LINDSAY CAPTURES TWO
FER0Cl0US LIBRARY BUGS
(From a SAD correspondent.l

LINCOLN, March Ia-(Special. )-Chief
Clerk Harry Lindsay of the supreme
court has made a capture and this morn
ing was exhibiting his find at the state
house. For some time insects have been
working on the volumes in the basement
of the state library, with the result that
a large number OF the volumes have been
ruined.
Mr.. Lindsay has been trying to locate
some Of the insects and this morning was
successful in capturing two OF them and
has them imprisoned in a bottle. They
appear to be a sort of bug about a six
tenth of an inch long and hak as wide.
They are Of the same color as the brown
covered books and It is therefore hard
work to discover them. They bore a
hole about the size Of a common pinhead
int the back of the books and eat the
paste. leaving the cover to fall off. Many
hundreds of the books have been bored
into by the bugs and as a result much
damage has been done.
The pests work only in danny climates,
and the danny condition of the state
house basement dueto the imperfect foun-
dalton, which is cracked in many places,
letting in the water. is responsible for
the presence of the pests and the rapid
deterioration OF the property of the state.
