BOERS AND THE LOCUSTS,
* Wfcy They Refuse to Exterminate These
Seath Africaa Pests,
J.
A correspondent writes of the numerons
swarms of locusts which from time
to time settle on South African farms,
/ and the method by which the farmers
destroy them. The locusts cover everything:,
and are described as blotting out
the sun In their flight till It seemed
shining through an orange mist The
rush of their wings fills the air with
sound li^e the roaring of a storm
through a pine forest, and the bodies
of those which, wearied with flight, fell
to the earth covered the ground like
a living can>ot Seen at a little distance,
.the main body of the swarm resembles
a snowstorm, the wings diaphanous
in the sunlight, drifting along
- before the wind, cr sinking softly
toward the ground. It is impossible
to ride through the living mass, as the
buffeting of the face and hands of the
rider becomes intolerable. As seen from
behind the swarm is visible for miles,
i trailing across the country like a big
band of smoke floating along before the
EK breeze. When the swarm alights it
destroys every green blade of vegetation,
and leaves behind it a track of
ruin and desolation. A method of dealing
with the pests with fair effectiveness,
even in the fully developed flying
insect stage,, has been discovered
In the colony. A fungus has been
found which thrives rapidly on their
> bodies with invariably fatal effect. The
disease ^preads with extraordinary
rapidity, and if once a swarm be lnfect|
ed the whole mass of Insects disappears
In a few days' time. Cultures of the
^ fungus are supplied to the farmers by
~ the government, and when a swarm
approaches a neighborhood all the fa5*-'
mer has to do is to ride out with' a
A can of the material aDd a sprinkler of
| " twigs, and sprinkle it herfc-and there
on the insects as they fly past hlny:
In a few days there will be an end of
that particular swarm. It is mentioned
as characteristic of the local Dutch,
that they refuse to have anything to
do with the new method of exerminats
ing what is one of the greatest obstacles
to successful farming In South
Arfriea. They say God created the locusts
and It is sinful to destroy them.
' A Cartons Accident
%g;: At Sheffield, England, recently, a cu||
rlons accident occurred. A passenger
|p|-. was riding on a double deck electrical
!|v\' v car, and a single deck car passed in the
' opposite direction. The rope of the
^ trolley boom of the latter was flying
fl; In the wind, and it wound itself around
the passengers* neck. Fortunately he
bad the presence of mind to seize the
|X rope with both hands and release himself,
or he would probably have been
ply; pulled from the car.

The truth somehow went to his head ;
By trouble he is caught.
He frankly went ahead and said
What everybody thought.
Some people said, "Of course it's true
And that's what makes it worse ;
We'll have to quit him. He is due
To feel the social curse
Which o'er the over-bold is spread."
His life with woe is fraught.
And all because he frankly said
What everybody thought.

Under such detennined resistance,
Leslie Austin retreated. He bit his lips
angrily, as he walked rapidly down the
road to the village hotel.
"It's a shame," decided his friend
Bob Townsend, as he heard the disappointed
lover's story.
"We think so much of each other,"
murmured Leslie, mournfully.
"You ain't going to give up this way,
are you?" asked Bob.
Leslie looked up inquiringly.
"What else cau I do?" he asked,
"Marry her," said Bob.
"Her father won't consent"
"Suppose he don't."
Leslie started, ^but shook his head
slowly.
"I know what you're hitting at. Bob
?an elopement."
"You're right."
"But it could not be."
"Why not?"
"Because Alice is bound to obey her
father, and I am, too, for that matter."
Bob scowled impatiently.
"Nonsense!" he aspirated, angrily.
"See here, Leslie. If you were the irresponsible
chap old Smith thinks you,
I'd hesitate; but you ain't?you're an
honest, well-to-do lawyer, respectab'y

prejudice on the fanner's part, that because

"Granted."
"Therefore, being In the right, and
the old farmer in one of his mad
moods, I'd outwit him."
"How?"
The query was encouraging.
"Run away with Alice," said Bob.
"1 can't."
"Why not?"
"Her father watches her too closely."
"That's the only reason, is it?"
"I believe so."
~ "She's willing?"
"Presumably."
"And you?"
"O, Bob, you're talking nonsense!
I might as well go ba^k to the city
and wait until Mr. Smith changes his
mind."
"And let some other fellow have
Alice. You're a brave lover!" *
Leslie was despondent.
"I have a plan, if you're plucky
enough tofollow it out," suggested Bob.
Leslie's face grew expectant at the
hint.
"What is it?" he asked.
"Listen!"
What Bob told the discouraged lover
need not be repeated. The subsequent
acts of the conspirators afford a suf
ficient explanation.
It was the next day that faithful Bot
reconnoitered the ground, and founc
that Farmer Smith had indeed taker
due precaution to prevent liisdaughtei
meeting or running away with Leslie
But Bob managed to get a letter tc
the fair prisoner?a letter after read
ing which secretly she manifested hei
acquiescence to its contents by an in
telligent noil to the messenger.
It was the afternoon of the day fol
^wing, just Farmer Smith had seni
his two boys to the town with a loaf
of potatoes, ai?d was seated, resting foi
au hour or two, on the front porch
with Alice industriously sewing b:
his side, that a vehicle driven by. i

Old Jabez looked in profound amaze
ment as the vehicle came to a stop
It was a kind of skeleton wagon, witt
a double seat, and behind it was at
tached a small rubber hose, with sev
eral wheels distributed here au(
there, near the axle.
"In the name of wonder, what hav<
we here?" he said, as he walked t<
the gate.
The driver sprang down.
"Jabez Smith?" he asked.
The farmer nodded a dignified as
sent, little dreaming that the beardet
stranger was Bob Townsend in dis
guise.
"I learn from inquiries in the viilng
that you are quite a scientist. Mi
Smith."
Science, of which old Jabez kne\
nothing, but affected much, was hi
salient point. Flattered by the Strang
er's words, he replied pompously.
"I reckon I know something a bout it.
"I have come. Mr. Smith." said th
stranger, "to show you a new motiv
power for hay rakes."
The farmer's face fell.
"A patent right!" he muttered. *
don't want to buy one," he said, alouc
\ turning to re-enter the house.
"Buy one!" replied the stranger.
"This is not for sale, sir." declare
i Bob, with quiet dignity. "I desireyou
opinion as a scientist in regard to th
principles involved in its eoustructio
and operations."
The farmer's face grew please
again.
"Happy to give it, sir. If I can be c
any use to tbe world at large by my
knowledge oi science?"
"Or make your fellow beings happy,
you're ready to sacrifice your valuable
time?eh, Mr Smith?" insinuated Bob.
"Certainly, sir."
"You can?you can, believe me sir,"
asseverated the wicked conspirator,
earnestly and truthfully. "Have you
a rake?"
"Yes."
"I'll help you bring it out here, and
we'll make a trial trip of this wonderful
machine."
A few minutes later the farmer's
hayrake was brought out. Bob made
; much ado of fastening it by a rope to
J the rear of the vehicle, and the farmer
j watched him curiously, as he turned
| the wheels and adjusted the hose to
j what he called i>osition.
"This hose is an air brake, sir. The
idea is, if we can make it do so, to have
the rake operate as usual. The air

".Tump in, Alice," he said, desperately.
The stranger whipped up the horse.
Old Jabez, in the rake seat behind,
clung on wildly as the horse was
driven briskly. He almost fell forward
as there was a break caused by
the rope parting. Bob had deftly cut
it with a knife.
"Hold on?hold on!" cried old Jabez,
as the new motor-power vehicle
dashed forward.
He stared blankly as it traversed
the field, made a sharp turn to the
road and, gracefully rounding a
curve in the highway, disappeared
from view. ^
What did it mean? The boys had
taken the horses to town, and he
could not start in pursuit; but he
grew white as he discerned a fact;
He had l>eeu tricked!
He had cooled down considerably
when, at nightfall, a carriage drew
up before the gate.
He looked grimly up from beneath
his shaggy eyebrows as Leslie Austin
and pretty, blushing Alice came forward.
Bob, following them, was the first
to speak.
"The new motor power took up a
new passenger down the road. Farmer
Smith,." he said slyly. "You
wanted to make mankind happy,
neighbor?you'te done it."
Jabez made a feint to declare hostilities,
then and there, against the
conspirators, but he sank back disarmed
in his chair as the gentle voice
of his wife said, pleadingly:
"Forgive them, father?they are so
happy!"
And Farmer Smith had not the
heart to say nay.

UERXANY IS SKEPTICAL.
No Importance la Attached to Decree
Emanating From the Chinese.
Cfficial circles iu Berlin, Germany,
attach little importance to the communication
of the Chinese minister at
Washington, dated June 29th. At
best it is interpreted as an attempt to
gloss over the recent outrageous deeds.
A number of statements made in it are
declared to be notoriously false, such
as for instance, the representations
regarding Baron Yon Ketteler'a death
and the Taku seizure.
The main objection urged in Berlin
is that nobody knows whose government
it is which the statement represents?whether
the gvoarnment of the
dowager empress and Kwang Hsu or
that of Prince Tuan. The document
bears date of June 29th, and nobody1
5 knows what government, if any, has
since succeeded.

Deeds Draws by Wlfllan Peas.
A unique feature of several old
Philadelphia business houses Is that
the transfer of the property on which
the buildings stand has been made by
Inheritance under the original deed
drawn by William Penn. The old snnff
works, on South Second street, have
, been operated T5y successive members
of the Garrett family for 150 years,
and the ground on which the building
stands was deeded by Penn. Although
' now In the tobacco trust, one room of
the plant has reserved for a nnm.
ber of antiquities of the snuff trade,
and here 'is the original deed of the
proprietor of Pennsylvania. The oldest
deed In Pennsylvania is written In
Dutch?a deed of transfer to William
Penn from a Dutchman who owned
what Is now Lemon Hill, and who sold
it to Penn. This document Is carefully
preserved on the sixth floor of- the
City Hall.
Old deeds have a certain Intrinsic
value aside from their original purA
crreat many colonial deeds
have been bought by gold beaters for
the sake of the superior parchment on
which they were written, as they have
discovered that it serves the purpose
of "gold beaters' skins." Collectors of
autographs have occasionally come
across valuable finds In these shops.?

Horseflesh as Food.
The use of horseflesh as food Is a
subject which has been brought into
prominence of late owing to the necessities
to which the beleaguered garrisons
in South Africa have been reduced.
It is, therefore, a matter of
general interest that certain butchers
in San Francisco have been detected
in using the flesh of the horse as a
substitute for beef in the manufacture
of sausages and other viands.
There is nothing unwholesome in using
the flesh of such a clean-feeding animal
as the horse, but it is rightly considered
that it should not be fpisted
upon consumers in place of more expensive
meats. In many Continental
countries the sale of horseflesh for hu
man food is considerable; but the but- I
chers are licensed, and the animals are ',
killed under proper sanitary conditions.
The New York Medical Journal
points out that it is comparatively
easy to detect the presence of horse
* in oncii smnll ouantlties as ,:
mrai civ.u iu ^
5 per cent The suspected meat is
boiled for about an hour in a small
quantity of water, which is afterward
reduced by evaporation, cooled, and
filtered. To this liquid a few drops of
compound iodine solution (one part io-1
dine and twelve parts potassic iodide?
in one hundred parts of water) is add-.
ed, when a fugitive red-violet colora- j
tion indicates the presence of horse i
meat.?Chambers's Journal.
