shown that specimen will spin about seventy

But 1t is deemed likely that the caterplars with the

winds which act In the way upon leaves or pieces

Sr HE Government Bureau of Entomology has inst
CHANGED upon very curious discovery, which
seems to throw light upon what has hitherto
been puzze-namely the appearance Of small gypsy
moth colonies in widely scattered sparsey setted parts
OF New England far away from any line of automobile or
other travel.
This until now seemed impossible explain ina smuch
as the female gypsy moth cannot fly, and the insect
must therefore be carried in order pass rapidly over
considerable distances
The solution Of the problem to lie in the fact
that the caterbllarsthough devoid wings of course
ARE themselves waited through the air, with the help
of numerous tiny balloons.
These balloons. which had never excited notice are
small dubious expansions of the hairs grow on the
back OF the caterpillar and it is thought least likely
that they are filled with lighter than air.
With any sort Of breeze blowing the balloons give
the caterpillar enough buoyancy to enable it to Fly"
over long distancesa fact which has been definitely
proved by setting in various places on the
tops OF towers in ponds far out from shore etc. COW
cred with tanglefoot mixture to catch any of the
creatures when they might happen to come blowing
along These experiments resulted in the capture Of
many caterpillars.

days ago. The missionary author is
a short man with sandy hair, beard

Crawford on his arrival, 81 never wore

A quarter OF a. century ago was a

Blacks q Magnificent Race.
II found the black men In Africa a
magnificent race, Mr.. Crawford con-
tnued. IT settled among the Luban
tribes. There are about million of
these people. They speak a wonderful
language, which It took me years to
learn There are twenty-three lenses
OF the verb and the noun has nineteen
genders. / translated the Bible into
the Luban language and also wrote
grammar, which. incomplete though 1t
is. gives q pretty good idea Of the

Every few" he replied, "and It may
interest you to know that there is no
such thing as a female cannibal. Al
though the men may eat human flesh
the women Of the same tribe never do.
The women are further advanced than
the men and they band together to pro
tect themselves from man the mon
ster.' Yes, the movement for equal
suffrage is probably stronger in Cen
tral Africa than anywhere In the
world"
Advised Against Conversion.
''And were you able to convert these
people to Christianity?
'The tribesmen with whom made
my residence were ready to profess
Christianity, but / dissuaded them
from it. They would have been but
nominal Christians, and feared that
a change Of faith would result in their
destruction. Unless you have seen
them as they are you can have but
faint conception Of these black men in
their natural state. The civilized
blacks have picked up all your vices
and few Of your virtues. But the negro
under natural conditions possesses
culture of his own. He has a definite
and delightful code Of etiquette"
Mr. Crawford said that after his
visit to this country was over he would
return to Africa to live again among
the people with whom he has chosen
to spend the greater part OF his life.
