AIout Worms. New York Times. The army worm, now devastating parts of Long Island and Xew Jersey, is so called because it appears in such large numbers, and because, like oth ers of its species, it moves in columns and follows a leader. It is a caterpil lar, the larva ofa moth, and noted for its voracity, as it well may be, since it can eat, it is said, more than double its own weight in twenty-four hours. Although less gluttonous, as a rule, it is more destructive than the locust, from its greater fecundity and wider distribution over the vegetable world. It feeds on leaves, flowers, roots, buds. seeds, even the wood of plants ; in.leed. j it is neaily omniverous. The -worm is asserted to march in regular and exact order; it lives in society, and moves in procession either in single file, or two, three and four abreast, the line being so perfect in the col umns that the head of one is never be yond the head of another in a row. It follows the leader, stopping when the leader stops, making journeys from plant to plant or from tree to tree in quest of food, and returning to its nest in the same order. The worms form ranks, march, and halt with the preci "CVCl'tll hCStS bl ! lhG back of the CI' pilt1lt;i bour, C fa", i very curious ami interesting. Caterpillars include more than 1.000 varieties, there bemgTOO m Xow Lng- fland alone. They all have 13 seg - "ieuts ; the first consisting of jaw !)( mnulh ; the sccoiul, thud, and fourth j of the thorax of the future insect, and ; the ot her segments of the abdomen, I Their rapid growth and extraordinary ! corisu m litiou are shown by the com- mon silk-worm, which, according to Viucenzo Dandtdo's treatise on silk, in creases, during the 30 days necessary to its full growth, from 1 to 40 lines in length, and from 1-100 to about 95 .'rains in weight. In that time, there- j fo,.0 it, increases its weight 9:500 times and eats 50.000 ti mes its weigh, 0ffbod. In t he Northern States there j are about 1,000 kinds of butterflies j an( moths. As each female lays front ; j 200 to 500 eggs, these species would! "produce, on an average, from each is;sjr,de female 300,000 caterpillars in j a year. If one-half of these were fe j males, the second generation would ! be 45.000,000, and the third G,750, ! 00( 0(J0 Vilh snei, foi iility, it is eas. lo SCe lhat the destructive povver wf cllte.,iJirHf .particularly of the j army-woi-m, must be prodigious.
