Austrian Method May Be of Value
in United States.
Destructive Little Pests Due to Ar
rive Again Next Spring, Ento-
moIogists DecIare-How
War May Be 'Waged.

Washington.-That the seventeen.
year locust is due to appear by next
spring is the announcement recently
made by entomologists who have kept
track of the little pests visits, and
while heretofore measures against
locust invasion have proved futile,
there is a possibility that the plan of
the ChemicalAgrarian institute of
Goerz. Austria, to reduce their num-
bers may be of benefit here, not only
In the case Of the seventeen-year To-
Gust, but of the annual supply of
grasshoppers. Vice Consul de Mar
tint at Trieste, In describing these
measures, says:
Under the guidance of their mas
ters the boys of all the communes OF
the province of Goerz were trained to
intercept the march and capture the
locusts in their invasion of that agri-
cultural district in 1909. Exact sta
tstics have just been published, CIV
ing interesting particulars which may
prove useful to other agrarian fields,
even in the United States.
The official report describes the
method used to combat the pest and
shows the results of each commune.
the number of litres of locusts killed
and prizes awarded to each school,
and the number of days work done
a days work consisting of three hours
by each boy. The days of work are
stated to have been 26.S45. during
which eleven railway wagon loads of
locusts were captured. The total
amount in prizes awarded to the boys
was 1900 crowns ($3,45D. Each boy
received 13 cents a day for three
hours, capturing on an average four
quarts of locusts each day. The total
expenditures were as follows: Prizes
to boys, s3,451; implements and their
repair, $500; overseers, s406; school
masters, 5000; administration work,
$508; total. 1864.
This work. due to proper organiza-
ton Of the schoolboys, shows what
might be achieved by similar means
on a much more extensive scale to
wipe out this plague. If 1t is COM
puted that each locust consumes daily
food to half the volume of It's body, 1t
follows that locusts thus captured
would have devoured sixty railway
wagon loads of hay (six tons to a
load), besides damaging cultivation.
OF the locusts captured, 400 made a
litre. The 100000 litres gathered rep
resented, therefore. about 45.000.000
locusts. 30,00O.0O0 of which were fe-
males that would have laid 100000
900 eggs for a new generation.
The Implements consisted of col
lectors, reservoirs and litre measures.

MOSQUITO BITE NEARLY KILL.
Operation Necessary to Save Young
Doctors Life.

New York, July 21.-As the result
OF mosquito bite received while he
was performing an autopsy in the
Newark city Hospital, where he is
an inferno, DR.. James S. Ford, a re-
cent graduate from the College Of
Physicians and Surgeons, Of Manhat-

eral operations were necessary to save
him.
DR.. Ford, who is only 23, was dis
secting a cadaver in the hospital
morgue when he crushed a mosquito
that had bitten him, and thoughtless-
ly scratched the bite.
A few days later the doctor felt a
pain in his arm and found that he
was suffering from blood poisoning.
He was put to bed in the hospital and
his fellow doctors labored to prevent
the spread of the poison, but it was
not until they had used the knife
several times that they were success
full.

IN SELF-DEFENSE
Mississippi Officer Kills Five Negroes
And MOrtally Wounds Two Who
Resist Arrest.

Elliott, Miss, July 21.-Five ne
groes were killed and two others were
mortally wounded today when the
seven, taking issue with Deputy Sher-
iff Sid Cauley, who was endeavoring
to take them into custody on a mi
nor charge, advanced on the officer
with farming implements as weapons
and with the avowed intention Of
cutting him down."
Bearing a warrant charging the
seven with assault, Cauley and two
citizens, deputized to assist him, went
to the home of Henry Beck, a colored
farmer, near Elliott, this afternoon.
AS the posse approached the negroes
ceased their work in the field and
grabbing pitchforks and other farm
ing tools made for the deputy. Cau-
ley, however, opened fire with two
revolvers before the belligerents came
within striking distance, and before
the others of the posse had regained
thir wits. five Of the attacking party
were dead the remainder wounded.
The deputy surrendered but was re-
leased to appear for formal hearing
tomorrow.
Several days ago an attempt was
made to effect the capture Of the ne
groes, but the arresting officer with
drew when they employed similar tao
tics to those of today.
