HUNTING MOTHS.

Elaborate Paraphernalia Used by En-
glish EntOmo1ogists.
The paraphernalia carried by the
entomologist in night work in England,
although less whimsical in character
than that used in hunting the Shark"
is almost as varied. 1t includes stout
wooden box, inside of which is carried
a big lamp killing bottle" of cyan
ide and a number of pill-boXes of vari-
Gus sizes; three eight-foot poles; a
white sheet about ten feet long by five
feet wide; pot Of molasses-called
sugar" by the moth-catcher; a hand
lantern, moth-trap and the indis-
pensable net. With these articles in u
wheelbarrow, says Pearson's Maya
zine, the moth-catcher starts toward
sunset for his hunting ground.
The Wicken Sedge fen in Cambridge
shire is the place where some of the
rarest insects find an English home,
and toward this bit Of wild fen the
entomologist makes his way.
He goes somewhat laboriously over
the marshy ground, along narrow
paths, and after walk Of about fifteen
minutes arrives at an open space,
where the sedge has been cut.
Quickly fixing in the ground two Of
the long poles, the moth-hunter
stretches out the big white sheet be-
tween them. Ten feet or so away he
fixes his lamp on the third pole, so that

of the pill-boxes, the lantern and the
killing bottle" and hangs the moth
trap on an adjacent tree to take its
share of the nights spoil.
This moth-trap, although regarded as
of secondary Importance, is very in
genious contrivance, so designed that
when the moths, attracted by a light
inside, once enter, they cannot escape.
After the trap has been set third
snare for the moths is prepared, the
sinewy young branches of the low
shrubs, which grow profusely in the
fen, being twisted and tied together in
knotty punches, which are literally
smeared with molasses, with a dash
of rum in 1t.
When 1t is sufficiently dark for the
moths to fly the big lamp is lighted,
and its strong ligh. is thrown upon the
sheet, so that is easy to see the small
est moth that may come within range.
The moth-catcher takes his stand, net

what philosophy we may possess,
we are enduring the steady depre-
citation of the white metal. the basis

papuerized peso is at once our des-

Bankers and business men shook
their heads the prey of doleful
forehodings. But what would we
not all give today,-government,

chants-for a dollar steady, year
in year out, at 90 cents? That
would seem an ideal condition;
native industries would be amply
protected By the gold premium in
addition to the tariff: the railways
would find their net earnings most
substantial to gaze upon, and rail
way managers would feel an acces-
sion OF fresh courage; all importers
would consider that they had solid
ground beneath their feet.
But, unless a miracle occurs, the
silver peso, the Mexican dollar, even
yet with prestige in the Far East,
is doomed 10 drop still farther. We
are practically on gold basis as
to prices, without the benefits that
an unfiuctuating currency gives,

OF new gold from the worlds mines
