LOCUSTS RAvAGE THE WHEAT.
Many Fields Swarm with 17-Year De-
stroyers of Vegetation.

The 17-year locust has appeared in
great deal of damage to the wheat
fields, orchards and forest trees. Ac.
cording to their peculiar habit they come
in the night to the surface of the ground
from their subterranean caverns, where
they have been maturing and slumbering
for the last seventeen years. The ground
beneath the trees is perforated like an
immense colander with the holes from
which they emerged.
Soon after emerging from the ground
the locusts shed their underground over
coats, leaving the trunks of the trees
studded with the dry and brittle garment
OF yellowish hue. Scientists say the eggs
from which this brood was Matched were
laid on the leaves of the trees seventeen
years ago. The eggs remained where
they were deposited for three years, when
the cicadas We're Matched and the new
born insect burrowed downward into the
ground. Here, beside the roots of trees,
the insects dwelt until this year, when
they sailed forth in numberless quanti-
ties, driving the farmer almost to ruin
In their ravages.
The locusts after flying about for a
few days, feeding on the vegetation, at
tach themselves to the under side of the
leaves on the trees. Here the female
deposits her eggs.
The cicadas have three deadly ene-
mics in this country-the .despised Eng
lish sparrow, digger wasp and the ants.
AT present the innumerable locusts are
filling the air with their sonorous, monot-
onous and doleful song The farmers
are spraying their orchards with prepar-
ed mixture of kerosene. Out on the prai-
RE farms the insects threaten destruc-
ton to the growing crop.
The sparrows have come in countless
thousands to the aid of the farmer. Rob-
ms and wild birds find the locust palat-
able eating. The sparrows' method of
attracting the locust is 10 wait on the
ground for the locust to appear above
the ground, when he greedily gobbes him
up before he gets time. to sing his dying
song.

WRECKED BY DESIGN,
FAST TRAIN DISASTER WORK OF
A MlSCREANT.
Ohcials Declare n Maniac or Plot Is
to Blame for Catastrophe at Mentor
Twenty Hour Schedule Will Be
Resumed.

AS result of the wrecking of the
twentieth century limited train at
Mentor, Ohio, in which nineteen per-
sons lost their lives, the railroad COM
pany will abandon its eighteen -hoar
schedule between New York and Chi
cago. The old schedule of twenty
hours for the run will be resumed.
Another development is the charge
that the wreck was caused through a
plot or by some man who had a grudge
against the railway or some one aboard
the flyer and deliberately threw the
switch at Mentor.
Declarations that the wreck Of the
twentieth century limited train at
Mentor, Ohio, was the result of q de-
Hberate plot were made by officials of
the railway. The switch was found
open by Conductor Alexander Camp
bell of the flyer Immediately after the
wreck, and investigation showed that
it had been locked open. What the
motives were that induced the persons
charged with wrecking the train to
throw open the switch are not limited
at by the railroad officials.
AS the Lake Shore officials investi-
gate the cause of the wreck and get
the situation in hand the conclusion is
fixed more and more firmly that the
sacrifice Of lives was the work Of a
man who deliberately and maliciously
threw the fatal switch FOR the purpose
of wrecking the fast train. The rail-
road company has set in motion all
the machinery of it's powerful police
organization to ferret out the man who
is believed to have committed the MUIR
deous act
While the abandonment, at least for
the present, Of the eighteen-hour sched-
ule is announced, observing people
realize that what happened to the ely
err might have happened to one of the
so-called slow trains, and the result
in the latter case, perhaps, would have
been more disastrous than in the for
mer because of the lighter equipment
of the slow train. 1t is to be borne in
mind that the flyer was wrecked not
because it was going at high speed
but because a switch had been left
open.
So far as speed is concerned, the
results Of wreck are not much affect
ed by difference of a few miles per
hour. The dangers of railroad travel
are little affected by the scheduled
speed of trains. There is a certain ele-
ment of peril that cannot be eliminated
entirely, but that peril applies to the
slowest as we'll as to the fastest trains.

WILL HAVE A SUMMER CAPITAL
Philippines to Be Given a Counterpart
of India's Official Resort.


The United States is to lay out sum-
mer capital in the mountains, about 80
miles from Manila similar to Simla, the
summer capital of India, to which the
latter government is removed en- masse
ON April l of every year, and remains
until Nov. /. Thus the government of
India has a duplicate set of public Off
ces, one in Calcutta and one in Simla.
The books and records are moved back
and forth every year, and the officials
and their clerks and messengers make an
annual migration. Most of them are
thus required to keep up establishments
in both cities.
This has been found to be absolutely
necessary to the health of the corps of
officials and their families. 1t is impos-
sible for white men to survive the sum-
mer climate of Calcutta, while in the
winter Simla is buried under snow. The
climate of Manila during the rainy sea-
son is similar to that of Calcutta, and
is exceedingly trying. Few people can
live there for two years in succession
without suffering for it the rest of their
lives, and the strongest of constitutions
will break down ultimately. At present
the only recourse is to run up to Japan
to escape the heat and the humidity of
the summer, but that is too expensive a
trip for men of ordinary incomes, and
the government cannot afford to give
its employees the long leaves of absence
that are necessary to make the journey.
Within FIVE hours by railroad of Manila,
however, is climate as healthful and an
atmosphere as pure as that of Colorado
Springs, or the Adirondacks 1t is about
5000 feet above the sea, surrounded BY
forests aud beautifully supplied with
pure spring water.
1t has been decided to build a summer
capital there, and remove the entire gov
eminent from Manila to Benguat dur
ing the summer months. In order to do
this it will be necessary to construct
number of buildings for Official purposes
and to build hotels, boarding houses. cot
tages and other quarters for the officials
and their families. Several of the off,
Gals have already erected houses there.

established a sanitarium to which it

siowness. The number of dead and

0lffer very widely. an account taken to

req working people and sixty soldiers as
the number killed Friday, while a dis
patch direct from LODI says that twenty
persons were killed outright, forty died
from their wounds, and les wounded per-

patch admits that there were other casual
ties OF which the society for the care of in

that correct estimate is probably some

JAPAN REFUSES ARMiSTicE.

Informs Roosevelt that PIenipoten-
tiaries Must Meet First.
Japan has Informed the United States
that she will not agree to an armistice
with Russia until the peace plenipoten-
tiaries have met and found each others
credentials entirely satisfactory. She
would be willing to do SO if a guarantee
of some kind could be given her that
Russia will negotiate peace in good
faith. The Presidents efforts to stop
the fighting in Manchuria have thus met
with a temporary check.
So far as can be ascertained Russia
has not asked for an armistice, and will
not do so. She is in the same receptive
mood she was when the President
preached the idea of peace. 1t is Japan
this time which is not welcoming the
suggestion of an armistice Marshal
Oyama has a force greatly superior to
that of Gen.. Linevitch. A tremendous
victory will insure better terms for his
country. Moreover, if hostilities should
be stopped the Russians might continue
to strengthen Gen. Linevitch. At pres
ent he has only sufficient re-enforcements
to make up for the wastage due to death
in battle or from disease.
Japan's position has the sympathy of
officers of the army and navy in Wash
ington. Its justice is also conceded by
the administration. There is no way by
which she can be brought to adopt a
different attitude. Germany and France
have made polite representations at To-
kio in behalf of peace. Neither has gone,
or dares to go. as far as the United
States. Great Britain has asserted posi-
lively that she will not bring pressure
to bear upon her ally
