New Yorker Discovers Fish That
Strikes at Cigar Butts and Has
Taste for Nicotine.

Bartletts, n. Y.-,Iohn J. Flanagan,
manager at Bartletts, has as one OF
his proteges a black bass which uses
tobacco, The fish, being an intelli'
gent one, does not smoke cigarettes.
But it chews.
Mr.. Flaragan got acquainted with
the habits of the bass about month
ago. The bass favorite loafing ground
is near a powerhouse. Always, when
Mr., Flanagan goes to the power
house, he filings the cigar he happens
to be smoking away, so that there
will be no danger of fire.
He flung his cigar into the water by
the power-house one day and the bass
made a rush for 1t and grabbed 1t, dis.
appearing under the water, Mr.
Flanagan thought little of that at the
time for on certain days bass will
strike at nearly anything while on
other days the most allurlng bait will
not tempt them. A day or two later
he flung another cigar butt into the
water and the same fish rose to It
and nabbcd 1t.
After this had happened dozen
times, Mr.. Flanagan was forced to
the conclusion that 1t was not mere
random hunger on the part of the
bass, but a genuine taste for tobacco.

Locusts in All Sections.

State Zoologist Surface announces
that the seventeen-year locust has
now appeared in all parts of Pennsyl-
vania where they will occur this year,
and there is, consequently, no need
of any further delay of pruning in
order to avoid the ravages, and no
need of keeping trees covered for pro-
lection from them in regions where
they have rot put in an appearance.
According to schedule, these peculiar
insects appeared in the mountainous
and hilly regions of Pennsylvania,
from the Susquehanna River to Har-
risburg, eastward to New Jersey. In
some places they were very abundant
Mr.. Surface is engaged in seeking in
formation as to the exact localities
In which they were present, so that
these can be charted on maps for flu
ture practical use. This information
should be sent to him together with
specimens. In some regions of the
State persons who planted young
fruit trees, followed the directions of
Prof. Surface in delaying pruning un-
til after the locusts had deposited
their eggs, so that the injured
branches could be cut away without
concentrating the injury into a small
area.
