upon his
habits. These are carefully studied
by the successful collector. The late
Prof. Hahnel spent five years doing
this very thing along the banks Of the
Amazon. Noticing that the rare and
beautiful Morpphos fly above the tree
tops, he erected platforms twenty feet
high, and there, during the hours Of
flight, secured enough specimens TO
supply the collectors Of the world"

In the collection are many silk
spinners, which vary greatly In size
and beauty. There are members Of
the family gaudy with markings on
the wings which are almost perfect re-
presentations OF the human eye. But
these fine creatures are not the ones
that spin the silk OF commerce. 1t
is the smallest and meanest looking
of them all-little fellows, of dull,
white color-which makes their CO
coons of the long silk threads which
can be woven. The silk spinners
originally came from China, but
thrive wherever the mulberry can be
obtained.
Itwould be an endless task to de-
scribe half the strange denizens of
the butterfly world in the Doll collec-
tion. There are thousands of varie-
ties, and yet SO vast Is this insect
family that no one collector has
tenth part of the i whole number.
Furthermore, many, varieties. in ex-
istence are unknown. Every year
collectors find butterflies which they
are ut loss to classify. 1t is this
possibility of capturing insects which
are very rare or are complete strangers
that lends so potent charm to scien-
tific butterfly hunting.
Once while Mr.. Doll was engaged
in his pursuit in the Rocky Noun
tains a gorgeous butterfly fitted past
him and disappeared over precipice.

Cabling to Australia.

A telegraph message from New York
to Australia has to go nearly 10000
miles. OF this nearly 5000 miles is by
submarine cable. 1t takes some little
time to send message, as on its way
it has to be handled by fifteen operat-
ors at various stations, at each OF which
it has to be relaid, hence the time of
rewriting at each station aggregates
quite an item. The longest continu-
GUS submarine cables are the transat-
lantic cables, which are some 1900
miles long. The longest continuous
land line is not, as many suppose. in
America. Although there is direct
communication from New York to Cali
fornia, it is not over a continuous wire.
The longest land wire in the world is
across the continent of Australia. 1t
extends from Port Darw n to Adelaide,
