Messages from the Dead.

In the Journal of the British Psychical
Research Society fuller details are now
published concerning the recent state
ment of Sir Oliver Lodge that, in his
opinion, messages had been received from
the dead. The messages appear TO have
been transmitted through the pen of a
medium known as Mrs. Hollandrones. As
she sat with her mind blank, her pen
produced broken and blurred messages.

Presidents Proclamation Reviews
Prosperity, Urges Reforms.

Vigil AeS1OA
President Roosevelt has issued the
annual Thanksgiving proclamation,
pointing out the steady growth of the
nation in strength, worldly power,
wealth and population, and fixing Nov
26 as the day for thankful recognition
Of divine favor. In part the President
says:
Year by year this nation grows in
strength and worldly power. Nowhere else
in the world is the average of individual
comfort and material well-being as high
as in our fortunate land
For the reason that in material we'll
being we have thus abounded we owe to
the Almighty to show equal progress in
moral and spiritual things. That life is
wasted and worse than wasted which is
spent in piling, heap on heap those things
which minister merely to the pleasure of
the body and to the power that rests only
on wealth.
Upon material well-being as a founda-
ton must be raised the structure of the
lofty life of the spirit if this nation is
properly to fulfill its great mission and
to accomplish all that we so ardently hope
and desire.
Let us therefore as a people set our
faces resolutely against evil and with
broad charity. with kindness and good
will toward all men. but with unfiinching
determination to smite down wrong, strive
with all the strength that is given us for
Righteousness in public and in private
life

PLAGUE OF LOCUSTS.
Vast Areas in South America Are
Being Ravaged 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 swarIns
which cattle and sheep subsist is being
destroyed. The countries chiefly affect
ed are Argentina, Bolivia, southern
Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay. In
steadily increasing for number Of
years. They are supposed to originate
in the southerly part Of the Amazon
basin and in the Chaco 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 - 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
areas in their fight. Before they take
to the wing they lay billions of eggs in
the warm earth which in few weeks
become hoppers. 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

the destruction of the locust. Last
year the Argentine Congress placed ST.,
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 a force to any place
where danger is reported. The most
effective war is waged against the
young hoppers.
The official report is that IS many as
$1,000 hopper eggs have been counted
in a space less than three and q half
feet square. A prOdigious number Of
the young insects are destroyed soon
after Matching by means OF sprinkling
carts filled with arsenic water 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 a habit that facili-
tqtes 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 COO feet a
day.
