pecans is probable industry, the

Marshall Field, Millionaire Merchant,
Dead.

Marshall Field, co. one Of the most sue
cessful merchants of his generation and
one of the worlds richest men, died at
the Holland House, New York, Tuesday
after an illness of less than week with
pneumonia. He was born in Conway, Mass,
the son of a farmer, and at the age OF IL
went to Pittsheld, where he worked four
years in a store. He went to Chicago
in 1856 and after working four years there
as clerk in a dry goods store was given an
interest in the business. The late Lew
H. Letter was also connected with the
firm and in 1865 the two young men with
drew and with Potter Palmer organized
the firm of Field, Palmer & Letter. When
Mr.. Letter retired in 1881 the firm be-
came known as Marshall Field & Co. The
concern is one of the largest in the mer-
camille world, employing several thousand
hands. Mr. Field was a great believer in
the future of Chicago and invested heavily
in real estate there. His wealth at the
time of his death was estimated at $780,
OOO 900 to 5000, 100000 At the close OF the
Worlds Fair in 1898 Mr.. Field endowed
with 81, 000, 900 the museum known as the
Field Columbian museum, for which
home valued at IS, 900. 900 is shortly to be
erected in the heart Of the city. He later
gave the University of Chicago land valued
at $3.50, 900, to be used for athletic pur-
poses.

Bows Mysterious Death.

The internal organs of Henry Braley
G. of South STAFFORD were sent Satur-
day to the state laboratory at Burlington
TO be examined for poison. This action
followed an autopsy performed by DR..
r. L. Rowland, the towns health officer,
assisted by DIR. Allen, in the presence of
Selectman ]. L. Barrett of STAFFORD and
Postmaster c. A. Adams of Post Mills.
Thursday evening the boy awoke his
mother complaining of having pains and
later had severe commissions. Thinking
he was troubled with worms, few drops
of turpentine were given him. A doctor
from Post Mills was summoned who found
the child much better on Friday. During
the supper hour Mrs Braley took a little
food to the lad, and when she went to
see him at the end of the meal found
him dead. NJ. Clough, who has been
boarding with Mrs. Braley two years,
assisted the mother in calling for aid.
Dr. Allen, the attending physician, de-
cided that the case demanded an autopsy.
The child's mother, Mrs. Charles Braley,
is a widow who lives at a small settlement
between STAFFORD and Post Mills. Her
husband, Charles Braley, received slight
cut while working in the woods and in
side of a week died.

Remarkable Insect MusIolans.

Songs OF birds and the trills Of the toad
and tree-frog fraternity are about the
only musical sounds in nature that are
throat utterances or true songs. The
great host of insect musicians are per-
formers upon instruments. Though they
play upon fiddles and castanets that are
part of themselves. the sounds they
produce are commonly of two kinds-those
that use their wings as instruments and
those that do not. OF the latter are the
cicadas. or harvest flies, incorrectly called
locusts. These perform upon abdominal
plates like castanets. The true wing per-
formers are the crickets and long horned
grasshoppers, or true locusts, of which the
katydid is a characteristic representative.
These fellows-for II is always the males,
the sports and lovers of the insect world
perform serenades by the hour on what
might be called living fiddles. Most in
sects are devoid of hearing. The locusts
and crickets possess acute hearing. Their
courtship is carried on entirely through
the medium of their serenades. The
males remain in one spot playing upon
their instruments. The females, undoubt-
edly attracted by these songs, seek the
players with untiring energy.
Most remarkable is the character Of the
sounds produced in relation to the instru-
ments played upon. These instruments
seem much too himsy to produce metallic
and far-reachng sounds. The sound pro-
ducing portion OF the wings is unlike the
musical instruments of man. But the
frightened. parchment-like sounding board
and the manner in which the wings are
scrapped together correspond somewhat
to a stringed instrument With the
crickets proper the wings are raised
almost or quite vertically while stridulat-
ing. With the locust the sound-produc-
ing organs are elevated. so as to permit
a scraping motion.
Always the musical organs are attached
TO the fore wings. The hind wings are
used only for flying. The fore wings OF
the cricket are for the most part taken
up by the sound producing, tightly
stretched portion. This part is strongly
but openly veined. and the toothed vein
or bow extends entirely across this hori-
zontal portion near its base. The
roughened edge where the toothed bow
scrapes, is upon the inner margin.
The right and left fore wings are precisely
alike, so that either may be used for the
bow or the fiddle.-IChicago News.
