An army of locmsts is t wonderful nd u Interesting sight to the tnreler Wko does not own » jud of soil, and is a mere onlooker at thai* frightful de-loolttt nutation. It is Attila and his iamimer- >me horses rashin? over the world. To-day the wide vegetable plains are shining green with dense foliage; to­ morrow nothing bat brown twigs and bare branches, when the legion* move off on their .combined mission. As they arrive, the dense, dark clouds moving up from fche horizon, and often obscur­ ing the sun's rays, proclaim the ap­ proach of the widely dreaded scourge. The alarmed villagers oongrogate on tile expected line of march, beating drums and brass pots, shouting and lighting bonfires and making all kinds -of hideous noises. On one occasion, in South Africa, I drove off the enemy from a friend's garden by making four heaps of damp rubbish--one at each corner--in preparation, and then, limiting them at the proper moment, we dispersed the advance guard, our columns of thick smoke being carried by the wind upon the main body, which altered its route. Horses and oxen, their heads and nostrils tormented by the clinging limbs of the swarms, were bolting awav to the woods, kicking and plunging in their hasty flight. A hiss­ ing, crackling sound arose on all sides, the whole air seemed to be occupied by the falling and flying imps of mischief. The "locust bird" (a kind of crane)" hovered in small parties on their flanks, and subsisted on a very small percen­ tage of the insect hosts. In desert lo­ calities the hungry pests actually pitched on bones, matting, sticks, etc., and failing in a meal attacked and de­ voured each other, On another occa­ sion I drove for miles along a sandy tract, the wheels of the vehicle crush­ ing myriads of the newly hatched in­ sects, all crawling and creeping, with migratory instinct, toward the culti­ vated tracts. In India, loonst visits are fewer between, but far more fori midable, owing to the overwhelming masses. Sometimes a series of clouds, composed of their flights, cover severed miles simultaneously. Fortunately, there are several birds and beasts in quest of their bodies, and I have even seen them salted, dried, and sold in the markets. I have often inspected a dish of carried locust, but could not bring a sufficient amount of curiosity to bear on the tasting experiment, though a prawny odor went up with the steam. The fishes are great devourers of these winged visitors, for they fall into lakes and rivers during changes of wind and weather. Besides fires wade of green rubbish at top, I found gun­ powder explosions very useful in scaring them away from the vicinity of my garden. When several successful hordes alighted on my grass land I loaded my gun with dust shot, and, stooping low on the ground, discharged the contents of both barrels into their midst. Having done so several times, I enjoyed the welcome sight of seeing them rising into the air and going else-, where. I have no doubt a small can­ non on such occasions, heavily loaded with sharp sand, would hasten their flight • The Lick Observatory Clocks. The Lick Observatory has five stand­ ard clocks by the best makers in the world. They are all bolted to heavy brick piers, which pass up through the floor of a room specially constructed for the purpose, with double doors, windows, and walls throughout The piers are built on the solid rock of the mountain, and are entirely disconnected from the building, so that no jar can be communicated to the clocks. The double walls of the room effectually guard against sudden changes of tem­ perature. Five chronometers are also kept here, two of which are regularly .used in connection with the time ser­ vice. In Bome observatories the clock- room is situated deep under ground, and the clocks are even sealed up in air-tight cases, but the equable climate of California renders this unnecessary on Mt Hamilton. Four of the ob­ servatory clocks keep sidereal time, and are allowed to ran without regulation, their errors being allowed for; the fifth is the standard mean time clock, and is constantly ad­ justed, so as to be as nearly right as possible every day at noon, when time signals are transmitted to the railroads. This is effected by means of small weights of different sizes. The one most usad makes the clock gain a tenth of a second per hour when placed on top of the pendulum, and makes it lose the same amount when placed on a little shelf at the bottom. It weighs 73.1 grains. The clock is compared with one of the sidereal clocks and two chronometers ever day a little be­ fore 9 o'clock in the morning, and thus its error is determined. Then the weight isf applied, so as to correct the error before noon. If, for instance, the clock should be found two-tenths of a second slow, the weight would be put on top of the pen­ dulum and removed at the end of two hoars, when the clock would be just right. The pendulum is of itself so nearly in adjustment that the clock will- run a day without getting more than the tenth of a second out, and it is hardly ever necessary to correct an error of as much as two-tenths of a second. The rule which has been adopted is to always have the clock . within a tenth of a second at noon. Another comparison with the two chronometers immediately after the Boon signals tire sent gives the precise amount of errpr of the latter. The errors of the nid ureal clocks are deter­ mined bv observation three times a week. There are other methods of regulating a clock without disturbing 1 -its pendulum, bnt probably none are .simpler and better than this. American* Abroad. .Some of the Americaus who visit Europe are such odd personages that it is not to l«e wondered at if they give the people they meet a queer idea of our nation. Some of these are very fond of boasting that they oome from a part of our country where currants are as large as gr ipes, grapes as big as plums, plains the size of peaches, peaches like melons, melons as bijf as great clothes-baskets, and other things to match. Others compluin if thev can­ not have ice-wat^r and griddle-cakes in every Europe® i city they visit; while others again are continually growling trod giumbling because waiters and drivers expect small fees, not consid­ ering tiiat'at hotne they not onlv pay .Very ranch more at hotels, and for car- "iiage hire, but sometimes are expected to give fees which are fen times as much as th<* poor people of Europe are Accustomed to receive.

His ragged boots were, in the stage phrase, prop­ erties ; whole boots were given him again and again, and always gladly ac­ cepted ; and the next day, there he was on the road as nsual, with toes ex­ posed. His boots were his method; thsy were the man's trade; without his boots he would have starved; tie did not live by charity, but by appealing to a gross taste in the public, which loves the limelight on the actor's face, and the toes out of the beggar's boots. There is a true poverty whioh no one sees; a false and merely mimetic poverty, which usurps its place and dress, and lives, and above all drinks, on the fruits of usurpation. The true poverty does not go into the street; the banker may rest assured, he has never put a penny in its hand. The self-respecting poor beg from each other; never from the rich. To live in the frock-coated ranks of life, to hear canting scenes of gratitude re­ hearsed for two pence, a man might suppose that giving was a thing gone out of fashion; yet it goes forward on a scale so great as to fill me with sur­ prise. In the houses of the working class, all day long there will be a foot upon the stair; all day long there will be knocking at the doors; beg­ gars come, beggars go, without stint, hardly with intermission, from morn­ ing till night; and meanwhile, in the same city and but a few streets off, the castles of the rich stand unsummoned. Get the tale of any honest tramp, you will find it was always the poor who helped him; get the truth from any workman who has met misfortunes, it was always next door that he would go for help, or only with sueli excep­ tions as are said to prove a rule; look at the course of the mimetic beggar, it is through the poor quarters that he trails his po?sage, showing his band­ ages to every window, piercing even to the attics with his nasal song. Here is a remarkable state of things in our Christian commonwealths, that ,the peor only shonld be asked to give.-- Robert Louis Stevenson. ' W * The Moose. ? - . The latest Smithsonian report says that in a few years more the moose, deer, mountain sheep, and goat, the last of the great game animals, will be wholly exterminated. Whether the game laws of Maine will be able to put this prophecjr to naught so far as the moose and deer is concerned will de­ pend very much on how well they are enforced. It is certain that the deer and moose are much more numerous in our northern forests than they were a few years ago. The moose especially, which a few years ago hat appar­ ently disappeared, are here again in considerable numbeis, either having multiplied under protective laws, or drifted back from harrassment in Can­ adian haunts. The deer have unques­ tionably increased because they have been protected; and from border oamps this winter have come reports that their enemies, the wolves, have returned, tempted back by the increase of game. From present appearances the Smith­ sonian scientists may study the Maine moose at their leisure. We hope to have him with us for some time longer. --Portland Press. It Was a Good NNU The young man had asked him (or the hand of his daughter, and pang wrung the fatherly heart of Mr. Ka- jones as he looked at the youth for some moments in silence and thought of the bitterness of parting with his well-beloved child. "I suppose, Oliver," he said at last, "it is only natural and right that when the young birds have become old enough to fly they should leave their parental nest and go off with their chosen mutes to build nests of their own, and yet it hurts, Oliver; it hurts when I think of one of my fledglings getting ready to fly away."

In some experiments with ozone as a curativa agent, an English lady, s) far advanced in consumption that her case appeared hopeless, has been treated with inhalation of this gas, with results described as marvel­ ous. Alter a month's treatment, the appetite was regained, the sleep calm and refreshing, and there was a very good prospect of recovery. The ozone was prepared by passing a stream of oxygen through the current of an induction coil, and was administered with atmospheric air in the proportion of one in five. The experimenter has reached the conclusion that the ozone treatment is especially applicable to all germ diseases.--Arkansaw Trav­ eler.

Tobacco is pernicious to growing children. Used in moderation, the majoritv of healthy adults can smoke it witliout harm. It does not in these shorten life or produce degenerative changes. Nearly one half of Prof. Humphrey's collection of centenarians were tobacco- users. It is particularly harmless to those who live out-doors and ongage in physical work. It is particularly apt to injure thoge who live in-doors. * The worst feature about its use is the diffi­ culty some persons have in smoking in moderation. This is especially true of brain-workers, and it is for this reason that physicians never advise the ac­ quirement of the tobacoo habit But among the great mass of working peo­ ple the use of tobacco is apparently a harmless One. • DIPHTHERIA. A correspondent of S ience, Mr. P. J.,Farnsworth, of Clinton, Iowa, finds a very striking resemblance between the membrane of diptheria and the fungi that produce dry rot, or more es­ pecially those forms that grow in living trees. A white or yellow leathery sub­ stance is produced, sometimes known as "punk"; the roots of the fungus pen­ etrate the cells of the wood in every di­ rection, producing disintegration and decay. Diptheria is called an exuda­ tion, and classed as a bacterial disease, when in fact it is a fungus of a higher order. It grows on the surface, and spreads by fibulations, and its roots penetrate deeply into the tissue, pro­ ducing decomposition, which becomes the soil for bacteria, generating poisons that are absorbed and powerfully af­ fect the whole system. In this view its life history has not been studied or found out It is known that the mem­ brane can be transplanted, but how it is propagated by spores is unknown. There is evidently some peculiar con­ dition required, it may be that an al­ kaline condition of the system is re­ quired, which is the reason of the ca- priciousness of its infection. SCARLET FEVER AKD THE XTLKMJ The Sanitary News reports tha _ ticulars of a case of scarlet fever in'the children of four families living in the vicinity of Parksido, and on Greenwood avenue, in Hyde Park. These families were served by the same milkman and during the same period of time. It seems that the family with which this milkman lived had the scarlet fever, and that in November the milk­ man's baby was very ill and had an acute inflammation of the kidneys. No fever card was put up on the house nor did the milkman stop delivering milk. Children in four different families whom this man served with milk were attacked at about the same time, and at the same time that the disease pre­ vailed in the family with whioh the milkman lived. CLEANLINESS IN VACCINATION, Dr. J. R Kewley, of Chicago, writes to the Meeical Standard: "I have had arms presented to me for vaccination which evidently had not known water for months, if they had at all since they left the hands of the monthly nurse. The clothing covering the arm Was equally filthy. Under such con­ ditions, if unmodified, nothing but in­ flamed arms could be expected. Too often a septic lance or vaccinator is used, with all the direful results. I re­ peat, pure, fresh virus, aseptically used, will produce typical results. In this manner, it is impossible to remove the popular objections to vaccination. By proper agitation the time will come when we can rely upon our supply of virus." A Case of Too Much Government* Very rosy pictures have from time to time been drawn of the town of Pull­ man, Ilia, and it has has been regarded by many as a sort of industrial para­ dise, where the workman who was so fortunate as to secure employment would at the same time secure for himself all things necessary for his oomplete happiness. Some years ago we expressed donbt as to the realization of the expecta­ tions regarding it, and the opinions ex­ pressed at that time are now confirmed by the fact, as reported in the papers, that the people living there are mak­ ing an effort to have the place made a part of Chicago; "the monarchical na­ ture of everything in Pullman" being given as the reason. The fact is that men and women are not mere machines, but have varying tastes and ambitions, which they must be allowed to seek the gratification of in their own way, the same as other people. It would seem at the first glance as though peoplo 'Houldbe happy in such a town as Mr. Pullman has provided for his employes and their families, but the fact is that no community where the expression of individual taste is re­ pressed or prevented can ever be sue* cessful while human nature is as it is, and the fact needs to be recalled occasion­ ally, that the human nature of ^prk- men is very much the same human na­ ture as is found in other people, and that they will never be satisfied to have their employers decide just what their manner of life shall be. When a man has honestly earned a given amount of money, that' amount should be paid to him in money, with­ out any restriction as to how it should be spent, other than what the laws pro­ vide to secure the equal rights of others. We do not in the least mean to re* fleet upon the good mentions of the founder of Pullman, and have no doubt but that his rule there, which is considered to be so "monarchial," is honestly considered by him to be cal­ culated to promote the happiness and well-being of the people, but never­ theless t-uch a social condition as is there presented is at variance with hu­ man nature as it is at present consti­ tuted.--American Machinist Dft B* C.
