The Queen was once informed by
the manager of her Shaw farm that
Mr.. Elliott, Scottish farmer, was a
breeder of superior collie dogs, and
she thereupon expressed wish to
possess one of them. Accordingly,
Mr.. Elliott forwarded two beautiful
dogs, and her Majesty was so enrap-
tured with them that she gave orders
that the next time he came to the farm
he should Immediately be taken up to
the castle.
Mr.. Elliott was somewhat uneasy
as to how he should comport himself
in the presence of royalty, and the
manager spent a considerable time in
in putting him through his facings. At
last the fatal day arrived, aud he was
ushered into the presence of the
Queen.
Her Majesty shook hands with him,
and said:
''0h, Mr.. Elliott, have to thank
you for the two beautiful eollies you
sent mel"
And TO this gracious remark Mr..
Elliott replied:
"Touts, touts, wumman! hand yer
tongue! What's the matter o pair
dowgs between you and me?'-

Inoeulation From stings.

The interesting observations recent
ly recorded regarding the freedom
from the effects of mosquito bites and
bee stings which may be induced by
previous injuries of this kind, de-
mand word of notice. The idea inn
piled by this immunity is that previ-
Gus bites or stings inoculate the blood
with some principle or ''tcxin" de.
rived from the poison, which in its
turn protects the body from fresh at
tack. An analogy can be seen between
this naturally produced immunity and
that which is presented by the treat
ment of diphtheria with the antitoxin
of the disease. One writer told his
experiences to the effect that, being
beekeeper, he had never suffered from
stings after he hal been once very
severely stung by swarm. Prob
ably his system had become thoroughly
inoculated by the big dose of poison
he then received. OF mosquito bites
the same experience has been related.
But what will be of interest TO biolo-
gists is the recital of yet another cor
respondent, that such freedom from
mosquito stings is not invariably met
with as a consequence of frequent
bites. 1t is an illustration of law
have never been weary of pointing
out when unreasonable people have
argued that because process or treat
ment did not act invariably and in all
cases in the same way it was therefore
of no value at all The law l refer to
is that which teaches us that when we
are dealing with living beings we can
not expect to find mathematical GER
tainty in our results. Life is very
different thing, in all its variability,
from mathematical and exact calcula-
tions. London Illustrated News.

COSTLY cATERPILLARs.
How Massachusetts, Has spent s65O.Oo

How Massachusetts, Has spent sG5O,Ooo
Ia Its War ON the Gipsy Moth.
Professor L. o. Howard, the gov
ernment entomologist, has just re-
turned from Massachusetts,. where he
has been investigating the work of
determination carried ON by that state
against the gypsy moth. At the sug-
gestion Of Senator Lodge Of Massa-
chusetts clause was inserted in the
last appropriation for the entomology
cal divieion of the agricultural depart
ment for this investigation, q report
to lie made to Congress.
The caterpillars are at work now,
and DIR. Howard witnessed their
depredations and also the operations
against them by the state board of
agriculture. DIR. Howard says the
work in Massachusetts, is the most
interesting experiment in the entomo-
logical line which has ever been
attempted in this country and is with
ont doubt one of the most expensive.
Since 1890 $3.50, 900 has been appro-
priated for destroying the moth in
Massachusetts,, $3.50, 900 of this being
used this year.
The gypsy moth (porthetria dispar)
is from Europe and is supposed to
have been imported to this country
about twenty years ago by Leopold
Tionvelt, French entomologist. He
brought some of the eggs to expert
ment with silk worms in some direc-
tiop, and it is supposed these blew
out of his window. Since then they
have increased in such large numbers
and their depredations have been so
great on all sorts of vegetation that
steps were taken in 1889 to destroy
them. When first noticed the moth
began to work in an area of about
200 square miles in the vicinity of
Boston. Since the state board has
begun a crusade against them the
territory has been very largely re-
duce1.
The caterpillars are now full grown
aud are feeding on the vegetation.
They appear in large numbers and
when they have visited trees and
shrubs no foliage remains. The cat
erpillar is about two inches and a
half long. 1t devolves into chyrsa-
lis state from which the moth emerges.
They are distributed over the terri
tory by clinging to the garments of
persons, street cars and other moving
objects.
In winter the eggs are found on
trees, houses, fences and such other
stationary objects in large white
patches containing from 500 to 700.
They are sprayed with an oily prepa-
ra ion which kills them In May and
June the larvae are sprayed with a
mixture containing arsenic. The
trees ON which they are found are
bound with burlap band. The
larvae collect under these bands aud
are killed there. They are also exter-
minated in large numbers by clearing
up the woodland. Persons engaged
in the work go through the forests,
cut out the underbrush, and burn it,
Only the trees are left standing. In
/ this manner millions of the larve are
killed The female moth cannot fly,
owing to her heavy body, and is easily
killed on this account. The cater
pill ars have not appeared in any other
state but Massachusetts,. Washing
