Special to the Chicago Times.
COMMISSIONS Watts proposes to gTapple
with the grasshOpper question, and has
issued a circular to the people of the grass
hopper districts which abOunds in startling
cOnundrums. These, coming directly after
the grasshOpper plague, may have a ten
dency to still further depress the public
mind Of the West. Nr. Watts means we'll,
however. The following are some of the
questions in his circular:
Give the exact date of their appearance;
time Of day, if possible; the direction from
whence they came.
Give the direction of the wind at that
time, and state what effect it appeared to
have on their movements.
How long did they stay, and in what
direction did they move when they left?
Also state the direction Of the wind at that
time.
Did they deposit eggs before leaving, and
If so, what places did they prefer?
If you know, please give your altitude
above the sea level.
