LOCUSTS IN CHINA.
They Are Regarded as a Calamity
from Heaven.
The Singular Method A.Iowted by he
t'elemUU for KitermlDatlnK the I'eata
A guwr Oeeutuatlou tor
Soliliera.
The great province of Kiang--Sno,
China, is beintf devastated by locusts.
Consul Jones at Chin-Kianjr sends the
state department an account of the
curious efforts made by the afllieted
sections to dispel the scour-re. says a
Washington correspondent of the St.
Louis tUobe-Democrat. Some of the
methods resorted to are as striking as
the sufrrestions offered to the Kansas
people when they were suffering from
a similar visitation some years ao.
W hen the locusts make their appear
ance in one of these Chinese districts
there is consternation amontf the un
fortunate peasantry, who assemble in
the fields with wild clamor ami din of
ponps, armed with Ions- bamboos with
streamers attached, and vainly en
deavor to drive off the terrible in
vaders who are settling1 down in myr
iads and devouring their crops before
their eyes. Every leaf and twitf is
covered'thick, pivinfT the appearance
of some hideous yellow fruit or plant.
A faint, sour smell, like that of fer
menting vegetable matter, is always
perceptible in the neighborhood It
comes, no doubt, from the dropping of
the insects.
There is a curious and widespread
belief anion"- the Chinese in the exist
ence of a "kinrr" locust "wang-" he is
called of colossal size ami quasi
supernatural character, who hovers in
visibly in the upper regions of the air,
directing and controlling- the migra
tions of the different swarms. At some
places the leading- officials have pub
licly sacrificed and made offerings to
the kin? of the locusts in order that he
might be influenced to spare their lo
calities. I know of few sights," writes the
consul, 'more extraordinary than a
swarm engag-ed in pairing. The air is
tilled with clouds of locusts drifting-,
circling, crossing and recrossing. with
a faint, whirling- noise, and settling on
the ground in thousands of couples.
The ground is carjieted thickly with
them; you cannot take a step without
crunching- heaps of them under your
feet, while thousands more start up in
pattering volleys against your leg's,
hands and face.''
The eggs are deposited in hides
drilled by the female an inch or more
deep in the ground. The time required
for hatching depends entirely on the
temperature. In very hot weather the
new brood begin to make its appear
ance at the end of a week. At this
stagu they are vry small, black, and
as active as lloas, making extraordi
nary bounds by means of their muscu
lar hind legs. At a little distance they
suggest the idea of a swarm of black
ants seized with sudden insanity. In
shape they are exact copies of their
parents, save tor tne want of wings.
They are greedy feeders and grow rap
idly. Hy the eighth or ninth day
-wings have budded and the color be
gins to change, yellow sjxits appear
ing, and iu about a mouth they are
full grown.
The destruction, by suitable meas
ures, of this formidable pest, involving,
as it does, the prevention of famines,
fever epidemics and riots, is a matter
of grave public concern. One con
stantly hears of mandarins losing
theirj.uttons and being disgraced as
the penalty of remissness or failure to
destroy the enemy.
Consul Jones says the Chinese con
sider that the visitation a.f the locusts
is a "calamity from Heaven, and that
there is no help for it." Chinese rec
ords chronicle many instances of the
appearance and the e:tl:iiiiit i.-s indicted
by locusts in former times, but they
have no peculiarly effective methods'
of destroying them. The government
usually issues proclamations ordering
out the soldiers and encouraging the
farmers to destroy them. The latter
are given a bounty for their destruc
tion. The soldiers, with their officers at
their head, are used against the lo
custs as against an adverse army in
the field. Instead of a gun or a lance,
however, eaeli soldier is armed w ith a
coarse hempen bag attached to a bam
boo pole, which, with wide-open
mouth, is waved back ami forth among
the swarms until filled, when they are
killed and the action reuewed.

The superstitions of actors would fill
a book and so also would those of sail
ors. Hut this, savs the Hoston Home
Journal, has affected the amateur
yaehtmen, who are men of education
and who might lie expected to laugh
at it. Notice the names of crack racers
of late years, and it will be seen that
the mystic seven has entered most
largely into their selection. Iu lsyi
the "Adams boys," as they are called,
hail a lat called the Beatrix (notice
the seven letters) which was very suc
cessful. She was altered and renamed
the Harpoon, which, in addition to the
seven letters, had a lucky oo. The
Typhoon had the lucky seven letters
and the lucky oo, ami was eminently
successful, therefore. It is also lucky
to have double consonants in tin' mid
dle of the name. The (iossoon. a cut
ter owned by the Adams tx.ys. won all
the races iu her class in IsiHt, and iu a
previous year these same yaehtmen
misspelled a word for the sake of gaining-
the lucky combination, and called
a boat the ltablioon.

trod the stage.
Fortune was none too kind to either
of these two women; indeed, it seems
as if those best defied years w ho were
constantly stirred up to effort. It de
