BUGS NOW Make

Get Down NeCkS and OCCa-
SiOnaIIy Into Threats Of
Yawning Trolley Riders

Those who linger about the big arc
lights these days are in danger of becom-
ing bug infested If not altogether bug
house. During the nights of the past
month hundreds of green little bugs have
been flying in swarms about the big cleo
trio lights. II would not have been half
bad If the bugs had remained about the
lights. but they go down the backs and
into the cars and eyes of unsuspecting
trolley riders
over on tho southside they seem to
be more prolific than anywhere else. ow-
ing. probably, to the marsh land there
an dthey swarm around the arc lights in
such numbers that they actually cloud
them. Trolley riders on the way Ia
Brandywine Springs Park have encounter
ed the pests all arong the line. the little
"bugses" welcoming the lights Of the
lonely troleys as they speed down the
road feminine shrleks, and gasps soon
give evidence Of the presence of the
naughty mites and occasionally there is a
choke Of rage as a pair OF the little green
fellows go bang down some masculine
throat as its proprietor is enjoying a big
yawn.
"Ain't It awful Mabel" is all that the
trolleymen venture to say, however.

Norwegian inventor, says the Len
don Times, has devised a micro
phone, inclosed in a water-tight box.
which may be immersed in the sea
and is connected by wires with the
fishing boat. According to LElec-
tricien, the approach of a shoal of
fish can be detected with certainty.
and each kind of fish makes a dis
tinctive sound in its motion through
the water. Experienced fishermen
can in the ordinary way detect the
presence of herring and mackerel
long before they reach the fishing
vessels, but where the more subtle
movements of the fiat fish are con-

phone may prove a useful indicator
