Voracious Grasshoppers Devastate All

Reports from all the counties in Western
New York agree in the respect that the
rava;es Of grasshoppers are Unprecedented
Farmers in Niagara county complain that
the insects are so greedy that they not alone
devour oats, buck wheat, corn and vegeta-
bles, but are eating the olage of the trees
and attacking fences. They are so raven.
Gus as to eat weeds and even the bitter
burdock.
in Chautauqua county the vineyards are
suffering from depredaiions of grasshoppers.
Bushels Of grapes can be picked up where
the stems have been eaten in two by the
hoppers. Florists and hoSticultursts have
tired poisonous washes for the leaves OF
their plants, farmers have set ducks, turkeys
and chickens loose in the fields but no one
has done more than to turn the pests into
the grounds Of his neighbors In the city
grasshoppers are as thick rs flies and the
parks are full of them. All lawns and
meadows are suffering and the pests seem
to multiply like the locust plague in Egypt.
Thousands of dollars worth of damage will
be done in this part OF the State.

After person has examined the exhibits

In the west gallery the Gray National Tel
autograph Company make an exhibit OF tho
last and, one might almost say. greatest cleo
trical marvel. Professor Elisha Gray has
been known TO the world many years for his
improvements In telegraphy. but his latest
invention, the telautogrlph or long-dlstance
writing machine. quite eclipses his previous
efforts. More or less has been hearS of this
device In the last few years. but II has only
recently been perfected for commercial uses.
II consists OF two Instruments. n transmitter
AMI receiver, each provided with II roll OF
paper OF convenient size for writing. Both
together are about half tho size of q type
writer. In writing ut the trlnsmttcr, an or
dinary pencil is used. near the point of which
two small cords are fastened mt right angles
to euch other. These connect with the In
strument, and, following the movements
OF the pencil, regulate the current impulses
which guide the recoving-pen Mt the distant
station. The paper Is shifted forward by u
little lever. giving an electric impulse
which moves I'm like manner the
paper in the receiver at the other
end of the line. The receiving pen is n capil-
larry glass tube supplied with ink and placed
at the junction of two aluminium arms. The
electrical impulses conducted over the wires
move the pen of the receiver simultaneously
and In the same directions rs the pencil ofthe

NOVEL MUSICAL ESrERrAISMrYr.

The most novel musical programme yet
given at the Fair attracted a large audience
TO Festival Hall. Wagnerian music. Irish
jig dances by pipers and the rude tom-tom
beating by Oriental tribes followed in rapid
succession until tho audience was dazed.
This was one of the popular attractions ar
ranged by the special committee to increase
the attendance at the Exposition.
Tho first number on the programme was
"Tannhauser," by the Royal Infantry Band
of the German Village. This was followed
by Irish melodies by singers from Lady Alb
erdeen's Irish village. Tnen there was ''yod-
ling by the Swiss mountain trio. Fifteen
Javanese musicians beat trowangas and
played on soolngs and trumpets. The songs
and dances OF the Dahomeyans proved AN at
tractive feature, being followed by charac-
terlstc songs and dances blythe Indian chiefs
and squaws OF the Plaisance. The grand
concluding feature was "a medicine song and
scalp dance by Chief Crazy Horse.
