MADE MEMENTos OF LocusTs
Pennsylvania Has Novel Reminder Of
Visitation.

James o. Kichline, veteran resi-
dent of North Bethlehem, Pa, has
unique relic of the invasion in 1885 Of
seventeen year locusts in that vicinity.
When locusts by the million overran
the country there he spent his spare
time gathering the insects. Then at
his leisure he made Of them a wreath
and star.
The wreath is composed Of locusts'
wings, arranged in flower and leaf
fashion. The stars center Is also COM
posed Of locusts' wings, while the six
points are made Of whole locusts The
background of the star is made of
leaves of locusts' wings.
The wreath and star stand two feet
high by three feet wide. and this piece
is but one Of many novelties made by
Mr.. Kichline. who is seventy four
years old.

HISTORY IN TATTooED ROCKS.
New Zealand Originally Inhabited by
Sun Worshipers

Clement Wragge. who has inspected
what are known as the ''tattooed
rocks" on the coast near Raglan, New
Zealand. is distinctly Of the opinion
that they are the work Of neither Ia
mil nor Maori. but are the inscriptions
Of a very ancient race of sun worship
people. antedating the advent of the
Maori by untold centuries.
The spiral circle, ovals, crosses and
squares, he says. are most significant
and confirm his opinion that New Zea-
land has been inhabited by early man.
He considers the inscriptions are prob
ably connected with those at Easter
island and Central and South America
and are Atlantean or Lemurian in
origin: further, that the Maori copied
the spiral from the relics Of ancient
people and did not initiate It.

A ROAD WASTE.

The appropriations made by
the different states for improved
roads have been wasted to a
very large extent. New York

perhaps ono third as much. And

far as we know has made proper
provision for their maintenance.
