17-YEAR LOCUST YEAR.
The Locust is a Pest, Likewise a Fa-
vorite Prey--Excellent Fish-Bait.

Our expected guests, the seventeen
year locusts, who will be with US this
summer unless the entomoglogists
speedily find some potent means of
discouraging their proposed arrival,
will receive warmer welcome from
beast and bird than from the human
kind. Ia their train will come swarms
of feathered hunters who will find in
them dainty edible, and make their
lives one weary succession OF aerial
twistiDgs and turnings. Kingbirds,
bluejay, woodpeckers, fly-catchcrs, and
even the larger thrushes and the
smaller haWS, forSaking all else, viii
clcave unto the unfortunate harvest
fly and grow fat upon his remains. II
he grows weary in attempting to out
strip his feathered enemies in flight,
and seeks refuge beneath sheltering
branch, he falls prey TO the Vigilant
squirrel or chipmunk, who finds him
II LoOthScme mvrsel. Under any tree
in the still, sunny days Of the summer
months you may find little heaps of
! yelioW-ribbed gauze wings, testifying
TO the tragedy of the cicddaS who es-
capped the attacks of feathered foes
| only to fall victims to their furred en-
! emy of the rodent species.
All men, tCO, will hunt the unfOr-
tunate locust, not as food, for he is
| not the edible locust of the Scripture,
which, garnished with wild honey,
formed the staple diet OF the ancient
wanderer, but oft OF Il desire to de-
| StrOy him lest he destroy
their fruit trees and vines.
| He is himself a predatory individual
| and does great damage TO vegetation,
wherefore the farmers hold him in
abOmlnation. But one man will there
; be who will rejoice at the advent Of
| the seyenteen-year harvest fly, and
| that is the fisherman. Wien all
| other bats fail, the larya of the sever
| teen-year locust will tempt the weari-
est fish to the h0os. 1t is not the
| full-fledged insect, however, that
avails here, but the larya at the roots
OF trees, getting ready to emerge from
| his sixteen years of underground eX-
| iStence and burst into the glory OF
gauZy wings and more or less musical
Whir
These larvae arc white and unpleas-
antly moist; also they look as if they
might bite or sting or otherwise per
| form ia a harmful manner, but they
can't. You may, by digging down at
the root OF young tree, turn up
number of them at every spade thrust.
Put them in Il box, cover them over
with dirt, then go to the nearest
stream, bait your hook with one Of
them, and throw in your line. If you
don't catch something it is because
the fish are all dead, or else you
weren't born to be an angler. Trout,
| black bass, perch, pickerel and even
bullheads will turn aside in dsdain
! from fly, minnow, worm or crawtsh,
and eagerly grab at the larva Of the
! locust. There is use for everything,
| and il our periodical guests give US
| better fishing, then surely their
visits cannot be regarded as an un-
mitigatcd evil.

The party consisted Of Charles Nc

There has long been family feud
between Montgomery and the Nc
Brides and trouble arose as soon aE
they met on this occasion. In the
alteration Joe Burkheart drew his
pistol and shot Montgomery, the ball

very dangerously wounded, so danger

BULLET PROOF.
Remarkable Invention by a Tailor In
Germany.

BERLIN, April 12.-The experiments
made with Herr Doves bullet
proof cloth cause great comment
Dove, the inventor, dressed himself
in his bullet-proof coat and offered
himself as a target. While the rife
was being aimed at the tailor the
spectators were strung to an extreme
state of nervousness and instinctively
closed their eyes in anticipation of
seeing Dove killed upon the spot. But
after the report of the rifle rang out,
and the tailor was seen standing ap-
parently, unhurt, there was feeling
of immense relief among all present.
DOVE evidently noticed the state of
excitement produced by the expert
ment, of the OnlOokers, and said, 81
feel nothing" A second shet was
then fired directly at the tailor's
heart, but it had the same effect as
the first: the tailor was absolutely un-
hurt and both bullets were found i'm
bedded ia the bullet-proof coat which
covered his breast and body in the
manner which it is proposed to adopt
for soldiers, leaving the arms and legs,
as we'll as the head, without protec-
tIun.
