COLONEL LANNAN'S DELUSIoN

Colonel P. Henry Lannan, the widely
known, has 'em again. Since his recent
bargain with Mark Hanna and the sub
sequent declaration of the Salt Lake
Tribune that silver is dead, the colonel
has been seeing things at night. They
appear in his paper the next morning.
The most recent of these visions is a
pipe-dream, in which the colonel saw
one of The Herald company's stockhold-
ers buying all the printing plants in
Utah.
We fear the coloneTs seance with
Mark Hanna has made him morbid on
the sale of newspapers. If the colonel
ever reads, he may recall Mr.. Dick of
"Copperfeld" fame. Let him beware
Mr.. Dicks fate or the first thing he
knows he will have to take to flying
kites and chasing donkeys off the grass
as a relief from the mental strain he
is under.
Let him rest his wearied brain and
remember that few men west of the
Missouri river can be taken in as easily
as he bagged Marcus when he made
him believe the Tribune's political in
f1uence had a cash value.

At Minneapolis the other day, H.
baskerville Mason, a prominent Lon
doner who has spent the greater por-
ton OF the last five years in the Phil
ippines, said: AT the most conserva-
tive estimate 1 think that we will not
see an end of the fighting out there IN
less than four years. There is not
enough regulars or trained troops to
start with. It takes at least a years
service to make regulars out of volun-
teers. 1 think that it will take at least
1OO, 900 men to accomplish what this
country set out to do in the Philippines.
General Otis has about 10000 soldiers,

ing downward" Its next move Is to
cast off the caterpillar skin, and thus
enter upon the third stage of its exist
ence. that of the ''chrysalis' or ''pupa.
This is done about twenty-fOur hours
after the caterpillar has hung himself
up.
The insect remains in this chrysalis
condition about two weeks. Then it is
ready TO change to the fourth stage OF
its life-that of the Image" or butter
fv.
The pupa skin cracks open, and the
butterfly energies, with its wings unde-
veloped. They soon expand, however,
and the cycle of insect life is COM
pleted.
Thus the butterfly has gone through
the four great stages of insect life
namely: First, egg; second. larva;
third. pupa: fourth, adult, or image.

A Butterfy's Life Stages.

The accompanying picture of the Gel
cry caterpillar shows the four stages
of life through which all butterflies and
moths pass. The adult butterfly is a
handsome, black creature, having yell
low and blue markings on its wings. 1t
appears in the garden early in summer,
seeking out the celery, parsley or carrot
plants. When one of these is found she
deposits a small, yellowish egg on the
under side of a leaf. In a week or so
the egg matches into a small caterpillar,
less than one-tenth of an inch long. 1t
is black, with two white transverse
bands, one across the middle and the
other at the hind end of the body. The
back is roughened by minute black pro-
jecting points.
This little caterpillar feeds upon the
leaf at hand, and soon so increases in
size that it is too large for the skin
with which it came from the egg. 1t IS
necessary for it to shed this skin or
mott So the skin splits along the back,
and the caterpillar wriggles out, clothed
in a new skin that has developed be-
meath the old one. On the new cover
ing the color markings are somewhat
different. The caterpillar now contin-
ues to eat and grow for several weeks.
casting its skin at intervals and chang
ing considerably in color and mark
ings.
The full-grown caterpillar is repre-
scented in the picture on the leafstalk.
Its general color is pale green, with a
series of transverse bands of black and
yellow markings. Just back of the head
there is a pair of peculiar yellow Y
shaped organs which are generally not
visible; but when the caterpillar is ir-
ritated they are thrust out and emit a

energies The only thing lacking when
it thus comes out are the large wings;
about its shoulders are some odd little
things. which are really the wings not
spread out. Soon after coming out the
butterfly rests upon some place where
there is room for the wings to expand.
The body juices are now forced into
the veins and the expansion soon takes
place. Then the butterfly is ready to
go afield in search of flowers and play
mates-a wonderful emblem of the pos
sibilitieS of existence.
In this. its final stage, the butterfly is

COMING QUESTIONS
AT CZAR'S CONGRESS
THINGS LIKELY TO BE
DISCUSSED AND ACT
ED UPON.

Washington, April 15.-The IN
ssruct;ops to the American delegates
TO the cars disarmament congress
are 10 the hands of the president and
shey will be communicated to Messrs.
White, Low and Newell, and Capts,
Mahan and Crozies at an early day.
There will be no concerted meeting
Of the delegates on this side, the only
purpose being to arrive at the Hague
about the same time. on or about May
18th
In one respect. i. is said in official
quarters, that the congress may
achieve results of far reaching char
acter. although not in full realization
Of the plan of disarmament. This
will be in the line of ameiiorating the
horrors of war, doing away with the
needless suffering aud manning which
some missiles of warfare occasion,
and, in general, placing warfare upon
as humane basis as is consistent
With military and strategic usage.
This plan is said to be quite apart
from any sentimental idea and to be
based upon strict military consider
atoms.
One of the American delegates
said today that ss indicating the
scope of this line of action, tentative
plans had been put forward for
doing away with torpedoes in naval
warfare also for abandoning rams
on warships also for the use of no
explosive shells below Eve pounds.
The abandonment of torpedoee and
rams would probably arouse much
opposition from naval quarters, on
the ground that it was Utopian and
sentimental.
The restriction on explosive shells
and bullets already exists up to one
pound, but the tentative plan is to
make this limit Eve pounds. The
change is based on the theory that
the three and four pound explosive
shells cause wounds similar to those
made by spreading ballets, which
needlessly tear the flesh and cause
intense suffering In many ways
civilized nations already have recog
nized the needs of mitigating the
horrors of war. The Geneva con
ference brought about many of these
humane understandings. and it is felt
that the czsr's congress will still
further carry forward this humane
work.
