A type of apparatus designed for
fishing boats or small. vessels of any
kind includes receiving box, with a
ball receiver, which is lowered into

The terror in which submarine

to be entirely dissipated by the ap-

With this new device secret sub

disadvantages of the bell buoy and

of the compass from which they
come.

One Of the prominent women of Or

other night, to which she invited a:
dining room full of guests. The func-
ton proved highly enjoyable, and not
few remarked to their hostess that
they had never seen crabs so deli.

intimate neighbors even besought Of
her to tell them the secret.
With smile which reflected the
pride she felt, the hostess was about
to whisper the recipe to naughty
looking dame at her elbow, when a
low moan from the kitchen alarmed
the whole table and brought the con-
versation to an. abrupt stop. The next
moment the waitress, who had been
acting queerly for some time, rushed
back from the kitchen with bandage
in one hand and a bottle of sweet
oil in the other. The hostess::was the

Flowing Up Grasshopper Eaas.

The eggs of grasshoppers are laid
along in. the latter part of summer. in
clusters about an inch below the sur
face of the ground. Each cluster or
mass is surrounded with a frothy ma
terial, which seems to act as a pro-
lection from excessive moisture.
Flowing the ground where eggs are
laid breaks up these masses and de-
stroys the protection; in some cases
it turns the masses down SO deep in
the soil that the young hoppers, even
though they hatch, cannot force their
way upward to the surface Almost
no grasshoppers will hatch in ground
that has been plowed. Hence it is de-
sirable to watch closely the egg-lay-
ing habits, and see if the eggs are not
laid in places where plowing can be
done. With the Rocky Mountain To-
Gust, this has several times served to
destroy whole swarm. With our
principal species there are certain pre-
ferred kinds of soil for egg:deposition.
At Market Lake they selected gener-
ally the edges of slight depressions in
the plains. These depressions or hol-
lows were low, enough so that they
produced kind of salt-grass, and not
a sage-brush. The absence of sage
made. them more conspicuous than the
difference Of level. About the edges
Of these places the newly hatched
young were very numerous. Plow-
ing could have been applied here with
good results. The land in Big Camas
Prairie. lies differently, and does not
offer many Of these spots. Here the
hoppers showed a marked preference
for sandy or gravelly places along the
edges Of creeks. 1 did not have an
opportunity to Judge whether plowing
could be done in these places. Ground
under cultivation is rarely or never
used for egg-laying by grasshoppers.:
All the species seem to prefer hard
er texture Of earth and some will even
choose the wheeltracks of roads. II.
