The placing of exhibits for the COM
ing district fair has already commenc-
ed. Today d. c. Bowman, who had
charge OF the Umatilla county exhibit
at the Lewis and Clark fair. began
moving the permanent features of the
exhibit used there from the court
tary Willis in the Bowman building,
in the rooms on front Main street and
the intention is TO have the entire
exhibit placed and on exhibition with
in week. To it will be added special
exhibits made by private business
houses and others-as many as the
room, which is SOx100 feet, can ac-
commodate. There are already more
applications than there is a certainty
of being able to find room for.
Attention is called to the fact that
this exhibit at Mr.. Willis headquarters
will be open within week and kept
open, day and night until the fair
closes at midnight of the night of Sep
temher 29 An orchestra will be on
duty much of the time, and possibly
during all the hours which it will be
open each day. 1t is known at this
time that this exhibit will surpass the
county's exhibit at the Lewis and

John. 6 feet. He ..nlself measures feet 2A inches. Athletic during his college days, James Harlan was also studious. active in the literary socie- ties and one of the honor men. When he worked with his books 1t was tell ing work; when he played he gave his attention to the contest at hand. He was captain of the baseball nine at Princeton when his brother John was catcher.
 James 8. Harlan is of the breed that produced the chivalry of the south. The male line represents the old-time plantation owners; the old homestead still stands at Winchester, Va. and one of the schools of that place has had a Harlan for teacher since the time when the memory of man run meth not to the contrary.
 The father of the new interstate commerce commissioner. John Mar shall Harlan, is associate justice of the supreme court of the United States, a member of that distinguished tribunal since November 29, 1877.

But, first, I want you to look at this leaf with the normal sight. (Number 2 in the large illus tration). You will notice that. on It's under side. from the apex, and some distance down, the leaf Is coated with hat layer of some finely granulated substance. Then apply your micro scopic eye. with its power of enlarg- ing what you see by 26 diameters, and in the picture to the left we have de- picted portion of what you have just seen with the normal eye. That finely-granulated layer, we now see, consists of about 1.s00 eggs of the common large Yellow Underwing moth, all regularly placed. side by side, and fitted. even. to the irregu- larly cut edge of the leaf; and all, un- doubtedly, laid by one insect. More over, almost every egg in this large batch proved to be fertile and pro duced a living caterpillar. Such is the extent of the progeny of the Un. derwing moth.
 On the same elder branch, and on almost the next leaf. Is another batch of about 200 eggs, of larger size, but similar in form. though of more intri- cate design; some of which I have shown in illustration No. 1.
 The very common vapourer moth deposits some similar eggs, the shells of which are not thin and iridescent. like the previous examples we have glanced at, but thicker and opaque, and remind one of porcelain pot with lid bearing an indentation in its center (No. 4). The female insect of this species of moth is curious from the fact that she has no wings to fly with, and on that account looks like a fat grub, her large dimensions being due to the several hundred eggs she carries. When the caterpillar is about to become chrysalis, 1t weaves first a silken web to cover 1t; and the fe- male moth, in due course. crawls from her chrysars on to the web. and re- mains there. Then. in some mysteri- ous manner. her winged mate. while pursuing his flight, Is attracted to-

 INTERSTATE COMMISSION.
Former Attorney General to Porto Rico honored by Presidsnt-NeW Member Comes from . Die
 tlngulshed Family.

Oyster Bay, N. Y.-President Roose- welt has appointed James 8. Harlan Of Chicago member of the interstate commerce commission. MT. Harlan Is son of John M. Harlan, associate justice of the supreme court of the United States. He held for some time the position of attorney general of Porto Rico.
 In the appointment of Harlan as a member of the commission, President Roosevelt has honored Chicago and Illinois and the nation as much az the man who is to sit as representative of the people in the difficult task of adjusting railway rates and framing rules that shall be just to shippers and carriers alike. In the prime of his young manhood, MT. Harlan has been chosen to i'll a place of the great est importance to the business and transportation interests of the coun- try. That he is prepared to accept the responsibility with confidence is not altogether due to himself alone, for back of James s. Harlan is an an- cestral line whose blood is as good as the coutnry boasts.
 His forebcars were patriots who. in legislative halls and on the field Of battle, fought for the liberties of the nation. His father, soldier and 1urist, is now a member of the most distin- guished tribuanl of the world; his brothers stand preeminent in the com munity. There is no taint in the liar Ian blood.

I answer: On the leaves and stems of almost every plant that grows; for 1t is, indeed. favored plant that is not the prey of one or more insects in their larval or cater. pillar stage.
 It is important for the reader to bear in mind the actual size of these eggs relative to other objects. and that the photographs which illustrate this article represent them very much larger than their natural sixe.-as we should see them with the suggested increase in our power of vision: that Is. they are shown in the pictures at least 25 diameters larger than their natural sise.

 The Sophomore was drawing his hands leisurely out of the pockets of his trousers, and reluctantly slowing away under his arm small Greek lex icon, a textbook of Aristotle, and an English translation.

 James 8. Harlan is hoosier. He was born at Evansville. Ind, Novem- Der 24, 1861, but the foundations of his education were laid in Kentucky. his early schooling being at Louis. vile. In 1883 he graduated from Princeton university. and then studied in the law school of Columbia univer- sity. From 1884 until 1888 he was in the offices of Melville w.

What wonders nature holds in store for the observer in the summer time. There IS the world that unfolds to the naked eye and beyond 1t lies another world of inf1nitisimal beings which can only be studied and appreciated through the aid of the microscope. And with one which will magnify about 25 diameters, one can discover unexpected and novel features, and innumerable details which the unaid- ed sight would be unable to see.
 In the outdoor world, the most start ling discoveries can be made, and every insect, leaf, and flower will have wonders of It's own to reveal.
