One of the most destructive pests the

every known insecticide not berm ful to the
foliage. The editor of the Rand _Yen, York&
has made the important discovery that
water heated to 122 degrees, entirely harm-
less to the pined, will destvoy them. His
detailed account is as follows :
On June 15, during the hottest poet of the
day, when the mordry stood 1111 1(5 degrees
in the shade, the writer note,l that the rose
bugs on gropevines and rose bushes Bought

on the soil showed a temperateire of 129
degrees. Some of these beetles were then

would recover, Put they wore quite dead.
Twenty or more beetles were then placed

was very setisfaotory showing that the

the heed of his axe flew off and struck ft
servant who was standing by. The Czar ran
forward to assist the man, who was slightly
wounded on the face, and some of his blood
trickled on to his honds. An officer on guerd,
seeing that sontethieg WEIS amiss, apposed -

dreadful howl., which brought a, number of
soldiere to the rescue. Matters were explain-

but the officer showed such signs of fright
that the Czar at last bantered hen and pat.
