Peculiar Insects Visit Eagles
Mere

Residents at Eagles Mere are be.
ing troubled by species of fly which
they are unable to locate in books
on zoology and would welcome any
one who would be able to classify
these insects which make walking
dangerous without helmet and in
sect guard.
Starting at the Valley from Sones-
town to Eagles Mere along the
Eagles Mere railroad, the bugs can
be seen and as one approaches the
town of Eagles Mere they become
more plentiful. One resident of
that section described the mass be-
ing a cross between dragon fly
and a Curtiss biplane. The bugs
are the color of dust and have long
beaks that resemble somewhat those
of the New Jersey mosquito.
The mosquito contents itself with
sucking blood but this new insect
is more active. 1t takes it's prey
with it and in a quiet spot eats it's
fill and then returns for more.
FEARLESSLY ATTACKS PERSONS
The bugs fly directly at person
and in quick move sinks its beak
in the flesh and with a movement
not unlike dog when it tears meat
from bone, it pulls it's bit of hui
man meat from the body and gets
away with it before the attacked
party has time to retaliate.
The holes left by the bugs in
roads are being plugged with tai
low, so deep are they. Sores have
resulted from the bites and ply
sicians are keep busy prescribing
salves and ointments to counteract
the action of the sting. One man
was seen with his arms covered
with these bite and he said the
pain is severe at times
Fortunately none of the insects
have made their way towards
Laporte.

CHILD WITH TWO HEADS
Baby Born at Duryea Much
Like the Siamese Twins

A freak child was born to Mr..
and Mrs. Asthony Delhoteh OF
Duryea, Luzerne county, on Satur-
day, which in many respects paral-
leled the Siamese twins. The child
had two heads, facing each other.

deleivered. The attending physi-
clans at the birth were DR.. III. l..
Ransom of Pittston, and DR.. j. A.
Burlington of Duryea.
The extra heads and arms branch
ed off one trunk.
Both of the heads set on the
shoulders, but instead of facing to-
ward the front, they faced each
other. The feet also faced each
other and the ten little toes almost
touched. One set of hands grew
out just above the other.
The baby resembled the famous
Siamese twins, other than the heads
faced. Both of the faces were ex-
tremely well shaped and rather
pretty. All four of the legs were
OF the same size.
The mother of the child has given
birth to three children and all OF
them have been natural. Mrs.
Delhoteh is doing nicely.
The doctors took charge of the
child and it will be buried after
photographs have been taken.
