An Army Routed BY Locusts.

OF all destructive foes none are more
dreaded in most eastern lands than the
locusts, whose dire visitations may we'll
be national calamities. In point of fact.
the lands which are exempt from their
occasional presence are the favored few.
A very few details of their invasion in
Southern Russia in the years 1879 and
1880, will give us some idea of their multi
tude. They fell upon the province OF
Caucasus, utterly destroying vineyards
and gardens, blockading the streets so
that traffic was suspended, filling the
ovens so that for several days baking was
quite out of the question, and so choking
the water courses that not cup of water
could be drunk until filtered.
In Georgia they fairly routed detach.
ment of Russian troops, who, not liking
to turn aside on their march repelled by
mere insects attempted to face the locust
army, although reports said it covered
twenty square miles of the country. So
the soldiers advanced, but soon found
themselves literally covered by the cling.
ing, creeping insects, which crawled all
over them. until finally the men fairly
turned and fled, slipping and sliding az
they ran over the crushed and oily bodies
of their martyred foes. For forty eight
hours they were were detained, taking
refuge in village, and assisting the in
habitahts to kill millions OF the invaders,
whose corpses they carted of to manure
the fields, which, however, were in the
meantime stripped of every blade of grass
or corn, and the trees shorn of every
green leaf.
On the road from Tifis to Poti the
locusts lay so thick on the line that the
trains were obstructed. Large districts
of Southern Russia were swept as bare
of all vegetation as if fire had ragged
over the land, and hundreds of peasants,
utterly beggared, abandoned their homes
to seek bread wherever it might be
found. In the province of Chersom
alone, $4,000 roubles was voted by
government for expenditure in the effort
to free the land of this plague; in another
district 10000 persons were employed
daily for three months in the same work ;
the government expenditure on the whole
organization was estimated at 200, 900
roubles, without any calculation of the
loss on crops of all descriptions.
! Another notable scene of locust plague
was Algeria in the year 1865, when the
damage done by these insects was esti
mated at 80, 900, 900 francs, and resulted
in a famine SO appalling that 200, 900
natives died of starvation. All tile Year

Oil on the Water.

A correspondent sends to the Scientific
american the following letter relative to
the effects of pouring oil on rough sea:
On the evening of August l, 1883, and
two companions in adventure were
thrown on one of the Santa Barbara
islands, about one hundred and fifty
miles northwestward from San Diego oil
the California coast. Two days later we
were picked up by an Italian fisherman,
and carried to Santa Barbara. In our
passage across the channel which sepa.
rates Buena Ventura from the island Of
Santa Cruz, we encountered gale, and
the white caps ran pretty high. Our
boat was pretty small, and the flying
spray drenched everything on board. In
the midst of this the old fisherman
called our attention to smoother sea
ahead, and went on to explain that it
was due to oil on the water, and that the
oil came up from natural wells in the
bottom of the ocean.
By this time the boat was gliding
through the calmer sea. / noticed that
the waves were running as high as ever,
but the crests of them remained unbro-
ken, and no white caps were to be seen.
The tumbliug and roaring of the white
caps, the flying of the spray before the
wind, and the crests of the waves blown
off, were no longer to be seen or heard
but the size of the pillows was not other.
wise diminished. The waves were now
huge swells of the ocean, following each
other regularly and silently, and the
wind appeared to glide smoothly along
the surface of the sea, unable to ruffle OF
disturb the water.
The oiled water was only a narrow
strip, running nearly east and west.
should judge that it was less than one
half mile. l could not observe it'
length. The oil field is just fourteen
miles north of Santa Cruz Island. Per
haps the attention of the public has beer
called to it long ago, but did not know
of its existence until l saw it, and have
not heard of it since.

A Queer Rat.

Among the many strange pets which
Frank Buckland, that strange man and
ardent naturalist, kept in his house, a
rat or two were always included. Gratis"
formed the subject of his first magazine
article. One special rat he saved from an
ant cater in the Geological gardens, and
carried it in his hat to his home, where
the rat was given cage on the mantel-
piece opposite the cage of Judy, mar
moset. Both Judy and the rat would
stay all day coiled up in their own cages.
When the gas was lighted, however,
both slowly reused up, and ventured
out. Judy would wander over to the rats
quarters, and, when his back was turned,
would steal his food. The,rat, on the
other hand, would sneak into Judy's cage,
aud pick up forbidden titbits One day
the rat came home and found Judy steal
ing. Whereupon he pitched into her,
and would perhaps have killed her had
not Mr.. Buckland, hearing her screams,
come in time to save her life.
One Characteristic of the rat was its
curiosity. He would get upon his owners
writing table and cautiously examine
every object in hope of finding some
thing worth carrying off. A sugar basin
stood there, and its contents were greatly
to the little animals liking. His plan was
to stand up on the hind legs, steady him
self, tripod fashion, by the help of his
tail, tip the basin over, and then, pick
ing up lump, make off with it. This
rat would never eat where he could be
seen; he always carried away his food to
his house. To do this with the sugar he
had to get upon the mantelpiece, eigh-
teen inches above the table; and a little
ladder was set up for hisRccommodation.
After Mr.. Buckland had shown him
once or twice he soon learned how to
climb it, and would carry pretty heavy
weights. He would steal whole red
herring, for instance, and, after several
trials to get it we'll balanced in his teeth
would scramble up the ladder with it,
waving his tail from side to side like
balancing pole. The herring was too
long to go through the round door of
his house, so ne would drop it, and then,
going inside, would reach out. catch the
fish by the head, and drag it in length
wise withlgreat ease. The first time he
encountered this difficulty, however, it
puzzled him for few moments. This
rat made its nest of old envelopes, which
he tore into small pieces. .-Aanchester

self, for he has been public property
now, 10 these many years. One of these
hydra headed correspondents of half a
dozen newspapers declares that he is
''worth nothing;" that he has lost "a
pile of money! lately; that his stocks are
of no value, whereas they were formerly
worth two millions, and that he is "dis-
appointed and depressed" Now, the
fact is that Edison is what most people
would call a rich man, even in these
modern days. lie has a regular annual
income from the Western Union
Telegraph company of $4,000 in
royalties on old patents. He ia
the principal stockholder in five
manufacturing companies that bear his
name, with an aggregate of $500, 600
capital, and all of them pay large divi-
dends every six months. He has put
$50, 900 in cash into the Downtown
Electrical Illuminating company, which
has earned a dividend, Notwithstanding
the large expenditures which experiments
required. Since the death of Mrs. Edi-
son he has moved with the three chill
dren into a fiat on Eighteenth street,
near Broadway, where the inquisitive
could probably ascertain that he pays his
rent with scTupulous regularity. In
fact, Edison has a very practical side,

. A Wonderful Spring.

Eureka Sentinel
A friend tells us Of q very curious warm
spring in Newark Valley, White Pine
county. 1t pours out Of the mountain
and affords about fifty-nine inches Of
water. The water is almost tepid when
it reaches the surface. Along with the
rushing torrent of water there il con
tinuous flow Of small sea shells of all
hues and descriptions. The flow of
water is never affected by the seasons,
the same as other springs in all parts of
Nevada are known to be. Whether the
season be dry or wet, there is no change
in this particular spring. It is unchange-
able winter or summer. There is also
another curious feature aboutit. It rises
and falls as regularly as the ocean tide.
These variations average about four
inches and are as regular as the sun
itself. Can il be that there is deep sub
terranean connection between this spring
and the Pacific ocean? It certainly be-
HAYES that way, and those who have
watched it for years have come to the
conclusion that there is.

A Wonderful Lake.

In the center of theisland OF Trinidad,
q dot in the Caribbean Sea, just off the
coast OF VenezueIs, there is an asphalt
lake. It Is said to cover about 100 acres,
and is apparently inexhaustible. 1t is q
black, sandy substance, and is believed
to be crude rotten petroleum. A singu-
lar feature of the substance is that, al
though about $4,000 tons are taken out of
this lake annually, it constantly fills up,
so that there is no lessening Of th@ sup-
ply. This singular lake Of paving ma
terial is owned by the Venezuelan gov
eminent, but is leased to q company in
Washington. They have feet of schoon-
ers running to Trinidad, and, having q
monopoly of the business, they import
vastquantities of the material. It is from
this lake that all the asphalt for our pave
ments comes.
