 ence, as to make it necessary to put " copy'' into the hands of the printer, for each number, 

 three weeks before date of issue. This should be remembered in sending special or im- 

 portant matter for certain issue. Twenty-five "extras" without change in form will be

Insect Life In Arizona. — Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Mason, of this city, are 

 entertaining this week two distinguished naturalists, who have made ex- 

 tensive researches in the Western field. The guests are David Bruce, 

 the world's greatest entomologist, and Dr. Richard E. Kunze, a phy.siciau 

 of New York city, who has just completed a campaign of five and a half 

 months among the insects of Arizona, and is so greatly charmed with 

 Colorado that he has decided to take up his residence in this .State. Dr. 

 Kunze talked in a most entertaining manner last evening of his trip 

 through Arizona, and the peculiarities of insect life in the far Southwest. 



'Arizona," said he, in the course of his remarks, "is the El Dorado of 

 the entomologists. The variety of insect life in Arizona has for years 

 made the region a favorite field for students and collectors, but every 

 year new specie-; are found, and new species will be found for years to 

 come." — Denver News

 turn. "Did you see that advertisement in the Transcript di^owX. the chair? " 

 asked Mater. "No," said Pater; "what was it?" "Why, there was 

 someone offering a couple of antique chairs, and mentioned, as a special 

 inducement, that one of them contained a borer." "That must have 

 been satirical," said Pater; "No, it was put in in good faith," Mater re- 

 plied, and rising from the table, found the notice in question and read as 

 fol'ows : —
