A PLAGUE OF LOCUSTS.
Jerusalem Was Visited By Them For
Several Days.
In an article in the National Geo-
graphic Magazine, Mr. John D. Whit-
ing describes the ravages of the lo-
custs that descended on Jerusalem in
1915 and wrought destruction to gar-
dens, farms and vineyards throughout
Palestine, He says;
In Jerusalem they were first seen
one day early in March, at noon. The
sunshine was suddenly darkened, and
then came a veritable shower of their
excretions, which fell thick and fast, •
and resembled those of mice. At times
the insects were hundreds of feet in
the air; again they came down quite
low, and some of them alighted, The
clouds of them were so dense as to
appear quite black, with the edges
lighter, until they faded away into
the blue sky.
When they first reached Jerusalem
countless numbers poured into the
broad -walled road that leads into the
city from the west. For three or four
days an unending stream filled the
road from side to side, like troops
marching on parade, and in spite of
the traffic at that point, their ranks,
although thinned, entered the ancient
gateway and the New Breach. The
moat round "David's Tower" was so
filled that the dry earth seemed to be
a living mass. Up the city walls and
the castle they climbed to the very
top.
They were disastrous to the crops
in the country, and obnoxious in the
houses, for they squeezed through the
cracks of doors and windows, and
even scaled the ;,galls to the roofs, and
then got into the houses by throwing
themselves into the open courts. Wo-
men frantically swept the walls and
roofs of their homes, but to no avail.
For several days Jerusalem was
thus visited, but the insects evidently
sought greener and less populated dis-
tricts; so, after the first few days, we
saw nothing more of them. At Beth-
lehem heavy showers of rain brought
them to the earth, and the poorer peo-
ple gathered quantities of them. A
few ate them roasted; but the main
reason for collecting them was to
get the small bounty offered by the lo-
cal government of Bethlehem. Tons
of the insects were destroyed; most
of them were buried alive, until sev-
eral ancient abandoned cisterns were
filled.
The native vineyards and orchards
were stripped bare to the bark of the
trees and vines. Of all things fig
leaves best suited their taste; and
once a tree fell a prey to them, the
ground about would be literally layers
deep.

118 SUICIDES IN WEEK.
Despair of Hunger in Germany is
Evident.
News from Munich states that dur-
ing a recent week, owing to the mis-
ery of Starvation, 118 suicides, the
majority of whom were women, hap-
pened in Germany.
One mother, accompanied by three
' young • children, shot herself before
the gates of the Royal Palace of Mu-
nich and in the presence of the sen-
tries. A placard found pinned to her
breast stated; "Your Majesty, feed
my children, I cannot."

Allan Line Chief Cook to Feed Sol-

The 245th Battalion, which has just

of Capt. Andrew Allan, one of its

A GREAT CONVENIENCE.
What the Canadian Pacific Railway
Is Doing For Its Employees.

tera luncheon at 16 cents in a large
apartment which will accommodate
251 persons at a sitting. Judging by
the attendances, it is bound to be one
of the most popular features the com-
pany has put its hand to. There are
hundreds of girls, especially, who
have not time to go home, or who,
if they do go honxe, are greatly press-
ed for time, With this service at
their disposal they will save ear fare;
they will get a thoroughly satisfying
luncheon; and they can have the com-
fort of the lounge room in connection
on wet or cold days --a lounge room,
which, contains a piano, magazines!
and papers and in which the em-"
ployees can rest for the balance of
their lunch hour. The arrangement !;
is four to a table; all the appoint-
ments are harmonious; there is an
air of quiet dignity about the place.
Mr, W. A. Cooper, manager of the
sleeping and dining ear department,
said that this Was in accordance with

DEAF MAN IN WAR.
He Faces Silent Death Rescuing the
Wounded.
Some day the stretcher bearers who
are working steadily throughout the
big advance ought to have a monu-
ment all to themselves. They have
already earned it by their magnificent
courage under terrific fire. One of-
ficer of a Manchester "Pals" regi-
mept which fought at Mametz and
elsewhere is now in a London hos-
pital, his life saved by the courage of
the men who dashed through a cur-
tain of fire to his rescue when he fell
helplessly wounded. -
He says that all the time the
stretcher bearers were doing these
things which deserved the Dis-
tinguished Conduct Medal, and he told
of at least one man who he thinks
has won it. This is a man so deaf
that he was unfit for work in the
trenches. He was a cheerful sort
and the men liked the queer things
that happened when he failed to hear
an order.
Every one but the deaf man stood
to attention. He took no notice. • '
"Stand tot" shouted the colonel.
The deaf man turned pathetic eyes on
him. "Is it true, sir," he asked anx-
iously, "that the Government have
stopped the rum ration?" During
the big battle he was ordered to the
clearing station just behind the lines,
but he spent the whole day under the
murderous fire of the machine guns
and the artillery between the first
line trenches and a shorter trench far
advanced in the most exposed part of
the ground, picking up the wounded,
twisting them on to his broad back,
and staggering back with them .under
fire until he reached a place of com-
parative safety.
Then he went back into the thick
of it again. He was the one man
in that toiling, devoted company who
did not hear the awful clamor of the
shells, but calmly faded a silent

Fisherman.
How to get a man into a bunk that
was a foot too short for him, and how
to keep him from being discontented
with his bed, was the Procrustean
problem solved by Lord Strathcona
when, as Donald A. Smith, he was a
chief factor of the Hudson's Bay Com-
pany. A solution at which he arrived'
is described -by Mr. Beckles Wilson in
his "Life of Lord Strathcona and
Mount Royal."
The company had a number of
boarded huts for the fishermen in
their employ, of such narrow dimen-
sions as to afford sleeping accommo-
dations only for persons of normal
length. On one occasion a very hon-
est and active man presented himself
to Chief Factor Smith for a bunk in
one of these huts. The difficulty was
that he was six feet six inches in
length—nearly a foot longer than the
bunk. On an inspection of his quar-
ters he rejected Mr. Smith's offer
summarily, declaring that he was not
going to be cramped for any agent
or planter living, and neither was he
content to be sawed in two.
"Will a bed seven feet long suit
you?" asked the chief factor.
The fisherman said it would. There-
upon Mr. Smith sent for the com-
pany's carpenter; a hole was cut in
the wall of the building, to which a
box lined with deerskin was applied
outside and rendered stable by props.
The man afterwards told Mr. Smith
it was the first thoroughly comfort-
able bed he had occupied in years. The
receptacle was afterwards exhibited
at the store at Rigolet and enjoyed
much local fame as "Bill Sadler's leg
box."
BITS ABOUT ANTWERP.
A Bell Which Is Rung Only When the
Nuns Want. Food.
Antwerp, the city of churches and
chimes, is crowned with history, and
its name will figure prominently when
the page of the future comes to be
written. The romantic Belgian city,
that ever reminds with the sound of
church bells, will doubtless have heard
lately the sinister chime of a bell that
has not been rung within the history
of living man. The bell hangs in a
convent supported by nuns of a curi-
ous order. These nuns have all been
great ladies' who have renounced the
world and all its ways, and consecrat-
ed their.` wealth to the church. Having
taken 'the vow of poverty they walk
through life barefooted, and hold no
communication whatever with the
busy populace outside their walls. For
their daily bread they depend solely
on the charity of the townspeople,
who religiously leave food on their
doorway every day. The bell hanging
in their eonvent is never tolled, it be-
ing kept as a last desperate resold to
inform the city that the nuns can live
no longer unless they have food.
