HOLE-BORING CRICKETS.
Peculiar Insects Which Are Ravaging Il
Grain Crops of Algeria

Peculiar Insects Which Are Ravaging the
Grain Crops of Algeria.
A peculiar species of cricket, the
StG11rOnotus n1drOccdnuS, infects the
eastern provinces of Algeria, and is
ravaging all the growing crops OF
grain.
This destructive insect, bred on the
dry and bare highlands of the Tell,
has been descending into the cultivat-
ed plains toward the shores of the
Mediterranean during the past four
years.
The insects mouth is armed with
two strong horny hooks in the upper
jaw, moving horizontally, crossing
each other like the blades of scissors.
With these, having climbed a corn
stalk, they first quickly strip off the
beard and husks of the ear of corn,
which they allow to fall to the ground,
and then cut open every grain, devour-
ing only its farinaceous part, and this
to the last crumb.
Five or six insects will ascend a
cornstalk at once, till it bends under
their weight; millions and millions
are in the field, swarming all round,
seeking an unoccupied stalk, for they
will seldom eat the husks or the stalk
itself.
The female insect, which is much
larger than the male, lays her eggs
about the end of June or beginning of
July. She uses dry and sterile ground,
in which she bores a hole an inch deep
by the instrumentality of valvular
sucking-tube at the extremity of her
abdomen.
Applying the end of this tube to the
grains of earth or sand, which are
lossened by its moisture, she lifts and
removes them sticking to the tube,
and continues the process till the hole
is excavated. Then she deposits in
the hole a cylindrical ovary, a case or
shell of hardened mucilage, contain
ing about forty eggs, very neatly
packed together.
The eggs remain nine months in the
earth, and are slowly Matched by the
heat of the sun, till the spring of the
following year, when little white
caterpillar comes out of each egg; it
is speedily transformed into cricket;

STRAY STATISTICS.

THERE were ], 25S accidental deaths in the
city Of New York during the year ending
July g Of this number only five were
caused by electric light wires, while four
teen were occasioned by Illuminating gas.
THE statisticians OF the Pennsylvania
weather service have calculated the rain
fall of the State during the summer, and
find that if gathered in one place it would
form lake 81, 900 miles square, and thirty
five feet deep. During the three days of
the Johnstown flood nearly 7,0O0,00O,OO0
tons of water fell upon the mountains of
Northern Pennsylvania.
ACCORDING to u German contemporary
the telephone nets of the world were as fol-
lows last year: United States, $50 nets, with
100000 subscribers; Germany, l67 nets, with
$4,000 subscribers; England, 125 nets, with
10000 subscribers; Sweden, $50 nets, with
$1,000 subscribers; France, 80 nets, with
10,600 subscribers; Italy, 40 nets, with $500
subscribers; Switzerland, II nets, with
5000 subscribers; Russia, So nets, with 1900
subscribers.
THE marriage-rate appears to be on the
decline not only in the United Kingdom, but
also throughout Europe. In England and
Wales bachelors now marry at mean age
of 26.2 years, and spinsters at 246 years,
the age at marriage exhibiting tendency
to increase. The average number of births
to q marriage IS for England and Wales
about Al, the average for Italy being SIS,
Prussia 4.92, Austria, 3.73, and France 3.42
In England and Wales the average dura-
ton of married life has been computed at
81 years.
THE total number of theaters known to
have been actually destroyed by fire during
the past thirteen years, says Fire and Water,
is HI; the number damaged 149. The killed
reached the fearful total of 2.215. The
BLACKLIST cross has to be placed against the
years 1881, 1888 and 1887. The first of these
years included the great catastrophes at
Nice and Vienna, by which alone $50 lives
were sacrificed; 1887 was the year of the
destruction of the Opera Comique in Paris,
and the lamentable disaster at Exeter.

A Snipe Dresses Its Wounds.

An interesting account of how birds
treat wounds by surgical methods was
recently presented to the Physical So
ciety of Geneva by NJ. Fatio. In this
it was stated that the snipe had been
observed to apply dressing of feath-
ers to wounds, and even to bandage a
broken leg. Any creature with legs
as long and brittle as a snipe's ought
really to know how to take care OF
them. A case recorded of snipe,
both of whose legs had been broken by
a misdirected shot, is the most inter-
esting example of snipe surgery. The
poor creature contrived to apply dress
ings of feathers and sort of splint
to both legs, but unfortunately, in do
ing so, its beak got wound fast with
feathers, and, as it could not Use its
claws to get rid of them and open its
mouth, it was nearly dead from hunger
when it was found. In another case.
a snipe that flew away with a broken
leg was afterwards found to have
forced the fragments into a parallel
position and secured them by q liga-
ture of kind of fat-leaved grass
wound around the limb spirally and
fixed by glue-lile substapce Dem

INSTEAD OF GLASS.
Substitute Which Is Neither UnyieIdin
Nor Brittle.

Substitute Which Is Neither UnyieIding
Nor Brittle.
According to common saying, every
thing has the defects of its qualities.
If a man possesses a strong will, he is
very likely to prove opinionated and
obstinate; if he is mild and teachable
in his temper, he may be found some
what deficient in resolution and indie
pendence. So it is with glass. As
made at present, it may be accounted
almost perfect in its transparency, but
it is extremely unyielding and brittle.
A writer in the Pail Mall Gazette in
forms us that substitute is now pro-
posed. which is believed to be free
from these defects.
To describe it briefly, it is fine wire
netting covered with a prepared var
nish, which permits the light to pass
through as freely as glass of the varie-
ty known as cathedral. 1t is almost
as flexible as a sheet of canvas, and is
air-tight and water-tight
Dr. Ford, the inventor, has been
working at the problem for years. and
after experimenting with many prod
ucts, he found that, by passing the
wire netting through a series of baths
of linseed oil, chemically prepared. he
could produce a material with the
properties of amber.
1t is at once tough and elastic, and
can not be broken even by very con-
siderable weight falling upon it. Tho
London company, that is working the
patent, displayed in the Royal Aqua
rum recently a number of productions
in which the new material is utilized,
but perhaps the most striking of all
was the roofing of the aquarium itself.
Unless ones attention was directed TO
the roof it would never strike a visit
or that the dome was covered not
with glass. but with another material.
In their last report, the directors OF
the aquarium state that the change
has effected a saving of over two hun
dred pounds year in glass and labor;
that there is now no danger of falling
glass, and that the insurance rate has
been reduced twenty-five per cent.
The material is made in sheets ten
feet by four feet, and by the use of
varnish on the overlapping edges they
are practically connected into one
great covering. 1t is unaffected by
heat up to two hundred and thirty de-
grees, and is a non-conductor.
The first cost is perhaps greater
than that of cheap glass, but the new
material compares favorably with the
dearer qualities, and its desirability
must, of course, be taken into consid-
Grafton. A coarser material, termed
''carboline," is utilized for the roof
and walls of soldiers huts, and the
government has given orders for it's
use.

COUNTRY AND CITY.
Why the Farming Population Is Entitled
to Every Body's Respect.

to Every BOdy's Respect.
Some city people have acquired a
most unfortunate habit of sneering at
and ridiculing the country and country
people. 1t is not the active, successful
class of people who do this. Such have
too much sense, and, besides, large
proportion of them were themselves
cOuntry-born and bred. Any one hav-
ing true appreciation of the Importance
of the farming population as the basis
of public prosperity can not fail to treat
it not merely with respect, but with
Difference. Every class has some Pc
'uliarities. Those OF country people
are such as adapt them to the necessi-
lies of their life, and it is upon the
workers in the country, rather than
upon idlers anywhere, that the prog
ress of mankind must always be based.
People from the city can learn much
if they will visit the country with eyes
and ears open to discover what is new,
rather than pursue the opposite policy
of sneering at every thing. May be,
if they will not be too supercilious,
they may find in their unassuming
country friends much of value to be
learned. 1t was wise man, as well
as thorough gentleman, who once re-
marked that he never found any one,
however unprepOssessing in appear
ance, who did not know on some sub
ject more than he did. So, while shall
low pates went through life constantly
poking fun at somebody, he was all
the time learning something.
There is besides another aspect to
modern country life too little appreci-
ated. 1t now requires more thought
and brain power to achieve notable
success on the farm than it does
in almost any other avocation
of life. Mere muscle, fitting
for the toughest kind of
manual toll, is no longer what is main
ly in demand on the farm. 1t is true,
hard work is yet to be done, requiring
much muscular development, but it
must be educated and skilled muscle.
N1lIO do WOl1 cto OOOJ L1uOG OO GuOE-
Oughly trained.
Through most of the Northern States
at least, the large majority of soil til
lers are as diverse as possible from the
ideal of the farmer and his life brought
from Europe, never properly fitting
this country, and now more unlike ex-
listing farming than ever before. The
farmer of to-day has to work hard,
but he must work with thought as
we'll as with hand. He must possess
an amount or current information such
as scarcely any other branch of bust
ness can require. And every year
sees, we believe, a large proportion OF
American farmers reaching this high
standard. American Cultivator.

thousands of marvellous cures effected in

given fair trial, or money paid for it will
be promptly refunded. Torpid liver, or

HOME AND FARM.

Never wash jelly-bag, strainer-
cloth, pudding-bag or dumpling-net
with soap. The next thing that is put
into or passed through these things
will surely taste of the favoring of al
kali.
Cut oats with bran makes one of
the very best feeds for the work teams
during the summer. There is little
or no waste, while they make a good
ration for the growth of bone and mus
Gle.
Large seed is better than small.
They furnish more nutriment to the
young plants than the small seeds do,
which gives them a vigorous start
early in the season, and enables them
to keep ahead of the plants grown
from smaller seed.
Sitting hens may be broken up by
tying long red flannel rag two inches
wide tightly around the leg. The CT
feet is magical. At the sight of the
trailing flannel she will not sit down,
and at last is glad to go to the roost
with the others. Farm and Home.
The farmer who strays off habitu-
ally to town or elsewhere for pastime
loses interest in his work, forgets what
is to be done and goes down to the dogs
by sure degrees, leading pinched and
miserable life on land that might have
supplied him and his with more than
competence.-N. Y. Tribune.
Old pastures that are overrun with
weeds can be best utilized for sheep,
as they will eat on the young weeds
and keep them down. Many weeds
are valuable, so far as their use for
food is concerned, but are undesirable
in place Of regular salable crops. They
can be utilized when young by pastur-
ing sheep upon them, and if weeds are
not allowed to seed grass will again
take possession of the field.
