Dubbed a Visionary.

The probability that vehicles driven
by steam would be the future means OF
transportation on land was very well
foreseen 20 years before the last century
closed by Oliver Evans Of Philadelphia,
the inventor of the high pressure steam
engine. AS early as 1856 he petitioned
the legislature Of Pennsylvania for the
exclusive right to use his inventions for
road wagons to be propelled by steam
The word locomotive had not then como
into use. This privilege was denied, but
the Maryland legislature granted the
right for IA years There appeared at
Zone time good prospects of Evans obtain
ing the necessary financial support to
apply his steam engine to the propulsion
of boats and road wagons, but sGne
cautious capitalist OF that day deter
mined to have B. H. L2trobe, an accom-
plished architect and engineer, report
upon the schemes that Evans was adyo-
eating. Latrobe reported strongly
against the steam engine, saying that
the inventor was visionary. This re-
port ruined Evans career and deprived
America of the benefits Of the steam en-
CINE in transportation for two genera
tions longer.
By curious irony of fate the son OF
this same Latrobe performed important
engineering services in building the Bal
timore and Ohio, the first railroad i'll
ehis country where a steam engine was
used successfully .-Locomotive Engi-

lone stormy night about four years
ago he came in here, and he never been
away since. There used to be an old
musician who visited us every night
steady for years. He used to come in
hollow eyed and haggard. He never said
word, but laid dovl his money, got
his bracer--Old Tom gin-always the
same, and went on his way. The time
the cat came in the night man noticed
that the old musician hadn't appeared. 1t
was stormy night, too, just about this
time. The wind howled and moaned
and the lightning flashed in red ribbons,
while the thunder cracked like the guns
of battle and reverberated in boom
that made all the dishes in the house
rattle. 1t was bad night, too dismal
by far for people to be out in. Every
body was sitting around the stove talk
ing. Just as the clock was striking 2,
Mr.. Frazee expressed wonder that the
old man, meaning the musician, hadn' t
come in. At that moment the big black
cat came in and took his place by the
stove and never uttered a meow, and he's
never been away since, and, more than
that he never sleeps If that cat should
go to sleep, I believe the house would
fall down. Once in awhile he gets lit
tie bit sick, and then everything goes
wrong.
'But the strange part of the story is
that the old musician never came back.

spirit of that old man is in that cat.
What makes me believe so is that as
soon as a band passes that door playing
that cat makes for the river as fast as he
can tear. He goes away the moment any
music is heard, and he doesn't tarry
when he starts. What he goes to the
river for I don t know. Perhaps it was
music that drove the old man crazy.

rpE COUNTRY THREATENED BY
THESE SENENiEEN-NEAh
INSECTS.

Their Last Appearance Recalled. They fol-
tow the Centennial and the Worlds
Columbian Exposition
From the Atlanta Constitution.
The seventeen year locust have made
their appearance in Atlanta.
This adds another element OF uneasl-
ness ID the situation. They have come
IN large numbers, and, from the present
outlook. the fruit which has thus far es-
caped the cold snap will fall an easy
prey to this periodical invader OF the
animal family.
The farmers and fruit growers OF the
country will be aStonished to hear OF the
arrival Of the locust, unless they have
calculated on making his acqua ntance
this year.
MR.. FRAZEE's DISCOVERY.
MIR. Orion Frazee made this discovery
yesterday afternoon.
lie twas taking a jaunt through the
woods in the neighborhood of the city,
when his attention was Attracted to the
l0custs. which he discovered on the
trees. He was surprised to observe the
number of the insects, and came across
colony of them on almost every tree in
the forest. Late yesterday afternoon,
on his way home, Mr.. Frazee called at
the Constitution office.
81 thought it might be Of interest to
vou.'' said he, ''to know of the arrival
of the locust The country should be
apprised of the fact, as the danger to
the fruit is very great, and, following in
the wake of the panic, it adds new
wrinkle to the lperplexity of the situa-
ton"
IN TIE WAKE OF THE EXPOSITION.
1t is a singular coincidence that the
locusts should put in their appearance
Immediately after the worlds Columbian
exposition.
The last invasion Of the locusts was in
1877, directly after the Centennial ex-
position, at Philadelphia. The inter
val of ii me between the two expositiOns,
as Between the two appearances, was
seventeen years, the customary period.
The locust comes out of the ground
and attaches itself to the leaves of the
tree. 1t is encased in thin shell, which
opens in the back, allowing the locust TO
make its escape. The insect is very an
noying and considerable injury to the
crops is apprehended

MnenOnics.

Mnemonics, or the art Of rendering ar
tifcial aid to the memory by assoclatlLg
in the minds things difficult to remem-
Der with those which are easy of recol-
lection, is of very ancient origin. 1t is
said to have originated with the Egyp-
tians bat the first person to reduce it to
a system was, according to Cicero, the
poet Simonides, who lived 800 years B.
G. His plan is known as the topical or
locality plan and was in substance as
follows: Choose a large house, with a
number of differently furnished apart
nents in it. Impress upon the mind
carefully all that is noticeable IN the
house, so that the mind can readily go
over all it's parts. Then place a series Of
ideas in the hOuse-the first in the hall,
the next in the sitting room, and SO on
with the rest Now, when one wishes to
recall these ideas in their proper success
sion, commence going through the house,
and the idea placed in each department
will be found to readily recur to the
mind in connection with it. Itis related
that the nnemonic plan was first sag
gested to the poet by a tragic occurrence.
Having been called from a banquet just
before the roof Of the house fell and
crushed all the rest Of the company, he
found Oh returning that the bodies were
so mutilated that no individual could
be recognized but by remembering the
places which they had severally occu-
MED at the table he was able TO identify
them. He was thus led to notice that
the order of places may byFassociation
suggest the order of things. -Pittsburg
