NATURALSTS TALK
OF MANY SUBJECTS
Army Worm, Spider Plant
and Empress Tree Dis
cuSSiOnS Interest
NEW MEMBERS
IN THE SOCIETY

Attended by a large number OF
members the Society of Natural His
tory of Delaware held its first fall
meeting last night in Science Hall.
Cool Spring Park, Alfred d. Poole
presided.
The program for the evening proved
an especially interesting one, and in
cluded many informal talks on various
scientific subjects.
Among one of the most interesting
subjects discussed was the army
Worm and its moth. Frank Jones. en-
tomologist OF the society, spoke of the
governments experiments connected
with this species Of moth and told how
the experts colored the wings of the
moth in order to learn the extent of its
flight.
Another interesting speaker was
Miss Mary r.. deVou, who is a mem
Der of the committee on botany for the
society.
Miss deVou spoke especially OF a
spider plant, winch flowers beautifully,
and which as a garden flower is becom.
ing very popular in Wilmington. Miss
deNou also told of seeing a birdsfoot
violet, which is supposed TO bloom twice
year in May and July.
\. ID. Poole told of the success of the
propagating farm, where ring pheasant
ana different species of fowl are raised.
/ II is also the aim of this farm to see
that the game laws are enforced to the
letter.
A talk on "Bird Sanctuares" by Mrs.
/ Lewis b. Morrow proved very interest
ing, and Mrs. Morrow spoke very feel
ingiy about the work done by the gov.
ernment toward saving the birds from
the cruelty of gunners, and for which
there are government reservations.
One OF the warmest discussions at the
meeting was concerning plant which
was found growing in inc stone wall OF
the Court House. II had been declared
by many persons that this plant was
merely the iimson weed, but a closer
study Of it by various members of the
society brought TO light the fact that
far from being a iimsOn weed, it was
what is scientifically known as the
Paulownia lmperialis, or Empress Tree
The society is much interested in th'
recently formed class of natural his
tory at the High School and it j.
thought that this is one of the biggest
steps toward promoting science in thii
city.
Several members were admitted to th'
society and il is thought that the work
TO be done by the society this year vii
be further advanced and include more
various subjects than ever before
Essentially, the aim Of the societ.
is to promote aud further scientific in
terests in Delaware and each membe
! of the society has guaranteed to pu
forth special efforts toward these ends

MUST REFUND PROBATE FEES
Recent Decisions Of Supreme Court
Will Make Counties DIsgorge

Since the supreme court de-
cision Knocking out the exor-
bitant fees collected by judges
of probate for the settlement of
estates practically every coun-
ty of the state must make a
special levy to reimburse the
heirs of estates that have been
settled during the past six
years. The probate judges
would turn the money over to
the treasurer and it would 60
into the general fund. AZ a
result the taxpayers got the
benefit and the levies have
been smaller. That the coun-
ties must disgorge and heirs
will get their fees back. Some
had paid under protest, others
willingly. but all will be re-
funded on demand. Che addi-
tional levy. will not be a hard
ship on the taxpayers as they
already used this money.
In some counties there is a
sufficient amount in the gener.
al fund to pay off the obliea-
tions. In others the special
levy will be necessary. In
some counties it is being made
as A special for that specific
purpose. In others it 10 mere
ly added to the general fund. -
