Dr. l.. O. Howard, chief of the bur eau of entomology. department of az
 riculture, has gone to the Crimea to visit the eminent Russian entomolo- gist, NJ. Mokhrshelsky. and confer with him about a parasite that preys upon the silk worm, the Russian having re- gently discovered what he claims to be the natural enemy of the destruc- tive silk worm parasite. Dr. Howard is convinced that if the Russians dis covery is genuine. the way will soon be opened for a thriving silk industry in the United States. He left Washing ton armed with the necessary authori- zation to apply to the American em- bassy at St. Petersburg for assistance in procuring the privilege to export various breeds of parasites from Rus sio. from which he is hopeful of ob- taining one variety that will check the raVages of th" silk worms foe in this country. Experts declare that as soon as an effective method for the preser- vation of the silk worms lif, Is dis covered. silk manufacturing in the [ nited States will become q very im- portant industry.

DOES PAROLE SYSTEM HELP?

Pris 'nerS in Ihs courts "i Illinois. as well aS o;tcr states. are sentenced for an indetermindte period. limited only by the ma Ximum and the minimum terms fixed by the law for that par ticular o.ense. and the board of par dons is authorized to release prisoners on rarole within that period. rcCurs m The Tragedy of the Released Con Nict." in the June Everybody's

RELICS OF FRANKLIN.

In the rear of the Philadelphia li- brary, is beautifully planted plot of ground. which is overlooked by a porch at the rear of the building. to which access is through the French windows of the library building. In the wall by the side of this porch Is the inscribed cornerstone, which bears tribute to the young artisans who founded the l- brary. at the suggestion of Benjamin Franklin. Nearby is the broken stone that once formed the insclibed part of the pedestal of Franklin's statue. Few visitors to the library appear to be aware of the existence of this spot or of it's interesting features.

There are sufficient people in Eng land and Scotland paying the annual tax imposed by the inland revenue upon the use or armorial bearings to produce sum of S350.000 each year.

Libert E street, begun suit against the North German Lloyd Steamship company for S25O.O0O damages because of the action of Capt. H. Morgenstern and the doc tor Of the steamship KOenigin Luise in burying over the side Mrs. Prentice. who died at sea.
 Mrs Prentice, with her daughter. was on the way from Italy 10 New York. the steamer having sailed from Genoa on April 1S On April 2 Mrs. Prentice, who. it was said. had been suffering from a serious affection, died in her berth. Her daughter insisted on having the body of her mother em- balmed and conveyed to this port. Dr. II. Leber. the ships physician. who. it was said. took counsel with the royal Italian commissioner. who looks after the comfort and safety of immigrants. advised Capt. Morganstern that the body could not be kept on the ship.

BOOKS CONNECTS READ.

What kind of books do convicts read? Contrary to the general belief this class of men. at least in the fed eral prison at LeavenwOrth. do not show a marked desire for the blood and thunder" stories. DOT even for oth- TT light fiction. The most popular books among the prisoners in the 700O- volume library Of the penitentiary are textbooks and works on the various trades and languages. Among the languages Spanish is the most popular and in the last few years several pri- soners have taught themselves to read and write the language The text books upon French and German come next in popularity. and these. as the Spanish books. are always out of the library
 The trade books are even more pop ular than the works on languages. and those upon plumbing and engineering especially are often spoke for months 1T, advance. The demand for books on hlacksmitning brick laying. stone set ting and other artisan labors are al- ways out of the library. Many of the prisoners are excellent Workmen as the new buildings which ale being built by convict labor indicate.
 Books of poetry and the standard novels are read by the prisoners 10 great extent. and the mathematical works are always in demand Many of the prisoners read Shakespeare. and the works Of Bryant. Longfeliow and Whittier have many admirers. Dick ems Is a popular author often asked for. Robert Louis. Stevenson's novels find many friends among the con victs. as do the works of Edgar Allen Poe. It is not unusual for prisoners to ask for books upon theology. X prisoner is allowed to take book from the library for two weeks at a time. If no other prisoner desires it then. he may have the time extended another two weeks. Dozens of the pei soners subscribe for newspapers and Among these aIe many technical journals.
