The largest butterfly known Is fount) only In British New Guinea and specimens are worth anything from $100 upward. The mRle measures eight Inches across the wings end the fe male not less than eleven inches, a wing spread exceeding that of man? small birds. The story of the first discovery of this gigantic butterfly is a curious one, says The Wide World. A natural ist saw a specimen perched on the top of a tree and failing to capture It by any other means finally shot It. From the fragments he decided that the species was entirely unknown to science and he forthwith fitted out an expedition at a cost of many thou sands of dollars to go In search of the insects. Two members of the party fell vic tims to the Papuan cannibals and another was rescued only In the nick of time. Spite of this Inauspicious commencement to his ente prise, however, the naturalist persevered and ultimately succeeded In obtain ing perfect specimens. A Persistent Foe. Much has been said of late In favor of the extensive cultivation of the black locust, and one railroad com pany Is reported to have planted nearly 1.600,000 tree of this species, with the view of utilizing their extra ordinary durable wood. But Charles A White uf the Smithsonian Institu tion points out, in the Popular Bcleuce Monthly, that the black locust poe tesses a mortal enemy in a louglcorn beetle, which bores the wood through and through. It la a native of the same regions In which the tree flourishes, and depends upon the tree for Its own existence. When popula tion flowed to Illinois end Iowa, the black locust was tnken along. It Nourished luxuriantly for some yeara. until Its Insect foe followed It. and now. says Mr. White, nothing remains of lie great groves of black locust In the middle West except blasted rem nants. The tree, native east of the Ailghenlea, from New Tork to the Unit, was also transplanted to Europe, whither Its enemy has not followed It. Air Purification. Purification of the air of great ttles Is a subject which continually attracts wider attention. Recently the commissioners of works In London, alarmed by the establishment of fac tories consuming thousands of tons of coal a week, have asked Parliament to consider the matter. They recog nize, for the first time officially, says the Engineer, that the getting rid of black smoke would not suffice to cure the trouble. Other products of com bustion besides soot, such as sul phurous and sulphuric acid anl solid mineral particles, are deleterious to vegetation, to buildings, to metal ob jects, and to the pictures, marbles and other treasures contained In museums. The elimination of these Impurities from tbe air Is an Important part of the problem. ' 'Phone Might Have Saved Caeesr.

Charlie Mann, who has been super intendent of the House press gallery, Washington, slnos Johnson was Im peached, let go of a secret which ought to make halt the travelling population of America examine their shoes. Mr. Mann was a Pullman conductor once upon a time. He says the con ductors were a blameless lot In hi time and are to-day, but the porters bent moat of their efforts to spotting "spotters." The "spotters" were men sent out by tha company to ride oo the cara and keep tab on the conduc tors. "Every time a porter suspected s passenger of being a spotter," said Charlie, "be would cut a notch on th Inside of the beel of his shoe.

The curves representing the num ber of students are astonishingly simi lar In the case of American Institu tions of hlpber education, wlrttever their character and location. There Is a normal Increase in at tendance corresponding to the 1; vth In population until about 18s6. lien he curve takes a sudden lesp upward, and In the case of the State universi ties, assumes a parabolic form. The curve for German universities shows the same peculiarity, with the sudden upward bend occurring lit 1X71. This Is easily referable to the consolidation of the empire, but In the United States there was no Buch political revolution In 1885. Where the authorities In different universities have been asked to ex plain this sudden Increase of attend ance In the early "80s they have attrib uted It to some local cause. "Oil. that was when our college got a i.ew president," or "That was tbe year of the big corn crop," or "The new school law came into effect then," or "Tic Legislature was unusually cm-' tous."

Ioudon Daily Chronicle. The Conjurer Confesses. 1 hat "the hand la quicker than the eye" Is one of those accepting sayings Invented oy someone who knew noth ing of conjuring or, as Is more likely, by some cuurflng conjurer who aimed still further to hoodwink a gulllible public. Tbe fact Is that the best con jurer seldom makes a rapid motion,, for that attracts attention, even though It be nut understood. The true artist In this line Is deliberate la every movement, and It Is mainly by bis actions that he leads his audience to look not where they ought, but In an entirely different direction. Mr. David Devant, who for years has en tertained London with his Ingenious tricks, bas said: "The conjurer must be an actor. By the expression of his face, by his gestures, by the tone ot his voice. In short, by his acting, hs must produce his effects." St Nich olas. Church Choir Rows. Time and again we have, and we shall always have, churches bolted against their pastors over a choir row, for where music Is there abldeth also rumpus.
