Gus offensive OF the Marne. On the road
French battery passed a cart, contain

superb cock. A bargain was quietly
struck. The cock passed into the hands
OF the gunners, and was attached by his
legs to the timber of a seventy-five.
An hour later the battery received or
ders to fire, in order to cover the retreat
OF the troops. The cock was forgotten. At
the first discharge he tapped his wings
in frenzied effort to break free. The
gunners laughed like children. Came a
second shot and a second struggle But
at the third, the bold bird, now q hard
ened warrior, scrambled on the timber.
and, wings tapping, launched a vigorous
crow. After that, every time the seventy
five spoke, the cock added his shrilI
piercing, note to its thunders.
The gunners were quick to catch the
symbolic significance The cock was no
longer a mere farmyard fowl. fat and fit
for the evening pot, but the "coq ga

London. Jan. 2.-The Belgisns are pre-
pairing already for the great work of re-
construction. A conference is shortly
to be held here OF Belgian statesmen
and architects together with English
architects and town planners.
The Belgians are determined that the
new Belgium will be not only more beau
tiful than the old, but planned in accord
ance with modern ideas of sanitation and
convenience. 1t is felt that what is
wanted is a comprehensive scheme for
the whole country. A survey of the coun-
try as whole by men qualified to make
a practical report is the first essential.
In the first place the Belgian architects
are to turn their attention to the diff
ficult problem of the restoration of the
damaged historical buildings. It is
thought it will be possible to restore the
Cloth Hall at Ypres, as well as the cath
edral at LOUvain.

LOCUST EATERS.

While the locust is essentially plant
devourer and famine breeder, says
THE Christian Herald" there are many
well authenticated cases in history
showing that populations reduced to the
last extremity have utilized the de-
structive insect as food. Diodorus Sic
illus relates that an Ethiopian tribe was
known as Acridophagi ("eaters of To-
custs"), while Aristotle writes of GER.
tain part of Greece where the people
regarded them as delicacies. Layard
the explorer, found on the engraved
monuments pictures of dried and pre-.
served locusts on rods, presumably in
dicating their use as food. 1t is not
believed that any race to-day eats them
They are regarded everywhere in the
East as an abhorrent calamity, and the
presence of vast swarms in Palestine
this spring is held to be a forerunner
of complete crop failure, both of fruits
and cereals.
