DESCRIPTION OF THE BEETLE.

''The beetle measures over four
tenths of an inch in length, is of an
oval form, and of a brown color,
which is paler over four rows of
punctures on the sides, and some
times upon the sutral line. The
beak is rather short, broad and blunt.
The thoraX is smooth, elevated, trav-
ersed by three pale lines. Both it
and the wing-coyers are clothed
with short yellowish-brown hairs,
and upon the ridge of the latter are
arranged a number of black scale
tufts.
The egg is elongate-oval, about
twice as long as wide, pale yellow,
and smooth when first laid, but be
coming greenish-yellow, and rough
ened with hexagonal depressions,
before Matching. In most cases the
larva has Matched in about one week
from the time when the egg was laid.
The young larva is pale, with dark
head, but subsequently becomes
greenish with a distinct whitish
medio-dorsal line relieved by darker
shades each side. The body is deep
ly wrinkled with prominent sub
stimatal and ventral swelling, the
latter so well developed and SO exten-
sive that they perform. the functions
of prolegs, giving the larva its strong
resemblance to those of the sawflies,
and enabling it to easily crawl or
clasp the edge of leaf. When at
rest it clings sideways and in a
curved position to the leaf, usually
on the underside, grasping the leaf
hairs between the ventral swellings,
but especially in the transverse fold
of the anus, by which it can hold and
swing the whole body about

The pest is not easily reached by
insecticides, where these are prac'

that powdered pyrethrum mixed
with low grade -four, one pound OF
the powder to 10 of flour, and allowed
to stand in a tight cask or oehel
receptacle for "a hours and then
busted lightly over the fields, will
kill all of the worms that it touches
and not injure the clover. Rolling
the fields with heavy roller will

1. THE RABBIT
II. THE LION.
SHEEP FARMING IN AUsTRALIA.

New South Wales stands first of
all the Australian colonies as a sheep
breeding country, both as regards
the number of its hocks and the
number of sheep pastured per unit of
area. But whilst Victoria has
1v reached the limit of its natural
capabilities in this particular direc-
ton, a considerable proportion of its
area being 10Y devoted to agricul-
ture, New South wales has not yet
approached these limits. In Queens
land, as in South Australia, sheep
breeding does 10 absorb the atten-
ton of p~astoralists to the same
extent that it does IN New South
Wales. The former colony is more
adapted to the breeding of cattle;
whilst IN the southern and more
settled districts of South Australia
greater attention is paid to the
cultivation of cereals, its northern
territory, like that of Queensland,
being more adapted by nature to the
breeding OF cattle and horses. West
ern Australia is at present in the
early stage OF its colonization; much
OF its area is still unknown, and it is,
lL4PoSSlOIA ~ lO It's
future as a sheep-breeding country.
1t may, however. be surmised that
the southern portion of it's immense
territory will in time to come be
stocked with sheep, whilst the
northern portion will probably be
found more suitable for the breeding
of cattle and horses, on ccoun OF
its resemblance to portions of Queens
land and the northern territory of
South Australia situated under the
same latitude. 1t was thought at
nj time that cattle breeding would
occupy a position in New South
Wales equal to that of sheep-breed-
ing, but experience has shown that
the general climatic conditions are
more favorable to sheep than to
cattle, and the colony is probably
destined to remain, as it now is, the
great sheep-breeding center of
Australia.
The different degrees of success at.
tending sheep farming in different
parts of the country has long since
directed attention to the fact that
each part of Australia is not equally
fitted for the production OF fine
woods. New South Wales may be
divided climatically into four zones:
az The coast country, extending
from the seaboard to the main range,
the breadth of which varies from 20
to 100 miles; (2) the table-land dis
tricts on the summit of the range;
81 the upper part of the western
slopes; or a. the interior of the
"salt-bush country"

A YOUTHFUL RAILWAY M4GNArE.

Little Archie Crowley OF DcllwOOd,
Mimi, is probably the youngest rail-
way manager IN the world. Archie
is but seven years old. vet he controls
an entire electrical railroad. 1t is
true that the road is but One-tenth
of a mile in length, nevertheless it is
fitted out just as completely as any
road that is run by grown persons.
Archie is president, secretary, con-
ductor, brakeman and mOtOrman,
while his sisters and playmates are
the passengers The road was built
tor Archie by his father, who is a St.
Paul banker.
There are three cars on the road
one motor car and TWO passenger
cars. Each car is FIVE feet long and
two feet wide. 1t is not a trolly
road. Instead Of a trolly wire there
is a long strip OF iron which lies be-
tween the tracks and supplies the
electricity which makes the cars
move along. On the motor car is
the rheostat, which is an
ment for controlling the electric
current. BY using 1t Archie can
make his car mOv as fast or as
slow as he pleases. On this car also
are the motor and the brake, and
also the reversing switch which
makes the cars move backward.
At one end of the road is the
pOwer-house, where the electricity
is generated. The electric current
comes from a small dynamo which is
driven by a petroleum engine. There
is also a shed where the cars are
stored at night and in winter time.
In the power-house everything is ar
ranged just the same as If it were a
large station run by a regular com
Pany.
But Archie is the company in this
case. His road is on the hill by the
side of White Bear lake, and he is the
only boy in that region who is liable
to 90 coaSting in summer time. He
himself will tell you, the best of
all is that in this kind of coast
ing you do not have to walk
back up the hill. The electricity
pulls you up. Archie is very
proud Of his road, and spends the
days carrying his sisters and their
dolls along the road, He can stop
any place on the way, so he pretends
there are several stations, and his
sisters get out. Then he takes them
up again when he comes back, and
collects make-believe money from
them. They all have a verv good
time riding on the cars, and Archie IS
is learning a great deal about cleo
tricitv.- From the Milwaukee Sen

Engineers have estimated that the
total wa~ter-power OF Niagara Falls
is seven million horsepower. This
estimate, to be sue, is in the main
only a guess, but when the area
drained into the lakes above Lake
Ontario, and passing through the
Niagara river be considered, the
guess or estimate does not seem TO
be too large. The water surface OF
the Great Lakes above OntariOisS4.-
600 square miles, and the watershed
OF these lakes is 24O,O 600 square miles
NOR than twice the area of Great
Britain and Ireland. The total
length of shOre-line is 5000 miles,
while the volume of water is 5000
cubic miles, of which Lake Superior
contains almost One-half. The rate
of outflow at Buffalo is from 217,
900 to 275, 900 cubic feet per second,
while the fall of the cataract is 165
feet. The volume of water in the
lakes is such that it has been estim-
ated that even if no rain fell the flow
OF the river would be continued at
its present rate for one hundred
years-that is, if the lakes could be
gradually drained.
These are very large figures, but in
the main they are the results of exact
measurements The small water
powers in the world are uneven, and
are affected by floods aud droughts,
but this great power at Niagara is
as constant as anything in this
world can be, not ven the ice in the
severest and longest winter ever
known appreciably changing it. The
present plant is intended only to
utilize 125 900 horsepower, and the
turbines now in place are only for a
small part of this. Other turbine
wheels will be put in place as the de-
mand tor the power grows. The
general plan of the company con
templates the ultimate use OF $50,
600 horsepower on the American
side and a like amount in Canada.
Such a power would turn all the
wheels within a radius of FIVE hun
dred miles of the Falls. At the
present time a considerable part of
the power developed is to be taken
to Buffalo by electric transmission,
and it is the confident expectation OF
the electricians now at work on the
problem that the powerca be taken
as lar east as Albany, three hundred
miles away, and delivered there
cheaper than power a be generated
by burning coal. If this be so, then
all the country between Albany and
the Falls will be admirably adapted
for manufacturing, while the Erie

The Cream of Current Thought.

Public Opinion, published at Washing
ton, D. c., is a weekly journal devoted
to the reproduction, in condensed form,
of carefully selected magazine articles
and of editorial comment from the re-
preventative daily and weekly press of
all political parties, and from all parties
of the country. The reader of Public
Opinion gets all sides of every question.
1t is Just the paper that the farmer and
villager need for general reading. Itkeeps
its readers fully abreast of the times and
supplies them with the best thought of
the day in the fields of American Affairs,
Foreign Affairs, Sociology, Commerce,
Finance, Religion, Science, Education,
Art, and New Books. Public Opinion
and the rural weekly supplement each
other admirably. Together they give
the farmer or villager and his family
more OF current news, editorial comment,
and magazine literature than can be had
in any other way for five times their
cost. The price of Public Opinion has
been reduced from $500 to $3.50 per
year. We have the just completed ar
rangements by which we al offer the
Public Opinion and the CALIFORNIAN for
S3.75 lash per year.

There is a general impression that the
humidity of the air is greater in the
woods than in the open fields. This is
contradicted, however, by the result of
observations recently made in Germany.
1t was found there that the humidity,
both relative and absolute, was slightly
greater in the open thai in the woods.
and this was true equally in the morn
ing and in the afternoon.
AS to the temperature of the air
among the trees, it was a trife higher
than in the open in the morning, and in
a more marked degree in the afternoon.
