WATERLOO!

It would be the height of impu- dence for civilian to touch the ever lasting controversy about the Water loo campaign. Wellington was reti- cent on the subject. It appears to be admitted that he had reasons for his reticence. and that it has never been thoroughly explained why, when all manifestly depended on the result cf
 a pitched battle he and Butcher had allowed themselves to be caught apart.
 In numbers there was no great dis parity between the two armies, but in other respects the disparity was great, and allowance must always be made for Wellington on that ground. Napoleon's 71,000 men were all Frenchmen and probably as good sol fliers as he had ever commanded. Of Wellington's 67,000. 24,O00 only were British, and of these part were raw. The rest was made up of other na- tionalities, including 17.000 Dutch Bel gians, who were untrustworthy, and most of them ran away. Napoleon was vastly superior to Wellington in artillery. having 246 while Wellington had only 156 guns. He was greatly superior also In cavalry. e oldwin Smith in the Atlantic.

It's Great Year For the Insects
 Bob Evans Says So Too.
 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 1t WAS reported from Buffalo that a minent there, and that the little mis- chief makers were causing no end of annoyance to farmers in that neigh borhood. Instead of confining their attacks to trees of the horse chestnut, elm and poplar varieties. as i'll 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 re- ports of another pest which has exci- ted the wrath of the people of West chester county. This insect is known as the flying boring bug" His aim in life, apparently, is to destroy as much valuable vegetation as possible, to- gether with whatever else suits his taste. He seems to be partial to lawns and grain fields, and when he and his family suspend operations, the place they abandon presents a scene of de- vastation.
 In Virginia and the Carolinas the kissing buzz" 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 disposf- tion 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 ab- sorbing generous doses of Paris green.
 In Connecticut and in some parts of Massachusetts war has been declared on the elm tree beetle. which has late ly destroyed scores of valuable elms in the Nutmeg state. The superintendent
 
 Boston has directed that strict watch be kept for this pest. Inasmuch as the superintendent has no faith in spray ing trees infected 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, 1t appears, still reign supreme in various parts of New Eng land. and the good people there are cudgeling their brains to discover some way in which the singular pest may be exterminated.
 All the while the New Jersey and Staten Island mosquitos have pros pered and grown fat; although, if pr Doty's expectations are fulfilled, they have seen their most prosperous days. New York Sun.

Buck That Saw Esau Saw. 2
 An old farmer of Arkansas, whose sons had all grown up and left him, hired a young man by the name of Esau Buck, to help him on his farm. On the evening of the first day they hauled up a small load of poles for wood and unloaded them between the garden and the barn yard. The next morning the. old man said to the hired man: 'Esau, am going to town to- day, and while am gone you may saw up that wood and keep the old ram out of the garden" When the old man had gone, Esau went out to saw the wood, but when he saw the saw he wouldn't saw it. When Esau saw the saw he saw that he couldn't saw it with that saw. When the old man came home he says to Esau: 1SsEsau. did you saw the wood ?''.s 'Esau said: 'sI saw the wood but wouldn't saw 1t; for when I saw the saw, saw that I couldn't saw with that saw, so I didn't saw it.' The old man went out to see the saw, and when he saw the saw he saw that Esau couldn't saw with that saw When Esau saw that the old man saw that he couldn't saw with the saw, Esau picked up the axe and chopped up the wood and made a see-saw. The next day the old man went to town and bought new buck saw for Esau Buck. and when he came home he hung the buck saw by the see saw. Just at this time Esau Buck saw the old buck in the garden eating cab bage, and when driving him from the garden to. the barnyard Esati Buck saw the buck saw on the saw buck by the see-saw, and Esau stopped to ex- anime the new buck saw. Now, when the old buck saw Esau Buck looking at the new buck saw on the saw buck by the see-saw, he made a dive for Esau, missed Esau. hit the see-saw, knocked the see-saw against Esau Buck who fell on the buck saw on the saw buck by the see-saw Now, when the old man saw the old buck dive at Esau Buck and miss Esau and hit the see-saw and knock the see-saw against Esau and Esau Buck fall on the buck saw on the saw buck by the see-saw, he picked up the axe to kill the old buck, but the buck saw him coming. and lodged the blow and countered on the old mans stomach; knocked the old man over the see-saw onto Esau Buck, who was getting up with the buck saw off the saw buck by the see- saw, crippled Esau Buck, broke the buck saw and the saw buck and the see-saw. Now. when the old buck saw the completeness of his victory over the old man and Esau Buck and the buck saw and the saw buck and the see-saw, he quietly turned around, went back, and jumped into the gar den again and ate up what was left of the old mans cabbage.

The points of army argument as to the further development of the Ameri- can locomotive as high-speed and high-power machine are these, says E.
 P. Watson in the New England Engi- neering Magazine: That radically new locomotive is not available for immediate service: that railway off cials will give promising devices fair trials; and, lastly. that the field for radical improvement is exceedingly limited. Step by step the present en- zine has been raised from 500 horse power to 1,500 horse power and more in some cases, but not by means of startling novelties of any kind. The chief Improvement has been secured through increasing the boiler power from 150 pounds per square inch, which was a maximum fifteen years ago. to 200 pounds as rule and 225 pounds per square inch In some en- zines; but the steam-distributing de- tails remain just where they were fir teen years ago. with some moditica- tlons in dimensions none whatever in application. I believe that the cyIin- drical, corrugated fire-box recently in- troduced by Cornelius Vanderbilt has great possibilities in the direction of still higher pressures, and in that di- rection is an advance: but higher pres sures nlone will not increase average railway speed 20 per cent, and at least that is demanded. The greatest stumbling block Is the line itself. as it exists on most American railways, and 1t seems hopeless to expect any i'm. provement until the roadbeds of the railways of the United States are con structed for high speed. There Is nc object In building high-poWered loco. motives to drag trains up steep hills and around short curves, or upon grad ients more or less heavy, by brute force This is merelye burning the candle at both ends. for 1t increases the expense of maintenance without correspondingIy improving the service High speed as obtained at present Is costly-e exceedingly so-and railway managers are wall aware of it.

WHERE sNAILs WORK.

An old colored woman selling snails occasionally makes her appearance in South street, and sometimes she may also be found along Front street or Second street, up i'll the district that used to be known as the Northern Lib- critics. She carries an old basket in sprinkled leaves. These are not sold as food, but for the cleaning the outside of window panes-an old prac- tice still in vogue in Kensington. The snail is dampened and placed upon the glass, where it at once moves around and deyours all insects and foreign matter, leaving the pane as bright and clear as crystal. There are old estab- lished business places in Kensington where the upper windows, when cleaned at all. are always cleaned by snails. There is also fine market for snails among the owners of aqua riums. as they keep the glass clean and bright philadelphia Record.

A reporter of the New York Even ing Post" makes the statement, in re- gard to Sir Thomas Lipton's Shamrock II. that the closer she is examined the more formidable does she appear, as cup contestant, while her nautical beauty loses nothing. We apparently are going to have a fine race.-Hart- ford Courant.
 Yes, that's what We want, race that will keep us on edge nutil the last leg is run--a race that will only. be decided by the last trial. iLipton is a game sport and We should not try to blanket him without giving him a show.

Lipton Encouraged -Tndepen-
 dence Treated Unfairly.
 Tn the cup races of 1899 the O. lumDla won the first race by 10 min- ates aud \ seconds; the second was awarded because. the Shamrock was uisapled and did not finish the course; anu the third by 6 minutes and 34 seconds. In the considerable number of unfinished races the Columbia gen erally had small advantage.
 The Columbia is believed to be about six minutes faster now than she was then. The Shamrock I is declar- ed py Sir Thomas Lipton to be five minutes faster than she was in the last cup races, so If the. estimates of the owners are correct the Columbia and the Shamrock I are very closely matched. But Sir Thomas is sure that the new Shamrock is all of nine minutes faster than the old one. It does not yet appear that the Consti- tutlOn. is at all faster than the Co., lumbia taking all kinds of weather conditions together, wherefore Sir Thomas finds it easy to believe that fbls time he is going to carry the cup home with him.
 But the figuring out races in ad- fl'.AA'SSsa s2S lNLAJ ulhCIeIll lTOm Sl1IllS them. All We or any one can know tt present is that two good yachts are to be opposed in any case. After the Shamrock has her racing rig on and has been out q few times it may be possible to form some more definite idea of the chances; and by that time idea of the chances. and by that time we may know little better how the Constitution and Columbia really compare. Of course there will be, a strong disposition to choose the Con- stitution as the cup defender if this Is at all possible. Neither those who built her nor the man who designed her will be willing to think that no Improvement was made on the yacht of two years ago.
 And the Independence, which has some remarkable possibilities, is out of it all! It Is chiefly her owners fault, but there Is some foundation for the complaint that the New York Yacht club has not been disposed to give quite fair show to any boat de signed and built outside it's own circle. The club has had good deal of prov ocation. ibut it is not to be held free ofseaH blame for the present unfortu- nate sstate of affairs. Hartford 1IneS.s f8f v 8f
