LONG BRANCH SWEPT.
Big Iron Pier GOne-HOteI and other
Buildings Wrecked.

LONG BRANCH, n. j., Nov. %
The full rigged ship Flottbek, which
went ashore at Monmouth Beach dur
ing the gale, Is now resting on the
sands apparently little the worse for
her experience and her crew are being
cared for by the life savers of Station
No. 4. The tugboat Robert Haddon is
a wreck, but her crew was saved.
One man, unknown, probably resi-
dent of Long Branch, was swept away
when the iron pier was wrecked. Much
property damage resulted from the
storm all along that portion of the ,Jer-
sey coast. Just before daylight
heavy crash was heard, and when
daylight came it was found that the
big iron pier had gone and that only
a few waving spiles remained to show
where it had been.
The United States hotel at Long
Branch was wrecked early in the
night.
Along Ocean avenue several store
fronts were blown in, and the rain beat
in during the night before the openings
could be boarded up. Many of the ave
nues are impossible, owing to fallen
trees and fences being blown across
them. The telephone service is almost
at a standstill, owing to broken and
crossed wires.

WILD NORTHEASTERN
Wide Stretch Of Coast Swept
by November Gale.
SHIPS AND SUMNER RESORTS SUFFER
Heavy Damage Done by High Seas
Along New No~a. New Jersey
and Connecticut
shores.

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-The heavy
northeast gale which ragged along the
coast for twenty hours did a vast
amount of damage in and about this
city. In the upper and lower bays the
storm blew with great fury. An unusu-
ally high tide washed up on the Staten
Island shores, doing considerable dam
age to docks, small boats and other
craft. The Staten Island Rapid Tran
sit railroad track between Tompkins-
vile and Stapleton was obstructed by
wreckage from pile drivers and a small
schooner which was driven ashore and
the wreckage piled up on the railroad
track. At Clifton, Staten Island, the
Richmond Ice companys dock was un-
dermined, and 600 tons of coal were
lost and part of the Rapid Transit COM
pany's tracks swept away. At South
Beach booths We're swept into the low
er bay, and Il vessel moored at Staple
ton drifted on to the beach. She was
finally saved
Driven by the terrific northeast gale,
the highest tide ever known along the
north shore of Long Island swept in
land, leaving a ribbon of wreckage that
grts the shore from Astoria, in Long
Island City, out to Greenport, ,on the
extreme end of the island.
Washouts occurred on two branches
of the railroad and trolley roads. Traf-
fic was suspended on two branches of
the Long Island railroad, while for
more than half a day the cars of the
New York and Queens County Electric
railway We're unable to get beyond
Steinway owing to the tracks across
the meadows being submerged by the
tide
Probably the greatest damage was
done at North Beach, on Flushing and
Bowery bays, where more than $4,000
worth of docks, paved walks, pavilions,
places of amusement and other prop
erty was destroyed.
The entire fleet of the Williamsburg
Yacht club was floated off by the tide
and wrecked In Flushing bay docks
were damaged. boats battered to pieces
and the Flushing meadows entirely
submerged.
The Tribune estimates the damage
done by the storm on the northern
shore Of Long Island sound from and
including City Island to the Connect
cut line at $350,000.
Broadway suffered more from the
force Of the gale than any other thor
oughfare in this city. The wind tore
down signs and smashed plate glass
from the Battery to Harlem. One ad-
vertislng firm estimates its loss at
$4,000.

cept to fight caterpilars. 1t would
rather fight than eat, and whenever it
fights it eats, so that it takes an en-
thusiastic interest in the campaign.
It's appetite would be disgraceful in
bug of less exemplary pursuits.
There is specimen in the Philadel-
phia North American office, says that
paper, which has devoured more than
ten times it's weight in caterpillars in
one day.
But the most remarkable thing
about this ferocious insect is its meth
cd of attack. 1t does not use sharp
claws, like some beetles, nor poison,
like spiders. 1t has little way of its
own.
Fastened by flexible joint to the
lower part of the body is lance and
with this deadly weapon the bug does
rapid execution. 1t attacks a cater
pillar like torpedo boat attacking an
unprotected cruiser. 1t creeps on it's
prey quietly, then makes sudden
rush. Raising itself when near the
victim, it let's the lance drop forward.
then leaps upon the poor, fuzzy thing
and drives the sharp point home.
There follows a violent struggle, of
course. The caterpillar squirms and
twists and rolls itself about, but the
lance holds and there is no escape.
The bug does not let go until it has
satisfied itself. Gradually the form of
the caterpillar shrinks and when it's
little enemy withdraws the lance and
backs away there is only the skin of
the worm left.
The bug is about three-eighths of an
inch long and oval in shape. 1t has
six legs and two delicate feelers. The
back is curiously marked the front
part being light brown, the back part
dull yellow. There are markings in
black, in which may be traced Carl
cature of a Japanese face. Under
meath the insect is colored light yellow
and light green.

NEW ARMoRED BEETLE.
ana Carries u Cruel. Dcnth-Dcal-
ina Lance.

Nature has once more proved that
she knows how to manage affairs in
her numerous departments. While
the suburbs are still bewailing a
plague of caterpillars she has begun
the work of determination. She has
sent a bug to do the work. and it is
wonderful bug indeed-a bug errant,
one might say, for it has a lance and a
suit of armor and just as much devc-
ton to duty as any knight one ever
read about.
This remarkable bug does not seem
to have any mission upon earth ex-
