WANTS REWARD FOR MURDER

Pekin, Tuesday, August 21.-Prince

lished here each nationality admins
tiers a section of the city according to
its own ideas.
There is a possibility of the Pekin
dispatch being somewhat In error as
to the identity of the Chinese official
who is asking for a reward for muir
dering hfty-two foreigners. A dispatch
to the Associated Press from Che Foo
dated August 10Th, said Yu, the gov
ernor of the province of Shan 81, was
reported to have invited the foreigners
in that province to come under his
protection. 1t was added that about
August 21st fifty foreigners accepted
the invitation and all were massacred.
Probably Yu, the governor of Shan
ST. is identical with the Yu Ssian who
is referred to in the Pei dispatch as

THELooUsTs OF THE TREE CoUN.

(From Forest and Stream.)
During the hot, still days OF August.
and even during early September. may
be heard from the treetops the shril cry
of the Locust" name applied by the
small boys or the tree country to the
oioadas, large hemipterous insects found
from New Hampshire southwark and
westward through the tree-eovered coun.
try as far as Kansas, In the prairie re-
gion. oftsntimes ravaged by the grasshop'
per plague, the name locust is properly
applied, and is given TO the so-called
Rocky Mountain locust, which is in fact
a grasshopper.
The locust or the tree country is very
different creature. He Is we'll known to
the small boy, who. when he hnds one
on the ground. looks carefully at the
markings on the uppsr surface or the
thorax In order TO learn whether during
the. next year peace or war Will prevail
over the earth. If on the thorax are
markings which look like the letter W,
the boy knows that the next year will be
one Of wars, and gravely announces this
fact to his young companions, who, with
him, speculate as to what countries Will
be involved. The small boy manufac-
lures from straight piece OF WOOD, some
twisted horsehair, the thick glass about
the mouth Of bottle and bit OF parch-
ment a musical instrument which he
calls q "locust, and by means of which q
sound very much like that produced by
this insect is made.
Since locusts live chiefly In the tree
tops and are rarely seen except when dead
Or dying, they are much less well known
than many other insects. and indeed most
people have very little notion or what
the creature is that makes the loud,
long drawn out aud droning sound
that comes from this insect in the late
summer. The sound ia caused by pecu-
liar apparatus possessed only by the male
locust, and situated beneath the wings in
large cavities at the base of the abdomen.
These are two large parcEment-like
sacks, ribed and gathered into many
plaits and folds, and when the air is
driven with great force against these
plated surfaces the vibrations caused
produce the loud, penetrating, shrilt
sound with which we are all SO familiar.

Citizens Sanitary Committee on Side
of the Inspectors.

At the Board of Health meeting on
Tuesday last, DR.. Wood stated that he
was forced to kick open the doors OF
three rooms in the building at the cor
neT OF King ST. eet and Waikiki road;
that in his opinion the inspectors of
the district had not done all that was
necessary IN inspecting the place; that
the inspectors ought to have made it
point to look in all rooms in such
places on each round OF inspection.
Mr.. George Manson, the inspector of
said district. and o. st. John Gilbert,
the sub-inspector, feel that they have
been done an injustice by DR.. Wood.
Mr.. Gilbert states positively that ne
never missed going into the room oc-
cupied by All Chong, the man who was
taAen from this building with the
plague, at each inspection, as well as
into every other room on the prem
ises. He states that the reason DR..
Wood was compelled to kick down the
doors at a late hour on Tuesday after
noon. was because the inhabitants had
| all been taken away TO quarantine and
| everything had been locked up by them
preparatory to leaving.
The committee states that Mr.. Man
son and Mr.. Gilbert have been among
the most faithful inspectors and sub
| inspectors connected with the com
mittee.
