Our Insect Friends and Foes.

According to Professor Panton, of the
Ontario Agricultural College, there are
nearly 100 species of insects that prey on
grain and forage crops; upward of 40 at
tack vegetables; no less than so menace
the grape; and five threaten the apple.
The pine has 1875 species as enemies; the
oak, 300; the elm, &c. the hickory, no;
the maple, rs; the beech, $50; while the
unfortunate willow battles against some
400 species of insect foes. Some idea
of the immense loss that is sustained by
the human race from insect pests may
be i'm agined from the fact that in 1884,
in the United States alone, the amount
IS estim ated to have been S400 600. 900,
but in 1891 it was $500, 100000, and,
thanks to the investigations of German
scientists, it is believed to be annually
decreasing 1t is not to be supposed,
however, that the fullest knowledge
available to man will suffice absolutely
to prevent these losses; but these
ton of them within smaller dimensions
becomes a matter of very great impor
lance. All insects are not our foes;
and Just what birds are most fond of
beneficial insects it would be interesting
to be informed. But we are somewhat
in the dark about this even yet. Prof
essor Panton gives list of few insects
which are our friends:
Surplus fly, trachina fly, tiger BEETLES,
ground beetles, lady birds, reduvius,
soldier bugs, lace winged flies, wasps,
cuckoo flies, and ichneumouus.
These insects are said to be of great
Importance in keeping the mischievous
species under, the ichneumons being
especially good at this business. They
prey en- certain grubs by depositing
eggs on their living bodies. When
these eggs hatch, the young worms
feed upon their host till the latter can
stand the strain no longer and forth
with dies. About this time the ich-
neumons are ready to fly as perfect
insects. It is no uncommon thing to
find upon tomato or tobacco plant one
of the largest green worms which infest
these plants, with dozen or so small
whitish thorns sticking into its hide.
These are the ichneumon eggs which
eventually kill the worm. Ladybirds
feed upon plant lice; ground beetles are
said to prey upon the potato beetle and
various kinds of caterpillars; while the
tiger beetle will eat almost anything in
The insect line.-Public Opinion.

Topeka, Oct 8.-An important de.
cision was handed down by the supreme
court involving the validity Of one SEQ
ton Of the prohibitOry law. The law Of
1889 conferred upon the police officers
the authority to enter any place were it
was thought liquor was being sold and
make arrests without warrant. Unaer
this section policemen have been in the
habitof entering places which had fallen
under suspicion and arrested whomeyer
they caught in apparent possession Of
this place. The court holds that this
section, in so far as it authorized the an
rest without a warrant for misdeamon-
ors not committed in view Of the Offic-
ers. is demonstrations and void.

Rumors About Prince Henry.

BERLIN, Oct. 9.-The Post issues a
statement in regard to the position Of
Prince Henry of Prussia, regarding
whom there have been many rumors to
the effect that he has come under the
displeasure of his brother, Emperor
William, and has been practically ban
ished from Germany. The Post says
that at has own wish, after the conclu-
sion Of the court fetes next spring,
Prince Henry viii 90 on a long tour in
Switzerland and Italy. He viii, how
ever, remain in the closest touch with
naval affairs. The arrangements made
for the distribution of honols in the navy
show that Prince HenTy's absence has
been for a long time antiCipated.

reports Of the killing in Jaekson's Hole
of Captain Smith and two comrades by
Bannock Indians. The federal authori-
ties here place no reliance ON the re-
port. Lieutenant Ladd, who is IN COM

plication for a rate Of 70 cents per 100
pounds on lumber from Minneapolis to

to adopt the same agreement for the
government of business westbound be-
tween these points as in effect east
bound. The eastbound agreement pro
vides for maintenance Of rates and the
redemption of all tickets found on the
market disturbing the situation.
Ali the western roads put a big open

and Others still to Come.
WUKEsBARRE, Oct. 9.-The bodies Of
the engineers and the boss, who were
killed in the explosion in the DOrance
mine last night, were recovered this
morning. "A party Of rescuers, headed by
Foreman Jones, vera the FIRST TO come
upon the bodies. the carpenter house
was fitted up as a temporary mOrgue,
and as the mangled remains were
brought to the surface they were laid
out init. The corpses were burned al
most beyond recognition. Fire Boss
Davis and Engineer Owens were literal
" roasted, and Cahll's body had a large
cash on the forehead, evidently from
the force Of the explosion. The men
were killed by the force Of the explosion
and all died nearly IN the same spot.
Up to 8 o'clock no more bodies had been
found and it is believed the list Of dead
will be confined to the following:
WILLIAM L. JONES, mining engineer,
aged p, Of Wiikesbarre.
WHLIAMCAHILL, mining engineer, aged
20, Wilkesbarre.
LEwELLYN OWeNs, engineer, aged "a,
PittstOn.
DANIEL i. DAVIS, fire boss, aged %.
MICHAEL MORRIS, Polander, aged 40
Robert Miller and Robert Blanchard,
two members of the engineering party
brought out Of the mine last night, aT8
still in a precaIiOus condition at the hos
pital The physicians fear their burns
and other injuries will prove fatal. The
other injured men brought out at the
same time, George Lappy and Joseph
Murphy, are on a fair way to recovery.
The question of which of the unfor-
tunate mining party set the gas on fire
viii never be known, as of the four men
who entered the abandoned workings
where the gas was encountered, not one
lives to tell the tale.

DALLAS, Tex, Oct. "a puzzling
turn was taken by Governor CuIberson
and bis administration Tuesday morn
ing which caused some surprise not only
at the headquarters Of the Florida Ath-
letic club, but among the people gener-
ally who heard Of it. It looks as if the
glove contest affair has reached the
war-to-the-knife stage so far as Cover
nor Culberson and Attorney General
Crane are CONCERNED. Attachment pa
pers were received by Sheriff Gable
from Austin TO be served on WK.
Wheelock, secretary Of the Florida Ath-
letic club; W a. Brady, manager Of J.
J. C0lbett; Martin Julien, manager Of
Bob FitzSimmons, and ice Yendig
These parties are summoned as wit
nesses before the Travis county grand
jury.
". A. Brady, accompanied by John
Farrell, arrived in the city at 8 a. m,
coming from San Antonio. They at
once proceeded 20 the headquarters Of
the Florida Athletic club, where Mr..
Brady met Mayor Waters and City At
torney Martin Of Hot Springs, who have
been here several days in consultation
with President Dan Stuart.
While Mr.. Brady was talking to the
Arkansas men, Sheriff Gable entered the
Office Of the club and announced that he
had attachments for W. K. WheelOck,
W. A. Brady, Martin Julien and joe
Vendig. TIE latter is the eastern rep
resentaive of the Florida Athletic club.

Martin Julien, accompanied by Ernest
Roeber, arrived at II a. m. and pro-

man to introduce himself to Julien was
Sheriff Cable. Julien also gave bond,
Mr.. Stuart's friends say that it is now
clear that the governor and the attorney
general are not SO fercely after prize
fighters as they are after Dan Stuart,
whom for political and other reasons
they have determined to crush, if there
is sufficient power in their positions.
The friends of Mr.. Stuart say that the
very fact that Stuart is not summoned
before the Travis grand jury shows that
his testimony is not desired, but rather
testimony against him.
They claim that the governor and at
torney general have trumped up an old
musty law which they hope to make
serve their purpose. It is article $50,
title IS, chapter 1, penal code Of Texas,
which provides that a conspiracy en-
tered into in this state for the purpose
Of committing any felony in any other
of the states OF territories Of the United
States or in any foreign territory, shall
be punished III the same manner as if
the conspiracy so entered into was tC
commit the offense in this state" The
penalty for such conspiracy under the
Texas code is confinement in the peni-
Tertiary for not less than two nor more
than five years" The question has
been asked: whats the matter with
the Dallas county juy?" The gov
ernor's action is regarded as harsh to an
extreme degree.

BREsLAU, Oct. 8.-HeTT Liebknecht,
in his inaugural speech at the opening
of the Socialist congress, referred to the
remarks recently made by Emperor
William Of Germany. saying that at
tempts had been made to vilify the So

"The highest authority in the land
