Remedy for the Locust Plague.

The German-African Gazette is re-
sponsible for the statement that Mr..
Cooper OF Richmond. Natal, has dis
covered a new method of destroying
swarms of locusts. The plan consists
in catching and smearing a few of the
locusts with locust fungus" prepa-
ration which is cultivated in the bac-
THEOLOGICAL institute at Grahamstown,
Cape Colony. Ths insects are then
allowed to return to the swarm, which
they infect with what is presumably a
fatal disease. The same preparation
applied on damp soil in places where
1t is known locusts will swarm leads
to their complete destruction. Twenty
swarms are said to have been destroyed
in this manner. Although this state
ment is open to doubt, it may be re-
membered that celebrated bacteri-
ologist once proposed to deal with the
rabbit pest in Australia in much the
same way.-Chamber's Journal.

Last Christmas. in .SC6th End Eoad,
Iu!ham. there was on view an nror-
nous cake that lowered almost to the
ceiling of the confeccioner's shop. II
was made to represent fortress. and
weighed more than 1000 pounds In
its composition had been used 600
pounds of -four. 400 pounds OF butter.
400 pounds OF sugar. 500 pounds of
icing sugar, 500 pounds of currants. $50
pounds of sultanas. 300 pounds of can
died peel, 200 pounds of almonds, and
5000 eggs. Gigantic however. as was
this cake. 1t cannot be compared with
that with which in June. 1880. Frederick
William /. regaled his army. After a
huge repast of beef, wine and beer had
been partaken OF, the guests, to TIE
number of 10000. saw approaching an
immense car drawn by eight horses.
on which reposed a monster cake
eighteen yards long, eight yards broad
and one-half yard thick. 1t contained,
among other ingredients, SO bushels of
flour, 200 gallons OF milk. l ton OF but

soldiers, who had already eaten a
hearty meal, We're able to deyour only
a portion OF this extraordinary cake,
so to their aid were summoned the peo-

neighborhood. among whom 1t was
distributed till not morsel remained.
Last August the town OF Paignton re-

poor. After being drawn in process

Lester A. Rose of Wausau secretary
of the Wisconsin Valley Advancement
association present at the meeting of
the editorial associate held here this
week, in an interview said: "A prom
inent immigration movement is to be
discussed at the meeting of the associ-
alton to be held in Tomahawk on Feb
ruary Is. Propositions to be listened
to are tenders of bOatloads of immig-
rants to come to this country for the
purpose of forming colonies for settle
ment on lands. They are people who
will come prepared 20 buy and develop
and who will not depend on the ground
for their first years living. They are
of the thrifty nationality and will be-
come creditable citizens and residents
who will build up the hamlets and towns
rapidly. The proposition has received
favorable consideration by the immigra-
tion commissioners aud no doubt the
early summer will witness a large in-
hux of settlers into the Wisconsin
River valley.
''In regard to the electric railway
proposition have had correspondence
with prominent promoters who are
ready to finance the road, but thus far
am inclined to believe that they have
opinionup the valley is that President
Bradley has his lines laid near home
and that he will not call in foreign cap
ital to aid in the enterprise. There
are strong suspicious that the men who
control the water powers together with
Mr.. Bradley and possibly a, prominent
railway man now in Europe aided by
northern Wisconsin railway interests
that cross the state, will build the road
Certainit is that an event of two months
ago which was looked upon as one in
the distant future, is now regarded as a
| foregone conclusion for the near future
There is no longer any doubt about
the road being built.
! ':rhrough the kindness Of the press
of Milwaukee and other metropolitan
cities the project has been SO thorough
| lv aired that capital has been attracted
| from abroad that will construct the road
! if necessary, but as the building of the
entire line-140 miles can be consum-
mated for less than So. 600. 900, those who
are acquainted with the men who have
the project in hand will at once admit
that it will not worry the men OF the
Wisconsin valley to build it without one
dollar offoreign capital. "
