THE sTRANGEsr INSECT.
1t Is Half a Plant and Is Found in New
Zealand.

From the Boston Transcript.
The aweto. as the Maoris or natives of
New Zealand call IL, or Hipialis yirescens,
as naturalists term it.. is found in New
Zealand and is a vegetable caterpillar of
from three TO four inches in length, and
so far science has not been able TO say
whether IL is vegetable or an insect. 1t Is
always found at the foot OF large myrtle
trees that have beautiful red flowers on
their stems, and beautiful creeping Gle
matis as white as the snow. The Maoris
call this tree by the name OF rata. The
aweto huries itself among the roots of the
rata, few inches below the ground and
there lives until IL is full grown, when ii
undergoes a most wonderful change. The
spore OF a vegetable fungus. termed by
naturalsts Sophoeria Robertsi fastens it,

tween the head and the first ring and
then grows upwards TO the height cf
from six 10 eight inches. Many people
assert that there Is never more than one
stem, but such is not the case. for some
have been found with two stems. although
very rarely.
The stem shoots up out of the ground.

The state board Of equalization for the
assessment of railroad, bridge and
labors, and has adjourned until such
time as State Auditor Sebert can have
the multitude of intricate calculations
made and the values apportioned to the
several municipalities in proportion to
the number of miles of railroad and

ments of results can be made until 1t
is done 1t is estimated and approXi-
mately correct, that the increase in
valuation over the assessment OF 1894
will be 81, ,292, 40. The total valuation of
railroad. bridge and telegraph property
in the state as assessed by the board in

its neck How the caterpillar manages to
propagate its species no one can tell.
Usually the caterpillar becomes a chrys-
als, the chrysalis changes into a moth,
the moth lays eggs ana these eggs again
become catcrpllars, and so on without
stopping. Many reasons are given why
the plant shoots up from the back of the
neck of the aweto. one is that the aweto
has a Shiny substance oozing out from the
back of its neck, which, while the aweto
is boring at the foot of the rata tree for
its food, catches the seeds of the fungus
gins TO grow. When it has sucked all the
vegetable life out of the aweto it must
naturally die, for IT finds no further nour-
ishment. The aweto is often found in
larga nnmbCrS.

APPEAL FOR ASSISTANCE
Surrounding Towns Respond
Literally With Provisions
and Clothing.
FEW HOUSES LEFT STANDING.
A City of Tents Springs Up In the
Ruins OF the Awful Con-
flagration.

SPOKANE, WASH, Aug. 4.-sprague is
city of tents tonight But few houses
were left standing by the fire fend, and
nearly 1000 people are homeless. Every
available tent to be had in this city has
been sent to the stricken town, and the
hillside to the south of the city and away
from the still smoIdering ruins is dotted
with canvas houses. Many are, however,
without this shelter. Fifty coaches sent
down by the Northern Pacific are being
utilized for temporary domiciles.
The supply of provisions is far short OF
being sufficient to feed the sufferers, and
outside help is badly needed. Mayor San
derson has appealed to outside cities for
help, and a good supply of food and cloth
ing will reach Sprague by tomorrow from
surrounding towns.
The total loss by fire will reach 81, 250, 900
and possibly more. The Northern Pacific
loss is $3.50, 900. The inhabitants are stunned
with the blow that has been struck them,
and it is extremely doubtful if the town
will be again rebuilt.
