La PaIoma TO the Front.

Clarence w. Macfarkane's yacht La
Paloma, which is at present resting IN
the placid waters of Pearl Harbor, will
probably soon be seen again in this
port, as she is to undergo several
changes which will have to be made
here. The vessel is now having the
mahogany and other woodwork which
ornaments her interior scraped as it Is
to be revarnished. Before she leaves
Pearl Harbor an attempt VIII be made
to clean off her sides and as far down
as possible, the large patches of bar
nacles and marine growths which have
accumulated while the yacht has been
out Of commission. 1t is possible, how
ever, that she is so foul that she will
have to be towed to this city.
When the La Paloma arrives here
she is to be thoroughly overhauled and
fitted and she will probably also be re-

schooner yacht, has been with Mr..
Macfarlane at Pearl Harbor and has
planned to convert the boat into yawI

boom will then be replaced by a Jigger
mast while the fore mast will remain
as 1t is.

1T is eminently wise for the farmer
to grow beets and sell sugar, because
he only disposes of something that
comes from the atmosphere, for the
pulp is fed to the dairy COW and every
thing taken from the soil is restored
to the SOIL and there is no deteriora-
ton whatever. 1t will not be many
years before all the money now paid
foreigners for agricultural products OF
all kinds including sugar, will be kept
at home Last year we sent abroad
$3.50. 600, 600 worth of farm products, In
round figures, and bought half that
amount from foreign countries. 1t is
only a question of time when not only
our sugar, but our tobacco and rice
will all be produced at home. In fact,
we began helping the rice industry
three years ago, and the last crop has
been estimated to be equal to the home
demand. so we will save what money
has been sent abroad for rice.
1--WE are establishing experiment sta
tions IN the islands that have lately
come under our flag. We will endeavor
to teach those people how to produce
the things we cannot produce within
the old United States, so that they
may have money with which to buy
things that we do produce here

BUTTERFLY CULTURE.
THE SUGGESTION TO ATTEMPT 1T IN THE
PARKS CONSIDERED IMPACTI-
CABLE BY ENTOMOLOGISTS.

"a very pretty suggestion" it IS called by
one Of the London papers, has been brought
under the consideration of the Parks Committee
of the London County Council. The proposition
is. ito encourage the butterflies to increase and
multiply in the public parks and gardens of
that city. Butterflies certainly add color to
scene. and London needs all the color that can
be had. And any who has spent half an
hour in looking at the gorgeous lepidOpterae
from every cline which fill the showcases in
one department of the American Museum of
Natural History is likely to feel the wish that
the public breathing places of New-York. too.
might be frightened by flights of these jewel
winged beauties. both native and foreign The
aspiration is both poetic and ineligible, but
there seems to be another side to the question.
The London paper already referred to does not
say how the Parks Committee of the County
Council views the proposition is anything
said in the article to the decisions. actual or
probable. of responsible officials and scientists.
on this side of the ocean inquiry the sub
ject was put to Secretary Holly, of the New
York Board of Park Commissioners. To the
question. how he thought the Park Board of
New-YOrk would view similar suggestion, Sec
rotary Holly promptly replied: The board
would have to refer it to Professor Southwick,
the entomologist." Urged to say what he him
scheme. he gave-as a non-expert. of course
answer suggesting a fear of the Greeks
bringing gifts.
Professor Southwick. when referred to. spoke
without reserve, but with smile. If the

tracing sunbeams from cucumbers.

That unfortunately large percentage OF the
public who lack special information on the
American bug will. perhaps, hardly sympathize
at the outset with the entomOlogist's pessi-
mstc view of this very pretty suggestion as
applicable to New-York. But here are some of

parks are just those We have to be always urg-
ing war against, and those We have no reason to
fear are for that very reason not at all easy
TO get in sufficient numbers to make any diff
ference"
Another entOmOIogist. Professor BeutmuIIer
of the American Museum of Natural History
thinks that this country has already been much
too hospitable to insects. Among the various
species which have shamefulIy abused this
hospitality, Professor BeutmuIIer mentions the
elm bettle the clothes moth the carpet beetle
the snout BEETLE, grain weeviI which eats
all kinds of stored grain; the grain louise which
destroys growing grain; the clover beetle the
oyster shell bark louise the death watch-other-
wise known as the drug store beetle. because OF
its taste for many vegetable drugs; the book
worm. because Of it's fondness for books, and
the gypsy moth. which is even now making itself
q nuisance in Massachusetts. To many AmerI-
cans 1t will be a surprise to learn that none OF
these bugs are Indigenous. while q good many
New-IOrkers may never have heard that the
roach is of foreign extraction and is still un-
unknown out West
OF the plan of rearing and keeping beautiful
butterflies in captivity which is practised in
the Geological Society'S Gardens in Regents
Park London, Professor SOuthwick does not
speak very hopefully He does not by any
means pronounce IT impracticable here but the
would. he regards them, be enor-
nous. so far, at least. as concerns butterflies,
as distinguished from moths. IL is easy to see

COLLEGE EDUCATION.

The value ola college education to
the young man and woman of the
present il a question that is more than
ever before pressing for an answer.
Parents, teachers, the young, and the
world itself are all asking, is college
training so essential to success in life
as to warrant its general adoption Pr
To judge from the constant and fapid
increase in the number of students,
the immense endowments and the al
tention bestowed on higher education
at present, this question is already an
swered. Our colleges are annually
turning out thousands Of young peo-
pie who have been given every pos
sible advantage in mental training.
What was formerly the exception is
now the rule, until it Is accepted a. a
matter Of course that young men. es-
pecially, should have received a diplo-
ma before they are fitted to begin the
serious work OF life. Parents DO not
feel that they have fully discharged
their duty toward their children until.
often at serious selt-sacrifce. they have
sent them through college. \ father
with sufficient means who should re-
fuse to do this would be regarded Pc
culiar, to say the least.
And yet the question is stin an open
one. Does college education pay y~-
not merely in dollars and cents. but in
all things that mark success in life. BY
this token il should stand or fall. and
not because il is a fad or a fashion.
In spite Of the rush toward the univer-
sity doors, there are many who seri-
