BOOK-iNyURIyG INSECT PESTS.

Willard Austen in The Popular Science Monthly.
A review Of the different families OF insects

them TO infest books and bindings will show them

Cheyletus eruditus. which. as we have seen 90
not come under the head Of insects, are pri-
marily carniVOrouS and their presence in books
may be due to the fact that they find there ami
NAL as well as vegetable food. This is certainly
true Of the book scorpion which feeds on mites,
book lice and other sman insects. The fsh
moths" or SILVER fish," the book lice and the
"coekroaehes' can have no other reason for IN
Testing books than their liking for farinaceouS

bindings and labels OF books. For this reason
the damage done by them is largely confined 10

only so much Of the book itself is injured a.

white ants" feed principally on wood. and in

A natural conclusion for one who has gone over

that the many persons that have been indus

those that have reported the finding OF isolated

The frequ ent use OF the terms genuine book

fact that the users OF these phrases approached
the subject with a preconceiyed idea Of the kind
OF creature they should find to account for The
rayageS only too apparent on scores OF volumes
which pass through the hands OF booksellers and
book keepers. To many the boring beetles
the only creatures which are rightfully called
bookworms. and in their search other book pests

PICTURES FROM "PLUS QUE REfNE.'

TWO FINE ACTORS IN A BADLY WRITTEN
PLAY.
So much has recently been printed in these
columns and elsewhere Of late in regard 10 the
Napolconic drama Plus Que Refine" which
is now current in Paris, that it Is likely that
readers Of The Tribune will be interested in
the pictures Of the leading characters which
are here given. This paper has already pup
lished an account OF the play from its own
correspondent, and has reproduced the criti-
csm OF it written by Sarcey-one OF the last
importan: criticisms from the pen Of that reso-
lutte leader of sound thought On the drama in
France. The pictures here given are OF Vi.
Coquelin as Napoleon and OF Nine. Jane Hadins
as Josephine. It seems to be generally agreed
that Napoleon is one Of the worst parts that
Coquelin ever played, whereas Nine. Hading
Josephine has much charm and Is the occasion
OF much fine acting. The play itself is said %
be decidedly deficient in dramatic elements ana
to be scarcely worthy OF the name Of play

Some time ago. while the gates were closed
at a railroad crossing in Munster an aristocratic
hunting dog. in the active pursuit of his yOCa

at that point simultaneously with an express
train. The train passed on unscathed. but
the dog had to be picked up with a sponge
In a suit by the owner to recover 500 dam
ages for the taking Off Of his blue blooded
pet. the railroad company claimed that ii had
performed its whole duty in shutting the gates,
and that if the dog so ill-mannered as to
climb over crawl under in the face OF such
manifest desire To exclude him. then the blame
was with his master The Court. however, held
that it was the duty Of the railroad to keep the
dog off its tracks. and appointed experts To
determine whether the barriers provided were
reasonably calculated to prevent the passags

defendant and. after n further reference TO
experts in canine pedigree to determine the

A COMPLICATED CALCULATION
Mrs. Twitters Wanted to De Exact,

men who find il necessary TO employ
'heir fingers AS an abacus in even the
