Great Year for Flyers and Crawlers.

The weather of the past few weeks
appears to have been admirably suited
to the health and propagation of in
sects. and numerous species are now
right in their glory. A short time ago
it was reported from Buffalo that a
caterpillar pest of some sort was i'm
minent there, and that the chief mis-
chief makers were causing no end of
ANNOYANCE to farmers in that neighbor
hood. Instead of combining their at
tacks to trees of the horse chestnut,
elm and poplar varieties, as in former
years, they have been stripping the fruit
orchards, and it is feared that they will
impair the fruit crop of western New
York
From White Plains have come reports
of another pest, which has excited the
wrath of the people of Westchester
county. This insect is known as the
''hying boring bug" His aim in life,
apparently, is to destroy as much valu-
able vegetation as possible, together
with whatever else suits his taste. He
seems to be partial to lawns and grain
fields, and when he and his family sus-
pend operations, the place they aban-
don presents scene of devastation.
In Virginia and the Carolinas the
kissing bug" scientifically known as
Melanolestes picipes, has been making
himself felt. So troublesome has he
become that the Chief Entomologist of
the Department Of Agriculture has
deemed it expedient to issue a docu-
ment describing the bug, his disposition
and habits, and telling where the largest
| and most prosperous colonies of his
kind may be found.
All through New England and in
many other sections of the country the
potato bug is doing his level best to
make both ends meet and preserve his
! reputation. Early and late he is busy
feasting upon the potato tops OF the
| farmers, and early and late he is absorb
ing generous doses of Paris green.
In Connecticut and in some parts of
Massachusetts, war has been declared
on the elm tree beetle, which has lately
destroyed scores of valuable elms in
the Nutmeg State. The Superinten-
dent of the Public Grounds Depart
ment in Boston has directed that strict
watch to be kept for this pest. mas
much as the Superintendent has no
faith in spraying trees infested by the
beetles, he will see to it that any
branches ON which they may be found
are promptly removed.
The caterpillar descendants of the
brown-tail moth, it appears, still reign
supreme in various parts of New Eng
land, and the good people there are
cudgelling their brains to discover some
way in which the singular pest may be
exterminated.
All the while the New Jersey and
Staten Island mosquitoes have pros
pered and grown fat; although, if DR..
Toty's expectations are fulfilled, they
have seen their most prosperous days.

A PROFESSIONAL CALL.
BY ~. Quad.
Copyright, 1901, Bye. B. Lewis.

1t was the public press that first gave
me lift as young physician and sur
geon, and it was the same power that
almost wrought my death in the same
fortnight. l had been very fortunate
in surgical operation in charity hos
pital in which many people of social
standing were interested and the news
papers caught up the talk and gave me
a fine send off. Not & week had passed
before | received a caller who came to
consult me about case of cancer of
the tongue. 1t was a sister of his, he
said, who was the victim, and his call
was to learn how l would operate and
whether would be free after o'clock
of an evening.
1t was the fourth night after his call
that the summons came. A man whom
/ at once took for valet came in a
cab to tell me that Mr.. Gray's sister
had consented to the operation and I
thing necessary except the surgical in
struments had been provided, and in
ten minutes l was riding through the
streets of London with him. When
we finally stopped after a two mile
ride, the street, so far as l could make
out, was fairly respectable one. and
the house we entered was detached and
built of brick and stone. took no
heed of name plate or number. but fol-
