Now the atheist believes there is Rock He sees a
foundation In tho earth he detects great prevalent

who lays that foundation and who makes that
law, and who therefore must be in all the very best
meanings Of the word, the Rock. There is to him
nothing fundamental, nothing surprisingly strong,
nothing permanent, nothing to protect no final and

there is such Rock but that He is far out Of human

There are thousands of minute para
site insects, which destroy those of
larger size; but in the general neglect of
chronological science they have been
overlooked, and their value to man is
little more than guessed at. Ninety nine
persons in hundred in finding one of
the common green tobacco or tomato
worms infested with parasites would
crush it, while the healthy specimens
might be passed unnoticed. Now, O
well known parasitic fly attacks these
worms, as they are called, although they
are properly the larve of the five spotted
sphinx, o large moth frequently found
flying around at night. The fly deposits
hcr eggs in the larvae, where they
feed upon the flesh between the skin and
vital parts, never entering the latter, as
this would kill the victim too soon for
their purpose. When the larvae of the
fly attains its maturity, it comes out upon
the SURFACE, and there spins itself n small
white cocoon OF gOssamer fneness, these
cocoons being fastened to the skin by
one end standing erect, and of course
quite conspicuous, would consequently
attract the eye of any one looking for
worms. Such infested specimens should
never Ee Injured, because they are sure
to die, and the parasites, if left to them
selves, will continue the good work of
destruction.


The green cabbage worm, which has
made such fearful ravages during the
past half dozen years, is now rapidly
disappearing under the attacks of
similar parasite, which has followed
these pests from their home in Europe.
By knowing the habits of the various
species of insects, as well as their enc
mics, we are frequently enabled to com
bat them successfully; otherwise our
efforts to destroy are of no avail.
