course these eggs are very minute,
but, with the microscope adding SO
greatly to our powers of sight, we are
able to see these tiny objects. Where
you ask. / answer: On the leaves
and stems of almost every plant that
grows for it is, indeed, favored
plant that is not the prey of one or
more insects in their larval or cater
pillar stage.
In one illustration we show the
egg of the handsome White Ad-
miral butterfly. Here the Smell is
decorated with deep hexagonal cells,
which have spikes or pricklGS placed
on their angles. These eggs are
usually placed on the honeysuckle or
woodbine, generally close to edge, or
near the apex, of the leaves.
The Silver-washed Fritillary, one of
the largest and most beautiful of Brit
ish butterflies, also deposits an inter
esting form of egg and this is most
frequently laid on the leaves of the
sweet violet, or the unscented dog
violet.
We might consider the eggs of
many other butterflies and find them
equally attractive, but, as we must
glance at the ova of other insects, we
will turn now to moths; and here, on
the leaf of this elder tree, is a good
example. But, first, I want you to
look at this leaf with the normal
sight. (Number in the large illus
tration). You will notice that. on its
under side, from the apex, and some
distance down. the leaf is coated with

child's Funeral Touched Even Grasp
ing Men of Money.

A child's funeral was held Tuesday
in ''The Street." that graveyard of
honorable hopes. A small, white cot
find Uas carried from No. S Wall
street. The lofty building is filed
with brokers, who pursue money, and
with lawyers, who, for fees, advise
the brokers how to make money.
The little white coffin contained the
dust of Elsie Taylor, six years old,
daughter of the buildings superin-
tendent, whose home is there. She
was a fair-haired child, and most of
the tenants knew her and were fond
OF her because when they saw her
they were reminded of gaiety and
innocence and other things far re-
moved from sordid money and dis
nal law So the men who met the
coffin as it was carried to the hearse
that awaited it halted and took of
their hats. And as the hearse and

Summer Resort DAMAGED.

Oshkosh.-Oakwood, one of the
largest resorts in this vicinity, was
considerably damaged by miniature
tornado which accompanied brief
rainstorm, general in this section.
The wind tossed rowboats upon the

pensive docks along the beach besides
tearing down trees and damaging cot
tages. The storm does not seem to
have struck anywhere else with such
great severity. Several expensive
boats were found five miles from their
mornings.

Since then, minute things, all more
or less marvellous, would be so abun-
dant, we must direct our newly-en-
lowed power Of vision in some partic-
NlaT direction; otherwise we might
be bewildered by the many novel ap-
pearances around us. Let us, for the
moment, therefore, give attention to
The numerous insects which move and
fly so gaily amongst flowers and
leaves. Let us remember. too, that
before we could have this busy throng
of little animals, for each one tiny
egg had to be carefully deposited in
some suitable spot by tho mother in

that every mother insect we now see
is seeking for some fitting site in
which to place her all-important oVa,
so that her offspring may thrive. OF

NEWS OF WISCONSIN
HAPPENINGS OF INTEREST IN
THE VARIOUS TOWNS.
INSPECTION FIGHT ON
State Authorities Will Contest Efforts
to Have State Law Declared
Void-May Go to the SUI
preme Court.

Superior.-The Wisconsin grain and
warehouse commission, the Superior
board of trade, and the attorneys for
the commission and the board have
decided to fight for Wisconsin inspec-
ton to the last ditch. There is little
money at the disposal of any of the
parties with which to fight the affair,
but some one has come to the rescue
and arrangements are now being
made to continue the fight until it is
finally decided one way or the other
on all the issues that are involved in
the proceedings. Judge Luse, recent
candidate for justice of the Wisconsin
supreme court, and Senator George B.
Hudnall, father of the Wisconsin
grain inspection law, will fight the af-
fair for the commission and the local
grain interests.
The important case for the commits
sion to win now is that brought by the
elevator companies to have the Wis
cOnsin inspection law declared void.
Judge Sanborn in the United States
court held that the law is void and is
sued an injunction against the inspec.
ton bureau going ahead with the in
spection as far as the interests of the
plaintiff companies are concerned.
This practically ties the commission
up and the next move will be to fight
the case to the supreme court, if pos
sible and necessary. The appeal has
already been made to the United
States court of appeals.
1t has also been decided to bring
suits for the collection of several
thousand dollars in fees which the
commission claims for the inspection
Of grain in the city.
