INSECTS LuRED BY LIGHT.
Numerous Species Of Bug- Afford
Good FscEts for Noctur ai
Animals.

Interesting results have followed The
introduction of the eleetric light In the
streets Of Port OF Spain, Trinidad. The
largely populated insect world Of thai
region had never before seen such brill
liant illumination as the arc lights Of
fcred, and they have shown great curl
osity, says the New York Sun.
Every morning the ground under the
lamps Is found to be strewn with thou
sands Of dead insects OF many varieties.
Il Is impossible to walk without treading
on them.
II the supply OF insects were not mex
haustible, some of the varieties would
certainly be doomed TO extinction In
fact. one kind is evidently less numerous
now than before the electric lights were
Installed.
This is a kind OF giant waterhug, Of
which such incredible numbers were de-
stroyed that the bug has come 10 be gem
orally known as the electric beetle. The
lamps are no longer visited by the
crowds OF these bugs that at first came
10 inquire into the meaning OF the
strange brillianee. Either the species
has been greatly depleted through the
destruction OF many thousands OF It's
members, or else some kind OF Instinct
has told them that arc lamps are danger
nus things 10 meddle with.
The owls in their wisdom have learned
10 profit by the fascination which the
arc lamp has for insects AS the illum-
ination is turned on at nightfall the owls
may be seen vending their way to the
aeighborhood Of the lamps. for they have
discovered that their prey is more
abundant there than anywhere else.
The feast is spread before them and all
they have to do is to dash out from the
.rees and capture a moth or a beetle
that is winging It's way to the dazzling
goal Then the owls return to their
perches and wait for the next conner.
The bats also have learned to make
use OF the lights In this unsportsman-
Yke manner. for catching moths and
other insects
Not few explorers In tropical regions
have complained that Il is impossible
TO have light in camp during the night
without incurring unpleasant visltations
from myriads OF insects One OF them
recently wrote that he was often forced
to dine in the dark, as an attempt 10 use
4 light attracted swarms OF flies which
got into his eyes and dropped into his

During the nights the maddened
prisoners keep up their yelling, rat

the rawlings Of Marsh Reynolds, an in
sane man brought down from Bartles-
vile. Marsh seems never TO tire Of
preaching, singing and speech making,
and, with his sometimes wild whoopS
and crazy shouts and laughing pre-
vents the other prisoners from Sleep

Marshal Darrough for relief but he
can do nothing but await an answer
TO his application for removal sent TO
Muskogee several days ago.
It was thought when an application
was made to care for the insane of the
territory by sending them to the in
stitution at Norman, Okla, that the
troublesome question OF caring for
those unfortunates was ended until
the new state is organized II has

government officers at Muskogee be-

When the Kansan entered entered a
Wabash avenue music house, life was all

up TO the head salesman and grasped him
by the hand and spoke to him as II he
had known him since boyhood. He let 1t
be known at once that he was in the
market for piano; the best one that
money could buy. But before he would
or could begin the purchase he was cer-

FoR AN AUTOMOBILE SERVICE.


There is no city in all of these Unit
ed States more in need of a system
OF municipal and urbane Transports
ton than is Brunswick We do not
care whether it is an electric line a
buss line or what not, one thing is Ger
tain we need something and need it
badly. AL is at present, the travel
ingsnuhlc is at the mercy OF crowd
of burly ssnd, sShTbitant negro hack
drivers, who fix their charges accord
ing to their own pleasure and render
such service as they feel disposed.
We have given this subject consider
able thought and we are convinced
that a well regulated automobile ser.
vice in Brunswick would yield good
dividends to the concern that has the
energy TO launch such an enterprise
A five cents fare could be arranged
and a belt service around the city at
stated periods, would meet all the de,
mands Of car line and we are sure
1t would very successfully solve
the problem OF cheap transportation
in the city. @
Under the present conditions the
man, who does not own his own team
is compelled to nay the sum Of twenty
five cents for travel 1t matters not how
short the distance may be.
The system we refer to is in vogue
in number Of southern cities and is
very successful. why cannot Il bs done
here In Brunswick
