1t was as n means to quick and

the growth of the system to require
that subscribers should be called by

That the brown tail moths are
brought to Maine from Massachusetts
by the Boston steamers is shown by
the fact that the pests have been
caught by passengers on the steamers
coming from Boston up the Kennebec
river. 1t has also been learned in con-
nection with the above that the insects
SO taken are almost invariably males,
the fact being explained by the state
ment by people who have made z
study of the moth and its habits. that
the female moth flies higher than the
males and is therefore not so mucii
attracted by the lights at night.
