  keeping 
  on 
  the

   of

  used 
  ; 
  having 
  found 
  a 
  burrow, 
  the 
  naphtha 
  is 
  first 
  

   poured 
  in, 
  either 
  through 
  a 
  special 
  tube 
  attached 
  to 
  the 
  lip 
  of 
  the 
  jug, 
  

   or 
  by 
  simply 
  pouring 
  it 
  over 
  the 
  edge 
  ; 
  then 
  water 
  is 
  poured 
  in 
  so 
  as 
  

   to 
  drive 
  the 
  naphtha 
  into 
  the 
  hole 
  ; 
  one 
  half 
  to 
  1 
  pint 
  of 
  water 
  over 
  

   some 
  naphtha 
  proves 
  sufficient 
  to 
  drive 
  out 
  the 
  insect, 
  and 
  it 
  perishes 
  

   soon 
  afterwards.

  reports

  in 
  this 
  way 
  a 
  boy 
  (whose 
  daily 
  

   wages 
  were 
  25 
  copecks 
  — 
  about 
  6d.), 
  has 
  destroyed 
  300 
  insects 
  in 
  a 
  day. 
  

   The 
  author 
  has 
  also 
  invented 
  a 
  special 
  jug, 
  with 
  two 
  tubes, 
  and 
  two 
  

   separate 
  compartments 
  for 
  water 
  and 
  for 
  naphtha.

  It

  reported 
  that 
  the 
  caterpillars 
  of 
  Evergestis 
  

   extimalis,

  injure 
  cruciferous 
  plants,

  during

  summer 
  they 
  

   have 
  been 
  noticed 
  damaging 
  sprouts 
  of 
  radish 
  and 
  turnip 
  in 
  one 
  experi- 
  

   mental 
  nursery 
  in 
  the

  describes

   the 
  imago 
  and 
  the 
  caterpillar, 
  and 
  figures 
  also 
  a 
  damaged 
  pericarp. 
  

   The 
  eggs 
  are 
  deposited 
  on 
  the 
  pericarps 
  and 
  the 
  caterpillars 
  feed 
  on

  the 
  leaves 
  or 
  the

  The 
  tree 
  cricket, 
  Oecanthus 
  pellucens, 
  oviposits 
  inside 
  the 
  summer 
  

   branches 
  of 
  the 
  vine, 
  laying 
  two, 
  and 
  sometimes 
  three 
  eggs 
  in 
  one 
  hole 
  ; 
  

   the 
  larvae 
  emerge 
  from 
  the 
  egg 
  in 
  the 
  following 
  spring, 
  the 
  imago 
  

   appearing 
  in 
  July. 
  The 
  author 
  is 
  of 
  opinion 
  that 
  this 
  insect 
  is 
  rather 
  

   useful 
  than 
  injurious, 
  as 
  from 
  the 
  moment 
  of 
  its 
  hatching 
  out 
  till 
  late 
  

   in 
  the 
  autumn, 
  it 
  destroys 
  plant-hce 
  wherever 
  it 
  can 
  find 
  them. 
  As 
  

   to 
  the 
  oviposition 
  on 
  vine, 
  the 
  insect 
  only 
  casually 
  visits 
  this 
  plant, 
  

   and 
  the 
  damaged 
  branches 
  do 
  not 
  suffer 
  from 
  the 
  piercing, 
  as 
  the 
  open- 
  

   ings 
  grow 
  over 
  again 
  later. 
  As 
  it 
  oviposits 
  also 
  on 
  those 
  parts 
  of 
  the 
  

   summer 
  branches 
  which 
  are 
  cut 
  off 
  and 
  burned 
  before 
  the 
  winter, 
  

   numbers 
  are 
  destroyed. 
  In 
  Astrachan 
  the 
  insect 
  survives 
  by 
  depo- 
  

   siting 
  its 
  eggs 
  over 
  the 
  winter 
  on 
  Rubus 
  caesius,
