Saturday night Helena was visited by a
swarm of small black bugs that flew into
the city in myriads and became for tue
time being not only nuisance but pest.
About 9 O'Clock they were first noticed.
They were attracted by the lights in all
parts of the city, and wherever there was
an electric lamp they clustered in thous-
ands, falling upon the sidewalks with a
sound like the pattering of rain drops and
strcwing the pavements so thick that it
was impossible to take a step without
crushing a half dozen of them. Where
windows were open and unprotected by
screens they flew in, attracted by the
lights indoors, and for few moments
made life miserable for such as were un-
fortunate enough to come in contact with
them.
