LOCUSTS IN MOROCCO.
They Devour Two Children and Are De
vastating the Green Crops.

They Devour Two Children and Are De-
vastating the Green Crops.
Some curious information in regard to To-
Gusts in Morocco is contained in the last
British Consular report from MOgador. says
the London Times. During the spring the
country was ravaged by immense swarms of
the insects, which were first reported from
the southern province of Soos about the
end of October, were overrunning the
neghboring land Of Haha and Shiadma by
the end of November, and were subse-
auently heard Of in various parts of the in
terror, and still later from the important
grain-producng districts around MaZagan
and Casablanea.
Late reports from Mazagan were that they
were settling down there, and busy laying
their eggs. which caused great anxiety for
the spring crops, the young locusts, though
unable 10 fly, being even more unsparing
in their deyaStati0ns than the adult insects.
In addition TO the damage done to the green
crops, groves of olives and almond trees
were stripped of their bark in several dis
tricts, where the next yield of oil and al
monds will be seriously affected. In some
places farmers had to hnrriedly gather their
olives before they were ripe to save them
from the voracious insects.
No general and continued measures are
taken, as In Algeria and Australia, against
these pests, the only way In which their
numbers seem to be materially reduced be-
ing the collection OF large quantities for sale
as food among the natives. They are not
''unclean" to either Jew or Mohammedan,
though prawns, to which they are compared
in flavor by some Europeans who have
tasted them, are not eaten, Taken into the
town in camel loads in heaving saekfuls of
rudy brown or greenish- yellow insects (the
first color in autumn, the latter in spring.,
they are first boiled in salt and water, then
fried or parched. The same method seems
to have been in vogue, according to old
writer's. early in the last century, when,
properly preserved, the locust was looked
upon as convenient form of food for tray-
elers to take with them on the road

The Supreme Court Refuses to Reduce
His Bail.
The attorney for Dr. 5. P. Hail. charged
with the murder Of Ida ShaddOck, appeared
before the Supreme Court yesterday morn
ing and argued for a reduction of the prison
er's bail, which he claimed to be excessive.
The amount of the bail as fixed by Police
Judge Morley when Hall was committed
was $4,000, and the prisoners friends and
attorneys labored industriOuSly to secure it
for him, but failed. Then his attorneys,
Mcguire and Craig. applied to the Supreme
Court for a reduction of the bail to So, 900
and were successful; but Hall could not fur
nish acceptable sureties, and he decided TO
ask the court for another reduction, and en-
ployed George A. knight to present his case.
Mrs. Hall was present while knight
talked for her imprisoned husband, but
neither her appearance nor Knights elo-
qucnce moved the Judges The case was
taken under adysement at the close Of the
lawyers appeal, and a few hours later an
adverse decision was rendered.

THE TRUTH.

Friend, though Thy soul should burn Thea, yst
be still
Thoughts were not meant for strife. nor
tongues for swords.
He that sees clear is gentlest Of his words,
And that's not truth that hath the heart to
kill
The whole worlds thought shall not one truth
fulfill,
Dull in our age and passionate in youth.
No mind of man hath found the perfect
truth;
Nor shalt thou find 1t; therefore, friend, be
still.
Watch and be stiIl. nor hearken to the fool,
The babbler of consistency and rule;
Wisest is he who, never quite secure.
Changes his thoughts for better day by day:
Tomorrow some new light will shine, be sure,
And thou shalt see thy thought another way.
