to Electric Light
Companies.
The cricket nuisance is a nuisance
to be sure, in this city, and millions of
these insects can be seen nightly COW
ering the streets and sidewalks under
each of the electric lamps. Pedestrians
can not avoid stepping upon them and
hundreds are seen lying crushed and
dying, or are swept out of saloon and
store doors near by. The electric
light man who trims the lamps daily
takes out bushels of dead ones from
the globes, where they have flown
only to be killed by the electric cur
rent. Merchants, particularly dry
goods dealers, suffer real damage by
these pests, as they get into their
clothing and dress goods and destroy
very much annoyed by them also,
as they cover the bar and glasses, and
when nice mixed drink or glass of
beer is set before a customer, zip, drops
cricket into it and the drink is
spoiled. Ed. DiesselhOrst, at Turner
hall bar, was greatly worried last
night. The large mirror and the pic
lures back of the bar were black with
the clinging crickets, which could not
be swept away. Mr.. Wolfson, at his
bazaar, kept a clerk constantly en-
ployed till closing time last night
sweeping the bugs out of his store.
In the street cars they collect on the
seats and passengers have to brush
| them away before sitting down. They
are particularly annoying to the la
dies, who scream and claw at them in
great style when they alight on their
bare arms or Threats, or get tangled
in their hair. One lady, evidently
from the north and with her ideas
filled with bugabOo stories of taran tu-
las, centipedes, etc., in Texas
by northern friends, stepped in
to a large mess of the crickets
in front of the Two Brothers saloon
yesterday morning. Looking down
she saw the black, wriggling mass,
and with scream of ''Oh, the tar
antulas ~ she gathered her skirts
and DATED across the street
at a very lively pace, much
to the amusement of several by
ISLANDERS who saw and appreciated
her very natural mistake.
At the city hospital the electric
light near by has been dscon tinued
on account of the nuisance these in
sects are to the patients. The electric
lamp at the crossing of Military plaza
and Commerce street, in front of the
Catholic Orphanage, was eXtinguish-
ed by the crick cts filling the globe

Musical Talent in Tyrol.

Musical talent is, without comparison,
the gift Of nature most widely dillused in
Tyrol. and to a stranger, particularly an
Englishman, it is amazing tofind a finely
developed ear and q capital voice in the
commonest country lSit, who scarcely
knows his A b Z, and to whom Bismarck
is an unheard Of being.
To be able to Join with a second or
third voice in a song which they have
never heard before is a very common ac-
cOmplishmcut. For instance. a lady Of
my acquaintance was n afternoon play
ing and singing a Vicnnese air. The
windows were open. and two country
lasses passing along the road stopped and
listened for a little time. Presently,
when at my request my friend repeated
the song. Tie two girls fell in, one with
the second and the other with the third
voice.
Being a stranger in the country, my
friend would not believe that the girls
were common peasant lasses, unac-
qulnted with the piece Of music which
she played; and SO, in order 10 convince
her, | sent down for them and made
them accompany her in a number Of
Bongsarhich she sang 10 try them. Then
information aud expressive voices excited
her admiration nc less than the piano die
that of the buxom lasses. -NouthNs Com

BURNETT BUDGET.

Statistical Report of the County for the
Geological Department at Washington.D
Special Telegram to the Statesman.
BURNETT, November 12.-J. j. M. Smith,
mining engineer of this place, has just
completed "a statistical report of the
timber and timber lands of Burnet county
for the geological department at WASH
ington. The report gives the timbered
area as three-fouths of the area of the
county and the principal varieties of tim
Der as follows: Post oak, live oak, Spanish
oak, dwarf oak, white oak, pecan, elm,
mulberry, blackberry, cedar, mesquite,
sycamore, ash, cypress, cedar willow and
wild china. The most valuable
of these is, of course, the
cedar, though Mr. Smith claims
that the mesquite is destined to become a
valuable wood for cabinet work, as the
grain is good, and it possesses the rare
quality of no shrinkage in seasoning.

One Way of Advertising.

am not much of a grumbler about edi-
torial incomPetency myself, but will go so
far, anyway, as to say that il l were the
editor of "a great New York daily" there is
one reform at least that | should start with
jump The very first order | should issue
would be to stop the free advertising Of sec
ond and third class actors and actresses by
printing silly items about them In the news
columns This sort of thing has gone SO far
In New York as to be nuisance. run
over nearly all the papers, ono way or an
other, and find it everywhere. Paragraphs
about actors and actresses appear almost
daily. Their goings and comings are told,
and where they have been and what they
have done, and if there is something spicy"
to tell of them, all the better. The smallest
incident Is magnifed to the proportions OF a
matter Of Importance. An actor buys dog
and he gets big advertisement free-gratis
for nothing. An actress has spat behind
the scenes, or intimates that some actor has
trifed with such affections as she may hap
pen to possess, and it is written up In ex-
tense and promptly printed.-New York

Divorce in Different states.

New York recognizes but one ground
marital infdelity-for divorce. It's law is
the most stringent in the Union. In most Of
the other states there is marked similarity
in the grounds for divorce. In all-e1cept
South Carolina, which has no divorce law
marital infidelity is the main ground. In
nearly all other the causes are cruelty, habit
ual drunkenness and abandonment or neglect
to support. In some states the courts have
taken liberal view Of cruelty and given 1t a
wide scope. In others divorce will be granted
only when extreme cruelty or personal vio-
lence is proved.
The broadest provision Is found in the law
Of Connecticut Itgives the courts discretion
to grant divorce for "any such misconduct
as permanently destroys the happiness OF
petitioner and defeats the purpose OF the
marriage relation" That might make the
Nutmeg state q popular resort for divorce
seekers from other parts Of the country, but
unfortunately for them a three years resi-
dence is required Of every petitioner. A
years residence is a common requirement In
many states. But California, Nevada and
Nebraska offer special inducements In this
respect. They require Of the complainant
residence Of only Six months.-New York
Herald.

Mineral Manures of tho South.

It is mainly through the development of
artificial manures that chemical skill has
come to the aid of the farmer The guano
deposits found on oceanic islands In the re-
gions of scanty rainfall for a time afforded
q means Of restoring the most essential ma
terials which cropping removes from the soil.
These supplies were made serviceable for
some decades, but unhappily, though the
store Of guano was large, the demand was SO
great that in q few years the material was
exhausted. At this stage the laboratory gave
its greatest contribution to agriculture by
showing that certain minerals which exist in
large quantities in many lands afford ma
terials by which, at relatively small cost, the
plants may DO supplied with potash, soda
and, what is more important, the rare ele-
ment, phosphorus
To the combined work Of the geologist and
chemist we owe this precious gift of mineral
manures. 1t is scarcely more than n score Of
years since they began to find place in our
agricultural processes The South Carolina
deposits, which for moro than decade have
been the principal source Of supply, abounded
In the fields and along the shores which had
been titled for q century, and yet the value Of
the material was not recognized until a
chemist, guided by purely scientific curiosity,
undertook to determine what was the compo-
sition of the peculiar nodules which met his
eye. At the present time in this country
alone the manufacture of artificial manuHs
which have these phosphates for their most
essential Ingredient amounts to value Of
more than S30,000,000 annually, and 1t is
evident that the industry is but at its begin
ng.-Professor N. IS.
