The locusts ar- rive from the direction of the des- erts in swarms so thick as to hide the sun. They cover the ground as with a yellow carpet, and some- times render the railways so slip- pery that trains can hardly run. At this stage they are not voracious, being engaged principally in laying their eggs. But 40 days later the young locusts, not yet winged, be- gin to run about, devouring every green thing, including not only leaves, but even the bark and tend- er sheets of trees. The hordes, ad- vancing in a body, sometimes cover an area of several square miles. Barricades of cloth, surmounted with waxed strips, erected in the line of march, arrest the progress of the insects, which are unable to crawl up the smooth surface. Pass- ing along the line of the barricades, they fall into ditches dug for the purpose, where they are killed with corrosive liquids. Another method is to smooth descending paths, end- ing in poisoned ditches. The in- sects follow the descents, and thus go to their death. --- -'1'-- CEVENTEEN YEARS. Dr. Herbst, of Bremen, has made a careful study of the case of the peasant's daughter who recently awoke after having slept seventeen yars. The subject, he says, is now forty-four years of age, and feels none the worse for lying helpless so long. She only injury she has sus- tained is the loss of her teeth. all of which with the exce'ion of three fell out. She spoke and walked with difficulty at first, but the use of her faculties soon returned to her. JUST A VAIti.1TION.
