Hugh Pearson, an English explorer of the wild country, de­ scribe* two insect pest* tha t infest the sources of the Parana, Ope is a redh-st caterpillar that burns a person wherever it touches and the other » burrowing creature with a belt of prickles, The caterpillars are not named, but are said to be various and beau­ tiful, ajid the different speeieB can be recognized by the kind of pain they inflict as well a* by their mark­ ings. They may be the larvae of a species of lasiocampidae, related t o . our tent caterpillar’s,’ which are clothed with tufts o f downward pointing hairs th a t in several tropi­ cal species are known to sting dread­ fully. Mme, Herian, years ago, in an account of the zoology of Suri­ nam, described an eporroous cater- J illar of this group. She simply juched one of them, whereupon her hands became inflamed, and she suffered excruciating pain. There is an African moth the hairs of whose, caterpillar are so venomous that they are used as an ingredient in making arrow poison, Mr. Pearson asserts that where on,e of the South American caterpillars rested on his bare skin it made a blister an inch long, thqUhad all the characteristics of a*bum with a. hot iron and left a similar scar Xn the same forests men and ani­ mals are plagued by th e berna, a maggot, probably of a. flesh fly, which grows from an egg laid under tlie skin of .the1host I f the egg ia not soon dug out if causes pain that becomes more and njorefsevere as the creature grow* until i t becomes continuous and intolerable. A bad sore follows, from which the Insect finally escapes. The pain is due to the fact th a t the maggot acquires as it grows a belt of needle-like spines that 'te a r the flesh as the creature moves in the inflamed wound. Dogs suffer much from this pest, and wifere the insect abounds it is impossible to raise cattle.— Youth’s Companion. .Pstsr the Great a* a Drinker. , There fs preserved in the Bpd- by Peter the Great of.
