LEVY’S LADYBOGS! ; Trenton Entomologist Tells How to Bring Them Up in the Way They Should Go. THE BEETLE’S WISHING WAYS! Interesting Chat About Small In3ect3 Familiar to All. C. Herald Levy, Who lives out. Ka:st . State street near Hamilton souare,. is breeding and training the nine spotted ladybug after a fashion calculated to give future c-nromoiogists entirely different no tions! of the intenigence of that beech, says a Trenton letter to the Newark J "News." The botanist must also be. in terested in Mr. Levy’s iifseo; breeding grounds, for he has succeeded in' Having a moonvine grow and thrive in winter, arid that, too, on the Inside of a lea tin r trunk in a back shed. The moonvine is really the breeding ground of the "lady bird,” ant* rue pret ty insect clings to its leaf from the laying of tiie egg cluster to the hatching *»f the larvae. And so active is each larva that the transplanted aphides which litter the moonvine are devoured by it before they accomplish their work Af destroying the vine’s stem. The patience and tact required to de- | velop the intelligence of the beetle are of the character that, produced Job himself, but Mr. Levy has both requisites and his troupe of "lady birds" are a revelation to all who have seen their performances, his control of the beetles is wonderful, j Besides the fact of their breeding in win- j ter. which of itself is astonishing and j contrary to all the heretofore known , habits of the ladybug. Mr. Lew actually I instructs the infant ladybug in the use of j its wings. And, when taught to fi>. ! strange to say, the insect refuses to leave | the breeding grounds. There are about twenty known species of the so-called ladybug, and the feature of Mr. Levy’s experiments likely to Inter est the student of natural history most is j that he has succeeded in breeding only j two—the nine-spotted ladybug. or, prop erly, the coccinella noven notata, and the trim ladybird, the species with the plain red back, whose real name is coc cinella munda. At times, also, the most pugnacious of the whole order, the black head or common spotted variety, the mug gilla maculata, has been noticed on the moonvine breeding grounds. This species appears in the different broods periodi cally, Mr. Levy remarks, but whether it Is hatched of the eggs of the nine-spotted ladybug or is attracted to the place by the gentler of the species, he has not as yet been able to determine to his own satisfaction. The study of the beetle is a hobby with Mr. Levy, but the breeding, raising and training of the pretty ladybug is the re sult of an accident. While visiting an ice manufacturing plant during the month of July last. Mr. Levy said he was greatly surprised to find several ladybugs of the ninerspotted vari- j ety, apparently In the best of health and j spirits, flying about inside the frigid en- j closure where the iee is stored. The pres- ! ence of the hitherto-thought-to-be most | delicate of the beetle order In so cold 1 a place at once excited Mr. Levy's inter- | cst, and remembering the contention of | naturalists that the ladybug sought win ter quarters in early June, he determined to catch the bugs and try to breed them in winter. A determination to breed insects in cap tivity, like raising snakes, ir> very easily mi chert by the cnthttshiFtic natural:. but the actual doing <>f it require# *!»••. ; 'care and patience. The breeding of tin- j ladybug in winter had never before been | attempted by anyone, so far as Mr. Levy , could ascertain, but this fact only acted j as an incentive to try the experiment. ■Mr. Levy knew that the first requisite j would be to secure a quick-sowing vine j that would produce pollen In winter, and - he also knew that he must obtain a plant ti.at would sustain the lift of the tiny : aphis, as well. This was nec s.-ciry. be- j cause Mr. Levy -lid not then know whoth- | er the nine-spotted ladybug was .-arnivor- , ous or accustomed only to a diet of pollen. ! which she might rip from the anther of 'the plant. It was l.!.-avis necessary to I select a quirksgrnwing plant if he intend- j c-1 raising any .considerable number of tin- ] lady-bugs, for the whole specito is a pre- ! daccous lot, and. whatever the focal se- j lec-ted. there must be,a-plenty of it. A running, entangling moonvine. grow- ; ing over the front fence of his lawn, de termined -Mr. Levy to try :o grow the reckless plant in the back shed In winter, and in this he has been quite a# success- ; ■ fill as in his experiments in the breeding of the ladybug. tne ru-x: uma-uuj i-> i.. plant with the aphides, or tiny insects known to gardener®. The body of tin plant-louse, or aphis, is* the natural met into which toe ladybug larva imbeds it self, and upon the body of the aphis these larvae live and grow fat. The eggs of the ladybug are deposited in clusters and in warm climates they nyly. be seen dangling from an almost i viefhle Mlkeii -ord beneath a leaf, but in Mr. Levy's breeding experiments he has found that the eggs are deposited di rectly beneath the veins of the leaf, close to its stem and usually among s group to aphides. The moonvine Mr. Levy planted in an earthen jar which he placed in a leather trunk. The plant continued healthy and, going co a neighboring apple orchard. Mr. Levy soon returned with enough of t'n■■ aphides upon a branch of an apple tree to destroy an ordinary apple orchard, if left unsprayed. From the dying or dead branch to the living vine, the aphides hastened to move. As tin several lady- | bugs had become acclimated, as it were. ' they soon deposited their j clusters of eggs. In a short while tiny, hairy worms were noticed crawling about the stem of the fast-growing moonvine and in less than a week after their discovery Mr. Levy eounted twenty-eight separate ladybug pupae hanging from as many different " parts of the vine, and each apparently enjoying an aphis luncheon, so to speak. : It seemed but a few days later when the llttle round-backed, nine-spotted ladybugs put in an appearance upon the vine, each having the distinct nine spots—the four [ black spots on either wing, and the one great black spot touching upon both wings when closed. It was not long after the presence of this first brood of ladybugs was noticed, before another batch appeared slowly, lumberingly creeping into life, and then another and another followed quic^Jy.

Th > monnvinc budded and the lady bugs feasted upon the pollen and seem -1 more than contented with life, despite tin fact that' they had been brought into ex istence at the wrong rime of year are ladybug was ever called upon to endure, ladybug wras ever caleld upon to endure. Vet the bug appeared to Mr. Levy to be rest less-seemed to be looking about for a something which they could not find, as he tells it. Still, lie says, they were mor^ frisky than the usually dull, slow-mov ing and deliberate ladybug found climb ing the stem of the dandelion in June, j and when he visited the breeding trunk and held out his hand toward the moon vine, he says, the ladybugs would crawl upon his hnad at a lively pace. On very , cold days, he says, they would bury them- j selves beneath the hair of the cowhide . leather trunk. Mr. Levy grew' convinced that the in sects grew to know him ami he deter mined to try to develop the beetles* in tellect. * One afternoon wThen the ladybugs had crawled upon his hand to the number o’ about three score, Mr. Levy says, he stepped into the warm library to a table. Here he placed the ladybugs upon the table without having in mind any defi nite plan of what he intended to do with them. To his astonishment the beetles began to form of their own accord, as if in columns of masses, as the military folk • would say. This probably accidental movement on the part of the sixty or seventy ladybugs gave Mr. Levy an idea, jnd going back to the trunk he secured a few score more of his winter-hatched ladybugs. These, to, he placed upon the library table besides the others* It has always been said by naturalists hat the beetle, if placed in numbers upon i given space, will fight most bitterly to maintain its position, but Mr. Levy did not consider the gentle ladybug to be of j \ nusnaclous disposition. No sooner had he placed the newly , yrought lot of lady-bugs upon the library i [able, he says, than those first upon it formed in three distinct groups, about yvenly divided as to numbers. Tin- newly jlucert botch, hftWever, seeminalv did not j lotice this action. But after a time, they'. 1 oo, appeared to wake up to the situation, i tnd they performed similar lively move nents. In a moment there was some live y hurrying and scurrying about the table :op by both groups, and each appeared :o be keeping a sharp watch upon the loings of the other. Mr. Levy declares i to be a fact that before he removed he ludyhngs from the table separate ;?-oups had marshalled their forces a dis ject jioints on the tabic, had posted 5U9rds . and had partitUuied off their orces in eompaities. over each of which :here seemed tit be one in command rhere was no fighting, lie says, because ic nlam-d his hands near either group, md in an instant the warlike iudybugs ‘raw-led on on his hands and he placed hem back in the leather trunk on the noon vine. •Mr. Levy save thus Piece that atter v>on‘F experience he has* frequently ntce-d the huivbngs on the*library- table, vnd now, he tvv. he ean form them into -ompanies. battalions and- regiments, and lave them march around the entire table .op bv merely tapping the table with his ingers He e-tvs furtlv r that he car. rig fix of the ladyttugs In silken harness which -he has manufactured. hitch them :o a carriage triad.- of splinte, and ‘-.in hive tiff hat-ne t?-d lady-bugs about and tave them draw the .earring.. in fie car •iage he places several other iadybugo, irid they act as if they enjoyed the rule. ; re says' • The lady-lings will also s.; m row,-’ ->i [en, one row In for, tile other, a my a ui uand. or rather upon my merely t.ippti.g fin tabic with my fingers.'- said Mr. Levy n describing their ways. "Anil they will >iay rugie-de-pugley by piling on top of jaeh other, upon my touching them with i broom splint. "In fact, the lady-bugs are now so tiior lughlv trained that 1 no longer carry item upon mv hand from he library wink to their home in the leather trunk in j :;ie shed," he fetid, /‘hue nowadays when j [ m tired of them .I tap the table and open i :he door and tiny fly to their Komi-'when l sing:— "Ladybug.

Sons of Barristers, It is curious that the son? of gieat law'- j vers seam to produce the mannerism? of : their fathers in conducting cases. Mr. E’treivnl Clarke, the son of Sir Edward, who wap recently described by Judge at [lie. Old Bailey as "the able son of his illustrious father." Is. to use ■< rathe! vulgar phrase, the spii of him. His ap pearance and manner in court ate an ; ■xaet l-eprodiicttdn of his par. r.L. amt If , i,m were to close your eyes you would ul- J most imagin' that it was Sii lidv.aru j ilm-olf who was speaking. Eton the ner vous action of the hands i ntying up ay , brief at the close of a Core is reproduced. I Vnothor instance of hereditary is seen ill I [lie case of the Hon. Charles Micnaghten. the son of the Lord of Appeal, whose res ignation is now rumored. In that -case, •oo the appearance and characteristics of [he father and son are strikingly simitar. Lord Coleridge, however, is strangely un like in style to his father, the late Lord Chief Justice. "The silver tongued Cole ridge " as he was called during the Tioh borne trial, had a voice of remarkable beauty. The present Lord Colrldge ha« not a very pleasant voice, although hi? manner is effective.’ and has secured him a good many verdicts. It is an open se cret that his father would nave retired from the bench before his death if the Lord Chancellor would have given his son what was then a Queen s benen Judgeship.—London correspondence, B.r- i iningnam “Gazet te.’ I , . ■■ : • .
