At the annual meeting Of the stock

which would enable the company to sup

it was understood that the Gcald inter

PLAGUE OF LocUsTs.
Vast Areas in South America Are
Being sRavaged by Them.


Vast regions in South America are
being devastated by locusts. This is
the third successive season in which
they have appeared in countless swarms
ard every vestige of vegetation on
which cattle and sheep subsist is being
destroyed. The countries chiefly affect
ed are Argentina, Bolivia. southern
Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay. In
these countries the swarnis have been
steadily increasing for number of
years. They are supposed to originate
in the southerly part of the Amazon
basin and in the chaos of Bolivia and
of northern Argentina. They had come
from the north in clouds that sometimes
darken the sun and some OF the swarms
have been estimated to be 60 miles
long and from l. to 10 miles wide. But
these billions of flying insects are only
the forerunners of the greater mischief
to come.
They make desolate the area in
which they settle, but often jump wide
aieas in their flight Before they take
TO the wing they lay billions of eggs in
the warm earth which in few weeks
become hcppers. 1t is this young, vora-
cious brood, before it can fly, that ut
terly strips the land of everything
green as though it had been burned
over.
All the governments are fighting the
evil. Two years ago the Argentine gov
ernment organized a commission for
the destruction of the locust. Last
year the Argentine Congress placed $4,-
100000 at the disposal of this commits
sion. subcommittee represent the
general commission in every depart
ment exposed to these invasions and
they extend from the northern limit Of
agriculture in the republic to the Neu-
quen river, almost to Patagonia. Ev-
erything possible is done to minimize
the damage.
A fine of 100 pesos is imposed upon
any settler failing to report to the sub
committee in his district the presence
of locust swarms or hopper eggs on his
land. An organized service embracing
thousands of men is in readiness at any
moment to send force to any place
where danger is reported The most
effective war is waged against the
young hoppers.
The official report is that as mary as
$1,000 hopper eggs have been counted
in a space less than three and n half
feet square. A prodgious number of
the young insects are destroyed soon
after Matching by means of sprinkling
carts filled with arsenicVwater or other
poisonous liquids. Still many of them
escape and the country they cover is
too vast to be entirely treated with the
sprinkling process. Fortunately the
young hoppers have habit that facili-
tates the destruction of millions more
of them. By the time they are two
weeks old they have developed an enor
nous appetite. But they do not set
out to eat up the world in thin array
or scattered detachments. They collect
here and there in compact masses to
move forward on the food and when |
an army of hoppers advances from one
space to another there is nothing left
to eat on the ground they have de-
serted. They cannot fly, they move
forward only from 400 to 600 feet
day.

to find out how the name originated.
1t has nothing to do with the SUPPOSE

it is called from an ancient practice

Hanging Pictures.

A safe rule TO remember when hang
ing pictures is that the middle of the
picture should be on level with the
eyes. OF course, If you are unusually
tall this rule does not hold good. Do
not mix several kinds and types of
pictures together. Let all the water
colors, oils or engravings be placed
in separate rooms, or, at any rate, on
different walls. Above all, do not over
crowd your walls A few well-chosen
pictures look far better than a number
of mediocre ones.

is the lowly person, who commutes
to New Jersey.
There is story of westerner

from, drew a revolver and replied:
From Arkansaw. Now, laugh,
darn you'll" In the past some such
forcible measures would have been
necessary to prevent the Jerseyite
from becoming the object of the
plying smiles of New Workers.
But every dog has his day. The
Jerseyite will have his next Tues
day, when the new North river sub

trumpets and a futter of flags and
