THE LATE MISS oRMERoD.

We regret to announce the death of the accomplished entomologist, Miss Eleanor A. Ormerod, which took place yesterday at her residence, Terrington House. St. Albans, after severe ill- ness. She had been gradually sinking for the last six weeks from malignant disease of the liver.
 Miss Ormerod, who came of talen- ted family, was the third daughter Of the late George Ormerod, D. c. L., r. R. S., the author of the history of Cheshire, and was born at Sedbury Park, Worcestershire, on May Il, 1928, so that she recently completed her sev- enty- third year. Insects were to her a lifelong study. One of her earliest re- collections was that of being placed in a chair to watch some large water grubs-probably the larvae of carniv- orous water -beetle-when to her amazement she saw one of the crea lures which had been injured deVoured by it's companions. This observation whetted the appetite for further knowl- edge, and her fathers Worcestershire property, beautifully situated opposite Chepstow, in Monmouthshire, afforded her abundant opportunities for the study of plant, bird and insect life.
 As her father advanced in years, she took a large share in the management of the farm and the estate, and this gave her that practical knowledge of agricultural affairs of which her nu- merous writings subsequently afforded evidence. A shrewd appreciation of the considerable information possessed by farmers and farm laborers, acquired by them in the field, contributed much to the success which Miss Ormerod achieved. She tapped this store of knowledge, and skillfully systematized and correlated what had previously

GREYHOUNDS.
They Are the Fleetest of All Four
 Footed Animal

They Are the Fleetest of All Four Footed Animal. Comparatively few people realize of what remarkable speed dogs are capa- be Some remarkable statistics in re- gard to this have been gathered by M. Dusolier, French scientist.
 After pointing out the marvellous endurance shown by little fox terriers who follow their masters patiently for hours while the latter are riding on b- cycles or in carriages he.says that even greater endurance is shown by certain wild animals that are akin to dogs.
 Thus the wolf can run between fifty and sixty miles in one night, and an arctic fox can do quite as well, if not better.
 Nansen met one of these foxes on the ice at point more than seventy miles northwest of the Sannikow territory, which is 4S0 miles from the Asiatic coast. Esquimau and Siberian dogs can travel forty-fve miles on the ice in five hours, and there is one case on rec ord in which team of Esquimau dogs travelled six and half miles in twenty eight minutes.
 
 of the shepherd dogs and those used in hunting ranges from ten to fifteen yards a second English settlers and pointers hunt at the rate of eighteen to nineteen miles an hour, and they can maintain this speed for at least two hours.
 Foxhounds are extraordinarily siwft, as is proved by the fact that a dog of this breed once beat thoroughbred horse, covering four miles in six and one-half minutes, which was at the rate of nearly eighteen yards second.
 Greyhounds are the sWiftest of all four-footed creatures, and their speed may be regarded as equal to that of carrier pigeons. English greyhounds, which are carefully selected, and which are used for coursing, are able to cover at full gallop a space between eighteen and twenty three yards every second.
 How great an achievement this is may be judged fro mthe fact that thoroughbred horse rarely, if ever, ex- ceeds nineteen yards. Moreover, it is said that a hare at It's greatest speed never goes faster than at the rate of eighteen yards.
 These interesting statistics are ex- citing much comment among sports man and other lovers of dogs, and the opinion is unanimous that M. Dusolier has fully proved the right of the grey hound to rank as the swiftest of the o1adrupeds Express engines only sur pass them-From the London Mail

been isolated facts. She won the sym pathy of the farm laborers at Sedbury, and they became her willing helpers in tracing and procuring insects with specimens of the mischief wrought by them. About the year 1868 the Royal Horticultural Society in conjunction with the Science and Art Department, began to form a collection illustrative of insects useful or injurious to culti- vators, and to this Miss Ormerod con- tributed largely for a period of ten years. In recognition of this work the oval Horticultural society awarded her the Flora Medal and later she received silver and gold medals from the Uni versity of Moscow for her admirable models of insect injuries to plants.
 After her fathers death the idea oc- cured to her of recording the results of sustained observations upon the rava- ges of insect pests of farm and orchard and garden. Accordingly, early in 1877, she issued brief pamphlet entitled, Notes from Observations on Injurious Insects" This was sent to various persons who, it was hoped, would be- come observers; and the information thereby obtained was published In the autumn of the same year, thus forming the first of a valuable series of annual reports on injurious insects and com mon farm pests, the twenty-fourth and last of which was published in March of the present year. This unique series of reports was rendered additionally val uable by the publication in 1899 Of general index to all the reports issued up to that date. The immense losses caused by the serious outbreak of tur- nip-fy in 1881 led Miss Ormerod to publish her first special report, which dealt with this pest and the means Of combating it's ravages. In 1882 the council of the Royal Agricultural soci- ety, having in view the serious and increasing attacks of insects on farm crops" invited her to become honorary consulting entomologist to the society. She accepted the appointment, and made many valuable reports up to the summer of 1884, when, owing to disa- agreements which need not be revived, she resigned the office. She was, how ever prevailed upon to resume the du- ties some months later; but the re-en- gagement did not last long, and in the summer of 1892 she finally severed her connection with the society.
 Nevertheless she continued her ento- mological work with undiminished viz or notwithstanding very indifferent health and, at times, acute physical suffering. All the year round daily applications for information reached her from at home and abroad, and it is impossible to estimate the money value of the losses she was instrumental in preventing by her sound practical ad- vice. generously given to all who cared to ask it. Writing as recently as Feb ruary last she said: My work now literally girdles the earth;" and she mentioned Japan, China. India, Smyr- na, most of the countries of Europe, as well as Canada, the United States, South Africa and Australia, from all of which sources specimens and inquiries reached her Owing to the state of her health and acting on the advice of her

 Excuse me- said the litle woman with the frowzy, yellow hair, who sat on the last seat of the Brighton Beach car, to the fat man wedged in between her and the rail, "but could l borrow your pencil just minute?'
 She could and i'd, and after mo- ment's figuring on the margin of racing chart she returned it with an ample smile that showed many dol lars worth of gold filings.
 "Awf ylmuch obliged" she said. DO VOL want to make some money at the track to-day?"
 The fat man grined sardonically.
 CT ain't goin down for my health" he said.
 Nothing abashed, his interlocutor continued:
 Because if you do, I can tell you how-it's moral, honest; it's a moral for sure."

 Never you mind my ticket back. You don't have to settle for it anyhow, do you? If you don't want the tip you don't have to take it, do you? But got hunch that never lost yet, and can't see why this should be the time.
 The fat man appeared somewhat re- morseful, possibly because, like almost every habitual racegoer, he had lib- eral allowance of superstition in his makeup.

After this the meat is thrown into the river to become food for the fishes While the clans found here at Red Wing are the best for the button trade because they are thinner and larger and produce more blanks to the shell than other varieties further down the river, they are not noted for pearls The ''nigger head" thick black shell, use- less for commercial purposes IS the real pearl clam One to ton IS good average, for they are rare. When pearl hunter pulls up a ''nigger head he never waits to steam it, but breaks it open at once to discover if it con tains prize.
 Some wonderful stories are told about the value of pearl found along the Mis- sissippi. For the most part they are fakes. The most valuable pearl found this summer in the vicinity sold for $500. Yesterday pearl was sold here to New Yorker buyer for $35o. There are half a dozen buyers mostly from the East, who journey up and down the river all the season, which lasts from April till November.
 In the nomenclature of the hunter there gre pearls" and "slugs." Pearls are the beautiful and uniformly round stones. "Slugs'' are irregular masses of pearl, varying in size from a pea to an English walnut. The story was eX- tensively circulated some weeks ago that $40,0O0 had been refused and $50- 900 asked for a pearl found in one of the Mississippi beds. It was well enough for the dealer who had the jew el to get the free advertising he did out of the bauble, but one-tenth the figure named would have represented its ac- tual value,
