Men Burn spontaneously.

When Dickens used SO effectively
the spontaneous combustion Of the
human body as climax for novel,
he had back Of him great deal of
evidence that such a miracle had ac-
tuslly taken place.
In an article on The Pathology
of Man." in the old French "Ency.
clcpedie Methodique," D'Asyr gives
the case of woman so years Of age
who had made practice Of going
to bed drunk eve'y day for many
years. Her bones were finally found
in the bed with the flesh charred
from them, as scientists supposed,
by spontaneous combustion.
The somewhat similar case of
Grace Pitt is given in the transac-
tions of the English Royal society.
She was the wife of iishmonger
who lived at Ipswich. and she was
found stretched on the kitchen floor
by her daughter, burning, the girl
said, .without, fiames." Her body
and legs resembled smoldering Goals
and when water was thrown on her
gave forth the odor of scorched
flesh, accompanied by suffocating
smoke. The girl ran from the
house and called in the neighbers,
who found nothing but bones and
charred flesh left Of the woman.
She, too, had been hard drinker.
A third case, given in a French
essay, is that of Nine. de Boiseon,
80 years old, who near Dol. 1t is
said she was very lean and that for
several years she had drank nothing
but spirits. Her waiting maid

"The Periodical Cicada ID West
Virginia" is the title of forty-fve
page bulletin just issued by the West
Virginia Agricultural Experiment
Station, Which gives summary of
previously recorded facts, with ref
ercnce to the life history, habits,
races, varieties, number of broods,
and distribution of the so-calied
Seventeen Years Locust. Much
additional information obtained by
the author, through investigation
and inquiry, is also given regarding
the number of broods in West
Virginia and the different sections
occupied by each, as well as to the
years in which periodical swarms
will appears. The bulletin is illus
trated with some thirty figures from
original drawings, three photo en-
craving plates, and map of the
state. The map shows the area
occupied by the 1897 swarm, and
indicates the counties in which one
or more Of seven other swarms will
appear within the next sixteen years,
one in 1898 and another in 1900 in
the Northern Panhandle; one in 1901
in the southern counties; 1902 in the
Efstern Panhandle; 1905 in Putnam
County; 1906 in the southwestern
counties; 1910 in Pendleton and sd.
Joining counties; and one in 1914 in
thirty-four counties west and three
counties east of the mountains.
Attention is also called 10 the dis
covery that q common and serious
damage to old apple trees is caused
by tree cricket, and that slight
injuries to apple trees, both by the
cicada and the tree cricket, is often
seriously aggravated by the woolly
louise of the apple. In addition to
the many interesting features Of the
bulletin, it is of especial practical
value to fruit growers and others, in
showing, by means of the map, when
aud where the cicada may be ex-
pected in detructive numbers. Thus,
by consulting the map, the fruit
growers and farmers will be enabled
to prevent serious losses by plant
ing young orchards two or three
before, or the year after cicada
year in their respective localities.
