In the salt meadows between Newark
and Jersey City, and within two days IL
had spread or been bred In other parts
OF the state. Two weeks ago q party
of hunters were out on the Hackensack
meadows looking for duck when q
swarm of these strange new creatures
arose from the tail grass and few in

sects were about the size Of the ordinary
locust. and some Of the hunters thought
IL possible that that was what they
were. They made straight for the
hnnters-
Two of the men raised their guns and
fred loads of duck shot into the swarm,
killing at least hundred. The rest OF
she swarm stopped short and made for
the tracks OF the Pennsylvania railroad,
where a party of nearly dozen tramps
were slouchirg along. The hunters
watched them and could see them settle
down about the heads OF the tranps- A
moment afterward loud cries were
heard and the tranps fed down the
track toward Newark, the swarm fol-
lowing them The hunters pushed on

Prof. George Hume, the famous entom-
ologist, of Jersey City He searched
through all his hooks, but could find
no record Of any insect even remotely
resembling this except the mosquito,
and. curiously enough. the mosquito re-
scnbled exactly one half. Cut the in
sect in two in the center and it would
make two perfectly good mosquitoes.
Tho professor decided to call the insect
. twin-screw mosquito bccaus, it had
two blood suckers, and it will hereafter
appear in the books under that name.

HUNTING TIE MOOSE.
A Animal That Is Very Scarce and Hard
to Capture.

Al Animal Iaat Is Very Scarce asd Hard
to Capture.
The only real moose-hunters arc
half-b-eeds or full-blooded Indians.
Without the aid OF these native sports
men the white man has but little chancs
OF capturing antlers for hall or dining
room. When the STOW is deep, and the
white hunter is provided with snow
shoes aad a reasonable amount of wood
craft, no may achieve some success.
The moose, says Frank Lcslic's Weekly.
is nocturnal and feeds ut night upon tho
tops of the gray and golden willow.
During the day be sleeps. but always
with one eye opener, more literally.
with one poadcrors ear ready 70 catch
and transmit the slightest sound TO the
brain ia the great awkward head. The
wise hunter, who understands the habits
OF the game, does not run headlong on
the trail when he strikes il in the snow,
because the moose has thought of that
and doublei on his track. and maybe
ct the moment the trail Is struck, quiet
ly watching the snow-shoers from Is
thickes not moro than twenty feet
away. Hence the hunters with greater
caution constantly make detours from
the trail until the game is located If
tho moose is only wounded when fired
upon he Is dangerous foe, for he will
dance on bis hind legs like dancing
master. and strike with his sharp fore.
feet like an expert fencer. He seldom
uses his antlers unless wounded in one
Of his dancing legs. when he must
needs use his head as an offensive
weapon.
A few moose arc still left in Maine,
with now and then a strsgglcr in north
arm New York, but they, like the buffa
10, have had their day, and it viii not
be long before few skins IN the muse
ums will furnish the only visible trace
OF this grand forest king.

BITTEN BY 4 "BLUE GUM"
Death of Three Persons From Wounds In
h,cted By Negro.

hcted By Negro.
There has always been q superstition
throughout the South that the bite Of blue
gum negro" was as poisonous as that of rat
tlesnake. While this has been the supersti-
ton there have been doubts about the exist
ence Of blue gum negro" Many people
know Of other people who have seen the So
called poisonous negro. but few have ever
been found who have actually seen such a
person.
The fact that such an individual really
exists and that his bite is poisonous has been
fully established among the people along
Saline river. south OF Warren. Ark. For
several years there has lived a family Of ne
grOes in a cabin on the banks Of the river
who have eked ont the usual poor negro ex-
istence by fishing and hunting, the same as
hundreds Of other families have been doing
Tor years in the same nelghbOThood. The
family has never been noted for any peculiar
ity, but recently there has grown up young
man who developed certain vicious tendencies
which We're foreign TO those OF his family lie
has been In constant trouble with his neigh
bOrs and with the authorities on account OF
certain thieving and fighting tendencies. lie
got TO be looked upon as "a bad niger, and
was "A sort OF desperate who was stunned by
all right-minded people of his race.
Recently he got into a fight with another
bad niger" who lived in another neighbour
hood and whom he met at "A dance. In the
fight he bit his opponent through the hand.
with the result that the bitten man became
deathly sick in few moments and IN about
three hours died from the poison IN the
wound Afterwards, when the negro was
arrested ne bit two of the cOnstables. and
both died within four hours of receiving the
wound. This strange incident caused an OK
animation TO be made and 1t was discovered
that the negro was veritable "blue-gum
negro" and the fact that the three deaths
followed so surely and suddenly after the bite
convinced the people that the man Was not
safe TO be left alive and the result was that
the night following the deaths he was taken
from the jail and hanged TO n tree.
