Important Happenings Of the
Week Briefly Told.

Have You Heard This Worm Ssoryf
Billings.-For the first time in the
history of the treasure state, so far az
can be ascertained, the army worm. or
vermin strongly resembling that
species both In appearance and &C.
tons. has made its appearance in the
valley west OF this city. and although
virtually all of them have been
drowned. their presence for several
days caused much apprehension among
horticulturists and farmers, who feared
that havoc would result to crops and
the foliage OF fruit trees.
According TO information brought ia
the city by a well-known farmer. the
worms arrived In immense numbers i'm
the vicinity OF the Buchanan ranch
and began eating the leaves from the
trees OF the Montana Fruit and Irriga-
ton company. The employees OF the
company are said to have used strenu-
GUS efforts to get rid OF the pests and
finally succeeded in shaking them
from the trees.
The worms. after leaving the or.
chard, are said to have Travelled like n
vast army toward the east. covering
an area more than a mile in width,
but. contrary to the belief OF the farm
ers. little or no damage was done to
growing crops. the fayoritc food Of the
pests apparently being weeds and Ruz-
sian thistles.
When the Cove ditch was reached
tho worms crawled over the bank aud
were precipitatod into the water.
where virtually all OF them were
drowned and the mass. which was car.
ricd ashore some miles down tho
canal, IL said TO have been sufficiently
large to have almost filled a goodsized
freight car.
Those who saw them say they wers
very much like the army worms. which
are common In some of the northern
states. except that they were Of
harker green color. They varied in
length from about one to three inches.

irritating breaking out, which came on
her face, neck and back When she
first came down with it, it came in
little watery-like testers under her
eyes, and on her chin, then after a few
days it would dry down in scaly, white
scabs. In the daytime she was quite
worrysone and would dig and scratch
her face nearly all the time.

found she was suffering from eczema,

The New HYdrocYcIe.

First came the bicycle, with which
all are familiar. Next came the mo-
torcycle, clipping it through the
streets at terrific pace-the power be-
ing supplied by mysterious box I'M
der the riders seat, which gives the
machine is name. Now comes an in
ventor at Oakland, Cal. E. Frey, with
a new machine called the hydrocycIe
which is a motorcycle designed to run
on water. Mr.. Frey has long since
won recognition in mechanical con-
trivances-his new gas engine, now
in general use, demonstrating the fact
that he is something more than a
mere dreamer of dreams. His hydro
cycle has three wheels, which are
foated by two air tanks located in the
center of the machine. Rudders for
steering are attached to the tanks on
either side, and are controlled by a
small wheel placed between the han
die bars. The third or extra wheel Is
in the rear-the three wheels being in
line or tandem. The riders seat is
located between the first two wheels,
while the third wheel in the rear is
supplied with ten paddles on eithe.
side, which extend six inches beyond
its rim and so reach down into the
water. The hydrocycle is thus a mo-
torcycle, propelled by a third wheel
carrying paddles at the stern.
