Buch a farm was Inaugurated a few years ago at Bcxley, Kent, Eng land, by L. W. Newman, F. E, 8,, and the venture haa proved a great suc cess. The farm consists of three quarters of an acre of garden and allotment around his nous and half an acre in a secluded corner of a wood. Inclosed with wire netting. It was In the wood I found him, busily ens;aged with one of hlB two assist ants in the task of spring cleaning. Here was a cage of wood and per forated zinc built around a growing tree, which, Mr. Newman informed me. contained five hundred specimens of the red-beltd clear-wing caterpil lar; and close by was another cane a huge structure Inclosing no fewer thnn seven birch trees and measuring 11 feet by 11 feet round the sides and 12 feet high In which were about one thousand Insects of different l:lnds. Other trees bore smaller cages of different sizes and shapes, each boiling a swarm of precious stock, nr.d so contrli ed that they co.l-i filled on to any branch, thus enabling them to he moved about the wood-l.'-ndg as the caterpillars eat the foli- Around his house Mr. Newman crrtws a nMitley crop of fodder plants for his hungry ?tock. and he has three t.'.-ips liou.-ies, two of which are unbeat en. In one of the latter were, I was in'onncd, about, ten thousand caterpll 1 irs of the silver-washed ) frttlllary. The larvae were In cages planted with dead nettle, and containing mote than three thousand caterpillars of the handsome scarlet tiger, and otlur er-,v9, aVo. in which were about five tho.isnnd d irk gecn and blh brown fil'iibrM? Throughout the nsf.t'hNhment there are at the prcs nt Hue more thi n forty thousand living caterpillar, about 120 newly emenjed mo'hs and butterflies, and as it is now the tall- end of the season for pupae, only about seven thousand chrysalides. In June there will bo three times tho present quantity of living Block. The dead stock numbers about 100,000 set Insects; every one of which has Ita price, ranging from Id. to 5, 7 and even more for rare varie ties. In the same manner aa orchid growers, Mr. Newman sends his ns Bistanta far away on speculative forays, though never outside Britain. He haa a man now hunting for a fort-, night in North Wales for hibernated butterflies. Origin of Boycott. Boycotting Is a Bpectes of conspir acy named after one of Its conspicu ous victims. Captain Boycott, an Eng lishman, who was agent of Lord Erne, of the district of Connemara, Ireland.' As agent he served notice to quit on the tenants, who retaliated by Induc ing the population for miles, around to refuse to have anything to do with him. His scrvanta loft Armed con stables were called In to protect him and thoee who came to take the places of former tenants and servants from violence at the hands of the sur rounding population. The term, there fore, originally signified a conpUcy to ruin the business of a person by violent Interruption of bis relations with others. It has been defined by an American Judge aa "a combina tion of many to cause a loss to one person by coercing others against their will to withdraw from bim their beneficial business Intercourse, through threats that unless those others do so. the 'many will cause similar loss to them." A boycott, even when unaccompanied by violence or intimidation, has been pronounced un lawful by many courts; when accom panied by violence, it Is a criminal offense at common law. Tbe Clay Tablets of Chaldea. These tablets probably the very earliest writing materials used by mun - were of different sizes, the lari; e;.t being flat and measuring nine inches by six and a half, while the smallest were slightly convex and In some coses ny' iore than an Inch long. In the s-..ie ruins with the tob leto have been found the glass lenses which were used by their readeta. The writing was done (while the tab It's were still soft) by a little Iron tracer, not poliiUd, but triangular tt the end. By Ei.giitly pressing this ei.d on the poi't. moist elay tln- Inscrip tions were maJe.
