A New Foe to American Trees.


Specimens of a strange caterpillar
discovered this spring on pear trees in
Cambridge, Mass, are pronounced by
Prof. Samuel Henshaw to be the gold
tail" or euproctis chrysorrhoea, hither-
to unknown as an inhabitant of this
country, although it is found locally
in England, and is abundant in central
and southern Europe" When numer-
Gus, these caterpillars are very de-
structive, feeding on such trees and
plants as the apple, pear, plum, haw-
thorn, bramble, elm, willow, beech,
oak, hazelnut and hornbeam. AT pres
ent the invaders in Massachusetts, are
said to be confined to a limited area in
Somerville and Cambridge. The first
specimens seem to have made their
appearance a year ago, and thus far
they have confined themselves to pear
and apple trees. How they got across
the ocean nobody apparently knows.
1t is suggested that 10y vigorous meas
ures they may be stamped out

vICTORIA'S REGAL RIGHT.
Why the Niece of William Nv. Was
Called to the Throne.

| why the Niece of William Nv. Was
| Called to the Throne.
Several newspapers, in explaining
to their readers how Queen Victoria
came to succeed William w., say it was
because she was his niece. That is the
truth, but only half the truth, for Will
liam Nv. had nephews and other nieces.
George Ills first, second, third and
fourth sons were respectively the prince
OF Wales, afterwards George ", who
died childless in 1890; Frederick, duke
of York, who died in 1927, also without
| children; William, duke of Clarence,
who died, William w., June 20, 1887,
| without lawful issue, and Edward, duke
OF Kent and Strathearn, and earl OF
Dublin, who died January %, 1920, aged
50, leaving as the sole issue of his mar
riage with Princess Victoria of Lem
ingen a baby daughter, now Queen Vic
toria. The queen succeeded William
~, not simply because she was his
niece, but because she was the only
child Of the brother next to him in
the order of succession. Had Queen
Victoria had brother, she would in
all probability not have been person
age of historical celebrity, save in the
contingency of succeeding him. Her
were tuOSe VndC O6EOlNeU on neI
from her father. At the time she sue
ceeded to the throne her uncles-the
dukes of Cumberland, of Sussex and
Cambridge were living, younger
brothers of her father and junior to
him in the line of succession in the or
der named. The duke of Cumberland
(who became king of Hanover on the
death of William IV.) was a man of
such despotic temper and principles
that all England cherished the Princess
Victoria as standing between it and
his succession to the throne. He had
lawful issue, as had the duke of Cam
bridge. The duke of Sussex, a most
estimable man, married twice, but
these unions being repugnant to the
provisions of the royal marriage act,
his children were barred from the line
of succession. From the revolution of
1858 rose the Jacobite party, made up
of those who supported the cause of
James H., his sons and descendants.
The picturesque modern Jacoibites do
not recognize Queen Victoria, despite
the fact that her succession is due to
her Stuart blood, for she is a direct
descendant of Elizabeth, daughter of
James l., to whose heirs the title to
the throne devolved by the act of set
tlement on the death of Anne.-Boston

Electric Light and Sailors Eyesigh

Owing to the intensity of the
electric light used on board of men
of-war, men are frequently affected
with eye complaints, which in some
cases have led to total blindness.
1t has been observed that eyes in
which the iris is not heavily charged
with pigments, that is to say, gray
and blue eyes, are most likely to
be injuriously affected than brown
eyes. These eye troubles are as.
cribed to two causes, viz, the inten.
sity of the light and the action of
the ultraviolet rays. Oculists REC
ommend the interposition between
the eye and any powerful light OF
a transparent substance which will
intercept the ultraviolet rays, such
az, for instance, uranium glass,
which is yellow. The French naval
authorities supply dark blue glasses
for the use of those men who have
to do with search lights, etc., and
the cases in which injury has been
caused to the eyes were those OF
men who had neglected to use these
spectacles. which, however do not
appear to afford any protection
against the ultraviolet rays
