Scattered Writings of Dr. H. A. Hagen. 
Thanks to Mr. Harry B. Weiss, of the New Jersey Agricultural Ex- 
periment Station, our attention has recently been called to two ar- 
ticles, in part by the late Dr. H. A. Hagen, which, from their place of 
publication, are not likely to be met with by those interested in ento- 
mology or in Dr. Hagen. Both appeared in the Boston Evening Tran- 
script for 1883. The first, entitled, “Money and What Becomes of it,” 
“written by Dr. H. A. Hagen, of the Agassiz Museum at Cambridge, 
read at a recent meeting of the Thursday Club,” was based on un- 
published memoirs of two students of Dr. Hagen’s father, Prof. Carl 
Hagen, of the University of Konigsberg, and on the father’s papers, 
and came out in the Transcript for February 2. It will be new to some 
to think of Dr. H. A. Hagen as a political economist. The other ar- 
ticle, “The State House in Danger” (Transcript, November 15), gives 
an interview of the anonymous writer with Dr. Hagen in relation to 
termite injuries to the Capitol at Boston, and extracts from his papers 
on these insects.
