They Gather I'm such Quantity ~ to He

In the Scientific American Prof.
vations on the migrations Of insects.
Once In the San Gabriel valley of Cal
ifornia he saw flight of yellow but
terfiies which passed continuously for
three or four days to the northeast.
For sixteen square miles the column
moved and one could not look out
doors without seeing the fiuttering bits
of yellow in the air. Yellow butter
flies are famous for their mysterious
migrations and some times out at sea
they will cover the decks and riggings
OF ships.
Migrations of locusts are very de-
vastating. Hardly a western town has
not at some time suffered from these
pests, and after they have descended
on town they may be swept from
the doorways like so much snow. In
Colorado locusts once covered rail-
way track so completely as to clog the
wheels of a train and stop II.
In Russia the migrations of locusts
are looked upon as a national calam-
ity, and II the accounts were not sub

Gusts that were devastating the land.
A vast region was literally enveloped
IN the clouds OF insects that covered
the ground and filed the air with a
black cloud. The hordes crawled in
to the houses. even In the beds and
dishes and changed a fertile region of
fields and crops into dreary desert.
Russian farmers fought the locusts

Beavers are once more recovering in
number in the northern part of Amer
lea. Since they became so scarce that
trapping did not pay the few that re-
NAMED have made fresh colonies. They
are now found as near TO the Atlantic
coast as New Brunswick, where moose
hunters report their presence In places
where they have not been seen for
years. New Brunswick has for some
timo enforced close time for beavers.

noted that both arctic whales and the
antarctic sea lions are increasing. Four

The Belle of Munster.

The great bell from which Schiller
took his motto for the Lied Won der
Glocke" will shortly belong to the
voices OF the past. This is the bell of
the Munster. at Schaffhausen. IL was
cast at Basel in 1885, though in this
century the families and guilds which
supplied the great belfries Of Europe
were at Nuremberg and Augsburg and
in Holland, while the Kings or
Klinghe family in northwest Germany
gave their name 70 the domestic bell
wherever the German language is
spoken. The Glocke Won Schaffhausen
was originally a passing bell. and it
has tolled It's own passing for more
than a century. A piece Of the metal
broke away more than 100 years ago
and a new and dangerous crack was
revealed last year. For the sake of
its historic past IL was treated with all
possible care; It was covered up in
winter and its voice was heard only
on Sunday In summer. Now it Is TO be
melted with the four other bells of the
minister and a new peal Will take its
place. Another historic bell In Swift
zerland Is the silver bell In the min
ster at Berne. 1t rang "for the SER
vice of God, the festivals of state and
the execution of the evil-doer." When
the forces of the young French re-
public captured Berne in 1893 the citi-
zens painted it funeral black and
under this dfguise it escaped from the
rapacity of the Gaul.

A Good scheme.

In the grand duchy of Baden n pos
tai innovation has been introduced
which might be copied with good re-
suit elsewhere, for it is of great adj
vantage to travellers. The scheme is
this: When travelling, supposing you
were to send telegram, all you have
to do is to write your message on n
postcard, with statement that you
wish 1t wired, affix to it the requisite
number of stamps and deposit it in the
letter box attached to the train. When
the train stops the box is cleared and
the wire dispatched without delay or
further trouble to the sender.

Not he that counts my errors,
Not he that holds me back
With doubling words 10 show ne
Wherein and how ] lack;
Not he that sses my feelings;
And, seeing them, 10 free
To take my measure by them
He's not the friend FOR me.
But he that learns my virtues,
Who takes me al my best;
Who notes my greater fallings
And overl0oks the rest;
Who. after I have striven
And have not failed. Is free
With words OF commendation-
He Is the friend for me.
He that forever warns me
or dangers in my way,
Who doubts my strength to meet them
And ever bids me stay,
May truly seek 20 shield me,
May wish me well, but he
Whose faith Is Inspiration
He Is the friend for me.

GOVERNOR Pingree says he is not the
whole thing in General Ayers campaign
for the senatorship, but just a common,
ordinary supporter of his candidacy. The
many friends of the general will be pleas
ed to know that he has not given himself
over wholly to Pingree domination, but
the fact remains that the success of
Alger will be looked upon as a Pingree
victory, and the general would seem to
be heavily handicapped thereby.

The fact is remarkable that there is o
one else thought of seriously for the re-

The Legislature of this State is making
no mistake in proceeding against any per-
sons or corporations who are attempting
to form a combine to control the output
of coal and artifcially boom prices. NO
more deadly conspiracy against the wen
being Of the people could be devised. II
is an assault on every other productive
industry. because no industry can be con-
Quoted without a cheap and abundant
supply of fuel. 1t is also an invasion Oh
the homes of citizens, rich and poor, cur
failing comfort taxing health. To the
poor it is an attack, which tends to re-
luce their lives to the level of Chinese or
Japanese misery. The only purpose OF
the combination is to satisfy the greed
of q handful of capitalists. 1t is a grind
ing hardship to seventy million people to
put greater wealth in the pockets of
seventy.
No penalty is too severe for this
damnable conspiracy. The forfeiture OF
all the public franchises. which they hold,
should b. followed up hy the imprison-
ment at hard labor of every man who is
a party to the deal in any capacity. There
IL no law in this State, at present, ade-
quate to deal with the viflainy. and that
which the Acknowledgement is presently
to draft should be made SO drastic as to
put the proposed combination beyond the
range of possibility for all time.
The efectual way to reach this evil,
however, is not through State legislation.
It liz within the power of Congress to de-
feat the combination by a law. which
could be drafted in ten lines. 1t is only
necessary to abolish the tariff on coal to
defeat all efforts to artifciaily increase its
price.

sist All Appeals for an Extension.
The attendance at the industrial exhibi
of the Hudson City Business Mems Asso-
citation fell off p~erceptibly last night and
those present inspected the various ex-
hibits with some degree of comfort. The
attendance was, however, large, and at
times one found himself blocked in the
aisles.
Both President William K-astenhuber
and Andrew Know, chairman of the
executive committee of the association ,ex-
pressed themselves as highly pleased with
the success of this years exhibit. They
admitted that it's success was beyond
their fondest -antieipations-
There is no doubt that the Business
Mems Association has scored a great
triumph. 1T is only natural to suppose
that the association will not only be
strengthened in membership by other
merchants who have visited the exhi-
bition, but tina it will be better recog-
nized as a factor in bringing about i'm
pfovements in the Hudson City section.
Efforts have been brought to bear upon
the committee in charge of the exhibit to
keep the fair open till Saturday night, but
both Messrs. Kastenhuber and Knox de-
clared that it would close tonight. There
will be some extra attractions.
The police have don some admirable
work in protecting the great crowds that
have been in attendance. Though they
have had no occasion to distinguish them
selves a number Of fremen. under the
command of Captain Robert Sloane, of
No. IA Engine Company, has been nightly
stationed at various points, where they
remained on the alert. They were ready
to deiuge the first squirt of fame with
chemicals from extinguishers near at
hand in case of accident from electric
wires or gas jets.

paper on Archaeology" treating of dis
coveries during the past century which
affected or related to preceding centuries
from the beginning of the world. She
spoke particularly of the American cliff
dwellings, and mentioned several collec-
tons of various antiquities in the Museum
OF Natural History, New York. Touch
ing on Biblical history, she mentioned the
discovery in Egypt of stones from the
tomb of Nebachadnezzar, quoting from
the Bible as authority.
Mrs. George W.. Case read a paper on
Explorations in which she took the Odd
Volumes along the first wagon road made
across United States to connect East and
West and which still exists, thence jump
ing to various parts of the country from
the frigid climate of the Arctic regions in
Africa and the East, by means of notes,
an address n two maps. She mentioned
the various explorers, and said they had
three objects in their undertakings, com
merce, geography and science. Spain's
monopoly in the past OF India was also
mentioned and the subsequent discoveries
in that Eastern territory. In this flying
trip round the world, Mrs. Case did not
overlook the discovery of the Magnetic
Poles and took the Odd Volumes to the
very spot. OF the map. just above North
America. Both papers were exceedingly
interesting and instructive.

The Water Certiorari.

It the water contract is as sound in all
respects and as advantageous to the city
as its advocates claim, there should be no
dissatisfaction at the prospect of a review
under a writ of certiorari. The proceed
angs should take on rather the nature OF
stands, one application aims to test the
contract on strictly legal grounds, and
rather, it would seem. in the interest of
the contractor. The other goes into the
merits Of the award made on Mr.. P. H.
Flynn's proposal. Between the two the
entire subject is opened up, and if the
them are bound to shed daylight upon
every phase of the case.
Tt is to be hoped that whatever is done
be done quickly. The city can stand the
fullest investigation of h contract. If
it is good. we want to know it and shut
the mouths of the hired ~slanderers of the
Republican party-the ~"Tribune's' wasp,
for instance. If it is bad, we want to
know it, too, and We want the contract
knocked out. This is the attitude of the
municipality and the people. Presumably
the contractor feels about the same way.
He certainly has no use for a contract
which Is assailable by litigation. He Will
have to embark about seven million dol
lars of capital in the enterprise, and we
imagine he has no desire to imperil any
portion of it. Thus, both parties are,
presumably pleased at the prospect of a
thorough investigation; we are certain one
is-the people.
But we reiterate, we want a speedy
hearing and a quick decision. We want
either to go ahead and push these works
to completion, or else we want to begin
all over again in a hurry. For, If there
is much fooling over the matter, we will
be drinking Passaic mud again about 1901.
