CURIOSITY OF INSECT LIFE
Caterpillar Found In New Zealand
Said to Change From Animal
to Vegetables

In looking through some old boxes
of mine a dayssor two ago I came
across, among other things, some
vegetable caterpillars and thought
that you might BE interested in hav-
ing some Of them as curios. As far
as I know, there2is no other place in
the world where these can be, got,
and only one or two places in New
Zealand, one Of which is Mamaka:
The natives theory is that the cater-
pillar lives on the rata tree, eats the
seed of this and dies from the effect,
falling off the tree to the ground,
where the seed terminates and, while
terminating, changes. the caterpillar
from animal to vegetable. This
theory has good many points in it's
favor, whether correct or otherwise !:
there is big caterpillar found on
the rata tree; these vegetable cater
pillars are never found under any
other tree than the rata The rata
starts as q small Fine which climbs
up some other tree in the bush
usually one Of the paae species) and
eventually kills it; 50 that the little
sprout from the head Of q caterpil-
lar might easily be the start Of rata
tree, although ! have never got the
caterpillar with i sprout on it more
than 4 foot long p. Il. Mcdonald.

NEW YORK. Aug. 5.-The pres
ence in outer New York harbor OF a
phantom rum pirate, which pounccs
on liquor smugglers by night and
joshes the prohibition navy by day,
was revealed to customs officials
when the United States rum scout
Taylor returned to port today. after
trying for week TO capture this
modern Captain Kidd.
Numerous tales of the escapades
OF the mystery ship. which has
thrown CONSERVATION into tho fleet
OF nondescript craft engaged in
coastwlse liquor smuggling, were
brought in by the crew OF the
Taylor.
Name OF Craft Unknown.
The name OF tho craft Is unknown,
for mono OF its Victims or pursuers
has seen single mark of identifi-
cation on her mist gray hull. Her
lines were described ms those OF a
high speed cruiser. over sixty fcet
in length and propelled BY two noise
less gasoline motors. which send
her skipping out of danger when
she is approached by an inquisitive
visitor.
The pirate captain Is said TO be
a daredevil disciple OF the Captain
Kidd he cmulates, his crew of eight
are an armed gang of reckless out
laws. who carry automatic pistols
Instead OF cutlasses. and drink Ba-
hama whisky instead of Jamaica
rum.
ntpsS
Their craft hovers Just outside tho
twelve-mile limit, AT tho end of tho
ocean lane travelled by tugs. schoon-
ers. trawlers and yachts engaged In
hauling liquor from Nashau, Ba-
hamas. and st. John. Nova Scotia. to
New York and New Jersey
An advance OF the pirates method
was rccited by q member of the
Taylor's crew as follows:
y smuggling craft was anchored
outside In the safety OF the 1o-mile
limit. waiting for the speedy harbor
launch which would transfer its cargo
OF imported liquor TO waiting boot
lcggers ashore. Suddenly and silent
~ the pirate ship appeared out OF
the evening mist and drew along
sue itei Skipper DodTucu me an
chored vessel and hargained for the
purchase OF 200 cases OF whiskey.
When the liquor had hoen trans
fcrred from the hold OF one vessel to
the other, the pirate calmly stuffed
his roll out OF sight and leaned
aboard his own craft. The victimized
crew ran for their guns. When they
returned they found themselves look
Ing into the muzzles of eight auto
matte pistols. as the mystery ship
silently drove away into the dark
ness.
This quick disappearance act has
earned the pirate ship the name OF
Pelican" among those In the rum
running trade, ii was said. Numer-
Gus small Ehipa engaged In iegiti-
mate coastwiso trade have reported
to harbor police and customs officials
That they were boarded outside the
