The Beetles i'm Utah.

The Austin (Nevada) ReUeHie gives the follow
ing description of this formidable and dreadful
plGgue:-
Utah is not only plagued with locusts, bat
with an insect called the elephant beetle.n A
reliable person who returned from the neigh
borhood of Salt Lake last week saw myriads of
them covering the earth with their shining
broWnish black bodies, and destroying every
thing which they met i'll their path. Even small
animals, he was informed by the Inflated resi-
dents, did not escape the Voracity OF these
hordes: their bodies were crowded upon, and
worried and wounded cruelty with the powerful
antenn@ until they fell down exhausted by their
struggles and loss of blood when they were
fastened upon by thousands and devoured.
The entire carcass of q sheep was eaten and
the bones picked clean in two minutes and
quarter; and it is said that dead OK would be
gobbled up by them in quarter Of AN hour.
So feroCious are these giant beetles that mothers
are afraid to let their little children 60 out of
the house unattended by grown person. In
their frequent bloody contests the wounded are
devoured on the instant Our informant says
they are about four inches long, with legs three
inches long; their antenne are sttf sharp, and
full tour inches long; they have short tal
armed with powerful horn, and their shells
scarcely crush them. They are very frisky at
times, and Jump with the agility of feas.
No other species of the beetle possesses their
faculty of uttering a loud sound, which, mad
by thousand of them at once, resembles the
braying OF band of jackasses. Their noise
terrified the horses of our informant and his
companion, who could not be kept upon the
plain, so great was their fright. On one oCca.
sion while they were riding in valley that was
black with beetles, and crushing them under
their horses hoois, when their hard cases
would crack with report like q rifle, the
| fierce insects showed a disposition to attack
the horses, and iaIly drove them out of the
| field. We were informed that a scientific man
| in Salt Lake City was collecting specimens

Ozone.

This remarkable substance, discovered by
Schupbeln IN 1910, has lately been the subject
of numerous researches GdlgRdnt says:-
Our readers know that when air or oxygen is
traversed by frequent electric sparks, it acquires
a certain smell similar to that which is some
times observed after o storm, or even strong
fash OF lightning. 1T was generally admitted
by our forelathers that when the Evil One did
moItals the honor of paying them visit, his
exit was always marked by a suell ofbrimstone,
that being very like the odor We are aliudlng to
and most appropriately attributed to the
enemy of mankind, who was known to be
a great amateur of the electric fluid.
Ozone is not soluble in water to any
degree worth taking Into account; heat of
from two hundred and iflY to three bundled de-
grecs Centlgrade VIII deCOmpose IL; but 1t
should be remarked that It has never yet been
obtained IN a state OF purity, 1t Deug generally

FOREIGN ITEMS.

The AAenaum has made very amusing
discovery. A certain MAX, Baron Won
Alvensleben, late lieutenant in the Imperial
Mexican Army" has published book, under
the title of "With Macmillan in Mexico"
BY singular coincidence many of the real
adventures of the "Baron" are identical with
the imaginary adventures Of one of Bulwer's
heroes, "Devereux." Still more remarkable,
the adventures are described in almost exactly
the same words. 1t has been often said that
fact is stranger than fiction, but this is the
first time we have heard of their being identical.
Some persons will be skeptical, we suspect, for
this is skeptical age and will think that
both narratives are fictitious, 'Devereux"
being the original aud 'Alvensleben" poor
copy.
Mr.. Disraeli's first peer Viscount Bird
port, enjoys a somewhat exceptional honor.
He exchanges barony in the peerage of Ire
land Gan honor which confers no right to a
seat in the House of Lords) for a viscountcy.
AS rule an Irish earl or viscount is content
with the lowest order in the English Peerage-
q baroDy. For instance, the Earl of Dunraven
sits as Baron Kenry. Viscount Monck as
Baron Monck, and Viscount Boyne as Baron
Brancepeth. During little over thirty five
years, "a Irish and 16 Scotch peers have been
created lords of the United Kingdom.

A Well Spent Life.

If you read the epitaphs in our grave
yards, or the obituaries in the newspapers,
you will be astonishcd at the number of
men whose friends claim for the merit Of a
well spent life.
If a man was rich aud gave OF his album
dance to public or private charities, his life
is a: once pronounced perfect. II poor
and industrious, he is considered as hav-
ing justly filed the measure of his allotted
hours. If a woman keeps clean house
and quiet children, she is a ''mother in
Israel" II she deVotes herself to spas
mOdic works of benevOlsnoe ; let any one
dare to question her motives. On tomb
stones at least this measure is awarded,
whatever censure the living might have re-
ceived or deserved. Ali these things are
we'll and good, but to US the idea of well
spent life conveys more.
1t is life which sets before it the i'm
mutable principles of truth and justice as
rules of action. The man may be a poor
laborer. unskilled in the learning Of the
sci hools but with a determination to do
right whatever may come of it. In the
drawing of furrow, or the measuring Of a
bashel of corn, the principle will sustain
him quite as thoroughly as on the dividing
line between some questionable good and
decided vice.
A well spent life is filed with deeds of
active, loving sympathy for its fellow men.
! 1t is self-controlIed. and not at the mercy
of caprice or passion, for it's main springs
of action are beyond their reach Its in
! huence is genial, and men are drawn TO it,
for the fruits of peace and content it bears
in their sight. Whatever Of self-sacrifice
is required, is cheerfully paid as debt in
a world where trouble is a universal law
The most perfect lives are full of faults,
but the faults of the ones of which We have
given vague outline are obscured in the
eyes of men by its strong helpfulness min,
gled with tender pity for the weak and er-
ring. It's noble results are in the help il
lends to feeble spirits who steady Ihemsel-
yes against its taller stature. One suon
life in a community is a public blessing

Winding Ones Own Business.


Il is doubtless a good rule 10 mind ones

said that he had lived nearly seventy years
and had learned that il was the better pol
icy to mind ones own business and yet
in less than three minutes, that same gen
tleman was talking about writing a book
