CaterpiIIars of Skim.

In the sal-tree forest of Skim, in the
tropical gorge of the Teesta is one of
the breeding grounds of the myriad
butterflies that swarm over the coun-
try A famous traveller says that in
May and until the middle of June the
tender leaves of the great sal-trees are
literally alive with voracious caterpil-
lars. The presence Of these caterpillars
in such overwhelming numbers is ex-
planned by the fact that they are dis
tasteful to birds. Fowls that were offer
ed them rejected them after a trial
with disgust and went on wiping their
bills for some time afterward. There
are two species. one bright coral and
the other green with stripes. They can
break their fall from the tall trees by
letting themselves down on long silky
threads.

The Warming In n sneexe.

AS q general thing sneezing is ma
lures warning to get warmer in some
way or other. and quickly is the gist
or an article by DR.. w. r. Conant in
Modern Medical Science
The question of temperature and
ventilation he says, lis one of the
most difficult winter problems. So
much depends upon circumstances and
individual idiosyncrasy that it is hard
to lay down any definite rules. An in
door temperature which is suitable for
a vigorous person or one in active mo-
ton is dangerous for one who is deli
cate OR sitting and doing head work ex-
clusively.
AS general rule, it may be said
that temperature that falls much be-
low 20 degrees at four feet from the
floor is dangerous for sedentary work
ers, and any one who continues sitting
when he feels chilled does SO at the
risk of his life

A story of Tom Marshall.

Tom Marshall, Kentucky's> famous
wit, attended a phrenologist's lecture
one night. Marshall had been drinking,
and when he returned to his hotel after
the lecture he drank more. The drink
gave him belief in his chronological
powers, and he declared that he could
''read" heads as we'll as the lecturer.
So it was decided to test his skill upon
some of the guests of the hotel. Both
ladies and gentlemen assembled in the
parlor and Marshall who knew most
of them, furnished an hours uproari-
GUS fun by hitting off their failings
When he had finished an empty headed
dandy whose head had not been exam
ined loudly and pompously called at
tention to the fact that Marshall had
neglected him. II beg your pardon,
SIR said Marshall, 'but you must real
ly excuse me. / am too drunk to read
small print by candlelight. - ."

CASTRO REFUSES
TO ARBITRATE
Denies Venezuela Has Questions
Pending with the United
States OF America.

Washington, March 25.-Ministes
Bowen cables the state department
from Caracas that President Castro
had fatty refused to arbitrate the
pending issues between Venezuela and
the United States. President Castro
replied to Minister Bowen's final pro-
pOsal for arbitration, denying that
Venezuela has questions pending with
the United States, and saying the case
of the New York & Bermudez Asphalt
company must remain in the courts.
Washington, March 2S.-It has been
decided to await the reception of the
exact text of President Castro's re-
fusal to accept Minister Bowen's arbi
tration proposition before proceeding
further with negotiations In this line.
It Is realized that there may be a
fair difference Of opinion as to whether
or not the Venezuelan response was
couched in discOurteous language, and
it may be that at this distance from
the seat of negotiations and after the
lapse of a few days the words which
appeared to Mr.. Bowen to be insolent
will admit of different construction

Although we are told when the uues-
ton is asked, What becomes Of pins
that they fall to the earth ana become
terrapins, a gentleman has gone to
some trouble to find out that this is not
so and to give us the correct answer.
He has found that pins are resolved in
to dust. Hairpins which he watched
for 154 days disappeared by rusting
away at the end Of that time. Bright
pins took nearly eight months to dis
appear. polished steel needles nearly
two years and half; brass pins had
little endurance; steel pens were nearly
gone at the end Of eighteen months,
though their wooden holders we're still
intact.

MISSING YOUTH
RETURNS HOME
Denies He Knows Anything About
His Aunt, Who Disappeared
When He Did.

Chicago, March 2S.-Ragged and
penniless, in the tattered garb of a
prodigal son, Frank Ely Rogers, who
disappeared from his home in Evan
ston July 13. 1901, at the same time
as did his aunt, Florence A. Ely, re-
turned from his husks and his wand
erings, but only to add complexities
to case that for four years has
baffied all attempts of police and pri-
vate detectives to uMavel.
The lad, grown from boy of Is of
the Little Lord Fauntleroy type into
STRIPPING of II with deep bass voice
and sprouting beard, appeared in the
vicinity of his home, and, after being
restored to his parents, drew the veil
of silence over his actions and made
the case more mysterious than ever
by denying that he knew anything of
the whereabouts of his aunt, who dis
appeared at the same time he did.
Word reached the Chicago police
from Evanston during the day that
Miss Ely was in Chicago and was in
hiding at some hotel within the loop
The boy, it was asserted, had been
sent ahead to see what sort of re-
ception would be accorded him, and if
the welcome were cordial then Miss
Ely was to appear. In consequence of
this information two detectives were
sent to make the rounds of the down
town hotels.
