They Are Found In Great Numbers and
Are Eaten bv the Natives.
Scientific American.
The British Consul at M0gador mentions
in his last report that while on an excursion
inland, about a days journey from Mega
dor, he met flights of locusts. He says it
was an astonishing and interesting though
painful sight. the air being in some parts so
thick with them that they formed dense
living brown fog, through which he could
hardly find his way, W bile they so COM
pletely covered the ground that the utmost
caution was necessary in walking, as he
could not tell whether he was treading on
soft sand, hard slippery rock or what
Many birds Toasted on the insects, includ-
ing large fights Of gulls from the sea, and
beasts evidently enjoy their share, for In
the middle of the densest swarm he saw a
fine red fox dancing about in the most
frantic manner. leaping Up and swapping
dozens OF the locusts in the air, until. see
ing the stranger, he suddenly dropped on
all fours, and quickly vanished in the live
fog. Not only did the barbel get their
share of the novel food (the Consul used the
locustS successfully as bait for them), but
some of the fish of the Atlantic were found
gorged with loeusts which had been blown
off the land by easterly winds. As usual,
they were extensively eaten by the native
population.

The bedrooms of the Orient are far differ

of hair mattresses and spring beds. Most
OF these Mongolian beauties don't know

The japanese girl never needs to shake
up her pillow, and il is her neck rather than
her head that lies upon it, The same kind
OF pillows are used in China and Siam, and
as to the average woman Of Hindostan. she
does not know what pillow means. You
could buy her whole wardrobe for four
shillings, and she sleeps on the floor while
her husband cuddles himself In spoon fash

The Korean pillow is about eight inches
square and foot long. [ have seen some
that were two feet long. They are as hard
as though they were f1at-irons wrapped in
cloth, and there is nothing comfortable
about them. The Egyptians use large pill
lows, and the beauties of the harems sleep
on big diyans, which are often covered with
Turkish rugs.
The richest woman in China, whose hus-
band died worth ten millions, has bed
fully six feet square. lt is made of teak
wood. and it Is covered with ropes instead
of mattress. The old lady lies on can

not know what springs are.
The Japanese sleep Oh the floor. They
have thick quilts, which they spread on the
floor at night, and which they pack away in
