Millions OF Grasshoppers Killed.

When the English took possession Of
the Island Of Cyprus it was annually
ravaged by grasshoppers to such de.
consideration. In five wears. and at q
cost of only some $500. 900, the insects
were destroyed. and it now costs but
$1,000 year to keep the land free
from their ravages. The method used
to such good effect is now being tried
with results which promise to be equal
ly satisfactory in Algiers and Spain.
When a column of grasshoppers is
known to be approaching a screen
formed of cotton cloth, about sixty
yards in length and one yard in width.
is stretched in front Of it, sometime.
in a straight and sometimes in a "
shaped line. Along the upper edge of
the cloth a strip of oiled or vanished
stuff is sewn over which the insects
cannot crawl; and in front of it great
pits are dug, the borders Of which are
encircled by strips of zinc slanting
downward. These pits are soon filled
with the grasshOppers, which are tram
pied down by barefooted natives and
buried under earth with which disin-
fectants are often mixed. According
to lie Genie CiUu it is estimated that
this year 4OO.OOO.OOO of grasshoppers
were thus destroyed in Algiers by the
middle of June. 1t is needful that the
screens should be spread early in the
morning. when the insects, numbed by
the night cold, are unable to fly over
it and then men should be employed to
keep the column as compact as possi-

"WhO Is This De LuXe?"

An afternoon paper prints story
about Edward T. Steel, who was reap
pointed member of the state board of
education. says a Philadelphia cores
pondent of the New York sun. 1t was
told a few days ago by a gentleman
who has been for many years connect
ed with one of the great book stores OF
this city. and is as follows:
"Mr. Steel came in here some time
ago and desired to be shown some
very fine editions of various works. l
brought out several of our finest speci-
mems of workmanship. binding. print
ing. paper, engraving. etc; in fact. the
well-known edition de luxe. Mr.. Steel
looked at them some time. and then he
said to me: Who is this De Luxe?
have often seen his works. Is he the
author. the publisher. or the binder
merely? was rather taken aback al
such question from man filling his
position. but managed to give him a
correct idea of the edition. aud that II
meant simply luxurious edition. A
short conversation ensued. when, pick
ing up life of Cesar and a copy oi
his commentaries. Mr.. Steel astonishet
me again by reading aloud the title
.Ah, a Life of Cesar" Well, now
which Caesar is it? Do you know"'
4 member of the board of education
said he had been told the story about
Mr.. Steel. but could not believe il, 81
he went direct TO the book store anc
found il true.

Sand Mounds In South America.

Most readers are familiar with the
drifting of snow on level and smooth
surface, as, for example, on 4 frozen
pond or river. Somehow in the
progress of the storm little inequality
Is formed. and from this the drift
keeps on growing. Similarly. on the
desert plains of South America. the
sand gets heaped in mounds by the
wind. These mounds. which are
called medanas by the Peruvians,
seemed to he spread over the desert at
the distance of fifty or sixty yards from
one another. Their height appeared
to be from eight or ten to twenty or
more feet, and they were from twenty
TO fifty yards in circumference.
Their sides TO windward were almost
perpendicular and nearly semicircular
but TO the leeward they declined very
gradually from the summit of the
mound to the extremity on this side;
and on the other two sides the ridges
declined IN height from the summit un-
til they reached the ground.
But it is most remarkable that these
medanas are constantly in slow motion
by the force of the wind while it
blows. The sand from the weather
side continually rises like u vapor from
the bottom to the top. and. after
passing the summit, unites with the
leeward slope. and advances that sids
in proportion As the other recedes
Thus the whole pile moves slowly on
in the same direction till the wind
changes, or until the medana is lost iu
some ravine or against the side of some
solid hill that lies u its way.-Iouth' .

can print it without authority unless
he steals it. 1t is when book is pub
lished that the copyright law steps in

The Story OF q Bracelet.

Ibid YOU lose this?" inquired little
girl of some strangers who were pic
nicing near Cypress point. on the
seventeen-mile drive out OF Monterey,
as she held up pretty gold bracelet.
1t was during the Chautauquan assem-
bly, at Pacific grove in 1887 that party
was made up of those who took part
in the lectures to enjoy the ride, which
is the great feature of a visit to the an
cient city by the sea. To come to
Monterey without making the trip
would be on par with a person goingto
Saratoga and not drink at the mineral
springs, or spending vacation at
Couev island without enjoying surf
bath. In response to the child's ques-
ton a gentleman stepped forward and
took the ornament, which he discover
ed bore the name Of one OF the young
ladies stopping at FL Carmelo, to-
rether with the further inscription that
it was presented to her by admirers
during her engagement 1T the Hay
market theater, London. An inquiry
as to whether anything had been lost
brought negative reply, but the gen
tleman, after giving the child some
slight reward, carefully consigned the
bracelet to his pocket. reserving .
pleasant surprise for the evening. and
all were apprised of the fact that
something would occur after supper
which would make 1T least one heart
beat for joy.
The trip home was made without
special incident, and at last the looked
for time arrived, when one OF the lit
terateurs present, who had been ap-
pointed to perform the duty. called on
Miss Eleanor Calhoun. the talented
young Californian, and returned her
lost Keepsake. which. it then became
known. she dropped the year previous
while lunching at the same spot. and
there it had lain hidden in the sand to
be turned up by an unknown child $

where she became general favorite. On
Thursday evening she attended the X of
T.. ball, and returning home at very early
hour In the morning, fell into Respondent
mood and Would talk but little to her es'
cort. Finally he asked the cause of her
silence, and she told him in mournful
way that she was tired of life and believed
she would kill herself, He pleaded long
and earnestly with her and when they
reached her fathers gate had, as he
thought, fully persuaded Der away from
the idea and turned her mind toward a
more cheerful and healthy strain. But in
this he was deceived, for he had scarce
gone ten PAGES from her when pistol
shot and scream told him that his effort
had been vain one. She was taken into
the house and her wound pronounced very
critical and probably fatal, as the ball had
lodged In dangerous spot.
