The army worm is species of cater
pillar. 1t matches from an egg deposited
from the night-hying moth. Like the
moth, the caterpillar prefers the night
for labor and ordinarily remains quiet
during the day. The hot sun is dis
tasteful to the worms, and they die if
exposed to it for considerable time.
The moth that lays the eggs is nearly
one inch long and is one and three
quarters inches from tip to tip of wing.
The eggs are deposited in rows of from
fifteen to thirty near the roofs of grass
and grain where they will be protected.
More than 700 eggs have been found in
the body of moth when dissected. So
earnestly does the female work while
laying eggs that she dies after two nights
of hard labor. The worms hatch a week
OF ten days after the eggs are laid, the
time depending somewhat on the eli
mate. When their lives as caterpillars
are ended they burrow into the ground
and remain there until spring, when
they emerge as moths to lay eggs to pro-
duce more worms

SECRETARY CARLISLE said, Feb. u,
1878: 1.-The conspiracy which seems to
have been formed here and in Europe to
destroy by legislation and otherwise
from three sevenths to one-half of the
metallic money of the world, is the most
gigantic crime of this or any other age.

FIood Damage in Pennsylvania.

PIttsburg, July 27.-The Monongahe-
la and Allegheny valleys were flood
swept on Saturday. The two rivers were
twenty-five feet nine inches high at
Pittsburg in the evening, but the waters
have now receded. Every stream and
creek north of the Ohio and West of the
mountains twas out of its banks. In
western Pennsylvania alone the damage
will be hardly covered by 5000, 600.
In this city low lying districts were sub
merged Coal craft of all kinds broke
loose during the day, and much has
gone to the bottom.

The Republican papers are publishing
column after column of interviews with
bankers, brokers, railroad presidents and
miIlionaires who declare their intention
to bolt the Chicago convention and vote
for Mckinley. Bad as free silver is,
according to the Republican press, this
policy is likely to strengthen the white
metal cause. The fact is, the free silver
people don't want the support of the
brokers and railroad presidents and it
will be good news to them to learn that
they will bolt.

In the Republican national platform
of 1888 we find this declaration on the
money question: 1.-The Republican par
ty is in favor of both gold and silver as
money" Four years later the national
assemblage of that purity declared that:
1.-The American people, from tradition,
and interest, favor bimetallism and the
Republican party demands the use OF
both gold and silver as standard money.
