It is supposed to have bera introduced into this country from Eu about 18S0.

The accompanying figure, taiten from "Insect Life," shows tho moth or miller and caterpillar, with the work of the latter, better than words can describe them. The female moth lays her eggs during the months of June. July and August. She Is able to lay over three hundred eggs; one authority says one thousand eggs. The eggs re inserted into crevices in the rough ark and possibly In some cases around the buds and leaf petrodes.

The venerable doctor All eastern Long Island is interested in, the application of tho Patchogue and Port Jefferson Traction company, to be made to the highway commissioners of Brookhaven next Wednesday for permission to build their cross island trolley road.

The Now York state railroad commissioners have already granted their, official sanction of the road, and immediately after the highway commissioners' decision petition will be made to tb trustees of the village of Patchogue for a franchise to run their tracks on North Ocean avenue and Ocean avenue. The commissioners are Eugene Hawkins of East Patchoguo, William W. Smith and Henry M. Randall of Port Jefferson, and It is expected that they will grant the desired franchise despite the opposition to it. The route of the proposed road, as described in the application, is as follows: Commencing at the foot of Ocean avenue, Patchogue, and running north over North Ocean avenue and Main street, the line of survey runs across the several highways leading from Patchogue to Waverly station; thence westerly along the Horse Block road, north along the highways leading to Selden and Terryville and to Port Jefferson's main street.

The building of the new road will open up rich farm lands and a desirable country, of which little is now generally known, on ac county of the neglected condition of the carriage roads. The residents of the south side of Long Island who wish to visit Connecticut, at present, are compelled to endure a stage route, requiring nearly three houra to traverse the fifteen miles separating the shores. It. is now necessary to cross the island. It is said that Bridgeport capitalists have assured the traction company that if the road is built they will furnish a larger steamer, A brass band has just been organized In Flatbush.

Dr. Sylvester, the superintendent of the institution, originated the idea, as no diversion Is crovided for the unfortunates under his care makes them so happy as music. He found there was plenty cf good material for a band among the employes of the institution.

Drs. E. A. Hoffman and G. A.

and Edward Miller, an employe, are good musicians, and tame of the nurses, too, can play. Dr. Sylvester was so much taken up with his idea that he secured half a dozen recruits from among the patients and they turned out to he apt pupils. One of them particularly, a young man of 2S. suffering from a chronic form of mania, which mani practice some years ago, on account ox nib age.

He has always taken a deep interest In his pet order and has instituted a number of odd fellow ledges in Suffolk county. Despite his years, he is still hale and hearty and possesses a strong intellect. He is well versed in everything pertaining to odd fellowship. F. B.

Green, editor of the Patchogue Argus, and chairman of the committee of arrangements for the coming celebration, is one of the best known secret society men on Long Island. He was born at Belmar, N. on January 26, 1S56, and moved to Patchogue in March, 1883. He joined Brookhaven lodge in May, 1887, since which time he has been one of its most Indefatigable workers. In December, 1890, he was elevated to the office cf noble grand, which he held for one term.

During the years 1894 95 he was secretary to tho district grand committee. In 1S93 and GEORGE W. SMITH, Noble Grand of Brookhaven Lodge. the island will be present to participate in the exercises. An excellent programme has been prepared by the committee of arrangements, and Mr.

Alfred E. Pearsall, the elocutionist, fests Itself in strange delusions, is making wonderful progress on the tuba. Nurse Edward Miller Is the instructor. Xext month an orchestra of eighteen pieces will be organized to go into rehearsal for the winter entertainments. Dr.

Sylvester's intention is to give the inmates of the asylum plenty of amusement during the coming winter and dances, dramatic performances and concerts, both vocal and instrumental, will place at short intervals. MvrsLi ttii i itru i yj iuu iuui ir: uitu is, no question as to the evidence that secured the convictic cf the murderer, and it is held by those who have worked faithfully and successfully in the case that they should have their promised reward. Kavanagh has already put his claim in the hands of his counsel and will press it to a settlement. The other claimants say they are going to follow Kavanagh and press their claims for their portion of the reward. The trustees of the village of Hempstead claim to have suddenly discovered thai they had no authority to appropriate SI.

000 for a reward without a vote of the people. Good lawyers say that in case they cannot get the appropriation from the village they are liable Individually, as their names were signed to the offer as published on the posters placed all about the village. As to the responsibility of the county of Queens for the district attorney's offer there can be little doubt. It has been generally understood on previous similar occasions that the district attorney was authorized to go to any reasonable expense for the detection and conviction of murderers and such bills have been promptly paid without a contest. As to the offer of Mr.

Powell, the validity of that "Will also be tested in the courts. It is: said by the deputy sheriffs of Queens county that the delay in paying these rewards will only make it harder to get detectives to work on cases that may arise In the future.

Here, in tho hard wood, they hibernate the second winter and in the following spring go through those peculiar changes preparatory to issuing as adult moths during the summer. This is their method of work in the bodies and large branches of trees. If the eggs are deposited on small branches, which is often the case, the caterpillars will feed within tho twigs until the latter dies or the caterpillars are too large for the twigs; In either case they come out of the twigrf and crawl to larger branches, or to the body of the tree, and bore them.

In such cases they are easily found. They often girdle large branches and also smail trees. We often see trees with single largo branches dead, or If we do no; notice them the fact is made known to us after every heavy wind. wili be seen by the above described feeding ba'bits cf the caterpillar that is a dimcult pest combat, and as is known to lares: nearly all our desiduous trees, the chances are that 1: is here to stay.

Such a plan would open up a beautiful and attracte route for pleasure seekers, beside affordirg Long Islanders the much needed communication. The new road would intersect "the line of the Long Island railroad at three of its most Important stations: Patchogue, Wayerly and Port Jefferson. A careful estimate plsces the number of beneficiaries by such a riad at close on to 50,000 and It would undoubtedly fill a long felt want. Not tho least important consideration would be the opening up.to the strawberry farmers and the clam and oyster fishers a means more easily their produce to the markets. Starting from ihe foot of Ocean avenue at Patchogue, it pisses through a section that will be immensiy profitable for about a mile and a quarter.

Elegant residences adorn both sides of the avfnue, and It is at this point tihat the chief oppoiition to the road has developed.
