A Great Grasshopper Hunt. LINCOLN, NI:?, April li'.-In Ne braska ibo farmers and scientists are organizing a grand grasshopper hunt. It will be thc first time that anything of tin; kimi on so large a scale has been attempted, lt is not intended that on .stated days the neighbors shall meet, encircle given territory and driving the grasshoppers before them into a constantly narrowing area, heat them to death, as in the wolf hun! of old. This is to bc a scientific experi ment. Prof. Lawrence. Brunei-, who i- re garded as thc greatest authority on grasshoppers in the world, and was employed by tho Argentine Kepublic some years ago to rid that ? MM ry "i ^ devastating locusts, is (.? be the leader of thc hunt, and li i ; now sending j out circulars, explaining his mode ol j attack. Then-ni- twenty species :;!' grass hoppers in t!?'' railed States, and Ne braska is alllieted with nine of these. Kaeh belongs toa breed that multi plie- ( NC e lingly ind docs great dam age t<> vegetation. The four most numerous species are thc two lined, tho differential, ti; ; red-legged and thc lesser migratory. The two first named arc, when Full-grown, au inch and al hail' from forehead to tip of wing, and the others only a trille more than an inch, with bodies in proportion. The hatching is all done in tho earth. The female seeks a favorite spot and lay ber eggs, tine female will lay 100eggs in a grjshn. Usually only a single generation of these in sects is raised in a year. It is cal culated that under favorable conditions the number is increased fifty times each year. This is what has happened in west ern and southwestern Nebraska, in the alfalfa country, where no fanner is content unless he gets four crops a year of that forage plant. Thc hop pers arc overrunning everything and the farmers have begged thc scientists to relieve them. Tho scientists say that thc unusual increase in thc hop pers is duo to the fact that several seasons have been very dry in that re gion, which lessens the liability of tho hopper to disease and at tho same time kills off the parasites that look upon hopper meat as thc darkey does upon possum. The scientists have tried several old remedies but they haven't worked well. Insect-destroying fungi halted tho hoppers for a time, but they seem to have secured an antidote for some of these fungi and the only death dealing fungus is that known to botan ists as Kmpusa gryllae. This causes an epidemic wherever it can bo propa gated. When once attacked thc hopper climbs up tho stem nf some weed or other plant and scourcly attaches it self by tightly hugging the plant with its front and middle legs. In this po sition it dios. A few days after death the body open ) at thc joints and tho dust-like spores currr tho poison on the wind to b<j deposited where some other hopper is making a meal on veg etation. The most popular method of fight ing thc grasshoppers has been to har row or disk the land in which grass hopper I eggs have been deposited. This stirring of thc soil not only de stroys many eggs but also exposes tho remainder to the sun or thc birds and parasites. It is also a good thing for thc alfalfa crop. Cross-disking gen erally ends tho grasshopper plague io that imm?diate neighborhood, but it is necessary to go not only over culti vated laud but also along irrigating ditches, old roads and deserted break ings. Thc various remedies have been tried, but still the grasshopper flour ishes and threatens the crops. And so tho grand hunt is to take place. There will be no firearms, uo club.-.. lt will be a hunt by machinery. The machine is called thc hopper dozer and can bc operated by hand (ir horse. It is made of stovepipe iron by turning up thc sides and cuds of the sheet about four inches so as to make a long flat pan about four inches in depth. This is mounted on run ners varying in height according to re quirements. On a frame back of thc pan is stretched a piece of cloth to prevent thc insects from jumping over thc pan. When ready for work thc pan is partly filled with water awi then some coal oil is added. If the ground is level no cross pieces arc necessary, but if the pan is to bc used on sloping ground it should bc made with little partitions every six or eight inches tn prevent the oil and water from run ning to ono end. Thc height of the runners varies from two toten inches, depending upon the crop to bc pro tected and tho age of tho insects to be captured. Thc results aro surprising. The hoppers are simply mowed down. They come leaning toward thc strang smelling liquid; then they want to leap out again, but thc oil kills them. When tho dozer gets full, the dead in sects aro shovelled out, a little more oil added and thc machine is started again. Bushels of hoppers can bo de stroyed in a singlo day. It is with these hopoerr. that the hunt is to be conducted. Tito grasshopper lia? all seasons for j hatching, hut m..st of the eggs arc ? laid in tae fall.

I "Latest . f mai .1- is thc tclegi-a- j phone, which wa testtd recently in Washington, says the Washington Times.

'One of thc records exhibited was from Huston, lt had talked over aa ordinary long-distance telephone into thc tclcgraphouc. The record was put in and the cylinder started by means of its clockwork attachment. "'Hello, New Vork!' sounded the instruments, loud and clear. 'This is Boston. Now arc you ul 1 in New Vork, and how's my old friend Mr. Kusenbaum? Hope you're having Setter weather there than we arc hav iug herc. Been raining three weeks. Well, good-by.' "This record had been sent a week ago. Another reeord was exhibited from Chicago. Charles A. Brown, a Chicago patent solicitor, was at thc phone-that is, he had been the day before-and thc phonograph repeated everything ho said with faithful ac curacy. "For instance, Mr. Smith, telephone No. '.?,111)1?, John is called out the city. lie expects one of his clients to ring him up during thc day on an import ant matter. So he talks into tho tclc grophono, using his ordinary telephone and switching it on thc other instru ment. " 'Hello, Mr. Brown. Tois is Mr. Smith,' ho says. 'I'm going out of town over night, but just talk into the phone what you learned about that matter wo wero discussing and I'll attend to it the first thing in the morn ing.' "Thou the client talks away and tho faithful telegraphone records all he has to say. Next morning Mr. Smith has Mr. Brown's message bright and early by switching thc telegraphone on to thc telephone receiver. "This new apparatus differs from tho ordinary phonograph in being electrical, where tho phonograph is purely mechanical. Thc records are taken on cylinders charged with a spiral of steel wire, the magnet mag netizing tho wiro with varying de grees in accordance \ itk the tones spoken into thc transmitter. Then to reproduce the sound it is simply ne cessary to adjust thc magnet to the reproducing device and the spoken words come out clear and strong. When a subseribcr wishes to leave his telephone, he simply turns thc switch and thc ringing of the bell starts thc tilegraphonc working, lt will deliver a message or receive one. lt is also a phonograph pure and simple and also a dictating machine.

Bawls, of (J Battery 3rd artillery, U. S. A., arrived here yesterday from :-an Fran cisco, where he has been confined in a hospital since his arrival in this coun try from the Philippines. Sergt. Bawls is an old Charleston boy and during thc Spanish-American war served under Capt. Kdward Anderson. Several months..go he wa< taken sick and was sent to a hospital in Manila. From then he was sent to San Fran cisco asa convalescent patient and r ow he i- un a iwu month's sick leave. Sergt. Kiwis went to the Philippines in ISM and tij> t<> thc limo he was taken .-ick lie accompanied hi* battery e\ cry w here il went. "After thc Spanish war,'' he suid, '1 left Charleston, accompanied by Waters, nf Camden; Moseley of Cam den, and Bethen, of Marion. Wc went from herc to San I'rancisco and there we were assigned to the i?rd artillery. A portion of tin: artillery wa? stationed in int: Philippines at iL : time and we weic hustled over there at once. Wu arrived lhere some time ' Hiing the early part nf May and il was not long after that before wc saw actual lighting. "But there is really no lighting going on lhere now. In fact it has beeii over a year now since there bas been a real good clash. Ol' course, in the mountains there are bandits, sometimes thirty strong, and they fire on wagon trains. .Just before I was taken sick we captured over thirty at one time. They are very ignorant people and don't mind doing any thing. "All of the business of the island is carried on by the women. That might seem very strange, but it is a fact. The men arc too lazy. All that they do is to gamble aud fight cocks. Thc women are very thrifty and many of them have made enormous fortunes. They manage all kinds of business, farm, export stuff, etc. Some of the womeu arc very good looking. They do not differ in looks very much from an Indian. Their skin, of course, is very dark and, as a rule, their noses are Hat, but their hair is perfectly straight. Those that have mouey dress in fashion. I think thc fashion is that of thc time of Queen Isabelle, of Spain. I know it is very old. "Thc people have no written his tory, because they have no language. They speak only dialect. In tho is lands there are over 500dialects. The people have traditions, but nothing is written. In the larger cities Spanish to a great extent is spoken. Before I left hero I was able to speak a little Spanish and after I got to the island I studied veryjierd. After a while I was able to talk fairly well. But to talk with all the natives is simply impossible, owing to tho many dia lects. "I suppose there has been a great deal of talk concerning tho fare and food of thc soldiers fighting in the Philippines. As a rule the food is very good. Io some of the outlaying camps or districts it is difficult to get fresh meat, because thc wagons can not get to the camps as often as they would like. There is a great scarcity of milk. The cows on the island suf fer from somo kind of disease which make.-, thc milk worthless. Most of the fresh meat is brought from Aus tralia and it is usually good. Tho meat is mostly beef and mutton. Veg etable?, of course, aro a luxury. Tho people on the island are too lazy to plant to any extent, that is, such things ad require attention.

Everywhere else there arc more than enough men to go round one for each woman, and 15 300,000 extra I ones who must perfor?e remaiu bauch - ? Hors or widowers. I This is a fact of statistics-there ! are 15 300,000 moro men than women, j in this world. Thc malo excess is ? stupendous -e<jual to about onc-lifth ? of thc lot ti population of the United j States. Thc total population of thc earth is j estimated at 1,51)0,000,000. More than I one half of them have been actually I counted, while the balance is careful I ly estimated. Statisticians have investigated the question of thc num erical strength of the two sexes, and their estimates involve 1,283,000,00t) suuis, or about ss per cent of the to tal population o*' thc earth. According to their estimates, Eu rope has a population ol' 331,000,000. with 3,000,000 more women than men -thc only country that has an excess ol' women. Asia has a population of 815,001),UDO, with a male plurality of 10,000,000; Africa, with a population of 27,000,000, has about 1,000,000 more men than women: in America, which has a population of 102,000,000, there arc also about 1,000,000 more men than women; thc plurality of men in Australia, with a total population of 4,000,000, is about 500,000. According io the estimates of the statisticians there are(557,500,000 men and 042,500,000 women in this world, giving thc men a majority of 15,300, 000. Even in Europe there are many countries where the men outnumber the women. This is the case in Italy, Greece, Roumania, Bulgana, Servia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, aud in the small principality of Liechtenstein. Tho aggregate of thc populations of those countries gives the men a ma jority of about 500,000. Portugal, Sweedeu, Norway, Rus sian Boland aud Great Britain show a preponderance of women at tho ratio of 1,060 women to 1,000 men. In Germany there aro 1,030 women to every 1,000 men, while the majority of women in Hungary, Russia, France j aud Belgium is comparatively insigni ficant. This is in large measure due to two causes. First, Europe has been a terrible battle ground for cen turies; second, tho greater proportion of American immigrants have come from Europe and a large majority of ?hem were men. It has been found that women arc more sociable than men, and that they avoid countries whero the population is thinly scattered over a largo terri tory. Hunting and pastoral peoples and even those in the first stages of agricultural development for that rea son invariably have more men than women. The countries with the greatest industrial development in pro portion to their area show tho great est numerical preponderance of wo men. Other elements which greatly influ ence the percentage of women are their legal status, including the laws j of inheritago and succession, unfav- j orable marriage laws and other condi tions inimical to the rights of wo men. Climate and meteorological condi- j tions-also influence the relativa ratio between men and women. In tropi cal and polar zones tho men predomi nate in numbers, while in thc moder ate zone the women slightly predomi nate. Dry and sterile countries in variably have moro men than women, while the opposite is thc case in fer tile countries with sufficient rainfall. In America alone thc statistics show that there arc 1,000,000 more men than women. So at least 1,000, 000 of thc mon should bc considered exempt from the bachelor's tax. If these arc more than 1,000,000 bachel ors in the couutry all above that num ber exempt should be, when properly coralled aud branded, made to pay the proper tax if thc Legislatures of thc various States choose to heed the cry of thc enemies of bachelors ab J put a tax on them. But from thc statistics it eau readi ly be seen that not old bachelors, but old maids, should be taxed. Tho vis iblo supply of men in the world seems to bo far over tho demand.-St. Lom?
