The plague of grasshoppers which has
beset the farmers in many parts Of the
country this summer IL said to be Ut an
end. thanks to strange parasite that
is killing off the destructive insect, says
the Marquette Mining Journal. For
days past the farmers report noticing
number Of sick and dead grasshoppers
about their premises, which is believed
to be partially due to the rainy wealth
er, as it is then that the parasite is
best able to get in his work.
F. H. Vandenboom, a prominent farm
er in that section, reports having
caught number Of grasshoppers with
in the last few days, under the wings
Of which were found half dozen or
more small red eggs, resembling po-
tato bug eggs. From these eggs worms
hatch out, which enter the lungs Of the
grasshopper underneath the wings, and
within short time causes his death.
It may not be generally known that the
grasshopper breathes under his wings.
through small opening that looks as
If covered with isinglass.
Grasshoppers are said to have been
more destructive and numerous this
season than for years past. 1t is es-
timated that they have destroyed on an
average 40 per cent of this years crop
in the upper peninsula. The greatest
damage has been done to hay, pastures
and cabbage, but oats, potatoes, corn
and other crops have been attacked
IN lesser degree. That the plague is
about at an end will be welcome news
to the farmers.

NUMEROUS RuNAwAYs.
Four Teams Of Horses Break Loose
and cause Destruction.

and cause Destruction.
Runaways seem to be an everyday
occurrence in L'Anse this week.
A couple Of lively break-aways took
place Tuesday. One team Of horses
ran through Menard's livery stable, with
hay rack on the wagon frame and
never touched a thing. They came
around from behind the barn onto Main
street and were then stopped.
The worst accident occurred Thursday
afternoon when the buckskin team be-
longing to w. S. Crebassa, broke loose,
while they were at the depot. They
had not gone far before they had dis
tributed the contents of the wagon along
the road, and had succeeded in throwing
the driver from the wagon. While
coming down Main street, Chris Almli
succeeded in Jumping into the wagon.
He had just gotten . good position
when the front wheels pulled out, and
he was sent headlong to the ground.
The horses still kept on.
The Pequaming grocery wagon was
standing on the street and these horses,
hearing the racket, started of behind
the runaways.
Both teams came to standstill In
front Of the SENTINEL oflice.
The driver Of the buckskins, Frank
Grolo. was injured by his fall and will be
laid up for few days, while Mr.. Almli,
sxeept for few bruises, escaped un-
hurt.

TO RAISE rEwABIc.
New Diving Outfit Said to be Able to
Withstand Terrific Pressure to be
Used.

Lure of hidden treasure has led
one more attempt to recover the hoard
encased in the bones of the steamer
Pewabic, which has for 43 years lain
16O feet below the surface of Lake Hur-
on, off Thunder Bay island. It was in
1866 that the propeller Pewabic, laden
with 300 tons of refined copper, q
quantity Of silver bullion and a large
sum Of money, was sent to the bottom
by the steamer Meteor.
Numerous attempts have been made
to recover the treasure, but the great
depth precluded success, although q
portion of the copper was recovered.
Five submarine divers have 30 far lost
their lives in the attempt. The i'm
mense water pressure on the diving
outfits killed them.
Now comes New York syndicate
with . diving rig which consumed
eight years to perfect. The little
steamer Douglass, of Detroit, has been
charted and been fitted out. She de-
parted Saturday on the expedition. Will
liam Petry, Of New York, will be in
charge.
The diving outfit is Of aluminium and
steel and resembles q suit of armor. II
weighs about 400 pounds. It has been
tested in salt water to q depth Of PIC
feet. The outfit has telephone, elec-
tric lights and pump by which the
water can be removed should it enter
any Of the joints. Air is supplied by q
two and one-half inch tube.
Mr.. Petry was not inclined to discuss
the expedition.
"Wait until we get to work and ac-
complish something; then we'll talk, "
he said.
From the members of the crew, how
ever, it was learned that the Pewabic
will be in the nature of an experiment.
If successful, the wreckers will 60 after
bigger game.
One Of the treasures in view is the
ocean liner, Republic, sunk in collision
a few months ago on the Atlantic 9
couple of days out from New York.
Mr.. Petry intimated that the expedi-
ton will also visit Lake Erie and Su-
perior. There are sunken treasures In
both these inland seas. The Morning
Star lies on the bottom Of Lake Erie
somewhere between Point Pelee and
Cleveland. A whiskey laden schooner
has also been under the waves neal
Turtle island light, Lake Erie. for 4
years.
Capt. Geo. p. Mckay, Of Cleveland,
now treasurer Of the Lake Carrierl
Association, was master Of the Pewa'
bic when she was lost with number ot
passengers, some from Detroit.

Had it been possible, says the message,
to eliminate these extraordinary debts,
the budget would have shown decrease
of $S41,O over the current year; that
while the collections we're not quite equal
to the average, there is every reason foi
confidence that with peace assured, the
estimates of receipts for the coming year
will be fully realized.
CAN'T ORDER REFORMS.
Continuing, President Gomez says that
he is unwilling to increase existing taxes
or impose export duties on sugar and to-
bacco. He declares that he is unable at
present to introduce economies on account
of recently imposed heavy obligations
such as the cost of the army, but on the
restoration of normal conditions he feels
the fullest confidence in his ability to
satisfy his earnest desire to institute i'm
portant economic reforms.
After hearing the message, congress de-
ferred discussion of the budget.
