that the seventeen-year locust is due
this year. Once each seventeen years
with as much regularity as the sea
serpent or the failure of the Delaware
peach crop what is known to science
as the periodical cicada or seventeen
year locust appears.
1t descended upon many parts of
the United States in 1868, devastating
the fields, devouring the crops and
leaving the sections visited quite bare
of vegetation, many thousands of per-
sons suffering for want of food and
much live stock being lost for want of
sustenance. After that not again un-
til 1885 did the locusts make their APP
pearance with the same disastrous
results.
The appearance of the cicada has
been regularly recorded since 1715
every seventeenth year and it is due
again this summer about June l. The
locusts do great damage to forest
trees, especially oaks and hickories, to
fruit trees, to berry and other bushes
and to wheat and corn,
1t is predicted for the summer of
1902 that myriads Of these insects
will swarm over Southern New York,
New Jersey and Pennsylvania, part
of Ohio and the whole of Indiana and
make trouble for all the owners of
young trees. The locusts make their
first attack on young trees. The ten
der shoots are split and the cavities
filled with eggs. The insects that are
expected have been developing from
these eggs for seventeen years. 1t is
reassuring to know that the cicada of
this year will have wings and will be
we'll equipped for the work of destruc-
ton.

LIGHTNING PLAYS FRANKS
Visits a Hazel Green Home and Leaves
Peculiar Marks.

From this on one could tell Ben ia
min Straw and family of Hazel Green
almost any wierd and improbable
story about freaks of lightning and
they would believe all that was said.
Their knowledge of the wonderful
performances of the bolts of Jove was
gained during a recent savage cleo
trical storm.
Shortly after midnight during the
height of the storm powerful current
of electricity from the clouds descend
ed and it's first onslaught was on one
of the chimneys of Mr.. Straw's pretty
and commodious home From there
it entered the sleeping apartment of
Mr.. Straw's daughter, tearing off the
plastering from the ceiling and doing
other damage and after having made
complete circuit of the room it tore
it's way through the partition into a
bedroom occupied by Mr.. Straw and
wife. Here again it went through a
number of astonishing, performances,
even to the wrecking of the front of
a bureau and setting it on fire. 1t
then flew through hole in a parti-
ton wall made for stove pipe, throw
ing tin stop across the room and i'm
bedding it firmly in the opposite wall.
Here, too, the plastering was wrecked
in an extraordinary manner while a
lounge escaped with only splintered
leg. This performance was repeated
until five rooms above and below
strairs had been visited and the furni-
ture and plastering more or less de-
molished.
Not satisfied with the amount of
damage done in the house it next at
tackled the cistern pump which was
of the chain variety, melting the
links of the chain and tearing things
to pieces generally. Wherever there
was any metal in the house there the
force of the bolt was made evident,
even every picture that was connect
ed to the wall with wire was thrown
to the floor. And yet, strange to re-
late, while all this destruction and
awful confusion was being wrought
Mr. and Mrs. Straw and daughter es-
capped without injury and were not
even rendered unconscious for more
than moment or two by the shock
for they were able to arise and extin-
tinguish the blaze that had been
started in the bureau before it had
gained much Roadway. Mr.. Straw at
tributes the escape of himself and
family to the fact that they were re-
posing on feather beds, feathers being
IN conductors of electricity. This
is the third time this place has been
struck by lightning within few years
in Heating the presence of a body Of
ore beneath it.

just how long pensions may con-

Rev. J. I. Morgans. The music was
also of a verp high order. Mrs. Saml
Joeckel sang a solo and it's rendition
was all that the most critical could
demand. The choir gave two beauti-
ful anthems in harmony with the &C.
casion and one especially elected
much praise. ''Cover them over with
Roses of May" was the title and it's
tenderness so beautifully expressed
by the vocalists made it intensely pa
