two sections Of the country.

when the council of place having a

monument to Prof Henry, about fifty
yards west of the north door of the Smith
sonian building, the ground is perforated
with small. round apertures from one
fourth to one-half an inch in diameter.
These indicate the number of locusts which
have already emerged and have found lodg-
ings on the branches of the huge tree
near by. There are signs of them here and
there in the form of the characteristic
brown shells which the new locust leaves
behind him. but the presence of the locust
can hardly be detected.
Many in Plain Sight.
On the other tree, however. the pest is
plainly in evidence. This is about $50
yards northeast of the main entrance to
the National Museum, at point close to
the edge of the asphalt walk and very near
the intersection of the main drive with a
gravel roadway which runs from the 9th
street entrance to the mall to the Medical
Museum Here the grass and gravel are
broken everywhere by the little round
exit holes of the insects, and the leaves
of the largest tree in that locality are
spotted closely with brown shells. If there
is anywhere any doubt of the existence of
this pest single glance at this tree will
dispel it.
Scientists at work in the institutions near
est these trees, the Smithsonian, the Ma
tional Museum and the Agricultural De-
partment, explain the early arrival of these
locusts as due to particular local condi-
tons, such as the added moisture drained
into the ground from the asphalt walks
near by and the heat reflected from both
walks and buildings. heavy shower and
several bright. warm days are expected to
do much for the other portions of the
park, and reports have already reached
the city that various localities in the ad-
joining counties of Maryland have dis
covered locusts fully as far developed.
In order to keep account of the pest the
Agricultural Department has sent out over
5000 addressed postal cards asking the ad-
dresses to return them on the first appear
ance of seventeen-year locusts Thus far
only Altoona and Nashville have answered.
which would indicate that local conditions
similar to those in the Smithsonian grounds
and in the fields about Washington exist
also in central Pennsylvania and Tennessee
The department has full records of their
appearances in 1885, and consequently
knows exactly where to look for them this
year, and it's postal cards are expected to
return soon at the rate of several hundreds
a day indicating the existence of millions
