Shu wroto a nico little note from Hnverford, Pa., to tho bureau of entomology at tho department of ag riculture. "1 enclose three funny moths 1 caught the other day," wroto Mary. "Will you kindly tell mo whnt they aro?" Whoreupon the buYonu of entomol ogy rose from Its several chnlrs and began to move In circles. Mary had found the brown tail moth in Penn sylvania, where tho brown tall never bad bcuu heard of before. A brown tall moth Is as destructlvu to elm trees as a forest tiro. No ono knows how many millions of dollars havo been spent In lighting it. "Go!" said tho centurions of tho bureau. "Heat It to Pennsylvania nnd find out nil about this dreadful thing."
