The eircling years bring joy and woe.

Caterpillar Annihiiation.

\ novel experiment has been success
fully tried for the annihilation of cater
pillars in the Siiesian forests. Electric

parts of the forest, and the strong light
emitted at night attracted butterflies in
great numbers. Coming near the ap-
paratus they were Immediately killed
by the shock, since no glass protected
the carbon. The number of insects dis

thousands of dead butterflies of differ
ent species were found on the ground

CHARGED WITH MURDER,
A Wife Accused of Poisoning Her
Husband.


A tragedy near Whitney Point twenty
one miles north of Binghamton. n. Y, has
caused intense excitement in that village.
Fillmore Thurston died at his home, in
the town of Barker. Friday morning. with
every symptom of arsenical and strychniae
poisoning. His wife, Eliza, was arrested q
few hours later charged with murder in the
first degree. She Was taken to Bingham
ton and lodged in Jail.
Mrs. Thurston went to Whitney Point on
October 80 and purchased arsenic, which
husband was taken Ill about this time and
gradually he grew worse. Mrs. Thurst on
again visited Whitney Point about a week
ago. She said the arsenic did not do the
work, and this time she bought strychnine.
A physician was called to attend Mr..
Thurston the next Sunday night. The in
valids symptoms aroused the doctors sus-
picions, and consultation Of physicians
was held.
Mrs. Thurston. in telling of his condition,
gave an accurate diagnosis of a case of
strychnine poisoning, and District Attorney
Painter advised that Mrs. Thurston be ar
rested on charge of attempting murder.
warrant was issued, and constable
started for Thurstons house. On his way
there he was Informed that Thurston was
dead. He returned to Whitney Point, where
District Attorney Painter made out papers
charging the woman with murder, and she
was arrested.
Mrs. Thurston tells several contradictory
stories regarding the use she made Of the
poison. She Is about forty years old, and
has always resided in the vicinity. The
ThurstonS had no children and very little
property. Neither of them received much
educ alton.
Mrs. Thurston is a frail woman, and not
strong minded. The Thurstons did not live
happily together and quarreled frequently.

Public Interest in the Subject.

THE office has published directions for
building improved roads. compilation of
road laws, Information regarding road ma
terial and transportation rates for the
same, the proceedings of road conven TONS
and much other useful information for free
distribution among the people. 1t Is pro-
posed during the coming year to secure the
coop Grafton of agricultural colleges and ex-
pertinent stations in the oojec.-esson meth
cd of disseminating this Information. They
will be taught to construct model roads on
the farms of their experiment stations or on
their college grounds, where they can be
regularly used, and thus become a lesson
to all the farmers who visit them. Public
interest in the whole subject of road i'm
provement has become thoroughly aroused,
and feeling of great hopefulness has been
developed The usefulness of a central
gcod-roads propaganda such as this Office
affords has been amply illustrated"
Quarters for the Weather Bureau.
The question Of providing house accom-
modations for the department is treated by
Secretary Morton as follows: "It is sug-
gested that the weather bureau could be
furnished with commodious offices and
apartments in the top story Of the new
post Office building in the city of Wash
ington, and upon the roof of the same
edifce the exposure of all the Instruments
used in taking meteorological observations
could be advantageously made while q
small part of the basement of the same
building, set apart for the printing office
and presses whence the daily weather
maps are issued. would complete a most
desirable domicile for that bureau. Such
a transfer having been made from it's pres
ent location, the weather bureau buildings
and grounds at the corner Of oath and NJ
Streets in the city of Washington, could
be converted into cash and would bring
something like $2000O0 or $30O,O00. This
sum, added to the 81 300, 900 which has been
saved and covered into the treasury from
appropriations for the Department of Agri-
culture for the fiscal years 1873, 1894 and
1885, makes 100000, which, invested in
building constructed purposely for the
Department of Agriculture, would afford
in compact form sufficient accommoda lions
and bring them in daily communication
with each other. Under the present system
Of renting rents now amounting for this
department to $500 year, the expenses
are increasing. and the necessity of hav-
ing all the divisions and bureaus, especially
those of a scientific character, brought to-
gether, is becoming more and more OBJ
viouS. In view of these facts, If the De-
partment Of Agriculture is to be domciled,
as every other department is, in a building
proportioned to the value and magnitude
of the interests which it conserves, it is
suggested that an appropriation for the
construction of an edifice for the Depart
ment of Agriculture must be made in the
very near future"
