The Locust Plague.

The London Standard, in an article
on the rayages of locusts, which are
now devast Eating many places in Eu-
rope as we'll as in the United States,
says: "Again and again the various
species have wrought dire havoc
wherever their wanderings have taken
them. Pestilence usually comes in
the rear of all, and is aggravated, if
not occasioned by the effiuviumfrom
the decaying bodies of the dead cat
tie, or of the insects which have been
blown into the sea, and afterwards
cast up on shore by the waves and
tide. A case is on record IN which
the stencil from such a. bank was car
ried one hundred and fifty miles into
the interior, and earl Y in the Christian
era the hunger and plague combined
which followed visitation of loeusts
in north Africa caused the death Of
eight hundred thousand persons
Four centuries ago, It is narrated or
what seems fairly trustworthy data
that more than thirty thousand per
. sons persisted within the bounds o
the Venetian territory from the lacl
! of food, owing to the locusts havips
, eaten up everything, and since tina

hunt, after which he went to his cab

West said he could have shot one or
