No Broxn.Tall Moth, Here.

Capt. E. e. Philbrook Of Portland,
who Is engaged in the work of the state
agricultural department In suppressing
the brown-tail moth, was in town last
week. As there was strong suspicion
that there were some of the moths in
Norway, he was sent there to investigate,
and while in this vicinity made pretty
thorough examination OF the trees here.
especially those near the railroad, which
would be most likely to be infested.
Capt. Philbrook gives the Democrat
the pleasing information that neither at
South Paris nor at Norway did he find
any signs of the moth. He says, how
ever, that at Oxford, near the railroad
station, there were found last spring a
few nests. That is the only place in
Oxford County, so far as known, where
any of the moths have ever been found,
and as that was only a small colony, and
prompt work was done on 1t, it is to be
hoped that it has been disposed of.
Capt. Philbrook says that in only four
places in the state have the moths in
creased since last spring. One of those
places is Kittery, where the increase is
due to an invasion from Portsmouth
across the river, New Hampshire having
done nothing during the year toward
them. In three other cities
in the state there has been an increase,
due to the indifference of the people
and the unwillingness of tree owners to
do anything toward clearing their own
trees, under the mistaken impression
that the pest will in time stake care of
ITSELF" In the rest of the state there
has been a perceptible diminution of
the pest. In Portland, which was quite
badly infested, the number has been
reduced about one-half.
The work of suppression must be kept
up, of course. The state of Massa-
has spent nearly million dol
lars fighting the brown-tail and gypsy
moths, and yet they are to-day about as
bad as they ever we're, because the state
got tired and sat down to rest. In Maine
the work will undoubtedly be continued,
and in those sections like Oxford COun-
ty where they have not yet appeared, a
close watch should be kept to see that
they do not gain a foothOld.

Looking Into a Crater.

DR.. Hi. Bjoren has looked into tho
crater of a volcano while its forces
were still threatening, and while its
fires we're still incandescent. He
scaled the cone of Vesuvius and
peered into the depths of the new
crater. From the throat of the crater
he writes that he heard constant
roaring, and saw that white cloud Of
vapor filled the huge hollow, but did
not see any elections of stones or
dust. The inner walls of the crater
were nearly perpendicular partly
overhanging, and he saw pieces OF
the narrow crater edge breaking
down, and in this way still enlarg.
ing the oriflce. The bottom of the
crater was not visible, but the walls
could be seen to a depth Of about
1000 feet. The ascent from Tore
DELI Annunziata demanded care to
avoid avalanches of stones and ashes
still rushing from the cone and
spreading over the slopes. The erup-
ton of 1906 resembles that of 70,
which buried Herculaneum and Pom
peii, in the small quantity of lava
elected and the immense amount OF
volcanic ash and lapilli.

ALL THEIR DAYS ON STILTs
Peculiar Existence Led by Residents
of the Turpentine District
of France.

People live on 16.foot stills in the
remarkable turpentine-gro coun.
try OF France. They don these stills
after breakfast and do not remove
them again until 1t is time for bed
There are two reasons for the
wearing of stills in the turpentine
country. One is the turpentine gath
ering. The other Is the herding of
the great flocks.
The turpentine comes from the
maritime pine. This tree is tapped
a single is inserted and from the
single Is hung tiny bucket, into
which the turpentine drips. The tap.
ping process is like that used on the
American sugar maple.
Young pine trees are tapped low
but with each years passage the Incl
sion is made higher, so that It is not
long before most of the trees are
tapped 20 or 80 feet from the ground
Hence the huge stills of the work
men. On these stills they traverse
the fiat country, covering five or six
yards with each stride, and quickly
that overtlows the little buckets
hanging high UP in the trees.
1t is for herding also that the stills
are useful. The country is very fiat,
and the herdsman, unless he contin.
ually climbed a tree, would be unable
to keep all the members of his huge
flock in sight. But, striding about
on his stills, he commands a wide
prospect. He is always, as It were,
upon a hill.
The silt wearers carry a 15-foot
staff with a round, fat top like a
dinner plate. When it is lunch time
or when they are tired they plant
upright under them the staff and sit
down on its round, fiat top. Then in
comfort, seated so dizzily high, they
eat and rest and chatter--a strange
sight to behold.

While firmness and decision are
most necessary to this raining, do
not for a moment forget that love,
sympathy and gentleness must go
with It; but not with such lavishness
as to prove a drawback. To be too
constantly in each others society Is
not good for either mother or child.
Under these circumstances, from
constant association the child will
impose upon the mother; 1t becomes
exacting, peeyish, while the mother,

FRANKS OF ELECTRIC FLUID
Remarkable Instances on Record of
Peculiar Doings of Strokes
of Lightning.

Lightning is the most 'freakish phe-
nomenon known. A record has been
kept by NJ. Camille Falmmarion, the
well-known writer, of some of the most
remarkable incidents of thunderstorms,
and he has come across cases where
the lining of a garment has been
burned entirely off by lightning,
while the main material has remained
uninjured.
Sometimes the current strikes q
man dead without leaving the faintest
mark upon him; or 1t may completely
undress him without hurting him.
On enc occasion lightnirr struck the
entrance pavilion of the Prince Eugene
barracks in Paris, just as the soldiers
were going to bed. All the men who
were lying down suddenly found them
selves standlng-quite involuntarily-
while all who were standing were
thrown violently to the floor.
very frequent prank of lightning
Is the complete shaving Of a mans
head-hair, beard and everything.
There is on record one case of a girl
having her head entirely denuded of
hair, including eyebrows and eye
lashes, without SO much as feeling the
shock. Indeed, she did not know for
some time what had happened.
