PHosPHoREscENT RODENTS
Rats from Cuba Drive Ship'a Cat
Crazy During an Electric
Storm at Night.

New York.-The phosphorescent
drove a cat crazy in the little British
brigantine Venturer, that arrived at
pier No. 3, East river, the other day
from Santa Cruz, Cuba.
Two years ago Mr.. Chandler the
mate, procured fine big cat named
Pedro, as big as water spaniel, and
the vessel was kept free of rats.
After the ship had come through the
Straits of Florida on it's last trip Capt.
Burns found aboard the biggest rats
he had ever seen. They paid no at
tention to anybody and walked right
around the cat, which seemed power
less.
At night the rats gave out streaks
that looked like green lightning Their
uncanny appearance terrified Pedro,
which would run for the galley and
jump into the cooks lap for protec-
ton. The more sulphur and poison
the skipper fed the rats the fatter they
seemed to grow, while Pedro daily be-
came thinner.
One night in an electric storm the
rats seemed to be greener than ever.
Pedro went mad at the sight of the
phosphorescent rats and jumped over
board.
Then the skipper and the mate de-
cided 1t was time to put up a job on
the scientific rodents. The crew
smoked them all out from below, aft
and for'rard, stufiing up every nook
and Granny behind them.
AS the brigantine was humping in
seaway the skipper aided matters by
putting its nose to the wind and then
veering so as to catch the swell. Over
oareened the schooner and over went
all the green rats with the wash of
the sea.

PLAGUE OF LOCUSTS.
WILL VISIT UNITEI STATES,
SAY SCIENTISTS.
Eastern and Middle States Last Week
in May-seventeen and Thir-
teen and Thirteen Year
Varieties Expected.

Washngton.-The country is this
year TO have visit from not only
the 17-year locusts, but the l3-year
Is made by the bureau of entomology
of the department OF agriculture. The
locusts Will begin to appear in some
of the eastern and middle states about
the last week OF May. New York,
however, according to the entomology
ical sharps, will escape
The department has sent out for dis
tribution in the localities that will
be visited by the locusts a circular
which contains a map indicating the
various points where the locusts will
appear. Accompanying the circular is
reply card, on which may be noted
any information relating to the locust
swarms. The map refers to the IL
year brood, and the circular gives
their distribution as follows:
THE region commences in south
eastern Massachusetts, extends south
across Long island and along the At
lantic coast of New Jersey, Delaware
and Maryland as far as Chesapeake
bay; then up the Susquehanha river
to Pennsylvania to point little be-
low Harrisburg, thence westward In
Ohio, embracing the southwestern
corner of the state and the northwest
ern portion of Kentucky, and then up
ward through southwestern Indiana,
ending in central Illinois. 1t ia pos
sible. also, that there is an eastward
extension of the region from Ken
tlcky into southern West Virginia,
and also in the counties of Buncombe
and Mcdowell in North Carolina, but
as these appearances were not verified
in 1872. 1t is probable that they be-
long to the 13-year race"
The 13-year locusts are not so nu-
merous nor so widely distributed as
the 17-year brood The circular
says they will appear in Alabama,
Georgia, North Carolina and rennes-
see. 1t is stated that the periodical
locust, when it appears in great num-
bers, naturally causes considerable
alarm and arouses fears for the safety
of shade trees and orchards. The act
'"' N"'ii"oSt iiO"NNOib usually
except in the case OF newly planted
orchards, and even here, by rigorous
pruning back after the locust has dis
appeared much of the injury caused
by the egg punctures may be OBJ
waited. AS matter of precaution,
however, the circular says it might
be well not to locate new orchards
this spring in recently cleared ground
or in proximity to woods In any of
the regions where the locust is sched-
uled to appear. In many cases, how-
ever, the clearing up and cultivation
of the ground will have destroyed the
larvae and it may not appear.
The exact date of emergence OF the
adults from the ground will vary
somewhat with the season. The eApe-
rience of many years, however, indi-
Gates that most of the individuals will
come out during the last week in
May. Very frequently the holes through
which they will emerge will appear in
the soil some weeks before the insects
actually come out. These holes are a
little larger around than lead pencil,
and are frequently so numerous as alb
solutely to cover the surface of the
ground.

BUZZARDS MENACE HEALTH
Coast Towns of Mexico Find That
Carrion Birds Pollute Their
Water.

San Antonio, TeX.-There is an agi-
tation now on in the coast towns of
Mexico to eliminate the vultures. Mex.
leo, like most of the states of America,
has cherished the carrion crow or tur-
key buzzard and fine is imposed for
killing these birds. They were assumed
to be great sanitary agents. But ex-
perience has shown the people Of the
hot lands where these repulsive fowls
are numbered by the thousand in every
vicinity, that the water supply is often
contaminated by the fowls.
In Port of Spain the birds have been
slaughtered by the thousand this
spring and their bodies formed into an
immense funeral pyre.
Tampico Mexico, is the pioneer of
the Mexican in the movement to kill
the vultures. That city is infested by
the fowls to an extent that Is not
equaled by any other Mexican coast
city. Sanitary experts there have re-
ported that instead of being a public
benefactor as a scavenger the vulture
has become public nuisance and a
menace to the health of the community
through the water supply.
1t Is held by the experts who have
framed an appeal to the national legis.
lature that the birds be removed from
the protection of the laws, that only
under primitive conditions are they of
any benefit as scavengers.
Where drainage is unknown and filth
IS scattered broadcast the sanitary ex-
perts say the buzzard helps. But when
modern conditions prevail the buzzard
becomes a menace.

An Expense to the People.

New Orleans, May IA, 1896.
To the Editor of the Times Democrat.
The Legislature of Louisiana
will convene in regular session
to-day. Much interest is mani
tested in the subjects which the
Governors message will deal
with, as the great wave of eco
nomic measures in politics is the
principal topic of the day
throughout the country, and the
taxpayers of Louisiana r very
much interested, wishing to
know if the coming Legislature
will be a business session andact
upon lines that will be to the
general welfare of the State in
cutting down expenses and taxa
ton. at the same time placing a
high license on a business that
can best pay it and do the great
est number of people the least
harm.
There are several legislative
matters which should be taken
up and laws passed that will
save the people Of this State
several hundred thousand dol
lars that would help to supply
the demands for money made
upon our Legislature for edu-
cation, immigration. good roads,
etc. Laws should be passed
placing the sheriffs, clerks of
court, assessors and tax collect
ors of the State on a salary basis.
There is not another State in
the Union that would submit or
does submit to the outrageous
salaries which are paid the
sheriffs, clerks of court and as
SCISSORS of the State. Nor would
any other State, corporation or
individual pay the amount which
is paid the State tax collectors Of
the city of New Orleans for the
service rendered. There GER
tainly can be no reason why the
taxes of the State, amounting to
seven mills in the city of New
Orleans, should not be collected
by one tax collector, as is done
by the city. where they collect
twenty-five mills and only re-
ceive. as I am reliably informed,
about $1,000, instead of paying
something over $50, 900 under the
present assessment to the State
tax collectors for collecting the
seven mills.
This cannot be claimed by the
city members of the Legislature
to be a city issue; it is a
State issue, as the funds belong
to the State-not to the city
Therefore, every country mem
Der has an equal right and in
terest with his vote in this mat
