Her n1mperial Hiehneas., ;,

The Princess Eugenie Paleologue,
who was born in Malta and who is
married to an English officer, has for
some years past been endeavoring to
prove her claim to be the direct de-
scendant of Constantine Paleologos, the
last emperor of Byzantium. The docu-
ments establishing her prebensions were
laid some time back before the Russian
holy synod, which has now decided
that she has made out her claim. The
synod has appraised the princess that
her rights will henceforth be recognized
in Russia, and that the Russian gov
eminent will make her an annual pen
sion. In the letter making this an
nouncement the princess is styled ''im-
perial highness, and her son is re-
ferred to as the future protector OF
the glorious traditions of the Orthodox
byzantine emDire. "

ed the young caterpillars yield speedi
~ to arsenicals and the white cocoons
plainly show themselves for destruc-
tion. The caterpillars in a nest of or
binary size will consume 2,500 apple
leaves in week, and, as they feed fo1
five or six weeks, those from two OF
three nests may almost completely strip
a tree of its foliage and greatly lower
its vitality. They seem to prefer the
taste of wild cherry, and this tree was
probably their original food plant. All
such trees should be carefully watched,
as they are liable to be starting points
for the invasion of nearby orchards.
Next to the wild cherry the caterpillars
seek the apple, but they also do con
siderable damage upon cherry, plum
and peach.
From late July until the following
spring the insects will be found in the
egg. These eggs are laid in peculiar
rings or bands-"t himbles' or "cater-
pillar belts, :" some call them-about the
smaller twigs. They are covered with
a thick layer of glue, Which makes a
pIObCCUlOn l1OAl Du0 WCdNnC1
These bands are large enough to be
plainly seen and can be easily removed
and burned when pruning the trees.
The little caterpillars form in the eggs
in the summer, but do not hatch until
the middle or last of the following
April They soon begin the construction
of the we'll known nests. These are
usually placed in some crotch of twigs
near the abandoned egg band and are
formed by the threads of silk which the
caterpillars spin. AS the larvae grow
and the nest becomes too small another
sheet of threads is spun. so that the
tent is really succession Of nests, one
outside the other. These white or yell
lowish masses of silk are easily destroy
ed by burning on the tree or by cutting
off. the twig and crushing the nest.
This should be done in the evening or
just before storm, when the caterpil-
lars have sought shelter.
The caterpillars feed until late in
May. Their body color is black. but
prominent white stripe extends the full
length Of the back. ''s'-='''~'>S-,,.--
There are also numerous shorter ir-
regular white lines and row of. oval

in: "No. they are not sisters. they are

when there was company: "Look. mama,

A Big Snowfall.

The heaviest fall of snow that ever
took place in England occurred in 1915.
The snow commenced falling on the
18th of January, 1915, and continued
every day until the 10Th Of March fol
lowing. 1t covered the earth to such
depth that passengers, both horse
and foot, passed over gates, hedges and
walls, which had been obliterated by
the white sheet. On the 10Th of March
it began to decrease and so by little
and little consumed and wasted away
till the 2Sth of May, for then all the
heaps and drifts had disappeared ex-
cept one upon Kinder scout, which lay
until Whitsun week.
A heavy fall occurred in Scotland In
1920, the snow falling Is days and
nights with little or no intermission.
One of the heaviest falls on single
day occurred on the 21st-of February,
1862, the snow in some places being
from 10 to II feet deep.
