the female, it is nearly half an inch
In length, or, about fifth longer than
the body. In the male, it is two-thirds
as long as the body. The pygidium,
or last abdominal segment, of the male
is deeply concave with the concavity
smooth and shining and surrounded by
a rim of silken hairs. This peculiar
character enables the species to be
separated very readily from all other
members of the genus.
This species seems to attack only
the acorns of the biennial oaks and
in my collecting has always been
found more abundant on red oak than
on any other tree. The acorns which
it attacks are late in maturing and
the beetles are CORRESPONDENCE late in
appearing.

REGULATE SEX
OF CHICKEN
Scientists Have Been Studying for
Years to Discover Law and
Undoubtedly IL Would Be
Boon to PouItrymen.

For years the scientists have been
trying to discover the law that regu-
lates sex. Undoubtedly the discovery
would be a great boon to poultry
keepers. To have the farm over-run
with cockerels when carly pu.lots are
wanted is annoying, and 1t is not sur
prising that any system purpovting to
regulate the sex is eagerly tried by
breeders. We have heard it claimed
that the pointed eggs Matched pullets
and the round ones cockerels, and
then again the opposite is claimed.
Others claim that the location of the

Away up in Klamah county, Ore.
the lumber industry is maintained on
very extensive scale Many of these
heavy timber belts are remote from
either railway lines, or even logging"
roads. Huge logging" carts are ex-
tensively used In these regions in
hauling the big heavy saw cuts from
the forest depths to the various mills,
where they are reduced to lumber.
They are all two-wheeled. and con-
structed so as to sustain a very heavy
weight. The wheels are about IL
feet In diameter, length of axletree
feet. The hub, spokes, axletree and
felloes are all built of very tough,
solid wood-usually of oak or hickory:
however. the tire Is of thick broad
steel
The log, or logs, are suspended to
the axletree by heavy chain, and
nearly balanced-the hind ends barely
dragging, so as to greatly reduce the
force in hauling Horses and oxen
are both used In this logging business,
and as many animals as may be re-
quired may be attached to one cart.
The wheels are SO large that they
move with comparative ease over
large distractions, and along very
rough, mountainous roads 1t would
be next to impossible to carry on the
lumber industry In those wild regions
without the use OF these huge logging
carts, as they are called. These carts
are the largest vehicles of the kind
on the Pacific coaster perhaps in
the United States The cart alone
weighs nearly a ton.
