ABOUT INSECTS.

The Minneapolis Journal discuss
es the subject of Friends and Foes
in insects in way that will inter
est Washington people;
"Some people have an idea that
money is spent uselessly at agri-
cultural experiment stations invest
igating the habits and disposition
of bugs. But the entomology is
one Of the most useful of sciences,
and its development and applica-
ton in recent years have proven
it's value, not only to the farmer
but to the whole population depend
ent upon the farmers crops for
bread.
"There are insects and insects.
Some of them are very good and
valuable to man because they prey
upon other insects which are very
injurious to man. In Pennsylvania
and some other states the legisla-
lures have so appreciated the i'm
portance of insects as factors of evil
to cereals and fruits that they have
passed laws preventing the slaughter
of birds which eat harmful insects.
Over 100 species of insects destroy
grain. About SOC always attack
ing vegetables, and from 30 to Is
attack grapes and FRUITS. The var
ious trees have powerful insect en-
emies. The willow, for instance,
fights some 400 enemies; the oak,
300; the elm, 80. In this country
the loss through insects some years
has been from $30O,O00,000 to $780,
100000. The chinch bug has des
troyed, some years, $75,OOO,O0O of
grain. Twenty years ago this coun-
try lost 1856, 100000 oy the grass
hopper. The indiscriminate slaugh
ter of birds is a boon to many pre-
datory insects. A law should be
passed absolutely forbidding the
killing Of certain birds. When the
birds are killed off the insects -four
ish. And many insects befriend
the farmer and protect his crops.
The agricultural experiment station
in this state is doing a good work
in cultIvating the acquaintance of
the helpful insects which attack
and destroy the predatory varieties.
1t is a most useful work. In a few
years such advance will have been
made in this study that an insect
plague will be made impossible by
turning loose upon the pre- datory
horde their hereditary foes"

STREET RAILROADS N GLASGOW.

A wcek ago we printed and invited es-
pecial attention TO a letter from our regular Lon
don correspondent. in which some account WAS
given Of the municipal street railroad system
Of Glasgow We showed the superiority OF that
system over any existing here in various I'M
portant respects, chief among which was the
welfare Of the passengers. Every passenger
as we then pointed out. is provided with a
seat. and the rate Of fare IS only one cent a
half.mile which means probably less than half
the average rate existing in New York. And
there is no Disagreement Of the ears with adyer-
Using signs for the sake Of adding to the IN
come. No doubt the average New-York rail
road manager would say such a system couid
not possibly be maintained here, and that any
company attempting it would be BANKRUPT
within a year. Probably the average patron
or victim-of our local transportation lines
thinks the same IT, in his misery, he ever has
heart TO think at all. To pay high rates OF fare
for the privilege of standing up in overcrowded
cars is meeily accepted the inevitable lot
OF man
Well let us see II Il Is necessary. Here is Inc
first annual report Of the committee in charge
Of the Glasgow Municipal Tramways. just come
to hand. Ii covers the first eleven months Of
opcration, from July i, 1894, TO May 81, 1893
During that period the road suffered the enor-
nous difficulties and expenses incidental to
starting a new enterprise. About thirtytwo
miles If road have been in operation. The
mileage run has been nearly 100000. and the
number OF passengers carried more than J1lO0-
900 The total revenue has been Sl.l320O0
and the expenditures $l0ll,oOO. showing bal
ance TO the good Of Sl21.o00 OF this latter

The ROYALTY hitherto paid by the private cor
noration operating the lines, based on the earn

the year and certain rules Tor the dement, OF

the object of the water supply system Of New

Incidental result. and one which offers an adj
ditional argument in favor Of the system.
There may be some who Will object 10 such Il

the religion of Mumbo Jumbo. IT Is not III the

TO rather than in accord with Socialism But II
is properly TO be regarded merely as a matter OF

may adopt or reject at will. 1t may not be eXpe-
dent or desirable to adopt it here. but the
strongest. and indeed. the only enurely con-
vinclng. argument against such adoption would
he for the existing corporations to give 'hls
city as good terms and this public as sood serV-

the Academic although nearly two hundred
years older having been founded by Cardinal de

The latter comprises no less than five separate
academies, namely the Academic FRANCHISE. the
Academic des Beaux Arts, the Academic des
Sciences. Morales eft Politiques. and the Academic
des Inscriptions ct Belize Lettres. To be a

The smuggler no doubt often considers himself
respectable and would not like to be told that he
Is a thief and a rascal. But he is. He may be a
millionaire brewer. the secretary Of a trust
company or the representative Of foreign lace
house; persons Of this sort have lately been
caught in the attempt to defraud the revenue.
They were all surprised that their respectable
positions and pretensions afforded them no pro-
lection There is no for relaxing the eX-
IRENE rigor of the law in any Of these or similar
cases The principle should be affirmed and vim
dicated that crime against the revenue Is the
same as a crime against an individual 1t Is as
heinous to pick Uncle Sans pocket as 1t is to
relieve a private one OF ts purse. Smugglers
great and little OF botn sexes and Of all the
varieties known. may derive some moral refresh
ment from the reminder that they are thieves
and rascals one and all and entitled TO the need
appointed to such. The cases mentioned invite
exemplary punishment and will no doubt receive
it. II the denquents were mulcted In all pc
cuniary penalties prescribed by statute and set
to breaking stone in the Penitentiary for few
months it might discourage imitation Of their
practices. But 1t would not entirely extirpate
IT, The knave is as constant social factor as
the fool and will lease to be heard from. at
the receipt of customs as elsewhere.
