Lightnlng's Freaks.

Tuesday evening, duling the thun-
der storm, the Davis school house.
which is situated about five miles west
of Greentop, was struck by lightning.
Henry Davis, a son of John Davis,
was the only one seriously injured, al
though near thirty pupils of the school
were in the building. At the time of
the discharge he was leaning against
the wall with his left shoulder against
it. The electric fluid came down the
wall and then leaped to his right shoul-
der, passing down his body and right
arm. His life was at. first despalred..of
but the indications this morning rem
der his recovery possible.

SWetlenS Exodus,

Sweden is reported to be greatly ex-
ercised in mind over the speedy de-
pletion of Ter provinces by immi gra-
ton. and no wonder. 1t is her misfor-
tune, that by far the greater part of her
territory is too rugged and cold to
yield fair return to the sturdy people
who till it, and that being out of the
continental roads that lead to any
where in particular she cannot attain
to manufacturing prominence. For
more than two centuries her venture
some spirits have been straying to
America, and the reports that they
have sent back have resulted in little
Swedish colonies being planted all
over the northern half Of United States
where even the rudest peasant toll pro-
duces far more comfort for the home
than can be extracted from the forests
and rocks of the mother country. In
stead Of attempting to restrict emigra-
ton as they are said to be contemplat-
ing, Sweden's governing class should
70 low the emample of the peasantry
and enigratep for they understand
statecraft and are gentlemen besides,
and America IS greatly in need ofsuch
a class IN pQllAGS,-x

The Telegraph and the Bible.

A remarkable feat of telegraphy was
performed on Friday night for the ben.
etit of the Chicago press. The first in.
stallment of the revised New Testa-
ment, filling thirty-three columns of a
morning newspaper, and comprising
twenty-eight chapters of st. Matthew,
sixteen OF st. Mark, seven of st Luke
and FIVE of st. John, was telegraphed
in S3,715 words from this city to Chi
cago by the Western Uhgbn ON twenty
one wires. Seven hours sufficed for the
transmission. On Saturday afternoon
the Acts of the Apostles were put on
seventeen wires for the transmission
of the $4,000 odd words contained there
in, and the Epistle to the Romans fol-
lowed. 1t was expected that by the
time these were received the New Tes-
lament would have reached Chicago by
mail, when the remaining $4,000 words
would be put in type and the whole ap-
pear in Sundays papers. The rest of
the country will await with interest
the effect upon the morals and man
ners of Chicago of this singular exDeri-
ment in journalism, But as An illus
tration of the immense resources of our
telegraphic system it merits both at
tenrion and admiration.

What will be the outcome in New
York is yet to be decided. Conkling's
strength on the first ballot is less than
was expected and the probabilities are
,ha: he has polled his full strength.
We'll informed parties on the ground
claim that an election will be consum.
mated this week, but the Conkling
men claim the power to dead lock the
legislature and prevent any election
the present session. 1t is pretty evi-
dent the republicans OF New York will
hesitate for some time before they will
consent to place themselves in pro-
nounced antagonism to the admins
tration in order to gratify the spleen OF
even such man as Conkling.

depth Of a foot or more, remaining for
another seventeen years, the same pro-
cess being gone through with again.
The year of their return is very diff.
ferent in different localities, for in
stance. this may be the year OF their
return here, yet the year may be quite
different in Ohio, Georgia or Louisiana,
and in northern New England they
never appear. Bat the appearance
of each swarm Is followed in about
seventeen years by another in the same
locality. They are sometimes very de-
structive, for each twig in which there
is deposit of eggs dies, thus render
ing them destructive to fruit trees.
Some years and in some localities they
are so numerous as to be four or five
on almost every leaf, but notwithstand-
ing their great numbers they never do
any damage by what they eat, in tins
they differ from the tree locust which
often leaves no green thing in their
path.
People sometimes wonder if these
are the same little pests as those with
which Egypt was plagued in the time
of Pharaoh. No, they We're the true
locust, and many Parts of Asia and
Africa and even Europe are at times
still devastated by them. They there
sometimes appear in such immense
numbers the rivers are damned up
by them, and the sun is sometimes
eclipsed by their fight, the number is
so great. These locusts were considered
by the Hebrews and other eastern ma
tions as the avenging armies of Deity,
the Arabians still looking upon them
in the same light, and believe that
statement to the same effect in good
Arabic still exists upon the wings of
the insect. Upon the wings of the To-
Gust which is now drumming upon the
tree in your yard there is dusky zig
gag line in the shape Of the letter W
which the superstitious believe to be
sign of war, an evidence that war will
again rage before the locust reappears,
but there is as little foundation for
this as tor the belief that the avenging
message of God is written in the
Arabic language upon the wing of the
true locust.

THE HARVEST FLY. U0CUST)

After an interval of seventeen year'
the forests in the regions around about
here are again resonant with the no
torious drumming of the Harvest Fly
improperly called locust. (Ciacda Sep
tendecim.) There is somethinalcuriou;
about the life of this little insect. II
is said that animals generally live five
times as long as the time required fol
their maturity. Fer instance. the
horse is fully matured at from tour to
FIVE years, and lives from twenty to
twenty-five: the sheep in two years,
and lives to be ten years old. Now II
the same law governed the locust, he
would live to be remarkable old
sage and might be philosopher. just
think. 1885 years old But the
laws governing the locust are such
that though il is seventeen years from
the time it leaves the egg until 1t comes
forth full grown singing locust 1t
only lives six weeks as locust.
The Harvest Fly, or locust, emerges
from the ground IN this latitude from
the first to the last of May, and In
places the ground is rlddled with the
holes they make in leaving their long
subterranean abode. When they first
reach the top of the ground they are
vet covered with the pupa skin which
bursts and falls off after they climb
into the trees. The females are about
one third smaller than the males, and
each one deposits about five hundred
epr. She is furnished with what Is
called plercer, which, after selecting
\ green tw,g suitable to her purpose.
she inserts obliquely to the pith, depos'
iting the eggs in pairs. The eggs are
nearl white, and hatch out in about
four weeks, when the little larva Is
unite active, soon dropping to the
arouud. where it buries itself to the
