harmless or even beneficial. The repre-
sentation of the cOddlfng moth, one of
Mrs. Heidemanns most notable artistic
achievements, displays opaesque tints in
the wings of striking beauty. Yet, as is
we'll known, this creatu is a veritabe
scourge to the fruit grower. its worms
proving cankers especially destructive to
the apple crops of the country. The part
played by the moth in this wise is illus
trated in the collection by a huge model
of an apple, or rather of half the fruit,
showing the larva of the insect engaged
in its work of devastation therein. The
apple model is of papier mache, and the
worm is fashioned of plaster of paris.
Next to this model one notices that Of
the cotton boil weevil, the depredations of
which have wrought such havoc to the
cotton crops of the south, and to the
graduating of which the experts Of the
bureau of entomology have devoted sudh
untiring study and effort. In the greatly
enlarged model the weevil, which resem-
bles mammoth spider, is seen to be pro-
vided with a formidable boring apparatus
projecting from its head like the pictured
horn upon the fabulous unicorn. 1t is
with this appendage that the creature at
lacks the cotton, boring it's way into the
boil and preying upon the fluffy mass in

The average person bitten by mos
quito would even il he got an unusually
good view of his tiny assailant, probably
be unable to determine whether the latter
was an anopholes, and therefore a ma
lignant disease carrier, or merely a fes-
tive singing insect Of purely playful pro-
clivities. But. portrayed by the models
of Mrs. Heidemann, the three varieties of
mosquitoes are seen to possess quite dis
tinctive anatomical characteristics. There
is the so-called Singing mosquito
whose nocturnal music is probably one
of the most mathematical bits of music
in all creation. This bug, whose general
''peskiness is the worst that has been
urged against it by the scientist, is OBJ
served to be the ugliest of the mosquito
family, with its unsightly body and hor-
ribly spotted legs. BY its side the dread
anopholes, which has been credited with
the spread of fever, is a spruce-looking
insect. Amy insect of the size of these
mosquito models might well carry con-
sternation into the stoutest heart, for the
smallest Of them is more than twice the

GONE wise man once said that it took
q hundred years of complaint and
agitation to bring about the reform
of any old established institution in Eng
land. no matter how Anticipated and un-
suitable for the conditions of the day it
might be. 1t has taken more than hun
dred years of complaint to bring about a
reform of the method of appointing JUS
tices of the peace, but at last the authori-
ties seem to be awake to the anomalies
and absurdities of the present method and
they have appointed a royal commission
TO find out what is the matter with 1t
and suggest a remedy.
Now the justices OF the peace-they are
known as j. P.'s-are about the most i'm
snortant men in the rural community.

Unlike the chinch, the lady bug. or

the country how it is perhaps the most
effective enemy to the depredations OF the

the peach orchards in different parts OF

inmates it without mercy. 1t is crafty

lord chancellor usually makes his ap-

know exactly what will happen when

Another Deal Closed.

This week MT. William Murphy, of Harshaw, this county, sold to Captain William McGee, of this city, a one half interest in group of mining claims situated in the Harshaw mining district. The claims are in a good district, and have every appearance of becoming mines with proper development work, which will be done under Mir. Murphy's personal direction. Billie" as his personal friends call him, is one of the best prac- tical miners in southern Arizona, having for a number of years been in charge of operations at thegreat Worlds Fair silver-gold bonanza in the Harshaw district, owned by Mir. and Mrs. Frank Powers.

Last month he and his associates received a substantial first payment on the Silver Queen group of four claims adjoining the World Fair mine, the lucky purchasers being the Douglas-Arizona and Sonora De- velopment Company, recently or ganized here by Messrs.
