MOTH PROVES ITS SHARPNESS
English Pest Has Found q Way Il
Foil Defensive Efforts Of Fruit
Growers.

England's winter moth is one OF
the greatest pests with which the
fruit growers Of that country have to
contend. 1t begins to appear in Octo.
Der, and the female, whose wings are
very short and quite unadapted ia
fight, climbs the trunks of the fruit
trees and deposits her eggs. These
hatch out in the spring, and the cater
pillars soon devour the young leaves.
Heretofore it has been comparatively
easy to combat the ravages Of the
pest. Seeing that the female Is un-
able to fly, fruit growers place bands
Of a sticky substance around each
tree. The female, in climbing the
trunks, comes to the band and Is hello
fast.
But a wonderful thing has happened,
says the Manchester (England) Guard.
ian. In recent years the female moth
has been found from time to time
above the band, and how she got
there was q mystery. Finally, how
ever, an entomologist expert unveiled
It. He saw the male and female
moths together above the band on
the tree-the male evidently having
just deposited the female.
There appears to be little doubt,
adds the Manchester Guardian. that
in this we have . remarkable adapta-
ton to circumstances. The female
cannot fly. but the male can. and it
would seem that he had flown to the
higher part of the tree, carrying his
wife upon his back. This Is one Of
the most striking discoveries In nat
ural history and il creating much In.

USED TO LIFE OF HARDsHIPs
People Of Alaska Make Light Of Deeds
That Seem Little Lees than
Marvellous.

Alasi1ns, probably like other pio-
neer peoples, are so much accustomed
to perils and hardships of various
kinds that many deeds Of reckless
hardihood pass practically unnoticed
which in the States would receive
much acclaim. A case in point was
the act Of Miss Ella Fleming last Feb
ruary in risking her life upon the
treacherous seas of Prince William
Sound while searching for her father,
w. H. Fleming. the owner of Fleming
Island, and her sweetheart, Harry
Jones, the latter well known among
western college men as former star
OF the Washington university football
team. Fleming, accompanied by
Jones, left Fleming Island in a power
boat to deliver two blue foxes to Guy
Whitehead, owner of q big fox ranch
on knights Island. The engine broke
down and a high wind carried away
their only sail. The boat finally drift
ed on to the rocks of Montague Island
where the men lived on clans for two
days until they succeeded in improvis-
ing boat from the wreckage and drift
timber found upon the beach. Their
only tool was jack knife. Nails,
which were driven with stones, were
secured by burning them from the
wrecked timbers Of the power boat,
while sea grass was used for caulking.
With this boat they reached Green
Island after rowing II hours.
In the meantime Miss Fleming be-
came alarmed at their failure to return
and despite the high wind and heavy
sea then running launched small row.

landing at La Touche. rs miles away,

"Osborne's ideas may work out ell
right" said Fitch, "but whenever

ties and rainbow teas in his peniten-

hands, and was anxious to get rid Of
them, for they were heavy RESPONSE

said to the jailer one day, Just acci-

But times were hard and picking
up a living outside wasn't so easy.

did when he came back that evening
