This may notbe true, but one thing Is certain, and that is that the Anthrenus Serophularic, or carpet-eaters are coming.

The Anthremus Scrophu- arte {8 @ very Common and destructive En ropean insect, and has only recently been detected in the United States: It belongs to the family Dermestide, which includes also the furu!ture eaters, and book-chewers, and is eplirely different in appearance and habits from tne well-known carpet moth. It con- ceals itecif bepeath the borders of carpets nailed to the floor, and eats away those por- tiens. Occasionally it locates itself in tn cracks of the ioor, following which it cuts across entire breadths of carpet, leaving a Hine which seems to have been cut by the scissors. It destroys new as well as car- to breed and multiply, it eats only during the summer 8. Prof. J. A. Lintner, a well-known ento- mologist, describes these interesting insects as small ovate fom pee about one-tenth of an ipeb in length, thickly clothed with numer- ous short, bristle-like hairs, and terminating im a pencil of the forming atail.

The detection of this insect adds to our faun® another species of the dreaded genus of Anthremus perhaps to equal in its destructive agevcy the well-known museum pest, the A. varius (formerly Known as A. mu- sworum), the obtrusive guest of all our col- lections of natural history, whose ravages it feems im, ble to fully guard against, and #0 exceedingly difficult to control.

Independent tells the following: “While travelling through Arizona in 1819 With an exploring party, we made our camp one evening near a canyon, the bottom of which was covered with fine sand that had drifted from the neighboring plains. While €mployed im @rranging our camp, the bota- nist of the expedition, Dr. B, wandered some distance in pursuit of plants. He re- turned shortly and reported toat there were indians near ai band. He was 2s cool as a cucumber, and didn’t show a sign of auexiety cralarm. In angwer to our hasty inquires, he repiied that while he was engagei inex- amining @ fossil specimen, he heard a grant bebind bim. and on looking around dis- covered an Indian who had seized his gnn, which bad been placed insta rock. Toe Indian drew bead on him, and in retalia- Non he drew his revolver and sighted the Indian, retreating at the same time toward Ube canyon, which was close at band. Neither fired. On reaching the canyon he walked leisurely into camp. A party imme itate- ly set out to determine the possibilty of danger, and discovered two Indians aad a Squaw. After capturing thei they ex- amined the vicinity in which the Doc or had met with bis remarkable adventure. Toey found bis footprints, which siehified ® can- tious retreat to thecanyon. But alas! for the frailty of human nature; his footprints in the canyon were eight feet apart, by measure- ment, and not exactly indicative of ibe lelsurely manner in which he had ap- proached the camp. The Doctor acknowl- edged the corn, remarked that that was about as leisurely as he ever wished to walk under similar circumstances.” ‘WiInpow PLANTS.—As the season for in? door culture of plants approaches,and many bave not the reserve of greenhouse or con- servatory from which they can daily decor- ate their rooms, it becomes a desire to know what plants they can easliy cultivate, and have {n a room not heated more than just to Keep out frost.
