Habits of the GrasshOpper.

PROF. Humiston of Worthington, Mimi.
described to the Tribune correspondent the
grasshopper's mode Of deposting her eggs in
the soil, subject which he has had excellent
opportunity for studying this year. The tail
OF the female locust consists of hard, bony,
cone-shaped substance, capable of being
thrust into the ground II ON one-half of al
inch to an inch in depth. Just above this, on
the body OF the insect, and attached to it. is
the egg cell. The grasshopper is able to push
its conical tail down into the ground and
leave it there, with the cell containing the
eggs. The warm sun in the spring causes
the eggs to hatch and the field is covered
with millions Of young grasshoppers, not as
large az kernel of wheat, just when the
tender shoots Of grain begin to show them
selves above the groun2. The damage they
do is immense, for they remain long time
in one spot, and work upon the young
shoots. Perhaps the best mode of treat
ment is back setting, or blowing the field,
and thus turning the surface soil, with
its store Of eggs. several inches under
This prevents Matching, and, though not
complete remedy, is very useful.-Scien-
tic Miscellany, IN the GALAXY for Decem-
Der.
This is correct account of the
method of the grasshopper in deposit
ing her eggs, but, unless those
who are familiar with these insects are
greatly at fault in their observations
the writer is not accurately informed
concerning the predatory habits of the
young grasshoppers. Gen. Brisbin,
while here in behalf of the Nebraska
Relief Association, informed us that
these grasshoppers do very little, if
any, damage to the crops during their
young days. They do not show voraci.
ty until they have grown large and
strong enough to take their first fight.
Then when they alight upon any field
every green thing suffers. They cover
the fields so completely as to hide the
local color of the vegetation. Alight-
ing on a hill of corn, for instance, they
cluster upon the blades, the tassel, the
tender ear, the stalk, frequently break
ing it down by their numbers and
weight, and never leaving it until it is
stripped so completely that the stalk
looks as though it had been scorched by
fire. Cincinnati Commercial.

AN INDIAN MASSACRE,
Terrible Fate of the GOrmain Family,
from GeOrgia-A Man, His Wife and
Three Children Killed and MutiIated-
Four Girls Carried Into Captivity
Rescue Of Two of Them.

Four Girls Carried Into Captivity
Rescue Of Two of Them.
Some two or three months ago statement
was published in the papers that the bodies
of four white persons and the charred wreck
of an emigrant wagon had been found on the
Smoky Hill, - miles from Sheridan Station,
on the Kansas Pacific railway. The bodies
were horribly mutilated and the only thing
left to identify the family was a small Bible,
upon the hy-leaf of which was
written " Gormain, Blue Ridge. Ga" At
| first the story was not believed, but subse-
quently such corroborative evidence was fur
nished as to leave no doubt that portion of
the family had been foully butchered, and the
female members carried into captivity. Two
of the latter-young girls-have since been
rescued. sergeant of the Fifth Infantry,
who was with detachment Of troops which
effected the rescue, has arrived at Leaven-
worth, and furnishes the particulars
of the revolving massacre OF the
family, and the hardships borne by
the captives. He obtained his version of the
butchery from the elder girl Of the two cap
tured He says the family-consisting Of
father and mother, one son grown, five daugh-
tiers, and an infant-were surprised by band
OF Indians while encamped on the Smoky
Hill. The father mother son and the Oldest

and scalped before the eyes Of the younger
| girls. The four other girls and the infant
were placed on ponies, and forced to endure
every hardship of travel known. The saw
ages, finding the infant burden, Drained
it with a tomahawk, and then continued
their flight southwark with the girls Ada
and Lucy Gormain-the former aged 10,
and tho latter 19-were compelled, in the most
brutal and shameful manner, to submit to the
lustful embraces of the savage devils. These
two girls are yet prisoners, held by Gray
cages band OF Cheyennes, numbering 100
warriors, although there is hardly doubt OF
their recapture, az the troops are closing in on
the war party, and, being mounted on fresh
horses, will certainly overtake the savages,
whose ponies are run down. and hardly fit for
active warfare. The recaptured girls are aged
respectively and 8 years. The younger bore
the hardrhips of captivity much better than
her sister. The elder would not have lived
more than week longer under the savage
treatment Both we're almost Naked en-
aciated, and at the time of their rescue pre-
sented spectacle Of human Indebtedness
and despair almost without parallel in the
history OF savage barbarism.
The soldiers of the rescuing detachment
made covering for the bodies Of the half
naked children from their own clothing, and
in every other way possible, ministered to the
comfort Of the sufferers. The Younger girl
does not seem to realize the terrible fate of
the family. When taken, she asked the SOL
diers, in the simplicity OF child-like curiosity,
whas tribe they belonged to.

The Sanitary Condition of Water.

There IS no more prolific source OF
disease than bad water; but to DIS
tinguish whether the fluid is unfit for
consumption or not is somewhat diff
cult. Water from a certain river, spring
or we'll may be repulsive to the senses,
and yet harmless to the stomach, in
comparison with other water which has
a more attractive appearance. Perhaps
the best mode of determining the ques-
ton is to examine the condition of the
organisms dwelling in the proposed
source to be utilized. If, for example,
an industrial establishment or collec-
ton of dwellings empties refuse into
the stream, and as result fish disap-
pear or are found dead upon the sur
face, it is certain that the water is
strongly and injuriously affected. The
gradual infection may be noted by the fish
first rising to the top, apparently i'll at
ease, and subsequently dying. In
vitiated water also mollusks perish, and
their bodies decompose rapidly. In
the air they merely seem to dry up and
retain life, though torpid for some time.
Crosses cannot live In corrupt water,
and their existence is sign of purity
in the fluid, while alg@ deprived of
their green color indicate absolute cor
ruption. M. Gerardin, in referring to
this subject in a recent note to the
French Assembly, states that the best
method of measuring the degree of
purity or of infection in the water is by
determining the amount of oxygen in a
given quantity. Water containing
large percentage of gas is pure and
good but when little of the latter is
present the water is decidedly deleteri-
