variation in the shade of the fore
wing, and in it's markings. The hind
wings are pearly white, and trans
parent, margined with dusky, which
is heaviest at the apical end. The en-
tire under surface of the wings has
pearly lustre varying to fulvous.
On the abdomen below, are four pairs
of small black dots; the tip of the alb
domen, below, ends in a bunch of ru-
fous colored hair-like scales.
Natural History and Habits.-The
injury is done by this insect in its
larval or caterpiller stage. After
Matching from the egg, the larva S oo1,
begins to feed; during it's earlier
stages, it feeds mainly upon the
leaves, eating out the parenchyma in
long narrow grooves, parallel to the
margin of the leaf. AS the larva
grows rapidly, it soon begins to eat
along the margin Of the leaf, as pre-
vious1y mentioned. When ready to
pupate, it works an inch or so below
the surface of the soil, and there
makes small cavity or cell, cement
ing the sand together with a small
amount of silk. From one to two days
after this cell has been formed, the
change to the pupa occurs. This con-
dition lasts for about seven days, when
the adult appears.
There seems to be considerable reg
ularity as to the occurrence of broods
although larvae of various sizes may
be observed at the same time. But
these all seem to pupate within a
short time of each other, and a field
may be badly infested, and a week Ia
ter be quite free from them. The time
of the appearance of the adults of
brood during the summer appears to
be confined to a few days.
Natural Enemies = Fortunately
there are several natural enemies of
this insect which serve greatly to keep
it in check. In the field, large red
dish-brown wasp (Polistes bellico-
sus?) was frequently observed to de-
stroy these larvae. After catching a
worm, the wasp removed from the
skin the food in the alimentary canal
gradually working it forward and out
through a cut in the skin near the
head. The remaining portion was then
rolled up and chewed awhile with the
mandibles. This was possibly swal-
lowed, though the act was never OBJ
served.
There are several other species II |
wasps that attack these larvae. Much I
good work is also done by specie of
Tachina fly, an insect much reem7
bling the house fly, but larger. 'hesq
flies were bred from larvae plaed l1

bers. The maggot of the fly levou1s

Of Ssate-Newspaper Comment.
London, July 16.-The evening news
papers are in a rage over the reply of
Secretary Sherman to Lord Salisbury in

tations Of bad faith against England.
The half-penny journalsissue sensational
placards bearing such lines as Twisting

papers deal with the situation editorial
y. The Globe in an article headed
Yankee Insolence" says: "The memo
ries Of Cleveland's impertinent message

and insulting dispatch which Mr.. Sher-
man has permitted to find its way into

question, which fortunately is one for
the naturalists, the astonishing tone of
Mr.. Sherman is in defiance not only of
the usages of diplomacy but of. the
maxims of ordinary civiliv.

innate to Mr.. Mckinley that her ma
5esty's government declines to receive
dispatches couched in such language and
could only reply to the next by handing
Colonel Hay his passports the action

proval Of the nation"
Declares War Inevitable.
The Post takes a very serious view
OF the matter. 1t says: Every indica-
tion points to the certainty that Great
Britain will be compelled to fight for
her existence against the United States
as soon as an American government be-
ieves that war can be safely begun.
Our statesmen must search
their consciepces and make sure that
in any controversy that may be raised
their attitude is just and fair. They
should concede SO long as there is any
reasonable doubts concerning the JUS
tice of their position, but they must be
prepared for an appeal to force.
Our duty Is to make sure that
1t comes by no fault Of ours. and that
it shall find US united that
prepared. The respite will in all prob
ability be the time needed for the crea-
tion of more powerful American fleet
say three or four years-or for the
creation OF political combination with
some naval power-say in as many
months. The organisation to sustain
such contest may be short. The time
to face the situation is not in three
years or three months, but now"
Chronicle Censures Our Methods.
The Daily Chronicle thinks Lord
Salisbury would be justified in return
ing Secretary Sherman's dispatch on
the ground that the British govern
ment does not receive communications
couched in such terms If he does not,
It is because American diplomatists as
sumo certain liberty of language not
used by other countries. The Chronicle
proceeds tosevsrely censure the methods
OF American diplomacy and says: "The
fact that some nations, like ours, are
fortunate in being favored with the
presence of a diplomatist who is no less
a gentleman in public than in private
life is not sufficient to remove this SUR
and danger

Sherman Were Correct,

suggests That Recent MiSgfviugs About
Sherman Were Correct.
The Times. seemingly not knowing the
fact that probably President Mckinley
saw the dispatch before it was sent, re-
marks in an editorial: TT is impossible
to doubt the authenticity Of the docu-
ment. 1t Is manifest attempt, in offen-
sive language, to fasten upon England
a charge of bad faith. If this was not
Secretary Sherman's intention he has
shown himself singularly untitled for
the delicate and responsible duties of his
office. If 1t was, then the statement he
recently made repudiating the charge
of bad faith was deliberately mislead-
ing. When he was first appointed to his
present Office doubts were expressed as
to the wisdom Of the choice. II he really
sent this dispatch they will be fully con-
firmed." The writer then suggests that
the dispatch was published with the
connivance. if not the active aid, Of the
lingo senator's, who were under a solemn
obligation to treat it as confidential.
The Times in its financial article, re-
ferring to Sherman's communication,
says: Mr.. Sherman's dispatch Is not re-
garded seriously, but the fact that
American statesman-or rather politi-
cians-thirk it useful from time to time
to indulge in language of scarcely yelled
hostility will not pass unnoeiced. and

II is Titanic struggle, this war be
tween the Arbuckle Brothers, the largest
importers of coffee in the world, and the
Sugar Trust, which operates through the
Havemeyers. The Arbuckles have gone
into the sugar business and the Sugar
Trust has gone into the coffee business.
Green coffee for the year ended Sep
tenber l, 1896, declined six cents a
pound and roasted coffee declined three
cents. Since the proclaiming of the
coffee war a further decline of half a
cent has followed, and as the war goes
on further declines are expected which
will bring prices down all along the line
The result may be compromise and
a compound Sugar and Coffee Trust.
This sugar Trust is the concern about
which Judge Barrett, of New York, said
''can close every refinery at will, close
some and open others, limit. the pur-
chases of raw materials \ enchance
the price to enrich themselves and their
associates at the public expense, and de
press the price when necessary to crush
out foolhardy rival" After is was in
vestigated by the New York legislature
it reorganized into single corporation
with capital of s75,OOO,OOO, mostly
water, since the value of the plants was
fully covered by bonds to the amount OF
SO, 100000. Its profits amount to
something like s28, 900, 600 a year.
If the result of all such wars were not
either the ruin of one of the combatants
or the consolidation of the two, there
might be some reason to hope that con-
| sumels would be benefited. But ex-
perience teaches that they will reap only
temporary advantage with conditions
at last more buIdensome than before.
