FIRE AT THE poor FARM.
Ware County Lost Il Building and
Some Valuable Trees.

Ware County Lost "a Building and
Some Valuable Trees.
Waycross, Ca. Sept. 2.-Fire broke out
to-day about / o'clock at the Ware coun-
ty poor farm. and before the flames could
be checked the main hospital building was
burned down, together with all the fur
niture, bedding, etc, in the house.
There was great CONSERVATION among
the inmates Of the home, but none of the
unfortunates were injured in any way.
The origin of the fire is a mystery, as it
caught upstairs in a wing of the building
where there is no fiue or fireplace, and
there had been no fire there for weeks.
The loss on the building is estimated at
$1,000, with 81 200 or 81 500 insurance
The superintendent of the Home. Hon
j. A. 'ason, was in the city when the
fire occurred, and has just learned of the
occurrence. He says he will fix up some
of the other buildings on the place for the
paupers.
The commissioners of the county will
rebuild the place. 1t is probable they win
take the matter up at their meeting Mon
day.
Standing near the building that was
burned were some large bay trees, which
Supt Cason says were worth $50 apiece.
They were destroyed

LOCUsTs IN LONDON's zoo.
One of Them Presents Its Museum
With "a Large Family.
From the London Chronicle.


From the London Chronicle.
Childish visitors to the Geological Gar
dens often take a half-tearful pleasure in
wondering what would happen if a lion or
a tiger broke loose and came careering
down upon the crowds assembled in the
broad walk to listen to the band. There Is
something exciting in the very idea, and
they would probably have difficulty in
realizing that at the present moment the
escape of some of the tiny inhabitants
OF the insect house might be attended with
results infinitely more serious. Since
March last a solitary locust, which came
over TO England in a bunch of bananas
and was thence transferred to Regents
Park has been inhabiting one of the glass
cases i'm the insect house very comfort
ably. Last week, however, the insect
suddenly presented its benefactors with
lively family, numbering some $50 to 200
baby locusts.
The little creatures are still so small
that they can only be distinguished with
difficulty as they cling to the green leaves
put in for their food; but in a short time,
no doubt, they win have developed con-
sderably, and if a few pair escape and
were not Immediately destroyed by the
very long to overrun the country, more
especially as a family of 80 IS quite a
moderate allowance for a single locust,
500 or 400 being a not uncommon number.
Indeed the safe-keeping of a family of
locusts must be almost as anxious q task
as the preservation of colony of mi
crobes.
The keeper of the insect house, who was
showing off the new inmates on Saturday.
remarked that no decision had yet been
made as to their fate, but he supposed only
a few would be kept as specimens for the
amusements of visitors.
II shall take good care they do not
escape" he added: although 1 suppose
that If the climate were suitable we should
have had them before now. Lots come
over to the docks with the foreign fruit"
The head of the family was not an invit-
ing-looking creature and, even with the
accompaniment of Wild honey, did not
promise to be very palatable. The keeper
was inclined to agree with this opinion,
but believed that locusts were very good
fried. He did not think that John the Bap-
list could have eaten them raw; he had
heard that there was a locust plant.
However" he continued, in a liberal
spirit; after all. they are purely vegetable
eating creatures, and 1 don't know why
they should not be just as good or better
than whe!ks and wrinkles and such things
that are eaten"
So perhaps the Geological Society will
find a way out Of its difficulty by starting
fried locusts" as a specialize in connec-
ton with their restaurants, to be served
at tea instead Of shrimps.
