Killed by Locusts.

A recent telegram from Algiers,
Africa, says the French savant, NJ.
Kunckel Herculais, the president of
the chronological Society, who was
employed on the government mis-
sion of investigating the locust plague
in this province, has met a horrible
death. While examining deposit
of locusts' eggs at the village of Sidi-
eral, he was overcome with fatigue
and the heat and fell asleep on the
ground. While sleeping he was at
tackled by swarm of locusts. On
awaking he struggled desperately to
escape from the living food. He set
fire to the insect-laden bushes near
him, but all his efforts proved ineffec-
tual, and when finally the locusts
left the spot his corps was found.
His hair, beard, and neck-tie had
been entirely devOured.
M. Herculais was a member of the
French Academy and the author of
several valuable works on insects.

Luxurious Trains.

The following description of the
cars composing the Pullman new
rans-continental train is taken from
the New York Sun: The trains con-
sist of vestibule drawing room and
sleeping cars, an observation car, a
dining car and a composite smoking
car. The vestibule composite car is a
magnificent affair, and is exclusively
for men. A forward end is set apart
for baggage. A compartment be-
tween the baggage room and the
main saloon is fitted up as a barber
shop and Ia bath room. Adjoining
the bath room is a cafe. The rear
section of the car is a smoking room.
The vestibule sleeping cars, of which
there are four on this train, are said
by the managers of the Pullman
company to be the best examples of
their work ever turned out. They
each contain twelve sections of two
double berths and two drawing
rooms. Movable incandescent lights
are attached to each section, in order
to allow one to lie in a berth and
read. In one of these sleeping cars
is a bath room for ladies. The din~
ing car, besides containing ten tables,
at which forty persons can dine at
once, also contains kitchen large
enough to allow four cooks to work
at once. -.eAn observation car will
bring up the rear. The body is an
open sitting room, finished in hard
wood and furnished with upholster-
ed rattan arm chairs and lounges.
Among its conveniences are writ
ing desk, large case Of selected
books, movable tables and an up
right piano. But the main feature
of the car, and the one which gives
it It's name is the deep recess at the
end of the car. The platform will
accommodate about twenty persons. In
the forward portion of this car will
be a small office, which will be oc-
cupied by stenographer and type
writer, whose duty it will be to write
and mail the letters of any or all Of
the tourists gratis.

Whether at home or in stranger cline,
In days of Joy, or sorrows sterner time

And by Thy power to do Thy holy will,
