Moths,

DR.. Aldricks of Kentucky is an en-
thusiastic entomologist. When asked
for some information on the subject he
has made a specially of, he said: ''To
study the habits Of the moth family you
must live and grow up with them. The
finest varieties fly by night, and it is
with some difficulty that they are cap
tured The usual way is to go out with
hand net and a pot of stale beer,
sweetened with a quantity of molasses
or sugar. A dash Of this mixture on
the bark Of the tree, whose leaves the
moths feed upon, is the bait which lures
them to death. AS soon as they light the
net is sprung over them, and later Oh
they are asphyxiated by being dropped
in an etherized jar, after which they are
carefully mounted and labeled. I have
a house built especially for their prop
agation and filed with leaves of their
favorite tree. With the caterpillars

''I've been robbed! Some villain has

his hand into an inside breast pocket of

The Color of Animals.

There is a connection between the
color and character of animals AL
though much of the subject is yelled in
considerable obscurity, as a general rule
it may be stated that vivid, conspicu-
GUS coloring accompanies strength, cour-
age and often ferocity. The black or red
hair and the ruddy skin indicate carbon
or iron somewhat in excess, a sanguine
temperament rapidity Of thought and
action and courage frequently bordering
on rashness. In the brute creation it is
rather character that has modified color
in the course Of the survival of the fit
test The timid animal, bird Or fish pos
sessing the most neutral coloring lived
longest and left most offspring and SO
gradually the conspicuous members Of
the family were eliminated. This neu
trail coloring as well as color that
changes for protective purposes is the
external characteristic of shyness and
timidity, alertness Of sense, keenness Of
vision and scent and swiftness rather
than strength Of limb. Pittsburg Dis
