A PARASITIC INSECT

Last fall I collected some co- coons of- the Cecropia Moth and tied the twigs to which they were attached, to the climbing Bitter- swcct on the verandah. Spring came and passed, with no action on the cocoons; so finally I opened the-m, and the cause came to view. There remained but the shell’ of the Cecropia pupa and beside it the shells of fifteen smaller pupae. The caterpillar of the cecropia had boon parssitized by some Ichnevmon Fly depositing its

eggs either 0n or under its skin;

and after the Cecropiu had as- sumed the pupal stage, the eggs. hatched into larvae which devour- ed their unfortunate host. 'I‘hen they too took on the pupal cover- ing and slept the winter away safe inside the big cocoon. '

The story was not finished. for this week I noticed a strange in- sect on the window-pane in the llvlllg room. A puff of fly-spray. and it was transferred to the mounting-board for examination. It was a hymenopterous (four- wingcd) fly, so I got down that invaluable Bulletin "The Hymenop- tera or Wasp-like Insects of Con- necticut," by H. L. Viereck, and slowly traced the insect out. At last I came upon it, the Ophion mncrurus of Linnaeus. This long- bodicd, straw-colored insect, I read, is a parasite of the Cecropia moth. Samia cecropia; and its size agreed with the smaller cocoons inside the hi: one. It has no popular name: not one insect in a thousand has.

There is a copy of Vierecks Bul- letin in our Public Library. and the student of entomology will find a drawing of OphiOn in the plates at the end.

ASTRONOMICAL NOTES Away to the eastward, about 9.30 in these early August nights, I see the "Great Square of Pegasus"

shining prominently in the darken- ‘

ed sky. ‘The Square consists of

four stars of about second magni- ‘ con- l

ture. three of them in the stcllationPcgasus. the fourth be- longing really to Andromeda. At present the Square seams to stand on one of its "points" or angles. which is Just a little way above the horizon. That lowest point is a somewhat duller star, called by gcnib", but known to modems by the old Arab astronomers “Al- ihc more prosaic name of Gamma Pegasi. All four stars have Arabic namesas may be seen in any good Star Atlas.

From time immcmorial the Fly- ing Horse, Pegasus, has symboliz- Pd the aspirations of the poet. Tennyson thus uscs it to typify the conflict between the spiritual and the bodily passions, in that remark- able poem "The Vision of Sinz"

“I had a vision when the night

was late:

A youth came riding toward a

palace gate.

He rode a horse with wings. that

would have flown,

But that his heavy rider kept

him down." .

And that, I take it, is a pretty general experience of mankind.

The old Greek legend putsitan- other way. When Perseus cut off the head of the monstrous Gor- gon, Medusa, her blood gave rise to or generated the winged horse Pegasus. Prince Beilerophon of Sphyra caught the beast, and sad- dled and bridled it; but on its ﬂight to the sky, he fell off i There is likely m be a svmbqllv mean- ing to all this; which I must leave to wiser heads.

The new Flnslerls comet is corn- ing in for a share of attention. Wasn't it Tom Hood who predicted many direful things upon an oc- casion of this sort? It was to be so warm that he "saw a roasting chicken sit upon some frying eggs!" Comets, these times, however. are not looked upon as harbingers of woe.

Here are some particulars of a typical comet. When it first comes into view, often a long way from the sun. it appears as a faint hazy cloud, sometimes with o. cen- tral brighter "nucleus", but with no tail as yet. At it nears the sun this head-the comambecomes more clearly defined, but not "sharp" in outline. Nearer to the sun the tail begins io grow, sometimes more than one; and the growth" attains its maximum as the comet swings round the sun. It is to be noted that the tail always points away from the sui-i, and does not follow the comet as the sparks follow a rocket. This is because the tail “is composed of minute particles of matter blown out from the nuc- leus by tyre pressure of radiation from the sun", says the Astronom- cr Royal. T. s radiaﬂon has been demonstrated to be the pressure exerted by light. I remember sce- ing in the show-window of Maw- son and. Swan's philosophic up- paratus store, in Nowcastle on Tyne, a tiny windmill in n vacuum tube or bulb, which revolved when the sunlight pressed upon it! And that light was comparatively weak, for it had travelled about 93.000,- 000 miles; while comets have been calculated to travel within 80,000 miles of the sun.

Comets are surprisingly light: sometimes a cnmnt will pass ncar a planet, and in that case the pull of the planet may divert the comet to an rniirciy new path: but "it has ricvcr bccn possible to drfcct any offs-ct of the pull of a comet on n planet." For all that. a conict may weigh s/Jvcral million tonswwhcrcas our earth weighs 1,111 ions) 6 followed by twenty-one zcros!

Again, tho brad of a comﬂt may bf‘. as largo as the sun, and the tail may huvc a volumn many times greater. The wr-irzhi. Ming so small. tho dcnsity of maiirr in the ncad must also hc small. and in the tail smaller still. Whcn ilic comct passes an ordinary star, the star is visible and it loses no bright- ness. so aitcnuatcd is a conic-ts tail that tho carth may pas‘.

Description of Insect and Damage Caused

The adult, a. brown moth. ons- i quarter inch long, appears early in June. flying and laying its eggs during the evening. The eggs are in groups of 5 to 10 on the under- sides of the leaves. 1n a week ow so they hatch and the small outcr- pillars mine in between the two surfaces of the leaves. This at first shows up as discolored spots. later the mines become larger and up- pear like large blotches. sometimes

bladder-like when they run w- gether. After about three weeks the

pale-green caterpillars come out on to the surface of the leaves and mil them over. tying them down with silk and feeding inside the roll. They are now pale-yellowish in color and about 1-4 inch long. Teri days or so later they drop to the ground where they pupabe. In about two weeks (fearly August) a second generation is repeated. The injury may continue until the middle of September, when the in- sect goes into hibernation in the ground. CONTROL

The idea. of growing cucumbers as climbing vines rather than as ram- blm over the face of Y-hﬂ "f!!! when they take up much room is gaining m popularity. The idea. has been spread through the medium of some of the great greenhouse plants about the country devoted entroiy to the winter growing of cucumbers for the cold season market. 1n those glass houses the cucumbers are trained to strings and go straight up to the roof.

Citizen, has been working at the same class of problem arid has shown us Just where we stand in our life's work. Medical men, he says. are at the top of the economic tree. their working life span is 42 years. and the present value of their average earnings for that time is $108,000. Lawyers come next, working 43 years and gathering in the shekels to the tune of $105,000. Education and religion cannot attain to such figures: the minister's average length of service is 44 years but his cconumic value is $41,000. The Public School teacher has 45 years bcfore him, with the prospect of coming $29,700. But it is the far- mer who gets the shabbiesi. deal of all: he must work (and the pro- fessor says nothing of the unpaid labor that. his family puts in) for 5i years at the not-unimportant

CAVE-MEN IN ENGLAND

1n 1861 the quarrymen were de- molishing the lfelthery Bum Cave a limestone cavern in I romantic and secluded ravine. about I mile , and a half north of Stanhope in Wear-dale, Durham County. The limestone was used by the Wear- dale Iron Company and their 0P!!!- tions invoived the complete destruc- tion of the cave.

When the floor was removed it was found to be iitalaginitic, from two to eight inches in thickness. and under it were many pro-his- toric romaine. Of primary import- M10!‘ were portions of two human skulls, which Professor Huxley dea- cribed as "belonging to the name race of rather small and lightly- mnde men, with prominent super- ciliary ridges and projecting nasal bones." that ho had seen in other parts of England.

Chisels, gauges. and swords, some of the latter broken and kept for re-smulting. were scattered about; "Jets" or piems of waste metal, a cauldron with two hand- les. a PM! of tongs and some clay moulds, led the qunrrymen to the conclusion that the cave had been used by the old-timers as their foundry. l

Cave men are not now regarded as models of chivalry, but these two were different. Among their - ssessi lb were more than a dozen bronze pins. four braclets one of them for-fried of wire, and another that of a child, and about a. dozen finger-rings. There were also a few bronze buttons. six or seven metal discs, intended for dress uiﬂB-IHOHU, each with four loops bchind as fasfcnlngs, and five or six broad armlets, slightly over four inches in inside diu- meter and two and a half inches broad.

It may also have been that our cave-men were rather fastidious, too; for a broad min knife, of the type known as a “razor”, was found among their possessions.

There were many bone objects. as well as gold and jet orna- ments, found in the cave; and amongst the bones found there were those of the ox, horse, roe- buck. goat, hog and water-rat, all of which had served as food. ‘Phe two smiths had been fond of shell- fish, for quantities of oyster. mus- sel, cockle, limpet and Snail shells were dug out.
