THE WEEKLY TELEGRAPH: TUESDAY, MARCH 6, 1888.---TWELVE PAGES.
A LITTLE RASCAL
That is Damaging the Pear
and Apple Trees,
NO LARGER THAN THE DOT OVER AN I
Dr. I- H. Clifton Clive* nil Interesting Ac.
count of Him mill III* Habit*- -How
the Little Fellow Look* L'n-
tler n Microscope.
Some week* sinee, the reporter paid a
visit to tfee laboratory of Dr. I. B. Clifton,
the microacopist, and gave the readers of
this paper some account of the investign-
tions being made by the Doctor among the
invisible forms of nature.
The TKLKDBAPH dropped in on him again
yesterday, and found him engaged in the
examination of an insect, which he .stated
was doing great mischief to the fruit and
shade trees in this State. What the Doctor
said about this little insect so interested us
that we have made an effort to embody in it
a short article, believing that it will also in-
terest our readers.
The Doctor had a number of twigs of
apple and poach trees on which there were
thickly attached a great number of scales
somewhat resembling patches of moss, when
examined by the naked eye. He stated that
the gentleman who sent these for examina
tion said many of his apple trees were al-
aimost completely covered with these little
scales.
“This insect,” aaid the doctor, "is classed
with one of the groups of the llonioptera,
called the Monomeru. It belongs to the
genus Coccus, and is frequently spoken of
as the Scale Insect. It takes' this name on
account of the strange shape the female in
sect assumes at her death. They are also'
known as Mealy Bugs from th'c white sub*
stance (cotton) which surrounds each little
Cocci. Naturalists have been quite puzzled
to know just where to start in writing a.his-
tory of this animal, its transformations nre
so unlike those of other insects in general.
These apple tree branches, however, contain
all the different forms with the exception of
THE PKEPKCT MAI.lt INSECT,
but as I have already made a thorough in
vestigation of another Cocci, a cousin of
thia group, I readily supply his place. I
have not received from my correspondent
any of the males because he
wo'uid not know one if he
saw it, nor for one moment suspect that it
was in any way related to these scales on the
twigs. I have' instructed him how to cap
ture some of tbs males, and expect to re
ceive one or more from him at an early day.
In their larval condition there is absolutely
no difference between tho males and females,
The individuals of both sexes arc exactly
alike. The insert is then about the size of
the dot over the letter i. They are furnished
with six feet, as all true insects are, are re
markably lively, moving round with great
rapidi'v, mid have tw > long and slender tiris-
ties at the ends of their bodies. Iliese little
animals, toon after they corns from the egg,
proceed to stick into the hark of the limbs
their sharp pointed bills. They prefer, af
ter the leaves have come out, to attach them
selves to the tender leaf, and will be found
arranged along the sap vessels
sucki-ig with nil their might, but otherwise
perfectly motionless. They remain attached
to the leaf until late in the fall, when they
retreat to the stem just before tlie leaf falls
ofT. Tin y remain attached to the tree by
their bill, until next spring, when they de
velop into perfect insects. The male insect,
still remaining quits small, gets its wings
and takes to flight. The female is always
wingless and spends her whole Ills in tne
some spot. In the spring, after the female
has inserted her biU into the tree at a tender
spot, the will never leave it again. She grows
with wonderful rapidity. The full grown fc
male reaches the colossal
BIZK OP A GARDEN PBA, ■
End soon lifter ;he has completed her growth
the r ale visits her. Tits male is a tiny fly,
almost invisible to the naked eye, of a beau
tiful crimson color, with wings very' long in
proportion to liis body, lift wings are as
white as the snow, and look, under the mi
croscope, as if carved out of alabaster or
Parian marble, while around the outer edge
there runs a baud uf the richest carmine.
The female, in her humble home, awaits the
coming of htr husbaud. She represents In
the highest degree that quality which the
Homans required of their women—Dunam
fecit, domum aerrevit—she spun her wool
mid kept her hnuie. Like the tualei of most
insects, her dude husband loafs around, liar*
ing is good time generally, while ahe, hardly
living, for at flrst you would take her for a
wurt on the leaf or stem, remains motionless
and waits for the coming of her lorer. It is
a carious sight to see the love-making of
this strange pair. She is more than seven
hundred limes as large as her husband. He
Blights on the body of his beloved as one
would land on an iaiand, and proceeds to
serenade her. He make* excursions to the
north and south, to the east and west, and
it is not until he is tired by hie travel* over
tills immense area that he makes love in ear
nest. He then takes to wing, flies around
his spouse two or three times, and, leaving
all future responsibilities ti|»on her shoul
ders. fliU about iu the sunshine for a few
short hours and dies with the dying twilight.
The good mother, boa cv er, from that mo
ment seems to ihiuk only of properly raising
the very large family which she will soon
have on her hands.

with more litas two thousand children to
provide for. Her eggs all come enveloped
in a soft sack of cotton. After these are laid,
undor and around her body, her belly
atretciies and flattena out like a shingle. It
soon becomes so thin that it join* to her
. back, and the whole body hardens into a sub
stance like horn. It tikes a curved shape
like the round roof of a
house, the edges coming in close c6u-
tact with the bark of the tree, and

THE PREMIUM COMMITTEE.
The premium committee of the Stnte
Agricultural Society closed their session
yesterday afternoon aiul returned to their
homes.
They prepared a list that will prove
the most attractive of any fair yet given,
making the premiums more extensive and
inviting. They also introduced a number
of new features which will greatly aid to
tike fair.
The morning was spent in a visit to the
park, where the buildings were inspected
and improvements noted, and also in ses
sion with the Board of Trade. The result
of this conference was tt.e ap
pointment by President • Smith
of a committee of five, composed
of T. U. Conner, S. A. Reid, R. M. Rogers,
T. J. Carstarphen and II. S. Edwards, who
waited ifjxm the premium committee at the
Hotel Lanier and requested them to put
in writing such assistance aa was expected
of the board. Mayor Price was also in
conference with the committee, and on the
part of the city told them the citv would
join hands with the society in malting the'
fair a success.
It is understood that arrangements have
been completed to have the bulk of the
Snb-Tropical Exposition at the fair.
The Central railroad Iras made a cash
contribution of $300 to the society.
The arrangement with the Georgia
State Poultry and Bench Association was
completed yesterday. The premiums will
he tf.e- largest ever offered in the South
and there will be no entrance fee. The
iremium list, rules regulations, etc., will
le printed in the premium list of the fair.
The entire poultry department will lie
given under the auspices of the Poultry
and Bench Association, and will he made
in a building erected specially for the
inrpose. This will be undoubtedly the
argest exposition of chickens and’ dogs
ever made in the South. The details of
this part of the great show will be given
later.

Tho Dooly County Sinn Who Killed His
First Cousin.
As was stated in Friday’s Telegraph,
Crof Lindsay, who killed Ins cousin,James
M. Lindsay, Tuesday morning,was brought
to Macon and lodged in jail.
Yesterday he was handed an account of
the murder to read. Not being able to
read it himself, oyte of the prisoners volun
teered his services. He pronounced the
account untrue, and made thia statement:
’"I rented a place from my cousin, and
on Monday bought the last of my guano.
Jim came over to my place and in the
presence of another, man said something
about controlling the farm. He invited
me down the lane which*divides his
brother’s place from where I was living,
and there we had some words. He had his
shotgun with hint, something unusual for
him. Ho said he was going to control
the stock and thing* of the barn, and I
told him he wouldn't be apt to do it as I
had the place for this year. He then said
me and my help, a man named Carr, could
go to blank, and at tho same time raised
nis gun. I gut the drop on him with my
pistol and fired. When I saw him fall in
the lnne 1 walked away to the woods
where I remained until evening. Then I
stalled toward my house, and 1 saw two
oien move away front the corn bin. I de
cided that I had better wait until the ex
citement cooled down before 1'gave up. I
then returned to the woods and afterwards
to Mr*. McEImurray’s honsr, where I
stayed until morning. Then I heard the
dog* coming and Went across the creek
to a house and crawled
up into the fodder loft until the crowd I UAal
came up. I intended giving uvseU up, Capital Bllnk

morning of the death of Mrs. Patrick Mur
phy, who died a few minutes before one
o’clock.

street in time Saturday night to go on duty
at hit usual hour,'ten minutes before
twelve. It seems that a few moments be
fore one o’clock Mrs. Murphy, who was up
with a servant, and apparently in good
health, fell across her bed with' a cry cf
pain. The colored servant ran out after a
neighbor, and on her return a few min
utes after, found Mr*. Murphy dead.
Word was at once sent to the city hall, and M
the officer who was at that time walking p, joc,
his beat, notified.
