In fact, some or the butterfly farm
ei's most enthusiastic customers are
found among British schoolboys, who
are catered for with a special line of
assorted. unset lcpldoptera' at a
shilling q dozen.
No order Is too small for the breeder
of butterflies. Heis as willing to pro-
vide a single specimen as TO stock
one of the parks OF the London County
Council, q suggestion which has aleady
been under consideration.
And how does Mr., Head house his
stock? Here, again, one meets ingen-
uity in eXcelsis. Most of the caterpil-
lars remain in the open, where Mr.
Head has provided them with q lux
urious feeding ground, planted with
moro than 1000 plants, particularly
adapted for food. Here they are per-
mitted to browse in sections, so that
one batch OF trees Is enabled to recover
from the effects of the gastroninic on
slaught while the other is under tri-
butte,
When the caterpillar has taken upon
OF butterfly or moth, 1t goes into
more protective quarters. There are
two glass houses. the larger is hun
bred feet long, and the smaller, which
is extremely hot and Is used as the
winter quarters of tho insects, thirty
feet.
These are filed with all kinds of
favorite flowers in a perpetual state of
blossom. These flowers arc painted
with honey twice every day, and the
many hued insects thrive glorlously on
these ngeniously-applied spells from
the bee. Water IS supplied them in

the form of spray, which is forced into
their great wire cages by the aid of y
syringe.
Rare caterpillars, leading the open-air
life. are protected from the ndscrinl
mating bealis of maraudins birds by
wiTe netting. Eggs. however. are not
permitted to take this risk, but are
matched under cover
When the caterpillar decides to be-
come a cllrysalis lie is placed in a box,
and the box is hung from q tree
wrapped in protective shroud of cali
co. Yet the adventurous sparrowR OF
Scarborough have solved the problem
of how to extract Il somnolent cater
pillar from its calico shroud The NOR
tally is sometimes enormous.
The art of butterfly breeding is not
childs play Mr.. Head Is obliged To
work 30 hours out OF every "a during
the summer OF the year, and the win
ter permits but little more time for
leisure. The work Is healthy. and is al
ways interesting, and although the
profits, after the great expenditure OF
labor. are not great, they are sufficient
to place butterfly breeding on a sound
financial basis.-PearSon's

BREEDS BUTTERFLIES.
Strange Occupation of Patient
Farmer of England.

Mans ingenuity has many strange
things to answer for, but, surely, the
strangest of all must be the flvc-acrc
farm which has been laid out near
Scarborough for the express purpose of
breeding butterflies.
The exact address Is Burniston, and
the name OF the exceedingly patient
farmer is Mr.. II. w. Head. For five
and twenty years Mr.. Head has been
studying the cultivation of the cater
pillar and, for a long time past, has
commercialized his vast knowledge.
But it is only within very recent
times that Mr.. Heads clientele has
been extended enough to justify his
present novel undertaking.
The name of Head has long been
familiar one with collectors of the
lepidoptera. There are more who con-
fess to this costly hobby than the lay
man wots Of. Every year Mr.. Head
rears and sells upward of 10000 butter
flies and moths, many of his finest
specimens going abroad.
This large total Is made up Of 4 thou
sand differen species ranging from
common ca bage flies to the costliest OF
Moon moths. or Camberwell Beauties,
sold at prices varying from a few cop
pers to S or 10 pounds
Mr.. Head sees great results from
hybridization of butterflies. So far
his experiments In this direction have
been extremely successful Weird COM
binatons in color, with curious pat
Jennings, like oriental carpets, and
strange vagarles of shape, promise new
and startling species, which are calcu-
lated to stir collectors into an activity
OF excitement. and promise future

.RICHFIELD ELECTRIC LIGHT
AND POWER COMPANY.

He Richfeld Electric Light and
Power company comes before the
people Of Richheld once more in
short, retrospective View of its past
four and a half years, giving the best
service it could under stress and OPP
position which few public utility COM
panies have had to endure. With O
patronage which would have disheart-
ened less persistent company and
manager the machines have been kept
in motion during the period of the
company's activity, and always with
opposition from the men who were do
ing least to help make tho service the
best in the state. It has been the OBJ
ject of the manager to give this city
the best lighting system In the state,
but haInpered by a scanty patronage
and innumerable other difficulties the
company has had to struggle along
with less success than it hoped for.
This company was instituted in 1904.
At that time the city had just completed
Its excellent waterwurKs system and
was bonded to the limit a cry was go
ing up among the progressive citizens
for an electric light system. The city
was tied and could not install a mum
icipal plant. Investors came and were
discouraged with the outlook. There
was no available water power within
reach of the city and there was only
the prospect OF installing steam sys-
tenn Tho distance from fuel sup
ply promised great expense in the
generating of light. This made inves-
tors hesitate.
After various propositions had been
sprung and al had fallen through.
Thomas Brown arrived In Richfeld on
tour of inspection for available wat
er power sites In this part OF the state.
He had the promise Of influential men
who would put in the capital II good
power site could be secured. He inyes-
tigated Monroe canyon. SEWER canyon,
and Jericho point These propositions
all appealed to him as available, but
they We're all expensive propositions.
On returning to Salt Lake City he be-
gan to Investigate the capital which
had been promised. After wasting the
greater part of the spring and early
summer and finding that available cap
ital for the enterprise was not likely to
be raised by the men who had prom

a dividend of 1G per cent since incor-

extends from Salina on the north to
Panguitch on the south; in fact it gets
nearly all of the patronage from the
Escalante country. In many ways it
is ono of the strongest banks in the

So Declares Wisconsin Supreme Cour,
In a Decision.

Madison, Wis. Sept. 30.-The en-.
preme court Tuesday declared as un-
constitutional the Wisconsin eight
hour railroad telegraphers' law, which
was enacted a. the 1907 session of the
legislature. The law Is declared un-
constitutional on the theory that 1t is
In conflict with the provisions Of the
federal constitution which clothes con.
gress with the power to regulate inter
state commerce and further on the
theory that congress having already
provided a law fixing the hours of rail
way telegraphers from . to 13 hours.
1t was not within the power Of the
state to enact law which would In
effect change these hours of labor
In effect the decision is one of the
most far reaching of the court, as it
practically prohibits the state enact
ing laws relating to the hours of labor
on inter railroads as long as there is
