paris green and bran together and let
a grasshopper eat it. He died. Twen-
ty ate him up. They died. -Four hun
dred ate those 20, and they died. Eight
thousand ate those 400. and they died.
A hundred and sixty thousand ate
was troubled no more.

name of the statistician of this story
has become separated from his fig

CURED in Missouri is regarded as evi-
dence of its possibility.-New York
