SHAKING Ur, THE PHILL1Es.
Five Men Said to BE Slated for Re.

lease.
Rumors that the owners of the Philadel-
phia club yesterday decided upon a hard
shake-up in their team. and that five men
have been marked for release-Hallman,
Sullivan, McGill, CaFsey and Turner-have
foated in this direction from Philadelphia.
The reason assigned for letting the first
four go is that they persist in violating the
clubs rules. These refer to keeping in good
enough physical copdition to play winning
ball. Turner refuses to take instructions
about playing the outfeld, and the man.
agement has grown tired trying to teach
him. =.
According to the rumored plans, Capt
Nash is to start Sunday on tour Of the
minor league circuits and secure the best
youngsters available. They are to be ship
ped here and put into harness at once. The
club has given up all thought Of winning
the pennant this year, since it cannot get
mar OF ITS men to play to win games in
stead of trying to make individual records
The supposed idea is TO break In the young
sters this season, SO they will be in good
form to start next year.
Nash will probably give up playing and
devote all his time to managing the team
Cross is to be placed permanently at third
and Hulen at snort. Hallman will be re-
placed at second by rev man.
Brouthers intends to retire from base ball
at the end of the seasY. SO he will not be
disturbed unless he II ses in his batting,
but Nash's instructions to get a new
first baseman, and he is said to have his
eye on Carey of Syracuse, Who was with
Baltimore last year.
Several young pitchers, 1t is said, are to
be signed and broken in at once, Taylor,
Orth and Lucid in the meantime taking
their regular turns in the box. Clements
and Grady will be retained and will
Boyle, unless he is traded off on scme deal.
Thompson and Delehanty will remain In
the outfield and a new outfielder will be
added. The club tried to get Dexter of
Louisville last week, but Manager McGun-
nigle would enter into only one proposition
and that was to trade for Cross, which was
not agreed to.
A number of deals are and 1t is likely
that instead Of being released outright,
Hallman, Sullivan, Turner. Carsey and Nc
Gill will be disposed of in trades inside Of
q fortnight.

Most Singular Thing About
Him Is His Tongue.

Here is without doubt the strangest,
most undesirable, most contradictory
creature in the animal kingdom
He is not particularly grotesque in
appearance. He is not eccentric or fas-
tidious in the matter of food. He makes
no strange or tinearthly noises to voice
his emotions.
But all the scientists in the world
have given up trying to put him in any
one animal family.
To the traders in animals he is known
for convenience as kinkajou. But he
has other names to sign to his articles
like potto, manaviri, guchumbi, think
and, to have an English title, a honey
bear, or Mexican weasel. In Latin he is
viverra candivolvula.
It is seldom that a kinkajou finds his

1t is a peculiar fact that the Tussock
moth is much more frequently found in
cities than in the country. Those fa7
iniliar with the subject say that the rea-
son for this is that while in the country
there are many birds, such as robins,
orioles and cuckoos, which devour the.
moths, such birds are scarce in the city;
and as sparrows will not eat these
moths, they thrive, unless killed by
spraying.
In speaking further of the Tussock
moth, Prof. Collins said: "The egg of
the Tussock moth is deposited on trees,
and around tree boxes and guards, on
fences, on buildings and their append
ages, tnd generally in any partially con-
cealed place.
"The Tussock moth is the prevailing
pest in most cities. 1t should be pro-
ceeded against Immediately. The elm
leaf beetles, the scourge of our elm trees,
are now in the egg and beginning to
hatch, and immediate action is neces-
E;,ry to destroy them. These insects
aud others may be completely exter-
minated by united action, but if they
are allowed to increase un6heckedi they
will overrun the entire country, and

ural larval state, will crawl up and
down the tallest trees and over the
sidewalks, along fences and high build
ings. The male of this insect is winged
and can fly anywhere. The female, be-
ing wingless, cannot fly; neither can
She crawl any more than to creep out
OF the cocoon to deposit her eggs. Sud-
den and severe storms occurring soon
after the cocoons of the Tussock moth
are formed destroy many of them, but
such storms cannot be counted on, and
again when is taken into considera-
ton the fact that single female lays
as high as 600 eggs, the vast number
produced each year may be imagined

tcorvRIour. 1861

tcoPYRIaIIT, 1851
In his laboratory in the city of Brook.
Ign learned entomologist is watching
little fluffy wool-lille bunch literally
bespangled with white and gray sub
stances, which when the sunlight
streams on them sparkle and scintillate
like gems.
He not only watches by day, but when
the shadows deepen lights his studio
lamp and places the substances on
microscopical slide and subjects them
to the closest scrutiny. He hovers over
them with the solicitude of a mother
over the cradle of her first born. Yet
here the simile ceases, for this savant
sacrifices his days and nights, not to
save, but that he may be the instru-
ment to work destruction of the en-
bryo life. His vigil, perhaps, more re-
sembles the solicitude of the death
watch of a condemned murderer whose
guards fear he will cheat the gallows.
Yet although he Is waiting to COM
pass the death of the life he ushers
into the world with so much care, he
will signalize its appearance with ap.
parent joy, and news of the birth will
be flashed from Gotham to the Colder
Gate. AS when an heir to throne is
born in some European country, the
telegraph will carry the announcement
far and wide. Yet that natal message
will be death warrant.
The entomologist is Prof. Lewis Col
Inns, and he holds the responsible office
of secretary of the Tree Planting socie-
ty of Brooklyn. The fluffy-looking
stuff is the cocoon, and the white and
gray crystals are the eggs Of the Tus@
sock moth, dreaded throughout the
United States as the worm that feeds
upon and destroys the foliage of trees.
These insects are known to scientific
men as the orgyia leucostignia, but are
more frequently alluded to by women
as those horrid little yellow caterpil-
lars"
Prof Collins keeps his cocoons under
a glass case in a window, where the
sun can warm and develop them. At
the first indication of life the members
of the society in Brooklyn and other
