Strange Freak of Nature.


From some of the newer countries, So
called on account of the lack of definite
knowledge regarding them, reports OF
strange freaks and curiosities constantly
appear, and, as rule, they are laughed at
but once in while they turn out to De the
truth. 1t is this way with strange freak
of nature called the bulrush caterpillar
which is indigenous to New Zealand This
report, which stated that at certain sea-
sons large black caterpillar would bury
itself in the ground, and be converted into
the root of a bulrush, was laughed at
Ike the rest, but now an English scien-
list, who recently gave an exhaustive in
vestigation of the strange phenomenon,
stated that in many respects the state
ments are strictly true. From this report
1t has been learned that the caterpillar
grows to about three and one-half inches
long and when about to assume the chry-
sails state bu-ies itself in the ground and
in doing so 1t IS frequently infected by the
spores of some fungus, which becomes in
volved in the scales in it's neck. These the
larvae is unable to expeI, and the vege-
tation thus set up rapidly extends through
out the entire body, replacing each ami
NAL cell thus destroyed by vegetable mat
ter, and finally converting it into a COM
paratively dense vegetable structure,
which retains every detail of the body,
even to the legs, mandibles and minutest
claw. From the neck, the portion first in
fected, there then shoots up a single STEM
inches, resembling very closely the club
headed buirush in miniature. 1t has no
leaves. and IL the first stem be broken off
another rises in its place, though two
stems never grow simultaneously from the
same Caterpillar"

MIR. Boyd's Aspirations.

The facticnal difficulties in Baltimore
county between the wing of the republican
party controlled by Mr.. John I. Ensor and
that led by County Commissioner Biakeney
are still bitter, and Mr. Boyd is at present
accused OF trying TO carry water on both
shoulders. HIS chances of getting the

able nominee. it is improbable that he will

From the New York Times.
China's course in ordering the Monocacy
away from Shanghai may have been justi-
fable and even inevitable under interna-
tional laws as to the duties of a neutral
nation toward those of war but 1t Is &C
ton that will cause something very much
like CONSERVATION among the naval au-
thcrities at Washington and as for the
officers and crew Of the noble vessel. their
situation is one of really frightfui difficulty
Thirty-fve years ago the Monocacy could

edit those on board of her wanted to go
with as naughty a grace as anything of her
size af1oat, but she has been industrously
growing older since those days, and the
prospect of facing the attack of waves lar
ger than those raised by the passing OF a
harbor ting Is enough to make everybody
on the old ship turn pale.
When the Monocacy first went to the
As!atic station she thought nothing of an
occasional trip over to Japan, or from one
end of the China coast to the other, and
she made such journeys whenever occasion
for them arose. Then her officers noticed
ominoTs symptoms developing in her hull
and machinery, and they limited to the
Navy Department that perhaps it would
be judicious to keep her near the shore,
and preferably in smooth water. The hint
was taken. and for a long time the Mo-
nocacys active service consisted of an oc-

years remained carefully at anchor in the

THE .SUND4 Y Id ".

There appears to be an effort to
enforce the Sunday law. The Ga
zette has always been Of the opinion
that this law could be enforced, but
an honest effort has never been
made to try and convict offenders.
We trust, however, that this time 1t
will lie different.
1t is true that offenders have
been brough: before the court and
given the minimum penalty, but
the open violation of the law con-
tinued as if nothing had happened.
The fact Is that the average saloon
keeper is willing to pay an annual
fine of SIS for the privilege of doing
business on Sunday. If it is desir-
ed to enforce the law as it should
be, more vigorous methods will have
to be employed and heavier penal
ties inflicted.
The Gazette has often expressed
the wish that the Legislature would
repeal the Sunday law, but as that
body has refused to do SO, and the
law stands unrepealed, it is as much
the duty of the officers to enforce it
as it is their duty to see that other
laws are respected.
