Butterfly Sounds.

@NE does not think of butterflies a.
W making any sounds. nor of cater
pillars as noisy creatures, yet the care
full student will find some use for his
ears in observing the habits of both.
Certain species of butterflies produce
sound during certain movements. The
whip butterfly, when surprised.
makes a noise like the snap of a lash.
by opening and shutting its wings in
quick succession. Some alternating
butterflies. when disturbed. make
faint Kissing sound by slowly depress-
ing and raising their wings. The noise
thus produced resembles that made by
blowing slowly through closed teeth.
Other sounds resemble the friction OF
sandpaper.
large number of caterpillars make
sound by striking the head against the
leaf on which they are resting or by
swinging the head from side to side.
catching the mandibles in the rough
ness of the leaf or on the silken
threads spun upon it. 1t is said that
certain kind of chrysalis. when dis
turbed. emits a slight. sharp chirp or
clicking noise.

Even for a total abstainer. phy.ss

The act creating the board provided
to be designated by the Secretary OF

without additional pay.
The Secretary appointed as its chair

named as secretary of the board. and
upon his shoulders and his assistants
fall the details of the office and the
execution of the directions of the
board.
antines, the satisfactory disinfecting OF
cotton, the agreements with foreign
countries on especial subjects. the clos
ing of the foreign markets against
plants, seeds and samples have not been
attained without mature thought and
action by the board: nor without CO.
operation on the part Of the federal de-
partments-the Treasury. through its
customhouses. the Post Office; the In
terror, through the bureau Of stand
ards and the State, through its con.
sular Offices: nor has the plant inspec-
tion service of the states been lacking.
At first the restrictions were very en-
barrassing to the importers, but the
board has recognized their troubles
and they. in turn. appreciating the rea-
sonableness of the demands, have ac-
cepted the situation. and with few ex-
ceptions are very willing to render all
possible assistance in excluding any
thing which will injure the countrys
interest.
That this is not small thing these
figures from nursery stock importatlone

his crop is wanted here; but the board
says: NO diseased stock may be

Accordingly, this working plan has
been agreed upon between the two
countries; Canada may send potatoes
free from injurious disease and insect
pests to ports of entry designated by
this country On arrival the tubers
are examined by federal inspectors, and
if found to be infected are returned
to the consignors at their expense. Po-

canker having broken out in Great
Britain, Germany ana Austro-Hunga gary,
the department issued it's proclama-
tion forbidding absolutely the impor-
tation of potatoes from other coun-

Another thing which the board is
fighting is the importation OF any
nursery stock which carries the white
pine blister rust, tree disease de-
structive of both ornamental and for
est pines.
This blight may be carried by all five
leaved pines from Europe, Asia, Canada
and Newfoundland and all gooseberries

sight of the board is extended to regu-
late the entry of all woody and certain
other plants and seeds imported
Nearly all European and some other
foreign countries maintain rigid in
spection service of their nursery stock,
and importations from those places
are allowed on permits issued to the
importer by the department of agricul-
ture. This involves certificate by the
foreign inspection service that the
plants are free from disease and insect
pests. whereupon they are admitted
through the customhouses, and may
be sent to any state in the Union.
The plants, however, are not free for
delivery, for nearly every state main
tains an inspection service which calls
for the examination of all imported
seeds and plants The results of the
inspection are reported by the state
examiners to the board, together with
the action. which in case of serious
pest or disease is the destruction of
the plants.
This state inspection is generally
very thorough, and may be enforced by
the board if not kept up to the stand
ard, by establishing quarantine
against the products of that state.
No importations of seeds or plants are
permitted from countries which do not
maintain an inspection service. except
in yerv small quantities for expert
mental purposes, and then the board
will grant a special permit upon which.

There are only four of these fumi-
eating tanks in the country, one at
each of the four ports of entry for cot
ton-New York. Newark. n. J.: Boston
and San Francisco. They are under
private ownership and are run as a
business proposition, a charge being
made for each bale of cotton sterilized.
The plant at Newark was built for it's
owners accommodation by one of the
great manufacturers located there, as
he uses vast quantities of the Egyptian
product in making spool cotton.
Although privately operated, these
tanks are under the closest of gov
ernment inspection. The bales must
be left in the receiving chambers

be of positive strength; the appli-
ances and chemicals tested and every
precaution must be taken to evacuate

One shipment of the infested cotton
seed-and it is believed to be the only
one-is known to have entered this
country, and that was before the quar-
antine was eSta bliShed This lot was
taken to Arizona. where a state quar-
antine was in force; the infestation
was detected and the whole lot burned.
1t is believed that the pink pest has
not succeeded in running the blockade.

antined all cotton seed from foreign
countries, and has intercepted several

one of the reasons why a purely tao

is of prime Importance to military his
tory And the pith of the whole sit

no more than an extension OF the
