Caterpillars occasionally crawl from
their hiding places on warm days IN
winter. The most common Of these IS
a thick furred worm with red coat
banded with black, which has the ap-
pearance of chenille. Of the caterpil-
lars that live through the winter a
large number belong to species that
require more than one season to devel-
op from the egg to the perfect insect.
The year 1900 was an excellent year
for fruit in Switzerland, and manu-
featuring firm in the canton Of Aagau
decided to erect a plant for utilizing
the apple crop. Machinery was put In
for peeling, corins~and slicing apples.
The baking was accomplished by plac-
ing the slices on trays which were
something like gridirons, one being
placed over another in the ovens. An
electric motor was used to warm the
air for the baking.
Large deposits of magnesite have been
found in southern India, andihe officers
of a Portland cement works at Ma
dras have succeeded in producing \
white cement plaster which has magne-
sium for a basis. This cement can be
used for plastering walls, and dries
so speedily that rooms are ready for
occupancy within 48 hours. 1t can be
painted or else colored by mixing COL
oring matters, and it is extremely val
liable from a sanitary standpoint, as
it can be washed down. The cement is
as hard as Portland cement, while at
the same time, it can be moulded like
plaster of paris. 1t is thought that the
material, which can be used either in
doors or outside, will play an impor-
tant part in house building in India.
In the Hemshof dye and soda fac
tory near Mannheim, Ger, workman
named Montag has invented a substi-
tute for coal, which costs about rs
cents per 220 pounds to manufacture.
Peat is the basis, with the addition OF
certain secret chemicals pressed into
bricks. The product gives great
heat, burns with bright flame, leaves
no Stag and only small quantity OF
white ash. Certain Mannheim capital
lists have tried to obtain the secret
from the inventor by offering him po-
sition as director in company to be
established, giving him a salary OF
$4,000 and 2 percent of the net profits,
but he has refused this offer because
he wants to control the sale of the in
vention himself. Mr.. Gehrig, the sec
retary of the Mannheim chamber Of
commerce, has undertaken to procure
the means to manufacture the article
in partnership with the inventor. They
have bought peat land, and will erect
the buildings large enough to keep sew
erel hundred men at work. with
daily output Of 60 tons.

The Springfield Republican, one of the
most conservative journals in the coun-
try. declares, in speaking Of the insular
cases, that the fact cannot escape atten.
tipn that through the comment on the
decisions, legal and otherwise, there
runs a note Of amazement and depreci.
ative criticism, and this is true Of opin.
ion on the side of the administration as
we'll as Of opinion opposed to it. The
singular cross divisions of the court by
which the result was reached, and the
entire absence of any clear. united and
commanding argument leading up to
the result, do not and cannot serve to
enhance the public respect for this great
tribunal. Since the days of John Mar
shall, whose masterly character and
luminous mind and exalted purpose
never once bent to the political needs
Of the other departments of the govern.

had the excitement and turmoil incident

will be in the midst Of further political

being to learn in what parts the disease
is most prevalent and the conditions
under which it exists. There will be no
little difficulty in getting the required
