" y" r- / BUTTERFLIES FOR LONDON PARKS. Plan to Stock Pleasure Crounds With Cauzy Creatures. A scheme fcr stocking London parks with butterflies has recently been ag-.rated, and it is by no means certain that something of the kind may not seriously be attempted. It is believed by some well-infonned authorities to be worth trying though undeniably there are serious difficulties in the way. One trouble lies in the fact that most butterflies are more or less migratory in habit, and this remark applies ,to nearly all ol the specie- commonly seen in cities.,, Obviously, there would be no use in establishing colonies of these insects in urban pleasure grounds, it they were likely to take unto themselves wings in a literal sen;c. or relinquishing the larval condition, and to fly away. To renew the stock annually would be expensive, and for other reasons'out of the. question. * It has been suggested that there are some' very .pretty butterflies to which this objection doe9 not apply, and that in the noh-niigratory category are found the Vancssas?medium-sized insects of mottled coloration, black, white and reddish brown. Relatively speaking, they are, sedentary, and might be induced to stay where they ar- put, if the surroundings were attractive and -uitable. Butterflies, like moths, are hatched from eggs, make their firs: appearance as caterpillars, and. after spinning co/ it.. 1 1 ,u. I coons. are nnaiiy iuiimui mcu ?mv/ m?. beautiful winded adult?. As caterpillars they feed on leave-, but in the final -tape they suck the juice of flowers. As a rule, they hibernate as butterflies in hollow trees and other Mich places of con? cealment.?Saturday livening Post.

[L__j |j?JO? |^AI5S |j iiol I'etrolcnin For KuhiI Mnkiu?. i California lias discovered a now 1 method of making good roads. It is in i 1 the use of hot. crude petroleum :;s a | : cementing material. |( The art of road making is proba- j biy more important thau any j ' other one of man's accomplish- i * incuts. It is only in recent years that ! ' -.Americans, outside of a few of the I : older settlements, have begun to ap- [ ' preciate the full commercial and so- i 1 cial advantages of good roads, and to encourage their building through lib- ( oral appropriations of public money from State, county and township treasuries. i No sooner was such work begun than there arose serious questions in many localities as to what material ] was best for the loeal production of < goed roads. t Where stone was cheap and plenti- s fi.l it naturally became the accepted < road-making material, but even in 1 such sections a stone road is not al- ^ ways the most satisfactory. Earth t roads, made of sand or gravel, which t contain good cementing material, such t as proper admixtures of loam, clay or t iron ores, make roads much smoother 1 and more pleasant to drive over while ( not so likely to be unpleasant from i dust. Such roads r.re much cheaper to \ build, for hardly a locality can be ( found which does not contain some t handy bed of fair road-making ina- i ferial, lu many sections the natural y soil is all that is needed to make pood 1 roads for fair w?alher use. Such roads, \ however, are ruro io suffer under the f stress of winter rains and frosts aud ( summer droughts, and break up badly, i Such was the situation in Fresno < when the working of California's new < oil find made petroleum cheap and ( suggested its use on the roads. The ] idea probably earne from the use of \ petroleum refuse on railroad tracks to i keep down dust. Using the petroleum i hot is a new idea. t The hot oil cements the sand. loam, i clay aud gravel and makes the road- i bed both dustless aud waterproof. | It < makes the roadbed material pack un- * dcr a heavy use aud its qualities iin- , prove as the doses of oil are repeated, j Reports from Sau Ilernardino County say that ISO barrels of oil a .near * are used per mile of road, and that 1 even at $1.10 a barrel the oil is found i cheaper than sprinkling with water ] for keeping down the dust, while all its . other advantages are. as it were. , thrown it.?New York Journal. i l Tiuililing Good lloadft. , State Engineer Bond is the cgeoufive ho ad of the good roads movement in New York.

EVOLUTION OF THE CENSUS. . Taken in the Middle A;es For ;li? Purpose of Taxation. The term "census" had its origin in, [tome, and was applied to one group,. >f the censor's many and varied func-'* ions, gays a writer in the Paris Messenger. The Itoman census was chiefly oncerned with fiscal matters, and we . nay suppose that the enumerators ,vere not too effectively welcomed by lie inhabitants. In the middle ages he census meant neither more nor less ;hau a tax, and the final, formal, tnacrial, and efficient cause of every lumbering of a people was the desire if its castle-clad government for uoney or the actual sinews of war. Under the absolute monarchies .vhieh appeared in Europe after the leeliue and fall of the feudal system, he tendency to centralization for adninistrative purposes prepared the ;vay for statistical inquiries, into the lumbers of the inhabitants of particllar districts. The necessity of such, dock taking was first clearly pointed jut by Adam Smith, but it was not till ong after his death that the tirst ensus of Croat Britain?it did not ?xteml to It .-land?was carried out. A ensus bill, which passed the Lower [louse in 1753, was thrown out by he Lords a:, being "profane and subrorsive of liberty." Accordingly, up o 1801, the number of inhabitants of lie British islands was as much a natter, of' guesswork as the populaion of China is to-day. and, as inciis.1t onenc tho ro. kiiriaiiijt iji ^%?\ ** vwovc, ???\< ?x. | iiilt of the enumeration was a great . llsappoiutmcut to all the statistical I prophets. The progress of the census methods | dnee the first year of the last conmry may he illustrated by the derelonuivnt of the oeeupatloual returns. ; In 1801 tliere were but three divisions -those employed in agriculture, those uigagod in trade or iuannfacture and those engaged in neither. In the next wo censuses no material change ia this respect was made, but in ISill the overseers of parishes were required Lo give details respecting the occn- ' nations of males over 20. In the census of 1841, an enumeration most., facilitated by the uniform system of registration of births, marriages, and leaths which came into force in 1S37. the enumerators were instructed to utter each person's description of his jwii occupation. An interesting feature of the census )f I80I was an attempt to supply the ecclesiastical and educational statisiies of the country, but no effort was nade to elaborate the occupation renins. The census of 1801 was also, to 1 certain degree, experimental. In IS71 the first Imperial census was tnlcm?and the census paper of that date -an interesting article, by the way, ould be written on the series of eleven -is obviously the great grandfather )f the present form.
