The fungus from the dead locusts produced
a funsus more rapid in growth but smaller
in size than that which had been produced
at the government station. In some other
experiments the fungus was mixed with
water in which the young locus,s were
dipped and then released. After three,
days rain fell, and on the afternoon of the
fourth day, heaps of the insects were
found in the bushes about three miles from

success of this method of determination is
shown by a comparison of localities so
treated with places where the fungus has
not been uied, there being a marked de
crease in the numbers of the pest in the
former case.

has tried it has failed. So to the sound

ODD FACTS ABOUT ANIMALS.

1t is estimated that one crow will de-
stroy zoe, 900 insects every year.
The pearl oyster begins to produce
pearls when it is six or seven years old.
While the turkeys natural life is only
ten years, the goose sometimes lives to
80 years.
The guinea pig grows more quickly
than any other quadruped. 1t is fully
grown when six weeks old and begins
to bear young at two months.
Humming birds in Minora, one of the
Philippines, are very pugnacious. Hun
dreds of them simultaneously attack a
huntsman and seriously injure him.
When Bohemian geese are to travel
long distances TO market, they are first
compelled to repeatedly walk over
patches of tar mixed with sand. This
combination forms a thick crust on
their feet, and serves to protect them.

GASOLINE DID 1T.
Stove Exploded in
Mullins Tailor
Shop.
FANG SINGS $1,000 STORY.
Fire Alarms Keep the De-
partment on the
Run.
FANG SINGS $1,000 STORY.

By the explosion of a gasoline stove
in tailor shop owned by Thomas Null
lin, at 1913 Pleasant street, yesterday
afternoon, a two story frame building
owned by Louis Hopkins was badly
damaged. The flames quickly COM
municated with the wall and in few
moments the entire shop was a mass
of flame. Mr.. Mullin in an attempt to
put out the fire had his moustache, eye
brows and hair badly scorched, and al
so suffered several bad burns on the
arms.
A laundry owned by Fang Sing in
the same building was also Quilted,
and Fang, who is not very well ac-
quainted with the English language,
told some of the firemen that he had
$1,000 hidden in his place. A thorough
search was made but the bills did not
come to light and Fang with a derby
two sizes too large for him resting on
his pate, mournfully shook his head
when the f1remen gave up the search
and still talked about the money.
T. F. Bryce's cobbling shop was also
Quilted by the fire, and the stock of a
grocery store kept by w. ]. Hopkins
was badly damaged by water The
stock in Mr.. Hopkins store is insured
through Tatman & Park for $1,000 and
the building through the Worcester
Mutual for $4,000. The remainder of the
tenants carry no insurance. The loss
is about $1,000.
The recall had hardly been struck
when an alarm from box %, at the cor
ner of Foster and Union streets called
the department to the old brick tene-
ment building at the corner of Mechanic
and Union streets. owned by John
Driscoll, and for a few moments it
looked as though there would be big
business for the department. A defec-
tive chimney fiue was the cause of the
trouble and about 5000 damage was
done before 1t was finally put out.
An alarm from box four, 25 minutes
later, was turned in on account of a
blaze in a waste paper shute in the
Park theatre building, in the store for
mally occupied by ]. K. Brown. The
blaze was extinguished with a slight
loss

HUGH HICKS DEAD.
The Veteran Gypsy Was a Victim of
Heart Disease.

Heart Disease.
Hugh Hicks the veteran horse deal
er. known throughout every town and
hamlet in New England, died yesterday
afternoon, after a short illness from
heart disease
Mr.. Hicks was born in England of
Romany gypsy parentage, inheriting
the desire of wandering through the
country and the love of horse, so nat
ural to his people. He came to Amer
lea when a young man, and started
se-trading on a small scale. His
appreciation of this particular line,
combined with intuitive business abil-
ity, resulted in the building up of a
large business in the horse trade.
Mr.. Hicks was 76 years old, and has
passed most of his life since immigrant
ing to this country, in Worcester. He
established a comfortable home and sale
stable at S97 Park avenue, where his
family reside at present.
Until advancing years made such a
course unwise, Hugh Hicks true to
his gypsy nature, would start out in
the spring with his caravan wagons
and string of horses for a tour of the
surrounding country. He was accom-
panied by his family on these trips,
which are kept up by the younger gen.
Grafton to the present day.
About six years ago one of the Hicks
caravans figured in a grade crossing
accident at Northbridge, where a
wagon was run into by an express
train, and Mrs. Hicks killed outright.
Mr.. Hicks was taken i'll about a week
ago with heart disease, and since that
time he has failed steadily. He leaves
eight children, five boys and three girls.
