with the evolution of the airbrake to
vouch for its truth.
II was in 1865 that Mr. Westinghouse

the first train to which il was applied

Mr. Westinghouse, not content with

some day solving the problem of the

had been made. This may be his neSW
greatest discovery, though those fat

Railroads Prepare
for the Locusts
Predictions that They Will Be Here
in Force is Being Taken
Seriously.

Nebraska railroads will experiment with
the seventeen year old locust problem
this coming year. This is the year that
scientists predict the locusts eggs will
hatch and that the middle western states
will again see the plague OF the insects
in their midst eating up the crops
All manner OF suggestions are offered for
dealing with the pests and some Of those
may be tried out by the Burlington rail-
road. All the railroads OK the country are
naturally interested in the subject because
II the crops OF the land are damaged the
railroads will have hard picking with no
grain to move.
D. Glenn Beaver, head OF the land seek
ers' information bureau OF the Burlington.

asserts that he has a liquid which Will
effectually kill off the locust. The liquid
may be used as a spray to protect the
young trees. which the insects attack and
very often XIII The boring into the bark
and the laying of the locust eggs in the
trees poisons the sap of the young fruit
trees and the next fall they very often
die.
The locust scare may well develop into
a real one" said Mr.. Doaver Monday, 'Tt
Il quite possible that in spite OF the amount
Of cultivation in Nebraska the Insects will
be here in force or migrate to this state
One Of the reasons the locust did not do
much damage in 1894 was because in that
year there we're no crops to destroy, the
dry weather having killed them all"
Later on as the spring approaches there
will probably be some scientist who will
show us a way to either kin the eggs or
prevent the ones laid this year from hatch
